The response to this spur-of-the-moment idea has been phenomenal. Eighty-five participants have signed up so far, with more signing up each day. The organizers are still working behind the scenes to finalize the schedules and list of topics. The tentative schedule is as follows:
- Tuesday, May 25: BEA-related topic post
- Wednesday, May 26: Blogger interviews/optional BEA topic post
- Thursday, May 27: Giveaway Day/optional BEA topic post/Twitter party
- Friday, May 28: BBCon-related topic post
Don’t forget Twitter! Our official hashtag is #armchairBEA. We will even have our own Twitter Party on Thursday, May 27th, complete with swag.
Because we wanted to make it easy on everyone to find information, Florinda from The Three R’s Blog// Reading, ‘Riting, and Randomness created our own dedicated Armchair BEA blog. Please check this site for all the latest information!

I would have love to have gone as well, but Jim was uncomfortable with the idea of me going to NYC for the first time ever by myself. Oh well. Maybe I can convince him to go next year!
Yippee! I'm going to be there. I would have loved to go to the real one but we are spending big bucks remodeling our kitchen and putting in hardwood in our living room.
