Similar to high school days, it's difficult for a book person to admit they are not going to the biggest book event of the event: the B.E.A. Book Expo. It's like saying you're not going to the prom.
And similar to the prom, being at the BEA can mirror the anxiety, crowd crushes, and the stealth drinking (at least until the evening).
For years Mr. Obie Joe was sure how the time spent was not equally maximized by those in the business for years. Then we read the account by Kim, the mighty agent, (pubrants.blogspot.com/), and nodded our head. For as many appointments, intended networking, one makes, the BEA is really about the awe of the scope of our industry.
See you in NYC in '09!
