BookCon 2005
Location: Javits Center, New York, NY
Date: May 30, 2015
Yesterday I went to BookCon and had a blast. I learned from last year to bring a carry-on suitcase and to be prepared to stand. Luckily I was granted a medical badge and was able to enter the conference 10 minutes before the general public. I still did a lot of standing but at least I paced myself and thanks to my friend, she got me access to chairs.
Also learned from last year, is to make a strategic plan of what we wanted to see and with careful planning, we manage to see and do all the things that we wanted to do and more. I saw a couple of my author friends and it was good to see them and chat for a little while. Then it was going here, there and everyone and even a break for a meal before the energy was sapped right out of me. The day was long as we got there around 8:30 and left after 5pm and then it was time to head for home. I’ll be back next year with an even better game plan.
Sounds like that was a FUN time!
Envy! Glad you got to go and had a satisfying day.
Sounds like you are having fun! Wish my granddaughter and I could be there!
It looks like you did a fabulous haul! I’m jealous. 😀
It looks like a fun event.
I can spend hours in a book store.
All I know to say is WOW!
Wow! You lucky, lucky Lady!
Looks like you’ve got some great reads there!
Thank you for letting us share your experience Dru Ann. It lets me glimpse into an event that I may not experience for myself.

BucketList is EXPANDING!!!
It looks like you had a fantastic time Dru. I wish I could have been there with you.

Wow, what fun! I love opportunities like that to mingle with folks who love books. Good for you!!
Fabulous! Now I’m going to have to make plans to attend BookCon. LOL!
Wonderful! That’s quite a haul. If I went I would have to get a walker with a seat. I also have back pain. Did your suitcase have wheels?
