BEAtwittyparty: Meet the Tweeps
2009 at 6pm Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a book junkie in possession of a healthy reading habit must be in want of a trip to this year’s BEA. Many members of our fine community are lucky enough to be heading out to NYC even as I write this….but for the rest of us, there’s the BEA Twitty Party, this Friday, May 29th, from 8-10pm Eastern.
Here’s the list of Tweeps who will be hanging out to talk books and publishing, grab some freebies from the Twitty Party giveaways (deets on those coming tomorrow), and commiserate with other wanna-be BEAers. Check out their blogs, follow them on Twitter, and talk amongst yourselves! Participants, please check your links and let me know if there are any problems.
And please, by all means, share info about the party via your blog and Twitter and reach out to other sad bookaholics who can’t make the trip to NYC.
If you’re not signed up, fear not, there’s still time! Leave a comment here with your name, a link to your blog (if you have one), and your Twitter name, and I’ll add you to the list.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates here at The Book Lady’s Blog and be sure to follow me on Twitter or subscribe to my tweets (enter this in your RSS feeder) to stay on top of all the #BEAtwittyparty goodness.
Meet the Tweeps!

Do we follow everybody else to participate, or are we “allowed” to communicate via the hashtag?
I’d love to join the party! I’m @gentlereader, but my blog’s called Shelf Life. Thanks!
Do whatever works best for you!

Count me in please !! I am so jealous of those who are going, I hope to make it next year for sure!
MAN! Great work, that must have taken SO long. Thanks so much for doing that!!
I have completely forgotten to sign up! I’m @lithousewife. Also, is it too late to offer up some prizes?
Never too late to offer up goodies! Welcome to the party.

I’m very excited for the commiseration convention. Love the adaptation of Austen for your opening as well.
I just tried to comment, but I think something weird happened. I’m late joining, but I’m excited about it!
I’m @wordlily
Can’t wait! I’m horrible at following the hashtags, so I’m going to follow everyone. Hope no one minds. =)
Yay! I’m so excited! I think I actually like this better than going to BEA. At least that’s what I’m telling myself! LOL Thanks for doing this Rebecca, it’s going to be so much fun!
Have a great time with the virtual BEATweet
I will be closing at my store tomorrow night (boo, hiss, sad, but someone has to flog the books) so I’ll probably log into Twitter at 11:30pm est tomorrow to see everyone drunk-Twittering (lol)
but I’m @balletbookworm with balletbookworm.blogspot.com and I’ll probably do a post or something
I would like to participate! I have my son’s piano recital right beforehand and then dinner prep during, but I will try to tweet in between everything, and follow along.
Here’s my username: AtHomeWithBooks.
Excellent! I’ll send you a list of goodies tonight.
I’ve posted about this event on my blog: http://aseaofbooks.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-york-new-york.html
I am so excited to participate! This is going to be so much fun! I am following everyone, too. I figured it would be easier than following #hashtag plus these are some great bloggers, too! Alas, I am thinking I need to update the names posts again!
Seems like my previous reply didn’t show up.
Please add me to the list.

Thank you for putting this together, Rebecca! It will be fun for sure, and what a great way to meet new bloggers
I JUST saw this on Twitter. Me too!!!! I think it’s about 12pm Sat my time; so perfect
I want to join in! I have to quit pouting that I could go and join in at least some of the fun!

I’ll stop by for the BEA Twitter Party!
I was at BEA 5 years ago so I know exactly what I’m missing…which makes envy sweeter.
But I hope to go again…maybe next year when my 6th THE SEER debuts (after a 3 year wait).

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll fix that.
