Welcome to the Spier NY BEA blog, where all weekend long we will be posting with the sights and buzz from Jacob Javitz Center here in NYC.

For the last two days we’ve been prepping for the event here at the agency. Knowing the amount of chit-chat, hand-shaking, note-taking etc. that takes place at Book Expo, we’ve created what we’ve dubbed the BEA SURVIVAL KIT…complete with all of the ingredients listed above.

On Thursday, 5/31, from 1- 5 pm a group of us from Spier NY will be at BEA in our own booth. We’ll be handing out cold bottles of water and anyone who stops by to say hello can be entered to win a free weekend in a luxury suite at The Alex Hotel, or one of 5 BEA SURVIVAL KITS.

The winner of the weekend stay will be announced right here on the blog tomorrow night, so be sure to stop back to see who the lucky winner is, and also to take a look at some of the first sights and sounds from the floors of BEA….

Weather forecast for the next 3 days:
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny, high of 89
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy, high of 86
SATURDAY: Scattered thunderstorms, humid, high of 87

STAY COOL! More tomorrow…
