Alexandre, is the event open to the public? I went on their website and it doesn't look like the general public can go.
Let me know!

Oh, and I also posted reviews for your books on Amazon!

Steph, you're right and I'm disgusted. Here are the rates. http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/RNA/...
In short : 55 usd if you book in advance and 88 usd on the spot. I'm coming up with an idea, why don't we all meet in a café or starbucks outside the fair ? Please pitch some ideas of places and schedule, get all together. Ok ? (I'm not Matt but let's try something ! At least you wont have to dance but we'll have something to speak about !)
my best
Alex

I would love to meet you in NYC, I have read your 2 african books last year and enjoyed the wonderful adventures (& saw some of the PBS serie). I live in Washington, DC so the Big Apple is not too far. Let me know where and when (Sat. or Sunday will be best).
Au plaisir de se rencontrer,

Alexandre, It looks like there is a Starbucks inside the Javitz Center, we could try to meet there, unless you would rather meet somewhere closer to where you are staying in the city? Whatever is most convenient for you. My husband and I could meet any time after 1 pm on Saturday. Let me know!

Sorry stephanie, I'll be too busy on Saturday with interviews and co, so I suggest that we meet on Sunday, it could be one o'clock, please check if the starbucks is accessible without paying the entrance fee.

Alex,

Sunday will work for us. I called the Jacob Javitz center about the Starbucks, and we could meet you there. It is a kiosk on the lowest level floor. Or we can meet at a Starbucks outside of the center. there are several within walking distance. Whichever you would prefer.

Stephanie

I think the one at lower level is safer : let's make it an appointment for anybody who wants to join. Looking forward. Alex

13. On Tuesday, May 19 2009, 19:52 by Stephanie

Okay. 1 PM at the Starbucks on the lower level of the Jacob Javitz Center. See you then!
Stephanie

it rains like in London here, and it`s depressing. Two meetings were canceled without notice. Poverty and misery are all over the place crawling into gutters, from Newark to New York. I crossed yesterday the path of the famous desperate lady with the stunning liquid blue eyes holding her two children tight under her arms and who became the iconic embodiment of 1929 crash. She was begging in the tube, with no children this time. Same emaciated face. Same reminder of the fragility of the whole thing. If I came only for that vision, it was worth it.
