I don't know if I'll be bringing a rolling bag the first two days I'm there since I can only come for a few hours in the afternoon.Cialina at Muggle-Born.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149012619221886587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-80486981739980993452011-05-18T09:09:21.936-04:002011-05-18T09:09:21.936-04:00All of the cabs I took at BEA last year had it so ...All of the cabs I took at BEA last year had it so you could use your credit card in the back and even add tip, so really you don't need cash for taxis.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-20953964013954600302011-05-17T17:39:52.088-04:002011-05-17T17:39:52.088-04:00@Rhiannon - I had heard that happened in 2010 (I d...@Rhiannon - I had heard that happened in 2010 (I didn't go that year so I don't know) but last year I didn't hear anything about lost books. They give you a ticket when you check your bag in (last year it cost $3 for the day) and you need it to get into the roped off area. They wouldn't let me go in with my husband either. Only one person per ticket and they were limiting how many people could go in at a time. Hope that helps.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-21019710824200648692011-05-17T17:21:09.762-04:002011-05-17T17:21:09.762-04:00Great post!

It seems that the Autographing Tables are not ticketed.Midnyte Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411332857885069319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-25649138582023591662011-05-17T15:22:34.271-04:002011-05-17T15:22:34.271-04:00Great tips :)Great tips :)Julie@My5monkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861113387434481518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-65823274936524469022011-05-17T14:51:18.397-04:002011-05-17T14:51:18.397-04:00I know what you mean about grabbing too many books...I know what you mean about grabbing too many books. I went to RT last year and all the free books were too hard to resist and then I got home and ended up giving away a lot of them xP.<br /><br />I want to go to BEA next year and will have to remember to only grab what I really want because I'll either have to carry it all back with me on a plane or ship it internationally which does not do media mail...boo.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips! I'll be heading to the Javits Center in Oct for the Anime Festival and Comic con, I will remember the snacks and shoes!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842315793902005771noreply@blogger.com
