You're Invited - Emerging Leaders Party at BEA

Last year I worked with Jessica Stockton Bagnulo of McNally Robinson and Written Nerd fame to stage a killer Emerging Leaders party at Floyd NY in Brooklyn. The picture indicates what truly professional party planners we are - be warned. Weare at it again with some help from Lisa at the ABA as well.

I’m told by our party guru here at BEA HQ, Beth, that this years party scene, The Woods, is even hipper than Floyd – it has a doorman, might it even have a velvet rope? Starting at 7pm the Wednesday before BookExpo it’ll be filled with booksellers under 40 and some great authors. Take a look at the particulars below and if you are going to be in L.A. for the big show, stop by and BookExpo will buy you a drink!

Where: The Woods - 1533 N. La Brea Hollywood

When: Wednesday, May 28th, 7:00pm - 9:00pm (open bar from 7:00pm - 8:00pm)

Hey! I didn't think that picture existed outside of the "embarassing drunken moments" folder on my computer...

Damn, it was a good time, though, right? Can't wait to do it all again with this year's crop of Emerging Leaders!

Hmmm, under 40? Does it count if you have the maturity level of a 15 year old?
