Is anyone planning on coming to the convention next April? I'm so excited about it! (Of course, I'm on the planning committee, so I suppose I'd better be.) :)

I want to, but I was just in DC in August and it's hard to justify another coast-to-coast flight so soon on a student budget...

Pretty sure I am! In fact, I was at a book sale this morning, and as I was browsing the "travel" section, I saw an old book on D.C. and thought, "oh, good book to release at the convention!"

I'm not going to be part of convention as it comes the weekend just before Passover, but I hope to hop down to DC for a few hours at least. I do have to at least meet *you*, lilithcat! :)

Wish I could, but I don't think I'll be able to make it.

The Early Bird Rate for the 2011 BookCrossing Convention registration expires as the clock ticks over into the new year! That’s just under two weeks away. We are on Eastern Standard Time here in D.C. and so that is when the change will become effective.

If you would like to qualify for the lower $150 rate you must do 2 things:

One: You must submit your registration form BEFORE the clock strikes midnight on December 31, 2010 EST. (That’s when the ball falls in Times Square.)

Two: You must submit payment within 3 business days. That means that your PayPal transaction must be submitted or your check postmarked by Wednesday, January 5, 2011. If you cannot make this deadline then please send the regular convention fee amount of $175.

There are some special deals available now on the website: http://tinyurl.com/bcindcdeals. In order to qualify you must submit your PayPal payment or postmark your check within 3 business days of submitting your registration form. Don’t get disqualified from some great deals by procrastinating on sending in the payment.

(Please note: if you submitted your forms prior to December 1 and you have already paid, you will be grandfathered in and are qualified for promotions regardless of the length of time it took you to pay).

What are you waiting for? We want to see YOU at the convention in April, so register today! http://tinyurl.com/bcindcregistration

For those of you attending the BC Convention, and who happen to have a automobile with GPS guidance, there is another site not too far away which has 200,000 used books on their shelves available completely FREE. It is the Bookthing of Baltimore (www.bookthing.org), located near Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Museum of Art (also free). All books at the Bookthing have been donated for free distribution. The Bookthing is open only from 9am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday every week. This service has been around since about 1997, and has it's own building with a volunteer staff. Hope you can come see us.

Oh, I am sure that you will be seeing some BookCrossers, as a visit to the Bookthing is one of the available scheduled convention activities for Sunday afternoon. And I'm sure that others will go on their own.
