It’s here!  It’s finally, finally here.

Okay, if we’re splitting hairs, RWA’s National Conference officially begins on Tuesday, June 28.  You’re reading this on Tuesday, but I’m writing it on Monday night, so it’s all a little confusing (though not nearly as perplexing as time travel or score keeping in tennis).  In any event, my job (as I see it) is to give you the lay of the land here at the Marriott Marquis in New York City and random glimpses of Arrival Day.

freakishly fast, glass elevators

nice rooms!

BOOKS and SWAG

I’ve already spied several Rubies and can’t wait to see more at the Literacy Signing tomorrow!  Look for Ruby trading cards, and collect them all!

   Hi, Anne! This place is huge. I’ve only spotted one Ruby so far–our Jenn Bray-Weber. I agree with you on those fast elevators. I love the comfy bed. I love the shower. Hey, I love NY!
