Today was the first day of BEA and rather than doing a daily update, I'm going to do a Sunday night round up. So far the highlight was meeting Mad Max Perkins who came in costume - Merlin the magician! And the suprise is that out of over 100 people I asked, 98 didn't know who Jacob Javits was - BEA is being held in the Javits Center.
Liz Dubleman - of Vid Lit fame and Michael Cader of Publisher's Marketplace both knew he was a NY Senator.
I won't tell you who didn't know. That would be sort of bitchy. Especially since there is a bigger than life statue of him there that you can't miss along with a plaque explaining who he is.
What does BEA stand for?

And for ten extra points, who recalls his colorful wife?
