NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Start spreadin' the news, 'bout those forced to stay
We want to be a part of it – New York, New York!
If we could just choose, we'd go to BEA
Right through the very heart of it – New York, New York!

We wanna wake up in the City with all our Tweeps
But we'll have to Tweet about it cuz – we're at the bottom of the heap!

Our blogosphere friends, are flying away
We want to follow them – to old New York!
If we can't see them there, we'll Tweet them everywhere!
Our hearts are yours New York, New York!

(With apologies to composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb as well as Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli and, I guess I owe all of you an apology, too!)

We can't ALL be in New York this weekend. That much weight might knock the planet out of its orbit! (Ba-dump-bump!) And nobody would ever get a cab! (OOPS! Now I have to apologize to all comedians everywhere, and to all of you--AGAIN!)

So even though it might LOOK like all the action's in Manhattan, those of us who have been left behind are making some fun of our own! Head on over to The Book Lady's Blog and find out how we can all connect for a group chat on Friday night via Twitter. Rebecca's done a lot of hard work organizing this event. Come on, let's get Twitterpated!
