jenny_wildcatOMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Deathly Hallows comes out TONIGHT!!! (I'm at work, so I can't do the Chinese-Firedrill-type SQUEE-fest as I would like to, but I'm doing it in my head).
If I had planned my approached to DH better, I would have taken work off today and camped out last night at the unofficial DH pre-party for Barnes and Noble wristbands this morning (I have a reserved copy, but I couldn't be there at 9:00 to get my wristband for a reserved place in line).![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elucreh and shellic had a group in line at 5:00 pm last night and thusly were the first people in line. They said they'd get my wristband, so I'll probably be one of the first people to get my little mitts on a copy of DH. I love having friends in high places (and elucreh thinks I'm awesome for my Hallows theory and my extensive discussion of House prejudices *sparkle*).
I did go down from about 5:30 until midnight last night to hang out with the group and get the general feel and informing the clueless masses about why we were doing this (I had to explain to some older lady that Harry Potter was our generation's Rod Stewart - she admitted that was the only thing she ever camped out for).
The party was fairly calm, though I can honestly say that this was first party I've ever been to where the cops showed up. The B&N employees didn't lock up very well and one guy in our group started pulling on the doors as a joke and they came open and set off the silent alarm - no harm done, but it was kind of funny. The owners came down with their huge black lab (Padfoot Lives!!)
Right now, I'm getting mad at this lady who just called into the radio station complaining that people are already lining up outside Barnes and Noble with their kids and it's going to be so hot today and is B&N going to let them inside and why don't you just go down to Costco or K-Mart tomorrow and get the book and RAWR.
The deejay replied to her: "Well, those people will probably know the end of the book an hour before you do." after explaining to the uninitiated that these people were actually in line for wristbands and were coming back tonight. Morons. :P
I'm sure I'll post more later. My goal is to completely spam my flist before midnight tonight.
EDIT: Something to giggle over while we're out twiddling our thumbs: This guy kinda sounds like he's from They Might Be Giants. In any case, a very well-written song (not to mention ten kinds of amazing!)
