It's here...after nearly ten years of reading, discussing, guessing, and waiting, the day has finally arrived. Tonight at midnight, I will have in my hand, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't even think I can verbalize how I feel today! Euphoric, devastated, excited, nervous. But one thing is for sure. Tonight is going to be the most Harry Potter related fun I've ever had! Christine and I are going to be swinging by the Scholastic street fair before going to Barnes and Noble in Union Square where I'll get my book!
We had to go to the store this morning at 10:00 to get a numbered wristband, which will tell me where my place in line is tonight. The line was allllllllllllll the way around the block, and people were dressed in full wizard attire. Here's a little video I shot of the line:
And here I am getting my wristband!
Yesterday I turned the big 25. Christine and I had a fun day starting with an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet for only $6! Yum. And then we hung around the Rockefeller Plaza area and visited the Nintendo Store where I got to play the Harry Potter Wii game! We met up with Bo at the fondue restaurant Kashkaval where I was surprised with a cake and a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday." Finally, we went to a bar and met up with some more friends, and got to watch the Mets beat the Dodgers. All in all, a great day.
I've added lots of new photos over the past couple days, so click on my flickr badge to the right to see them!
