Alright so maybe I'm just a big loser, geek, nerd, loser, whatever you want to call it. I was just curious if anyone else was in anticipation for the release of the last Harry Potter book. I will be at the store Friday night to be 1 of the first in the midwest to purchase.

And to help encourage responses in this thread (although it may need to be moved) pictures of any lovely ladies holding the book would be very nice

Welp Harry Potter event at Wally went off without a hitch... one bitch customer out of the 400 that showed up to get their copy.... had two pallets , got rid of one. I spear headed it .. had a trivia contest ... food... some of the crew dressed up...played the Potter Flicks on the TV's.  They had a cape for me but where I am a beast it looked goofy on me so i opted for all black clothing with a celtic cross around my neck to give it that magic feel. 

What made my entire evening was this young girl who came in dressed as Hermoinie. She was the only one who came dressed as any of the Potter gang as far a customers go.  Her grandmother had bought her to get her book.  She was a courteous patient girl.  She took her pictures with all of the dressed crew and her grandmother told me while we were taking pics " She has been waiting all day to come and get her book. Her father, who is terminaly ill gave her the money to come get her book."  Well I was giving out gift cards for the contest prizes and basically gave her a gift card just for putting for the effort. So she baiscally got half off her book price. It made the what little bit of pissing and moaning other folks were doing all that easier to deal with. To know that this little girl who took the time and who was such a Harry Potter fan to dress up and was going through so much in her young life, could be so well behaved. She even came up and thanked me later after she got her book.

It sounds sappy I know.  But I don't give a fuck.  I am a sap when it comes to getting my faith renewed in people after dealing with fucking crabastic cocksuckers on a daily basis. 

That's not sappy. It makes me feel good when well behaved kids who are dealt a shit hand get a little something back.

And about the cape idea. You should have worn the cape and nothing else.

Lining up for a book??????????????

Reading a book??????????
