Be excellent to each other. Party on, dudes!

Last night, Todd and I checked out the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince party at Booksmith on Haight. Very interesting crowd of people. Too bad I forgot my wand, cape, hat, broomstick, robes, black cat, pet spider, and fairy dust. I did, however, remember to take my marbles.

There was a line of devout fans waiting for the doors to open. The two girls in front of us seemed very excited. Too excited, perhaps...

Booksmith posted great informational materials, both from the local store and Scholastic.

I won a bouncy purple "magical" ball in a raffle. It made it all worth it.

Who doesn't love Goblet of Fire Quidditch and Diagon Alley Bowling?

Booksmith hosted such a rocking party, the SFPD came to make sure everything was under control. I'm glad they were there because I think someone spiked my Mug root beer.

School (and house) spirit!

I'm not sure what this guy was wearing. The girl had HP glasses on, complete w/masking tape.

As midnight approached, people started crowding the registers. You'd think this was a Coldplay concert or something.
