Okay, I admit that I'm a weenie

[Snowflake]

I just pre-ordered Harry Potter gives JK Rowling another billion dollars.

I'm just a weenie, not even a bacon wrapped corn dog, just a weenie.

[Brigitte]

I'm never good at waiting for shipping, even if they say it'll arrive on it's release date. I will mosey over to Costco on release day and pick it up. They haven't ever run out on me before.

[katiesue]

I can't wait for the mail either. I have to run out as soon as I get up and Costco's just down the street.

[Snowflake]

But Amazon delivers on the day of release, where's the wait?

[Brigitte]

I worry that it won't work out I guess. The mail gets here before I'd be off that day too...hmm.

If you think that's bad, Audra and I go to a Barnes & Noble midnight release party and this will be our third in a row!

[katiesue]

I plan on going to a midnight release but then I'm too much of a weenie to get out of my nice warm comfy bed to go. Then I end up at Costco.

[Not Afraid]

Oh no! Our July Swanking is going to be a midnight release party, I just know it! ;)

Hey, you aren't alone. Us Bitter East Coasters have been known to do the same. Last time around, we waited in an extraordinarily nerdy line at the Virgin Megastore.

ooh i cant wait for snail mail.. i like getting it in my hand day of..

[€uroMeinke]

I was interested to learn how much the publisher is dependent on the book - the announcement caused their stock to shoot up. If this really is the last book perhaps people should be selling.

Potter Midnight Release parties are fun. I couldn't do one the last time, because the frelling thing was released on Disneyland's Birthday weekend. But this time, it's a week later ... and it should be a hoot, with it being the last book and all.



I hated the last one, so I'm kinda meh about the final book. When's the next movie coming out ... that's what I wanna know.

July 13th if I remember correctly

OMG, that will put Disneyland Birthday smack dab in the middle of Mega-PotterMania! Movie premier, Disneyland's First Non-50th in a while, then Book premier!! Oh my!

And NA should have surrepticiously-snapped pictures of naked Harry Potter on her cellphone!

That's a geekgasam waiting to happen.

[Morrigoon]

That's the way it was last time, remember? Wicked, book release, DL birthday, all same weekend.

I think the Boy pre-ordered ours. Hopefully at a location with a good release party (yes, you can and SHOULD pre-order to take part in a book release party) One last time to break out the robes. Well, except for the movies ;)

[wendybeth]

Good lord, that was quite the day. I had to be at the airport by 5:00 a.m., so I had to wait to get my copy at Seatac. Then, I read 1/2 of the book on the way there, and put it away until the flight home. The whole birthday thing is just a blur- I know it was fun, but everything went by so fast I hardly remember any of it.

[Betty]

I head down to the local Stater Bros first thing in the morning. Right around the corner. First time they were out on a table - last year (was it last year or year before?) I simply asked. I think they were even on sale. Grocery store of all places.

[Kevy Baby]

The whole birthday thing is just a blur- I know it was fun, but everything went by so fast I hardly remember any of it.There were fireworks and cupcakes and stuff.

[wendybeth]

Oh, yeah.....cupcakes.....which were okay in the A.M., but got kind of nasty tasting as the day progressed.

Oh, and let us not forget: the mighty jumbotronic screens everywhere, made especially to make the Governator look bigger than he is in real life.
