let's stumble towards success and pack some snacks for little breaks

OH at the Harry and the Potters show: "Oh, Harry Potter the book series! That's why it's in a library!" >.<

OH at the Harry and the Potters show: "This is the closest to the stage I've ever gotten at a concert!" -50ish guy

OH at the Harry and the Potters show: "I tried to start a game of Quidditch, but that didn't turn out so well." -8-yr-old kid w/ broomstick

They're piping in Mrs. Robinson to a room of ten-year-olds XD

These guys are still fucking awful. I still fucking love them.

They keep addressing us as "SEATTLE" like they're a real rock band. It's adorable.

There's a solemn-faced guy in a leather jacket standing motionless in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by bouncing kids.

How DOES Ollivander stay in business?

hahahahahaha they are actually waaaay better as a screamo band

Think I'd get kicked out if I started a mosh pit?

lol "our biography" lol

They just rhymed "process" with "nauseous"

One of them is playing a bright red saxophone. Badly. It's AWESOME.

"When the reviews come in let it be noted that Harry and the Potters play real music. With emotion. MY WIZARD SCAAAR STILL BURNS FOR YOU!"

Oh my god it's a Smells Like Teen Spirit parody

There's an eleven-year-old crowdsurfing

VOLDEMORT CAN'T STOP! THE ROCK!

Waiting to say hi to the Harrys. There's a guy wearing Ron's pink lacy robes. <3

There's a gang of bored-looking hipsters I'm pretty sure are here ironically.

OH: "Best concert EVER!" -a 5-yr-old

Halfway through the show, they referenced the "enchanted ceiling," which is funny if you know about the downtown library's architecture.

Told the younger Harry I'd seen his name on his mailbox when I worked in the mailroom at Clark.

Was going for school-spirit-based rapport. Pretty sure it just came off as creepy.

How the Dark Lord Stole Christmas

Via metaquotes. (Kat, do not read this after your parents go to bed, because your sporfling will wake them up.)

Happy birthday, Harry. I'm glad the book was released a week after my seventeenth birthday instead of a week before; I finally caught up to you in age, right at the very end.

I suppose it's really over now, isn't it?

I'm rereading The God Eaters (and no, I will never stop pimping it), and I just came across this gem:

Morning hit him between the eyes like a hammer.

This, to me, is utter perfection, writing-wise. It's concise, well-worded, and an excellent use of simile. More importantly, though, I noticed it. I first read this maybe six months ago, and when I came to that part, I thought, "Oh yeah, that line!" It stuck in my mind. That, to me, is good writing. It's also why I love Chuck Palahniuk so dearly- his books are absolutely filled with lines like that, lines that stick in my memory and jump up when my thoughts wander.

BTW, I did start writing my HP6 review, and spent about half an hour on it, but my stepdad logged me out before I'd saved it and it was completely lost. That's what I get for writing in an update box instead of Word, I guess. Anyway, boo hiss, but he makes good pizza so I forgive him.

Saw a baby onesie at Hot Topic today of that Family Guy kid glaring at his mom and saying something like, "Woman, you've been foiling my plans since I escaped from your womb," but I forgot to mention it to Mom when she came back. Le sigh.
