Jun. 21st, 2003 02:31 amso, my computer si on the blink again, and I'm fairly useless at tonight's con meeting, and there is TV mention of the harry potter parties at b/n in the plaza...where STeph says she will meet me.
me, lacking a pre-ordered copy, decides to go hang. it'll be fun. I garg myself up a little-no wings or feet, so I'm really just a wolf girl-
and take my just-finished phoenix gate with me to show off. it seems fitting- phoenix gate, order of the phoenix. need to write that as a crossover fic, or a spoof- Harry potter and the order of the phoenix gate...anyhoo.
so, i don't bother getting in line, 'cause I figure I can get tje book tomorrow if there is any left, or borrow it from someone, there will sure be enough copies flaoting around. SO I'm sitting, reading an old mercedes lackey book, and store-lady squats down in front of me and asks for my name for the costume contest- "there's a prize".
so, not 10 minutes later, "Lynati" is hailed and I go claim my reward.
a gift certificater (turns out for 25 bucks, no less!) and first place in line.
'doesn't matter that I didn't have a ticket, or a pre-order whatnot, I get to buy the very first Harry potter five that wsold in that store tonight.
tho the camera guy filiming me over my shoulder made me nervous.
proof, thus, that cosplay and cos'ing it up RULES.
oh, and there was a little tale of my teacher gropign my bronze demmie, and today making a comment that it proves exactly how well this process is done, and I am happy.
oh, and my first impressions of the book-
"oh my god, this is just liek amazingly well-written fanfiction!!"
and steph bows out to aaron on the arabella figg thing, which she did not beleive. prior to seeing page two of the new book, anyway.
