never go to a midnight book release..., i was at the 'harry potter get together' Options

[iSsUeS636]

i was at the 'harry potter get together' thing from 8:30 eastern time the night of the 6th book release. put my name on the list so i would be one of the first to get my copy. anyways, time goes by. i'm sitting there reading some skate books, listening to the music in the back. finally it's 11:30. "#1-50 get on line." 2 minutes later. "#51-100 get on line." so i get on line because i'm #72. waiting for 12:00. 11:40. 11:45. 11:50. lights go out. music stops. "we are very sorry for the inconvenience but we've been told by the cops we must evacuate the building." apparently there was some kind of power outage in that town, and they had to evacuate the building. i had to go all the way to another town that had borders, where they sent EVERYONE from that store to. spent 45 minutes driving to this other town, and then we had to wait for everyone from where we were now to get their books, before we got ours. i didn't get my book until around 2:00 when i would have had it at 12:10.

it was in the paper the next day, that the borders i was at didn't have the permission to keep the store open that late. the cops that were there were shutting the store down because of this. who knows why the hell they waited until 5 minutes before, but the cops shut it down intentionally, which is why the "power outage" seemed so fake.

wow thats soo incredibly dumb. i was in an airport on my way back from mexico on the 16th, and saw the hp book at the airplane bookstore, so i went there and bought the book. i ran through the airport screaming and hyperventilating. it was awesome.
