pure joy

I have not been able to stop talking about the next harry potter book. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:

Not only does it go on sale at midnight tomorrow (or Saturday morning, depending how you want to look at it), but there is a whole festival going on that was set up by the publisher. That's right, here in NYC an entire city block is closed down to become DIAGON ALLEY. It is in SOHO on a small brick-paved street, and I'm sure will look quite authentic. For you, my loyal readers, I will take pictures and upload.

After enjoying the festival, I will be picking up my reserved copy the minute it goes on sale. I may even skip going to bars this weekend in order to read. How much of a geek am I?
