by the way, now there's only 10 hours, 31 minutes, and 8 seconds left!!! GETTING CLOSER ALL THE TIME

Well Mr. Potter, I am too, very exited for the book, but I sincerely hope your son, Harry, isn't as whiny in this one as in The Order of the Phoenix.

I might head down and pick up a copy tonight... Then again, we have some pretty ugly kids here, and I don't wanna be at at B&N when they come out. Ugly kids scare me.

My wife works at Barnes & Noble and is extremely glad not to be working tonight.

Her store has issued 1500 "bracelets" for customers who pre-ordered the book and 1000 "bracelets" for walk ins.

At midnight all the 1500 pre-orders get to come in and buy the books they have reserved.

After they're done the 1000 walk-ins get to come. Since there is no limit - as far as my wife knows - to how many each walk-in can buy and there are only 1000 copies available, some people are going to wait a very long time only to be turned away.

BJ's or Costco. There'll be plenty of copies and the price will be cheaper.

Went to Costco today for some beverages and they have lots of copies for the taking.

I'll likely get it tomorrow. I know I enjoyed the others so I'll likely like this one, and after reading the other five it seems my duty to finish the series, though the last one was a bit dissapointing. Other than that I haven't given it much thought. Can someone give a recap of the last one? I can't remember at all.

What was your guys favorites?

I'd say 1,3,4,5,2.

My wife sent me a TXT (Greg, that's a cellular phone text message) today saying she bought me a present. When I got home, SHE HAD BOUGHT ME THE BOOK!

Although I'm a guy and therfore not a "ballerina", bieng a ballet dancer is awesome. I'm very athletic, work in a girl-to-guy ratio of 10 to 1, and have lots of time to ride. Also we currently have the world's best tap dancer(Sam Webber) working with us for the summer, he's absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier, thanks for asking.

Also, I have time to make lame jokes, like saying "point in case"... I'm not retarded.

Jeez man, I was just joking (not about the case in point thing, i thought you were serious). I didn't mean to offend you. I thought you were joking, so I just played back. Sorry.
