Of pointy hats and horned rimmed glasses/random family hilarity
Hi. *waves*
Still have to do part 3 of 5 of my Recs List of Doom. Not tonight, though. Tonight, I tell you of my plans for Lumos, and my brother's thoughts on the subject...
So. Lumos. I have been working out a way to try to have someone who is both familiar with Vegas and traveling to connect with getting me to there this summer. I have finally confirmed, tonight, that I will be going to Vegas with my little brother. His reason for agreeing? The World Championship of Poker begins the same week. Even though he's to be back in Vegas 3 weeks later, for a friend's wedding. Conversation went a little like this:
Little Brother: So, this Harry Potter thing? How does it work? I mean, basically, you get up in the morning, put on your pointy hat with stars on it, and your horn-rimmed glasses, and I drop you off, and then I don't have to see you for the rest of the day?
DJIN7: HAHAHAH! Yeah, basically. *snicker*
LB: *whew* Good. So I'll gamble and watch poker, then come get you much, much later?
DJIN7: *still howling with laughter at the pointy hat comment* Yeah.
LB: You wouldn't BELIEVE the laughter I get when I tell this story.I've been telling everybody
DJIN7: Tell...what story?
LB: You know, YOU going to a HARRY POTTER CONVENTION. It's top shelf. Everybody is so SHOCKED when I tell them that.
DJIN7: Shocked? Why is that?
LB: Well, they can't reconcile the *pre-computer* image you have (largely thanks to my unending stories about your youth) and going to a nerd convention. Even Barrett (friend who's to be married in Vegas), who is as slow as they come, looks at me when I say it, and goes, "I don't understand how grown-ups can like that."
DJIN7: Heh. More 'grown-ups' read Harry Potter than kids now, I'd wager. Also, dude - I WRITE HARRY POTTER PORN.
LB: PORN?! You didn't tell me that. I don't know if that makes the story better or worse. *snicker* Usually I just say that you take a character that's mentioned on half a page in the Harry Potter books then proceed to write a 600 page novel about them.
DJIN7: Well..that part is true. But usually I involve some kind of sex or torture while I'm at it.
LB:...
DJIN7: You gonna rent a car?
LB: Hell yeah. You'd be none too happy if I didn't. The desert in July, you know.
DJIN7: *whew* Thanks, kid.
And so there you have it, my little brother. I'm thinking of bringing along a friend's witch's hat just to fuck him up on the first morning. Maybe wear it out to dinner. Poor bastard won't know what hit him. *plots*
Bwahahah.
Cheers!
