Big Two-Week Notice Post!
hp_la ’s Book Release Party for The Tales of Beedle the Bard is 12 days away!!!
Here is a lot of bullet points with lots of information in them:
- That weekend we are competing with a big Borders store opening not far away. Ouch. Actually - I believe it is just a new store opening and has nothing to do with Beedle. But - this might cut into attendance by the public, so a BIG hp_la showing would be REALLY IMPORTANT!
- We will be having wizard bingo (WINKY!), an HP crossword puzzle (that is pretty awesome even if I created it myself), and a word search for the start of the party - then our own The Purebloods will have a concert!
- We have a few prizes already donated to the cause - but if you have some HP merch that you would like to donate out of the goodness of your heart - let me know!
- Costumes will be VERY wonderful - but if you wish just to do muggle attire, go for it. The most important thing is to have you there.
- Remember bring the kidlets! In costume if possible! Or just in clean clothes - I’m really ok with either one! :D
The address is again:
Maple Street Children's Bookshop
7529 Maple Street
New Orleans, LA 70118
(504) 861-2105 - if you care to pre-order the book
Date/Time: December 6th 11am to 12:30pm
I did a drive-by this weekend. The shop is a converted cottage - so very small and cute. BUT, this also means - no parking lot, narrow street, and street parking. So bring good walking shoes and be prepared to walk a few blocks to the store. And if you could manage to carpool; you would be in even better shape.
If anyone needs additional information/directions/etc, comment on this post or email me at eliand504 at gmail dot com. Feel free to pimp this out amongst any communities/sites/resources that you have - or contact me and tell me who to talk to and I’ll take care of it myself. :D
