Terminus!
It's been loads of fun so far-but waaay different from Sectus. I mean, Terminus is super fun and all, but pretty much nothing will compare to Sectus, and, you know, ENGLAND.
The first A++ thing I want to comment was the venue we went to last night for a wrock show. Tons of bands playing, most I didn't know. I was somewhat tired during it, though I'm very glad I stayed for the Whomping Willows at the end. BUT. It was, like, a spectularly designed venue! First of all, air circulation! Why can't more clubs be like this? It was actually kind of cold, and they had air blowing through the place. It wasn't too crowded or too loud (though that's prob because it's wizard rock). Whoever designed this also had the genius to make the floor before the stage slope slightly downwards so people in the back could see. There were also plenty of places to sit and chill if you wanted to. And, great set list, DJing; I regret that I was a bit too tired to fully enjoy. Anyway, I'm mostly commenting on this after my experience seeing Harry and the Potters at The Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco a few weeks ago, which was crowded, hot, and not quite as fun an atmosphere as this one.
Another great thing is that a bunch of bands, including more I recognize, are playing tonight. Yay! I just wish it didn't go so late. I missed seeing most of the Wizard Rockumentary this morning cause I accidentally overslept. But it's okay, cause we bought it and we also talked to Megan and Mallory(the directors and producers) afterwards (and got a picture with them, cause hey two sets of twins).
We also went to a few presentations/panel discussions and whatnot, and an R/S meetup. In which Ginny got a great picture of a girl cosplaying Tonks (with the pink hair; the cosplaying possibilities with Tonks legitimize the existence of the character in my mind) next to a sign saying "Remus/Sirius slashers" that some girl had made.
I am currently sitting in a wonderful coffee shop, called Caribou coffee, that is nice and friendly and notStarbucks and has these really wonderful blended fruit teas (which are disgusting at most places that sell thing like that, but not here). I am sad panda that they don't exist at home. Oh, and qualification of statement: the coffee shop and free wireless are great, but not their censoring: apparently afterelton.com is blocked, which is STUPID cause though it's gay-oriented, there is NOTHING approaching porn or non-PGness on it! WTF! And it's not even a generic gay site or anything, it's about queerness in the media, which is a little different. And, and, livejournal and encyclopediadramatica are not blocked, and there's some way worse stuff on there, for sure.
