Harry Potter and the anti-climax
Seattle. Seriously. Where were you people? I stood outside Elliott Bay Books from 11:30 to 12:30, second in line because the first hundred people who showed up got ushered inside for festivities, got their books, and left. By the time I got in, nothing was happening. No one in line was dressed up--save one or two folks with blankets. People walked past with their books, immediately flipping to the last page.
I'd been expecting an event, which was why I went. I didn't even buy a book--I'm next in line for the one my friend bought. I even wore my favorite outfit, the casual schoolboy look. Maybe I should have gone to one of the corporate stores for that sort of thing; but basically, tonight was a wash.
Let's hope the book is way better than the line.
