Local gatherings on DH release eve....

cagedcactus · 17-07-2007, 10:42

I was wondering if we can find out where are the book release parties are going to be.
If a current member here is going to a local party, maybe we can meet and share views and have fun at the gethering.

I live in Metro Detroit, Michigan. If some one from the area is planning to attend a gathering, and want to go together, it would be thrilling.

Maybe other area members can also post and find out who is going where.

thanks

I also started a poll. Let us see how many people are attending the eve parties.....

Well, I voted yes, but that is a little deceiving. I am going to sign up, but not staying for the kiddie activities. When HBP was released I went to the Barnes & Noble release party, and I won some cool things, but I ended up giving them all away to people that I knew and their children. This time I am not going to stress over the crowd, (and all the overly excited children.) I will go at 7:00, (if the line is not too long,) and sign up. You get in line by the color band you get which depends on what time you got in the ****ing line. If the line is too long, I will wait until Saturday morning to get my books.

Well i picked the last one because in Australia it goes on sale a 9:01am which is 12:01am in England so because our midnight comes first we have to wait until Englands midnight which i dont mind at all but it means we miss out on any midnight parties

but i am glad that we dont have to wait like the west coast of America, i feel sorry for you guys over there...

I'll be at local B&N with DD7 until 9:30-ish, when her daddy will take her home to bed (showing up at 4:00 to get wristband, and coming back around 6:30 for the party). Then, I'll stay and watch the games, etc. Get the book at midnight and go home to read. I'll read until I finish!!!! Yea, me!

I'll be sleeping, patiently waiting for Fed-Ex or UPS to roll up Saturday morning and hand me our books. I'd love to join the festivities, but my wife works evenings and we have a 2 year old, so it just ain't gonna happen.

I'm going to be attending the midnight party at Chapters. It's not really for the party but just because it's the only place I can get the book at 12am. As soon as I get the book... im going straight home and reading!

kashlie · 17-07-2007, 19:56

we get the book at 9am, but a friend and i will be at the book shop by 6am...seeing as how it is the middle of winter here, that will be a pretty good effort.

i have decided against wearing my weird sisters t-shirt, but may throw on my travelling cloak for extra warmth.

i will wake quite early (as in australia i can get the book at 9.01am) at 8ish i will walk about ten stores down to the angus and robertson (living in the city is bliss!) and wait for the book, im not really sure if a huge line will be there, i asked and the woman said to expect one but i think more ordered from borders, the second i get the book i will run back to my apartment and read till i finish. i get a sick feeling in my stomach whenever i realise its so close!

I will be at Barnes and Noble around 10:30. My kids (all teens) and my sister will be joining me. I will be wearing my Deathly Hallows T-shirt!
