timerippleI've kind of been failing to update regularly, even with Ovid fixed and with his webcam mysteriously working again. You know how it is. You intend to write thoughtful, entertaining posts, and then you get distracted by your co-workers lending you Dr Who and gay romance novels about demons and cops who fight crime together (adorably) and the next thing you know, that Wizard Rock Smackdown was two weeks ago, wtf.
The Wizard Rock Smackdown was at night inHarvard Hogwarts Square. I went to see the final movie that afternoon to get in the proper mood, and sobbed through most of it (though what actually set me off was the trailer for War Horse. I started crying and kind of just... didn’t stop).
Ahem.
HARRY AND THE POTTERS! DRACO AND THE MALFOYS! Some guy calling himself MC KREACHER who rapped about cleanliness and intruders in the house. “DON’T TOUCH THAT!” XD I insisted on dragging one or two of my co-workers along. I bought a “Save Ginny” t-shirt, and the rain held off until the very end of the Harry and the Potters set (they were last). The stage was set up right on Brattle Street, and it was such fun being utter, utter dorks with everyone. I remember Harry and the Potters from The Witching Hour (how was that FIVE YEARS AGO?) but had never seen Draco and the Malfoys before, though I have one of their CDs. I was most pleased that they sang “99 Death Eaters”. The lead singer/guitarist was super into the whole rock thing... and the drummer was the cutest, flailiest little glasses-wearing dude you could wish for. XD And of course Harry and the Potters had everyone jumping around and singing along.
All in all it was a wonderful evening of unabashed dorkery. I promptly felt terribly nostalgic and consumed most of the third book while on reg the next evening (shhh don't tell!).
I also enjoyed horrifying my non-Potterhead co-workers with my new t-shirt the next day. XD
