Pot-Heads?

Yes, yes. I'm a little late finding out about it, but there was a Harry Potter convention back on August 2nd. Doesn't do me much good as it's over-seas in Britain. More than 200 fans from 25 countries came to this thing. So I suppose that says something about my degree of obsession with the book. More accurately, however, it says something about my pocket book.

Shamefully, I do not own the latest Potter installment. Nor do I have it's predecessor, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Although if I'm patient, I can have these two plus the final installment and be able to read them all in one great, big satisfying marathon.

It so very fitting to have the convention in England. Like how they have the Anne Rice Vampire/Halloween party in New Orleans. But I imagine there'll be some here in the states before long.(If there aren't already and I simply don't know about them)

I've often entertained the idea of being able to go to England. I think it would be too cool to spend a week or 2 out there.

Speaking of British Authors and young adult fiction... I MUST get my hands on Arabat, Clive Barker's new young adult fiction series. I've seen it at the library, but I kept telling myself I'd buy it. But, alas-- I keep hoping and waiting for a day when I'll have money for it, but that day seems to keep getting further and further away.

"When I get a little money, I buy books. And if there's any left over I buy food and clothes."

Well said!
