Why....you're just an old softy at heart, aren't you? The arts and 
crafts activity just dispelled my image of you clanking around 
Malfoy Manor in your pirate outfit. What's the world coming to, 
anyway?

I've been pestering the Barnes in Noble in Midland, Texas myself. 
Found out armbands will be available at 9am sharp on Friday morning. 
Now, do I dig up an HP costume for the release? A robe might come in 
handy for a good elbow or a hip check while getting in line, hehehe.

Jen, who promises to be on good behavior and not ruin it for the 
little people, although she fully expects *they* will be elbowing 
her out of the way instead of vice-versa.
