Two Weeks' Notice

[Gwen]

No not the film (though I did just rent it the other
night), Nimbus - 2003.

Two weeks away. Hard to believe.

We know we owe you information on the Night Bus, and
more. It should be coming shortly. Meanwhile, though
we wanted to send out our packing list reminders and
make a few more announcements:

1. Nimbus - 2003 will be covered on the syndicated
radio show, SciFiOverdrive, this Monday. Check out
their website for a station or webstream near you:

2. The Switchblade Kittens have graciously offered to
do an acoustic concert on Thursday night, after the 
MWPP panel. This girl-punk band is well-known in
California and on the west coast, and will perform
many of their favourites, including the "Ode to Harry
Potter." Kick back and relax or practice your dance
steps for Friday's FictionAlley Birthday Bash. (For
more on the Switchblade Kittens, see their website:

3. Our Quidditch rules are up on the site! There will
be sign-up sheets in the game room when you arrive. Go
to the "Gallery and Games" page on the site:

We can field up to six teams, and they are:
The San Juan Seagulls 
The Orlando Ospreys
The Tampa Toucans 
The Miami Macaws 
The Cape Canaveral Kestrels 
The Pensacola Pelicans 


4. With the time to pack looming, we wanted to provide
a cheat-sheet for your packing list. Be sure to bring
all your stuff, including:
a. Worst HP Merchandise for Thursday night's contest
b. Your casting contest entries (for information on
both these, check out the website:

http://www.hp2003.org/nimbusgallery.html )

c. Your robes 
d. Your wand 
e. Your (stuffed) owl, cat, or toad (Remember, if you
don't have your own Wizard Gear, you can buy some when
you get there!)
f. Your dancing shoes (and a comfortable walking pair)
g. Your thinking caps - the quest will take you
through brain teasers and more
h. Your PJ's for our Double-Feature party
i. A notepad for all the wonderful presentations
you'll attend
j. Your camera or videocam to record the event and
capture your friends at their best (or worst)
k. Your love of the books and your excitement for a
great weekend!
