As a fellow Bostonian, I just had to reply to this.

I just re-checked the Borders web site and the only  event that is 
planned in MA at Borders is in the Framingham/Natick Store.  They are 
going to turn it into the Great Hall (I want to go, but I'll be about 
25 miles down The Pike working!!)

here's the link to the leaky cauldron, which will send you to the 
description of the events nation-wide.

It sounds like the best of all of the events so far (well, I'm 
predjudice).  I don't know if B&N is doing anthing though.

ON a side note, there was a book fair at the kids' school tonight 
sponsored by Scholastic, and I they had quite a few OoTP hats there.
They were black with gold writing, "Harry Potter and the Order of the 
Pheonix" written accross the front.  I didn't get to see the back 
though.  Well, If we hadn't already pre-ordered through amazon, I 
probably would have ordered it, although I don't think I could have 
lived with my extremely impatient 12 year old until the book arrived, 
sometime after the 21 st.

Anna . . .(who's sorry she told her 10 year old daughter she could 
bring three freinds to her dance recital rehersal tomorrow nite! WHAT 
was I Thinking?!?)
