there's all this hoopla with muari (or is it mauri)
which loads of people want to do, and I wondered if I
was abnormal here.  Or are there others like me?
 

Although Friday night could be a geek's paradise in
the U.S. (Ang Lee's Hulk movie opens that day, one
could catch that film and make it to a bookstore
afterwards), I probably won't be doing either. Most of
the HP release party stuff seems geared towards kids,
and there's only two events in my area that sound even
remotely interesting (Co-op bookstores in Chicago have
a hall at University of Chicago for a party, that
campus is all Gothic style, and looks kind of like
Hogwarts; and Chicago suburb Oak Park is turning a
downtown street into Diagon Alley).  
The mauri hookup in Chicago is in suburban Orland
Park, a southwest suburb, easily 1/2 hour-45 minute
drive to those coming from the city center. when I was
on that website a few days ago, only 5 people had
signed up anyways.
But really, I don't know how interested I would be in
attending some sort of HP event. I may head over to my
local Borders to see if there are any cute kids in
costume (I love watching trick or treaters on
Halloween) but probably wouldent do much else.

decide whether to read OoP very quickly before going
or lug a thick, heavy book overseas...
