Tonight Dungeon Masters, Blue Elves from some foreign land and other nerds across the country will be leaving their parents basement to wait in line to get the latest installment of JK Rowlings Harry Potter series.

The fun part is that I’ll be there too.

Having left my parents basement not too long ago and just recently quitting my paper route means a lt of life change but Harry Potter is something that I can let go of. I won’t be traveling by myself though, I talked some friends into accompanying me. (only one admits enjoying the books, thanks Shanna)

In all seriousness, I think its a great thing when kids are encouraged to dream, use their imaginations, and all that great kids stuff. Because they are kids and this is what kids do. I do, however, think it’s scary when 35 year old men feel the need to dress up as the someone from a different galaxy.

So yes, I’ll be in line and if you’re there too, say “hello” just leave the costume at home (unless your a kid).

I was sent this great article about what the world is wondering about the last installment. (Thanks Steve)
