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)

How many projects have you started that go 100% the way you want.. At the age of 31, I’ve yet to have anything go exactly as planned. I like to think it makes me flexible and the people I work with super talented to be able to adapt to change on the fly. Such has been the case with The Great American Road Trip. We’ve decided to hold off just a little bit to make sure the product is nothing less than stellar. The crew at Abandon Films has been working at a fever pitch to turn this mother out and I’ve been…. I’ve been… A great cheerleader! No flips… but I’ve got one heck of a triple Lutz. (i know that’s ice skating, but I digress.)

The project is coming along really well and the soundtrack for the film is absolutely incredible… more on that very soon.

I’m not sure where the cut off is from being young.. to someone who’s 80 I’m a young buck but to my 11 yr old cousin I’m half dead already. So I guess perspective is key. Just yesterday I officially joined the Council for the Young Professionals of Central Virginia. I’ve been doing some work with the crew for the past few months and they finally let me in. Woot woot! Anyway, tomorrow night (Thursday) is the semi annual intern and new hire event at The Neighbors Place. Since you may be interested in attending… here’s the lowdown:

Connect. Grow. Live.
The last few months have had some big events but June lineup will be the biggest yet. On June 7th at 4PM join this summers new hires and interns for a super hero extravaganza at The Neighbors Place in Wyndhurst. Then at 5:30 all young professionals are invited to join the fun for drink/food specials. Featured drinks like “Kryptonite”, The Dark Knight and “The Sidekick” (it’s Non alcoholic) PLUS Free Appetizers like Spinach Dip and Crawfish dip.

It all begins tomorrow Night at 4PM @ The Neighbors Place – We’ll see you there!

It’s May and you know what that means – Mustache May!!! Tim Grahl has been calling me a woman and on my case to join him in going against the grain of society and good judgment… So here’s to Mustache May and Happy Mustache May 2nd.

A week or so ago Kelly had been tagged by another blogger who asked her 5 questions I commented which also resulted in being asked 5 questions. If you’re up to the challenge, drop a comment on this post and I’ll ask you 5 questions to be answered on your blog of choice.

1. What possessed you to wear a Scottish kilt to your prom?

Great question! It’s a bit of a long story but I’ll try and sum up as much as possible. Senior year was tumultuous and the reigning class officers were being ridiculous when it came to the Prom. My good friend Mike Brown and I thought it would be really cool if we let them know in a “civil disobedience” kind of way that our attire (not dress) was reflective of our thought on the mockery that it became. Our moms were handy with the needle and thread so we asked about making some authentic highland wear. We asked our dates to buy dresses that matched our plaids. It was a really incredible time. The evening also featured waiter style service at the Golden Arches and some great photo ops on the play land. Surprisingly, this was a huge highlight compared to the year before when I started showing signs of Mononucleosis during dinner and by the time the sun came up the next day my neck had swollen to 3 times it’s normal size.

2. What TV show would you like to live in for a year?

This is a tough one. Right off the bat I think Scrubs. I’d definitely want to hang with “Brown Bear” and the rest of the crew but then I think about past shows that I’ve loved. The Hulk, The A-Team and Quantum Leap… To travel the county looking for a cure to my genetic mutation/ evading the authorities, accused of a crime I didn’t commit/ trying to find my way back home while helping people and kicking some serious butt very cool. Or what would it be like to replace Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties?

3. If you had the choice between being stuck with a “sitting bull” mullet or flock of seagulls hairdo for the rest of your life…which would you choose? ( I realize you have already tried the mullet…but….)

I don’t know that I’ve tried the Mullet.. I’d like to think I’ve conquered or mastered it. So I’m opting for the Flock of Seagulls.

4. Wing or breast man?

Is this a question?? Please, a breast man, of course. I’m pretty sure this is the part where I use words like “succulent” and comparisons to when KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken, the days before the Pamela Anderson protests, but I won’t get into all that. We are talking about chicken, right?

5. Would you like to be a guest host for BEST WEEK EVER or SNL?

This is easy, SNL. It’s a dream of mine to walk on to that stage. The greats have been there; Belushi, Martin, Chase, Murray, Farley, Goodman, Walken and Timberlake. To join those ranks would be heavenly, I would compare that feeling to The Red Sox winning the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees. Such joy, such elation. The scary part was I might totally freeze. Once in high school, I got to play baseball on the Hall of Fame Field – it was the worse game of my life. All I could think about was all of my baseball heroes playing on this field for the past 60-some-odd-years. I was overwhelmed and had the worst game of my life.
