We went to the midnight party for the 7th Harry Potter book. What a madhouse! I had forgotten how difficult it is to move through a store containing 3 times the legal limit of people according to the fire code. Katie, Melissa, and Isaac came with us, as well as Jana and my dad. They arrived with costumes, which meant that Austin would want to dress up too. He found some Zorro dress-up clothes that looked reasonably magical and then he taped his stuffed bird on his arm for good measure. They lined us up before midnight; I was only 300 or 400 people back, but luckily they had 5 checkers open. Quickly calculating (400 people x 2 minute credit card transaction)\ 5 checkers= way too long to wait. We left and went to Walmart, where we grabbed books from a pallet and found a line with 2 people ahead of us. We also discovered the book was $6 cheaper at Walmart. And people wonder why Walmart is taking over the world.
