ConFluence Confirmed

[filkertom]

It is official: I will be at ConFluence in Pittsburgh. However, I won't be getting there until Saturday afternoon. Friday-into-Saturday midnight, after all, is HBP Day....

So, how and when are you getting HBP, and how soon do you think you'll read it? (As I mention in comments, I'm picking it up Friday night, and I'm also getting the book on CD so I can listen to it to and from ConFluence. I hope to have it finished by the time I get home Sunday.)

...utter dork that I am, I ordered my copy of HBP from Amazon UK. Nifty "adult edition" cover, and bonus authenticity squee.

Of course, I may wind up having to wait an extra week or so, but hey, I wouldn't be a good Slytherin if I couldn't be patient about some things, right?

Hey. Not only am I getting the book that night, I'm getting the book on CD, so I can "read" it while driving to Pittsburgh. Go Gryffindor, but gimme the damn book.

Hey, nothing wrong with being gung-ho. I'm just terrified over what she's gonna do to my favorite characters...


...and I wish I had my UK-edition audio of the first book (Stephen Fry, it just doesn't get much cooler, I love my used book store) on CD instead of cassette. I'd love to be able to listen to it while I run my shabby little errands today.

Be jealous, then. B-D That's the only version on audio of any of the books that I own.

I used to have the US-edition audio of the second on CD... I've got it on mp3 on my hard drive but I'm not sure where the actual discs have gotten to. So tempting to break down and order the rest from Amazon UK (which gets a startling amount of business from me ever since I got my multiregion DVD player) but there are pesky things like food and kitty litter and Valium and Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Limited Edition blends (because ZOMG Springtime in Arkham, even if Yog-Sothoth smelled like laundry detergent and Mi-Go Brain Canister like fruit salad), and I still don't have all the audio versions of A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, and I really am a horrifically materialistic creature in some ways, aren't I?

I haven't even gotten a "50 Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At Hogwarts" or "You Might Be A Pureblood If" shirt from my own damn CafePress shop.
