I Open at the Close

My weekend was an all-consuming Harry Potter Mega-Fest.

11:00pm Friday Night - Arrive at Borders, can't believe it really is this packed.
Get in line to get my number for buying the book - I am 661.

11:10pm Friday Night - Continue making my way to the back of the store, trying to find the end of the coffee line.

11:15pm Friday Night - Get in line for coffee; chit chat with the girls behind me.

11:55pm Friday Night - Girls offer me their extra number - 144, which is 500 people ahead of me. I glady accept.

12:15am Saturday Morning - Arrive at the coffee counter, order a Cocoa Trio. Realize that they are serving Butterbeer. Yell for barista and ask, oh so sweetly, if he would mind making me a Butterbeer instead. This causes mass confusion, but I do get my butter beer.

12:20am Saturday Morning - get into the third line of the night. This time it's to actually buy my book.

12:30am Saturday Morning - I am the proud owner of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
