But tonight was my chance to redeem myself and become cool enough to hang out with a 13 year old again, and I think I may have achieved my goal.
At 11pm, Katy and I left our warm beds and comfortable house to go sit in line for 3 hours at Borders so that she too could be one of the cool kids with the new Harry Potter book (ok, granted she absolutely loves Harry and couldn’t care less if anyone else in the world even reads the books!) and so I could be cool enough to hang with her. We prepared ourselves to meet some interesting people (as seen above), and took the plunge. Now, at 2:30am we are home again, but triumphant with book in hand. The following pictures chronicle the joys, pains, and emotional rollercoaster of those three ½ hours:
The sheet of paper they gave us for our place in line says number 22!!! We'll be the 22nd people to get the book!
realizing that '22' actually means we're in the 22nd group of 20 to get in line to buy the book...in other words, there's over 400 people ahead of us, and they won't even let us in the line until 300 of those people are gone from the store!
realizing just how long we're going to be here...
