cells-the new lighters

I went to my very first concert on July 31st. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first but once I was there it was great. Shell did such a fantastic job of throwing it all together (there were many a person and it was all very comfortable). I met a bunch new and wonderful people! Oh yeah, the band...the venue was usana which is outdoors and I loved it. It was great to have a nice and open space to hang out and listen to some rockin bands. Four bands played, they were all good. There was "Single File" "Muse"

Phoenix

The wait was excruciating. We counted down for what seemed like ages. The tickets were bought days after they were released. Finally our day had arrived! Aim, Drea, and I could hardly contain our excitement. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix here we come! We were so glad we went with the reserved seating-it was fantastic! It was great! The three of us really enjoyed ourselves. We opted for the 3-D version; such a good choice for the fist time going. It was crazy! The characters were in your personal space, things were falling all around you, it seemed like it was 10x more real. (It was weird to go and see the difference a second time at a "normal " theater). Needless to say we weren't disappointed.

muggles know how to party!

On the magical evening of the 20th of July I set out with some of my friends to a lovely little street that was transformed into a bustling Harry Potter heaven. Drea, Erin, Aim, Ty and I were overwhelmed with things to do...wands, face painting, fortune telling, sorting, the works. We met so many wonderful people. I loved meeting a beautiful owl (but I can't for the life of me think of his name). It was a the funnest way to pass the time. We each got sorted into houses...Drea-Huffelpuff, Erin-Gryffindor, her hubby Ryan-Syltherin, Myself-Syltherin :( , Aim-Sytherin, Ty-Syltherin. I have to give a shout out to all the Kings English staff, they did the most incredible job! They were so efficient, even though we were quite a ways down the line we still got our books no later than 12:10. It was great!
