Happy Birthday, Harry and Jo; Harry and the Potters playing tonight

Happy birthday to Harry Potter and Jo Rowling, with thanks for all the fun you've given us.

And hey, we've got a terrific way to celebrate. Harry and the Potters are here in Minneapolis and playing tonight at the Triple Rock Social Club (629 Cedar Avenue South, Minneapolis). Tickets are $12 at the door (and I would have only had to pay $10 if I'd been sufficiently organized to get them in advance, but noooooooo.) Doors open at 5:00 p.m.

Hurrah!

Here's some great Harry Potter news for his birthday: they're going to publish The Tales of Beedle the Bard! Coming next December.

State of things

Harry and the Potters concert - awesome

Eyes - stinging. Must replace contact lens

Ears - ringing. I bought ear plugs. And wore them. But still enjoyed the music hugely. Yes, I'm old. Bite me.

Body - bone-weary exhausted

Mind - happy
