it was tiring. but it was well worth it. waking up at 2:30am just to report to work for the release of harry potter. it was exciting, nerve wrecking. haha. when i reached borders at 4:15am, the queue was only towards the end of the periodicals glass wall. by 6:30, it nearly snaked towards the back of wheelock. that was only on the outside. on the inside, queues were the longest i've seen them. they were non-stop until about 10plus. but that slight rest only lasted for about 10minutes before the queue started to build up again.

it was also frustrating to ask customers which copy they pre-ordered or which one they would like to get. there's UK kids, UK adult and US. both UK copies were sold at 48.05$. while the US was sold at 62.95$. and the special editions were at $117++ and $125++ each. seesh. so far, i've noticed that the UK adult is selling well. but i got the UK kids instead. nicer cover. ;)

on the costumes side of things, we had ala-project runway style. people with costumes on can participate. so far only witches costumes. so sal, if you had lined up, you might be the only dementor in line. hahahahahahha.

all in all i had a great day. my first and last harry potter book release. the excitement and hype paid off. under all the tiredness, i feel lucky to have been part of the event. :)

and i couldn't stop saying hoot hoot yesterday. i'll show a picture of hoot hoot soon. ;)
