Finally. After signing off at H-minue 15 on Friday night, it was almost time to get in there and get the books. I snagged a couple more pieces of cake and dove into the mass of (literally screaming) kids. As it got closer to 12, the group was getting ready to break into the Bookstore. At 12:01 a.m., when the trivia contest winners got their books, it had reached the level of near-riot. Finally. The doors opened, and an amazingly orderly stream of excited kids, ecstatic Haverford students, and exhausted parents trickled into the Bookstore.
As people were getting the book, I searched the whole store for the perfect photo: a really cute little kid clutching a copy of the book. I had almost given up, when I came across this:
Golden.Picture in hand (or at least on memory card), I put away my camera and got in line. Ten minutes later, I was lying on a couch in the campus center reading. I didn't move for fours hours.

Kudos to you for the picture of the adorable little girl and her book. I would like to have seen a picture of the exhausted, dedicated parent who probably worked all day and stood in line until the wee hours of the morning to purchase the book for his/her child.
Hi Dave, great blog! Me and my sisters were the girls who won the trivia contest and sang the Hogwarts school song (we're huge fans, in case you couldn't tell). I was just wondering if you had any photos of us singing, or, better yet, a movie? I saw someone recording us but I don't know if it was you or not...my email address is veronicafaust@gmail.com, if there's any photos you wouldn't mind sending. Thank you so much!
