I look forward to being able to tell my grandchildren that I met their grandfather at Harry Potter.

SPACEMy friend Michele was an employee at Walden Books and was asked to help out with the midnight sale of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at Deptford Mall. They were putting on skits for the kids waiting in line. Michele asked me to go along. I would have said no but I couldn’t pass up the chance to have an extra 8 hours to read the book. When we got there we found out that Andy the Assistant Manager convinced a whole group of his friends to come too. All of us got dressed up and put on skits to help entertain all the little kids then me and shel hopped in line to get our own books. Afterwards we started talking to Justin and all the guys. We decided to exchange AIM screen names with the guys before Michele and I left to go home to read our books. It’s only a 20 min ride home and by the time I got there I already had three messages on my computer, one from Phil’s name, Scotty P’s name, and Justin’s name. Since Justin was online the most, we chatted a lot over the next couple of days. We planned to hang out a few nights and then he invited us to a BBQ at his house. Michele and I drove up to his house and had a great time. After being there about an hour I pulled out my wallets to show Justin pictures and inside he saw a picture of Fuzz. He said “You know Jonathan Santiago?” At this point my chin was on the floor, what was the chance to meet random people at the mall and have them already know your best friend. Because he knew Fuzz I invited him to the Fuzztival as a surprise to Fuzz, who I might add has his chin on the floor also when Justin walked in. Since then we have been just about inseparable.
