let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress: adventure.

my partner-in-blog and i have lots and lots of shared interests. i love jenn because we can talk about nerdy stuff and giggle about it for hours while sitting in panera bread drinking green tea and doodling on recycled napkins.  but, we're not simply talkers - we're doers! we don't just talk nerd, we attend nerdy events! WIZARD ROCK!

for 2 years running, jenn and i have attended the yule ball at the middle east in cambridge. and yes, it's as awesome as it sounds.  the headlining band are 2 dudes called harry and the potters.  they sing about... you guessed it - harry potter! and voldemort, ron weasley, hermione, viktor krum - all of them and they do it in a really clever, silly way. the show happens every december, at christmas time.  this year the other acts included:

Draco and the Malfoys
the Whomping Willows
MC Kreacher

and guess what else? they serve harry potter themed drinks - my favorite is butterbeer; here's the recipe, and also what i look like after too many butterbeers!

2 ounces vodka
1 ounce butterscotch schnappes
6 ounces cream soda

year one:

and year two:

here's some sample lyrics from "my wizard scar still burns for you."

oh ginny weasley
you're so dreamy

ginny weasley

ron's gonna kill me

so you know that voldemort is

trying to kill me

and i don't want you caught in between

like sirius black

i don't want to lose you

so i can't see you
i don't want to lose you
so you know i can't see you

...but my wizard scar still burns for you...
