It was a great experience to see thousands of parents and their children lined up to get their copies of the last book of the Harry
Potter series "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
I volunteered to help out the store at princeton marketfair mall. I was one of the people assigned to keep the lines organized. I found out that there was a group of young men who started lining up at 9 am in the morning of july 20th. they were 11 hours early and the store security had to kicked them out. there was a booth for potion recipes, face painting, custom contest, trivias, etc.
chinky and correne came later after watching the movie "hairspray". they enjoyed the movie and was surprised to see the sea of people. chinky stayed for awhile to watch the activities but left around 10:30 pm. correne was all over the place joining a couple of contest and had her face painted a couple of times.
the crowd rouser had the people count down the start of the harry potter sale. it was a riot! just like a new year's count down. correne and myself was assigned to help out directing the customers to the cashiers. correne was so patient and enjoying the reactions of the people coming in.
we stayed till 1:30 am when the last customer got served then i bought the book for my little girl.
thank you debi, jeff and robin (b&n princeton marketfair).
