Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, only one more sleep to go.

Do we have any member ordered the book or prepare to queue for the book?

Here.

I have it on preorder at a local Borders bookstore, so it looks like I'll be there tonight from 7PM to midnight. I'll see if I can get some good pictures.

Borders is a T-Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot; I'm going to see how much they charge at the door for access.

I'm going to see if I can go pick up a copy of the book this morning.

It took six hours of waiting in line, but I got my copy at 12:47 in the morning. The "line" was actually one huge mob.

Originally I was going to post pictures as I took them, but Borders required that I have a credit card to pay for Wi-Fi service. I'll be posting the launch photos later today.

You still have to queue even though you've ordered? Congratulations!

Yeah, we still had to queue to pick up the book and pay the rest.

I haven't had a chance to read the seventh one yet; the only reason I got it the first day was for the launch party.
