*sigh* i'm not going to leakycon. but for the first time, i'm going to a Harry Potter midnight premiere and dressing up as tonks like I did for Halloween two years ago, and I'm pretty excited for that!! My friends' birthday is in July, and she's having her party as the midnight release of Harry Potter, and then a sleepover! so i'm not too down for not being able to go to leakycon :)

@mandereeze3 That sounds like such a fun party!

Karen, this is the BEST prep video, ever. I love it. I can't wait till I can see you!!! Epic times await, my dear friend. Epic times await.

[xperpetualmotion]

@eeks1120 I can't wait to see you either!!

I've got a couple suggestions to get the most out of yours (and my) con going experience:

1. Good shoes. Your feet will thank you for it!

2. Forget about being self conscience. Strike up conversations with strangers in lines. High five fellow house members. Dance like a goober at the ball/wrock shows. If you do so, you will leave with no regrets.

3. Lastly, get tons of video footage and upload it to youtube so I can live vicariously through you. ;D

@Hufflebeth Good suggestions!

I wasn't able to watch this video until today because I don't bear that I couldn't be there.

[RCBeiler]

Oh man, I wish I had seen this before the con. The wizard rock thing would have been the best advice to me (although I still LOVED LOVED LOVED them all)

[nmorgyn]

But Colin Creevey IS my favourite character!... I just feel so empty inside!

I love the kinetic typography that you made for leakycon :)

[Chrisopia]

I didn't even know Harry Potter did conferences? - But I have been to Lacock abbey in Somerset where many of the Hogwarts scenes are set... and my friend did print some of the itineraries for the first movie... Not long til the next movie anyway... oooo

[onenerdyhipster]

LeakyCon is going to be my first conference! I'm so excited! :)

[siriusismyhero]

Karen, you just made me THAT MUCH MORE EXCITED FOR LEAKYCON. I am currently flailing. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Can't wait to see you in 18 days! :O

[ragja]

Great video, Karen! LeakyCon will be my first con ever, and I'll be coming all the way from Norway together with my sister! We're both super excited, it's getting so close now! :D
