Don't get Rob started, he already said he wants people to do Time Warp if there's anytime that everyone's together for karaoke.  Yeah, dunno if I spelled that right or not.

I thought about you guys last night while I was out catching owls.  One of the guys had an owl in photographer grip (holding its feet) and was moving his hand around so it looked like the owl was dancing, and he was singing Time Warp while he did it.  :D

Owl torment.  I do not approve.  I assume this was a little owl and not one of those big ones that looks like it can glare you to death.

And yes, I'm excited!  Because of the responsibilities of the horses and the dogs and the farm, I haven't been able to go to anything at all for... gosh, I dunno, must be over 5 years now.  I've taken a couple of day trips, but never for anything fun.  I'm totally looking forward to this.  Of course, I will be driving home each night, but it's only an hour or so... if Hampton tunnel behaves.

I have, however, stopped dancing.  It wasn't pretty.  Children were crying.

Thanks!  That's me + VandalGryphon, btw.  He will have read ALL the books by then, dammit.  *glares at Gryph*

hmmm...*ponders horde*  

Could we call it a "team," maybe?  It's still a horde but people seem to be okay with cheering on a horde that's called a "team."  

P.S. I would make "Team Harry" shirts, but people would no doubt get confused...well, that and I'm still wearing my "Team Mondo" shirt.

Yeah, it was a saw-whet.  One of the little guys.  Don't worry, the owls got their revenge.  I was about the only person there who wasn't bleeding by the end of the night.


I can't dance either.  Maybe if Kali and I dance at the same time, peoples' eyes will start to bleed.

Could we be a scrum?  A host?  A legion?  A multitude?  A swarm?  A drove?  A thronging concourse?

I like "horde."

Concourse just makes me think Monty Python...

I'll be at the dinner if there's room.  Dunno who that Jim guy is, though.  Hope he doesn't spend the whole time yakking.

Also, I'd like to put forward "scourge".  O:>

The correct group noun for a group of Butcher fans is a "snarking".
