To start off the morning we changed hotels again since they finally figured out our rooms. So we're back to where we were supposed to be. YAY.
While we were waiting to check into our rooms, we headed down to the convention centre and registered for Leaky Con. I felt like I was coming home.. It was the most wonderful feeling in the whole world seeing so many people dressed as wizards. What was even better was when we went downtown Portland to Powell's books store there were wizards everywhere. It was like when Voldemort was defeated the first time and everyone was out celebrating. It was fabulous!
Powell's book store
Today was opening ceremonies and they were cool. It was hard to see due to us being in the back but I enjoyed it anyways. The simple fact there were so many people here for Harry Potter was amazing!
We weren't even at the back of the ceremonies!
I checked out the vendor room. Some very cool stuff! Lot's of Harry Potter obviously and some Doctor Who and Sherlock mixed in. Lots of t-shirts but the coolest things I thought were HP themed soaps (that smelled heavenly.. except the Umbridge one.. that just smelled like Evil.. If evil had a scent) The best one was probably the Snape bar, (the soap Snape would use if he used soap...). I think I'll be going back tomorrow and picking some up! I would also love to get some tea, but I can't take looseleaf tea across the border to Canada with me as far as I'm aware. :( But if you are down here at Leaky Con and reading this... get some tea! Try it for me :P It smelled amazing and the testers tasted delicious.
Well I should get some sleep now. I've been trying for the past couple hours but with a headache and a skyping roommate sleep is resisting me :P
I will be out and about at the convention tomorrow dressed as the TARDIS ! :)
