Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

My family decided to visit IRI while on vacation; camping at a KOA about 15 miles away from Lawrence N. High School. Today after dropping our son off to help, we went to get some supplies from a Walmart in Greenfield. They had a pile of H. P. & the Deathly Hallows at 8 am. We picked one up for $17.78.

After last night's IRI talent show, it's nice to have something to entertain us tonight. (Although it will be tough for Harry to compete with FishHead Boy and the Orange Man Group, the Martian's Judges Challenge, love songs and robot themed rock!)

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

I found it entertaining that I couldn't go anywhere without seeing someone carrying it around or reading it.
If someone's going to ignore a robotics competition to read a book, one of two things must be true (or both):
1.) It's a good book.
2.) The person is insane.

*Nodnod*
This was the general opinion of our team, and we had someone with the book, and I'm getting it soon.
Indeed.

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

When ever a team went to go get an award, I would see about 8 HP books averagely, JUST LYING AROUND!!! If you looked around some more, about a third of the students eiter were carrying it around, or was reading it!!! We couldn't get one of our members out of it. Everytime we went to do something, he would try to get back to his book. Once he had his book, communication was impossible.:ahh:

Geek. LOL. Nice job.


Side Bar: There was a spoiler written on the back of the saran wrapped TechnoKat's trailer... unfortunately no one saw it. And I didn't do it, can't/won't remember who.

Fake Edit: After reviewing photograph footage, I do know who it was. :p

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

Keep in mind that my car esploded so i am essentially stuck home till its fixed.... its rather depressing how Dependant we become to our autos

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

That's true... I can't hardly go anywhere without my truck and it's probably 5 of 6 feet under. :mad:

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

We were sitting next to team 1625 and one of the students started to look at the end of his book. As adults, we felt it our responsiblity to chastise the young man. Trying to short cut to the ending of Harry, is like trying to fast forward into the future and finding out who won the IRI without witnessing the fierce, edge-of-your seat final rounds. I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

PS. I hope to buy my copy today. We had to cart the robotic trailer and my husband wasn't too interested in hauling it around to look for bookstores.

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

The last several Harry Potter books haven't exactly been concise. I mean, book 5 made Moby Dick seem downright succinct.

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

I got back from IRI late Saturday and find that my daughter has finished it, and my son has started. Then my wife got it on Sunday, and she finished shortly after midnight (early Monday morning). I'll be next, but first I have to reread #6 because I can't remember enough of it. I know, I should have started my review earlier!

Anyone else have 3 people read your copy in 2 days?

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

I believe I'm the mom of the said student. We were riding home and he said he went to the back of the book to see how many pages there were and someone threw something at him and told him to stop. This story has been told and retold and retold and is now part of 1625 lore. :)

Re: IRI and Harry Potter - What A Combination
 

I've read the end of books ever since forever. This time I did not. I made myself stay in order (it has sort of morphed into: hop around in the book and find all the goody) and I'm glad I was so self-disciplined. I think if I had read the end or hopped around, it would not have worked in this book.

Gary, hurry up and read the book so we can talk about it. :)
