I know that many of my entries are named after hot beverages. That's because I love them.
Today was Octoberfest in Harvard Square. It sounds kind of boring, so I hadn't prepared myself for much, but when I came out of the T after church I hardly recognized my familiar square. There were booths sqeezed into every available square foot of the surrounding streets, snooty businesses shared space with young artists and ethnic food vendors. It made me so happy to see everyone outside in the sunshine. And I got free ice cream. In Harvard Square! It was amazing! And to top it all off, as I fought my way through the crowds trying to get across the square I recognized the music that was going on, or the words at least-- they were singing about house elves. I guess it's a sign of my geekiness that I know who Harry and the Potters are. But there they were, playing on the big stage in Harvard Square. They're not good, but they're hilarious. Voldemort can't stop the rock!

"We just played an amazing show in Worcester where everyone danced so hard you could have sworn that we had put them under the imperius curse"
Go Potter mania!
Three cheers for free ice cream in Harvard Square!
