So Terminus is just three SHORT weeks away! There's going to be a ton of fun things to do at the conference; great presentations, fabulous events, and loads of laughter for all. Leaky Staff are going to be in attendance and even give presentations. We'll also be in the vendor room, where I hear from very good sources there might even be a LeakyCon item or two for sale!
We'll be giving you a full itinerary of Leaky related activities later in the month, but for now, we wanted to give everyone a heads up on a fabulous event... because we all know how much you love to party!!

Let’s shake the rafters at Terminus, Leaky Con and Wizard Rock style, as we are thrilled to announce a very special dance party to be held next month. Hosted by DJ Paul DeGeorge (of Harry and the Potters), this dance party will take place the weekend of the Terminus 2008 convention in Chicago, Illinois on Friday, August 8th. Held at Reggie’s Southside New Rock Headquarters , 2105 South State Street, musical performances from Wizarding rock groups are due to begin at 10:30pm from The Whomping Willows, Dreary Inferi, The Chocolate Frogs, and Swish and Flick, followed by what is sure to be a magical night of dance party fun. Cost for this event is $15.00 and is strictly 17+, ID required with a limited capacity. Proceeds will help Leaky Con 2009, TLC’s first convention scheduled for next May in Boston, MA, and there will also be a raffle to benefit the Harry Potter Alliance. Transportation is provided to and from the venue for ticket holders starting at 9:45pm, with tickets now available to order via the link at the bottom of this post.
This dance party is part of a Wrock Wreggies event, with a second night of Wizard Rock and Dance to follow on Saturday, August 9 at the same venue. On this night, Wrock fans can enjoy an event hosted by Ashley from The Podcast of Awesome, and enjoy music from bands such as The Moaning Myrtles, Diagon Alley, Catchlove, The Parselmouths, and Lord Voldi and the Dark Marks. The proceeds from Saturday night will go to Steps School in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Designed to help showcase some of the fun we have in store for you at LeakyCon 2009 and offer you a fun evening with your favorite wizard rockers, this is also opportunity to meet with some of the people bringing you Leaky’s upcoming Harry Potter conference. Hope to see you there!

Quality! LOL, I think he was just very lucky. Here's a REAL Trelawney-esque thing. Ann and Nina (of Swishandfilk) wrote THIS filk nearly 18 months before Jo came out and said that George ended up marrying Fred's old girlfriend, Angelina. Now, THAT, was a trip.
That's one of my favorites!!! Love that filk!
