Gear up and ship out this weekend for the Southeast Alaska State Fair in Haines. This year the theme is a "May the Fair be with you!", so you might want to pack a lightsaber as well.
Before we get to the 17th "Harry Potter" movie (alright, alright, 6th), I thought I'd share with you what some dude felt compelled to share with everyone sitting near him at Glacier Cinemas the other night: his immediate reaction to each preview before "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" began.

REEL DEAL
Just because.
The fiancee emailed me this clip — Zach Galifianakis on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” from a few years ago:
And then…
Because I was inspired, I found a “Between 2 Ferns” where Zach interviews Co-Co. Enjoy:
Finally, Colts 34, Saints 31. You heard it here first (or maybe not but you just heard it here).
