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.

Perhaps more importantly… only hours ’til “New Moon.” Here in Juneau, in fact, they’re doing the ole’ double-feature. “Twilight” at 9:30 tonight followed immediately by “New Moon.”
Get excited, people. [...]
