Wizard Rock? Awesome.

Okay, so over a month without posts is unusual, but I really only post when I have something interesting to say. I don't want this to devolve into a twitter-like blog where everything that happens to me makes it to the interwebs. That being said, something awesome occurred last night.
I went to a rock concert with a friend last night. It was the first time I had seen her since winter break, so it was nice to catch up on stuff. However, that is not the awesome thing I was speaking of. That rock concert I mentioned - not just a rock concert, but a WIZARD rock concert. I had never heard of any of the bands, but went just because of this simple formula.
Wizards = cool
Rock music = cool
Wizards + Rock music = insanely awesomely cool
Yes, that is scientific.
The music was not great in a musical sense. I wouldn't listen to it for any other reason other than that I can go, "Heh, they're singing about the Whomping Willow..."
But, the experience was amazing. People were dressed up, the crowd was excited, and I just got swept away by the enthusiasm. I even got to yell somewhat musically into the microphone!
After the show, I got to take photos with Harry and the Potters, one of the founding bands of Wizard Rock.
Overall, the entire experience was a complete and total WIN.
Woot.
