HARRY POTTER!!!

Okay just a real quick post. Today we went down to Trafalgar Square (where the World Premiere of Harry Potter 7 is tomorrow) just to see if we could get a wristband to get into the area near the red carpet. Without that wristband there was NO WAY we would be able to see anything. But, when we got there the line was hours long and they said they were already out. So we went on our way. We got tickets for Phantom of the Opera (way cheap by the way!) and we went to Buckingham Palace (more on that later). On our way to the show at around 630 we saw a line of people and the guards that were passing out the wristbands. I suggested that we just jump in line even though there was probably no way there were wristbands. We got in line and they were handing out the last few broken ones that they could fix! We got so excited but then when there were just two people in front of us they said we really don't have anymore. NOOO! However, since we went to the blarney stone (remember? gift of gab?) we told them that it was one of the girls in our groups birthday tomorrow (oh p.s. there were four of us). Don't worry. It really is her birthday. He reached into his pocket and gave her one!! People around us were going crazy! Then we proceeded to sweet talk the other guard into giving us three more!! Right after he gave them to us they packed up and got out of there because people were getting real angry! We also scadaddled out of there and headed to our show so happy! So, tomorrow we will be out at the red carpet premiere 4 hours before it starts! WOO WOO!!!

Here are a few pictures: the place where they are setting up for the premiere (we will be in that gated area!), our wristbands, and us at phantom!

  1. Who would have guessed that the toddler that never stopped talking would someday manipulate wristbands for one of the most famous red carpet walks in history?? That is some talent for talk that has been 20 years in the making!! I expect lots of photos!!! Have a fabulous time!!!!!!! Love you!
