Drinkalong Announcement!

Thanks to everyone who voted for when to hold the Goblet of Fire drinkalong.  The majority of you chose THIS FRIDAY, May 10th.  There were also a surprising number of you that wrote in, asking that we just do these weekly til we’re done.

I’d originally thought no one would want to do these every week, but it looks like I was wrong.

PLUS, if we do it weekly we can wrap everything up the first week in June, which will leave us free to watch Blues Brothers for my birthday weekend instead of DH2 (best news ever).

SO!  The new schedule is:

Goblet of Fire May 10

Order of the Phoenix May 17

Half-Blood Prince May 24

Deathly Hallows pt 1 May 31

Deathly Hallows pt 2 June 7

(links lead to countdown timers for each)

Tweetchat appears to be down for good, which gives me a sad.  Does anyone else know of another twitter app that automatically enters the hashtag?  Last week I had to follow the conversation on TweetDeck and paste the tag in (which was doable, but only just – especially at the end).

See you all this Friday at 10:15 EDT!

Harry Potter Drinkalong the Second (take two!)

Let’s try this again, shall we?

Bring your best Chamber of Secrets snarky comments and memes, and I’ll see you all tonight!

(FYI, if you ONLY drink when “blood” is written or spoken, you’ll still be pretty trashed before the movie is over.  I speak from experience.)

Drinkalong Democracy!

Yay, you guys voted!  The overwhelming majority decided to have the Chamber of Secrets (take 2) drinkalong this Friday, April 26, and keep Prisoner of Azkaban on May 3rd.  Two drinkalongs two weeks in a row, then after that, we’ll go back to every other week (I guess unless you all decide you want this to be a weekly thing for the Harry Potter movies til we’re done, but I’ll leave that up to you).

I could try to pad this post out, but I’m tired and lazy and my kids are wanting me to actually DO things with them so I’ll just leave this countdown timer here and hope to see you Friday!

 

Harry Potter Drinkalong the Second

I already told you guys that Jeremy requested to not remember this movie, right?  I kept that in mind and went to my friends from the former diagonally.org to come up with some REALLY REALLY GOOD RULES this time (keeping in mind that you’re at home and not sitting in front of us, so there’s ZERO PEER PRESSURE to drink for each one, just pick and choose, ‘kay?), so I’d like to thank Sarah, Megan and MT for coming to my aid when I needed HP geeks the most.

Harry Potter Drinkalong the First

I think too many of you were far too serious about these rules.  I’ve gathered most, but please don’t feel obligated to drink for all of them.

I’m adding a personal rule where I’m drinking every time I feel like punching Hagrid.  What?
