Who needs filters? I have my magazine!

[amanuensis1]

So I'm reading my friendslist and my own personal spoiler shield is this: I have a magazine in one hand and I'm holding it over the left side of the page as I scroll, allowing the username and pic on each post to be visible on the right. And if I trust the user (and think they're likely to have something interesting to say), then I pull back the magazine and look at the entry. My high-tech is pastede on yay.

Now I'm starting to see things about spoiler spamming to communities. Users like ixchelmala have given us a method to filter out all communities by adding "/?show=p" at the end of your friendslist url (It looks like this: " www.livejournal.com/username/friends/?show=p " ), but I think I'll just call a halt on running my friendslist for now. I'll catch up all the way back on Saturday night or Sunday morning, but I already have 87 open browser windows on which I could catch up and should--eight parts of cluegirl's Umbra Nihil, fabularasa's SG:A ficlet, glockgal's gorgeous interest meme art. Gawd, I haven't even looked at anything on Big Bang, Baby. I'm really behind. (As usual.) So, if anyone wants my attention to something, email or leave a comment.

Oh! I haven't even thought about what I'm going to wear to the release. Probably nothing special. Hmm. Well, I could re-think that. If you see a female at your bookstore dressed in a long blue gown and blue-and-bronze striped socks, masquerading as Rowena Ravenclaw, that might be me. ^_^

Are costumes necessary?!?!

Am I going to look totally stupid if I go to one of these in street clothes?

What actually happens at one of these? I won't be getting a book because my mom pre-ordered for me so will I just be sitting there watching other people read?

They're not necessary; you won't look silly! It's the ones who ARE in costumes who will get the stares as being silly, actually. But that doesn't bother me. Well, not much.

And at the last book's release party, it was pretty much line up, chatter with each other, get your book at midnight, pay for it, go home. So, I dunno if it'll be different this year or if it's different at different bookstores. Mine wasn't really party-oriented.
