Happy birthday to the fabulous primroseburrows! May you have a wonderful day and many, many more! Happy early birthday wishes also go out to eowynmaiar and sally_maria, with hopes that your special days are all that you could wish.

* In other news, Harry and the Potters are currently touring the US and Canada. I can say from personal experience that their concerts are great fun.

* The History News Network gave a nice shout out to John Crowley's fiction Monday in "Novel features historian as main character."

* I've updated my list of favorite links.

Ooh, I'm fabulous! :)

I had a lovely, lazy day with a nice dinner to cap it off. Thanks for the good wishes!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yep: definitely fabulous. :)

Lazy days with good dinners are my kind of birthdays. :) I'm so glad you had a good one!

Oh. My. Gosh...

July 17th, Tuesday
Chicago, IL
Chicago Public Library - Harold Washington Library Center
7:00pm, FREE!
400 South State Street, Chicago, IL 60605
WOW! Our first show with the Chicago Public Library. It should be NUTS! We're playing up in the 9th floor Winter Garden. Don't miss this!

That sounds AMAZING. Damn... Now I'm going to have to make phone calls and figure out logistics and get a catsitter...

Have you been to the Chicago Public Library? Oh. My. Gosh.

I'm serious: if you can go, you really must. Their shows are SO much fun! I saw them in TN and my sister saw them in OK, and we both had ridiculously wonderful times. My fingers are crossed that you'll be able to attend the show!

I regret that I haven't been to the Chicago Public Library. (One of the hazards of being in academia: the only libraries I ever seem to go to these days are college ones.) I can imagine it's quite amazing, though. Perfect for HatP to "Rock the Library"! :)

By the way, have you seen the film The Revengers Tragedy? We just saw it. There are SO MANY reasons to love this film, not the least of which are Christopher Eccleston and Derek Jacobi. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

This is the rooftop space where they are playing: http://pics.livejournal.com/agentxpndble/pic/0011rc24

The outside of the library: http://pics.livejournal.com/agentxpndble/pic/0011s3yc

Of course, the *previous* library space (now the Chicago Cultural Center) *literally* brings me to tears every time I go in it, so the new space isn't that incredible compared to that... But still, OMG SQUEE! The Chicago Library!

I have Revengers Tragedy on the list, but haven't seen it yet - Will bump it up a little higher... :-) And BTW, spoiler girl - DJ is in the next ep of DW. !!!

Thank you very much for the birthday wishes - and sorry it took so long to reply. On the other hand, I got to visit the Alhambra on my birthday, so it was a pretty special day. :-)

Oh wow - that must've been amazing to see! I'm so glad you had a very special day. :)

Sweet! The first Post-Book 7 show is in Buffalo! With Draco and the Malfoys and the Womping Willows!

It's on my anniversary...hmmm...I'm going to have to be really, really nice to my wife for the next month.
