Kewl! Remember when "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" was considered
funny? That was before, in essence, it came true. Maybe I'm reading too
much into this, but can you get away with that sort of costume today in
America's Heartland?

Mine rejected any suggestion of SCA garb, and went out in a rather
stunning Harry Potter ensemble, complete with lightning scar, glasses,
black robes and conical wizard's cap, broomstick, and Hogwarts Quidditch
jersey. The best thing was anybody who realized who he was supposed to
be (roughly ninety percent of the population of the city) knew that my
wife and myself, in ordinary street clothes, were Muggles. (Read the
books, okay?)

Of course, we were probably in a relative safe haven ourselves; there's
talk in some other parts of the country of banning the Harry Potter
books, because (get this!) they promote witchcraft, Satanism, and
disrespect for authority figures -- the biggest threat to Western
civilization since Pokemon...;  )
