My eldest has a harry potter themed bday for his 6th.
All the guests had witches hats, I bought a lot of halloween decorations which worked really well and was cheap.
For games we had pin the wand on harry, floating doughnuts (doughnuts tied with fishing wire, the kids had to eat them without using their hands) and a snitch pinata.
I thought about getting a magician but left it too late.
His favourite was his cake though

If you google Harry Potter parties you will find heaps of ideas as there are a lot of blogs where people have done HP parties.
We were thinking of doing one for my DD but now she wants an outdoor movie party. We are going to do:
Paint an old sheet to look like bricks and put a slit in it at the entrance so they can run through like platform 9 3/4
Sorting hat - put a some sort of ipod or MP3 inside it with pre-recorded decisions for which house they will be in (or you could have this secretly in your pocket)
Wands - kids pick a wand (piece of dowel) and decorate it at start of party
Quidditch - pool noodles to act as goals. Teams trying to get the ball through the goals while one person from each team searches the area for the golden snitch (yellow ball hidden)

I did a HP party for my eldest boy who turned 5 this year. I got these fab invites off etsy and printed them off at home on the printer. Everyone said how great they were and they were really cheap to do.
We had the party at a mini railway so the tickets tied in with the theme.
For the party bags, I got wizard glasses, chocolate frogs from Haighs and made a frog card with my son's face on it to go with the choc frog. I melted down crayons and molded them into an owl shape attached them to a small notepad. You can buy them already done though from etsy. Lastly I put a handful of jelly beans into a pouch.
I also had a fab cake made of a spell book with wizards hat.
You can also find some party kits on ebay.
Hope that helps.

My DD had a HP party for her 10th last year. She is obsessed. Etsy had some great downloadable printables. We had Chocolate Frog boxes complete with Wizarding Cards (they were fun to fold!), signs for Platform 9 3/4 (I made the brick wall out of calico & stamped the bricks with a car sponge, cut it down the centre & hung it at the entrance) & Honeydukes Lollyshop for the lolly buffet (licorice wands, Golden Snitches - Ferrero Rochers with translucent wings made from laminate offcuts, Warhead lollipops for Acid Pops, Red Clouds for Fizzing Wizzbees, Lemon Sherbets, Sour worms for Jelly Slugs). Invitations were home made with a free downloaded Harry Potter font on parchment coloured paper in the form of their Hogwart's letter & including their Hogwarts Express ticket (also downloaded off Etsy). I also printed the Hogwarts & House crests, backed them with black cardboard & put them around the house. Balloons were in House colour bunches. I made Butterbeer from brown creaming soda & icecream. It was a lot of work but because I did it all myself it wasn't very expensive. It was great fun.

Film, Television, and Theatre Icon Christopher Walken Cast as Captain Hook in NBC's PETER PAN LIVE!
Oscar-winning actor Christopher Walken, one of the most revered talents of his generation and a veteran of film, television and stage, will portray the iconic Captain Hook in NBC's Dec. 4 telecast of "Peter Pan Live!"
"We are absolutely delighted that Christopher Walken will be putting his unique stamp on Captain Hook for our holiday musical event 'Peter Pan Live!,'" said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. "He's not only one of the most versatile actors in our business, but his love of musicals and uncanny abilities as a dancer make him perfect for stepping into this classic James M. Barrie character. Get ready to be charmed, amused, frightened and dazzled by Captain Hook in an entirely original way."
"We're so happy to reunite with Chris, who starred in our film version of 'Hairspray,'" said "Peter Pan Live!" executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. "The exhilarating thing about doing these live musicals is giving the stage to a thrilling performer like Chris, and seeing his once-in-a-lifetime performance unfold at the same moment the audience is watching at home."
Added Walken: "I started my career in musicals and it's wonderful after all this time, at this point in my career, to be in this classic musical I watched as a child and to work with Neil Meron and Craig Zadan again after 'Hairspray.' It's a chance to put on my tap shoes again."
The multi-talented Walken - whose iconoclastic career began on the Broadway stage in musicals - has appeared in more than 100 combined feature films and television shows. He won the Academy Award for his riveting role in the Oscar-winning best picture "The Deer Hunter" and was Oscar-nominated for Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can."
Some of his other many memorable film performances include "Sleepy Hollow," "The Dead Zone," "A View to a Kill," "Pulp Fiction," "Wayne's World," "True Romance" and "Annie Hall."
He's also jumped off the screen in a number of film musicals, including "Hairspray," where he performed "(You're) Timeless to Me," and "You Can't Stop the Beat" alongside John Travolta. He danced a show-stopping routine to "Let's Misbehave" in the Steve Martin film "Pennies From Heaven" and is currently seen dancing again in Clint Eastwood's screen version of the smash Broadway hit "Jersey Boys."

"I'm going to address the situation involving Aaron Hernandez today. I felt that it was important enough to do that prior to the start of camp. It's a sad day, really a sad day on so many levels. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim and I extend my sympathy really to everyone who has been impacted. A young man lost his life. His family has suffered a tragic loss and there's no way to understate that. When I was out of the country, I learned about the ongoing criminal investigation that involved one of our players and I and other members of the organization were shocked and disappointed in what we had learned. Having someone in your organization that's involved in a murder investigation is a terrible thing. After consultation with ownership, we acted swiftly and decisively. [Patriots owner] Robert [Kraft] and his family and I, since I got here in 2000, have always emphasized the need for our team and our players and our organization to represent the community the right away both on and off the field. We've worked very hard together over the past 14 years to put together a winning team that's a pillar in the community. I agree 100 percent with the comments that Robert has already made on the situation; I stand behind those as well. This case involves an individual who happened to be a New England Patriot. We certainly do not condone unacceptable behavior and this does not in any way represent the way that the New England Patriots want to do things. As the coach of the team, I'm primarily responsible for the people that we bring into the football operation. Our players are generally highly motivated and gifted athletes. They come from very different backgrounds. They've met many challenges along the way and have done things to get here. Sometimes they've made bad or immature decisions but we try to look at every single situation on a case-by-case basis and try to do what's best for the football team and what's best for the franchise. Most of those decisions have worked out but some don't. Overall, I'm proud of the hundreds of players that have come through this program but I'm personally disappointed and hurt in a situation like this. Moving forward consists of what it's always been here: to build a winning football team, be a strong pillar in the community, be a team that our fans can be proud of. That's what we're here for."

Overall Experience
Great service and good atmosphere
20 November 2014
My plane didn't leave until 6:30 pm the next day so I was in the hotel common areas for a long time after check out. I was out on the terrace, in the restaurant and the lobby. Everywhere I was impressed by the cleanliness and freshness. The room was furnished comfortably and was very quiet. The bed and pillows were so restful. I really enjoyed the food in the restaurant. Everywhere in the hotel and restaurant the staff was friendly and courteous.
GREAT hotel especially for pre/post cruise nights
18 November 2014
We thoroughly enjoy staying at the Crowne Plaza Ft Lauderdale Airport property for it's convenient location to both the airport and the cruise port. It is also probably one of the only 4/5 star properties that offers a COMPLIMENTARY airport shuttle!!! Staff is always pleasant and issues are addressed immediately. The hotel restaurant (Kiki's) is fabulous and has one of the best breakfast menu's of any hotel we've stayed at in the Ft Lauderdale area. Rooms are fabulous - beds are fabulous - bathroom amenities are fabulous - and the property smells wonderful (not musty like most of the other hotels we've stayed at in the area)! Highly recommend this property.
Stopover from flight to cruise
17 November 2014
Choice of hotel was mainly for convenience at the end of a very long flight from Australia prior to boarding a cruise. Short taxi ride from airport. Appreciated that the restaurant stayed open late so we could have dinner on arrival. Room was quiet so easy to catch up on sleep and adjust to new time zone. There is not a lot in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, but there are quite a few restaurants and shops a bit further afield. Facilities at hotel not that extensive, but adequate. Breakfast was OK but not outstanding. Big plus was car hire office in same building, so we could tour around local area prior to starting cruise. Staff were very helpful in arranging transfer to cruise. Would definitely stay again.
16 November 2014
I cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale two to three times a year. From the day this hotel has opened it has been my hotel of choice! The staff, location and cleanses of the hotel is "PERFECT". I retired from Chevron after 31 years of service and in the 31 years I've stayed at many fine hotels. This hotel is one at the top of my list. "PERFECT IN EVERYWAY"

During our play dates we get to chit chat about all sorts of aspects of our everyday lives, just like any other moms do. We share tips and tricks about potty training and making our kids eat more veggies, talk about our oldest's pre-schools, complain about the huge number of toys our kids have and how they both still want to play with the exact same toy at the same time, etc.
The idea of the blog NON-TOY GIFTS came once we started thinking of toy-alternative gifts for our children. When we had this impressive list of 60 non-toy presents, we thought it was a good idea to share it with other parents living in the Twin Cities. Although some are local gifts, like Family Theater Membership to the Stepping Stone Theater, Train Rides in Duluth or books from the Red Balloon in St Paul or Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis, parents from anywhere can check out the blog to find interesting ideas.
We also made available a list of 25+ local freebies and activities for children: gifts they can receive for free on their birthday, treats to enjoy year round and events and activities the kids can attend for free.
If you're looking for a place to celebrate your kids' birthday, all you have to do is go through our list of 40+ party venues. There are so many in the Twin Cities and we try to put them all together in one place.
We created Non-Toy Gifts for all the parents in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area, one place to go to when it comes to celebrating our kids and finding new ways in building them wonderful childhood memories. We hope that Minnesotan parents will find it resourceful and share their own ideas on non-toy gifts and experiences about the party venues they have used for their kids.
All the links we provide on the blog are purely for information purpose. We have no intention in promoting any businesses or services. We wished useful information like we've gathered, consolidated and put in one place, was available to us when we first became parents and that's the whole idea about this blog - to share this information with the Minnesotan parents like us.

Once upon a time, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club made the best anti-establishment, unrinsed rock sleaze available -- the perfect complement to a dawn wasted sloppily driving city streets in search of more drugs to prop up a fading high. With Howl, however, the scruffy trio ceases its jocking of Jesus and Mary Chain and Spacemen 3 to thumb through American musical traditions that predate rock and roll. Thus the bearded, yodel-y folk of "Devil's Waitin'," the yeehaw blues stomp of "Ain't No Easy Way," and the dour Sixties piano-pop of "Gospel Song" disarm, displaying a vulnerability and versatility that until now was hidden behind distortion and effects pedals; BRMC wears nonrock duds with surprising grace.

Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love
Artist: Nicole Scherzinger
Featuring: will.i.am
Producer: will.i.am
Album: Her Name Is Nicole
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 9 votes )
After her first single, Whatever U Like, proved to be a disappointment, lead Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger tries again with the next single from Her Name Is Nicole. Baby Love will remind listeners of PCD's Stickwitu, as Nicole once again sings of how good she feels around her man; she isn't going to let him go. Will.i.am's soft guitar production and baritone bridge vocals enhance the mood here, propelling its invasion of the AC charts. Listen for more from Miss Nicole when Her Name Is Nicole is released on November 13th.

Revisiting Tofino
Oct 2 - the days starts with a walk on Chestermna's Beach -- this is good!
we complete a tour of Tofino - some changes but, happily, not too many I recognize old stops!
The Common Loaf bakery looks just like it did 20yrs ago and the products are just as healthy and tasty (we are in crunchy granola country).
Roy Vickers studio is going strong - quite busy and several 'consignment' items over $16,000.
Have you ...
Hell to Heaven?
Oct 1 - let me start by saying I hope this isn't a duplicate!! still in the land of 'wobbly' internet connections!
We start on our 5hr journey to Tofino - waiting at the door for M and the car -- he alone arrives saying come and
see the car has been vandalized! The window, drivers side back has been broken with something obviously wrapped in a large towel near the car - everything in the car has been ransacked but it seems only the GPS ...
Freakin TRUCKS !!
Fort St Johns...Tuesday : Huge day driving on the road today. We left the campground at Jasper around 0900. Kaff got chatting to our RV neighbour and we got some advice regarding Pooping in the Rv Toilet. All sorted now, he gave us some chemical stuff that should do something magical..anyway all good in the world. First stop was 5 minutes out the front gate and Kaff went on the Sky Tram thing. Unfortunately is was still a bit misty so the view wasn't ...
We arrived in Canada to see the rolling hills and deer leaping through the bush. Maple trees leaked golden transparent sap. I even saw a chipmunk at the lodge. The local's were very friendly and me and Ella enjoyed the lodge. Very big rooms and very good service. Now it's time for the fun. To WONDERLAND. The theme park was fulled with queasy roller coasters, fun family rides and interactive games. My favorite ride was ...
Ready for SE Asia 2.0
Well just a quick update before we hit the road and start our 2nd trip over to SE Asia. We got back home and had another wonderful summer at our cabin in northern Manitoba. My ongoing interest in gardening has really taken shape and at the end of the summer I had the 4 4'x10' raised beds constructed in 2012 in full vegetable production. Also one 3' x 16' flower bed along the south facing back wall of the cabin in full glory, 2 new raised beds and 1 north facing flower ...

European publisher Ojom GmbH announced yesterday the release of a Shaun of the Dead for mobile phones. The mechanics of the game are simple: it is a first-person shooter where you play Shaun as you try to protect your friends inside the Winchester. In trying to retain the humor of the "rom zom com" (romantic zombie comedy) film, the player's arsenal consists of Shaun staples such as a shotgun, cricket bat, and vinyl LPs (pictured). The game is designed as a casual game one can play one-handed.
Last August, we mused about a Shaun of the Dead game where one would have to get their rag-tag gang to the
Winchester while keeping as many people alive as possible, where anything could be picked up and used as a weapon -- how
would you envision a Shaun of the Dead video game?

Fuel quality sensor helps adapting cars to different fuel qualities
Besides providing data as to the fuel quality, the sensor also detects substances in the fuel, such as sulfur, the gasoline water content, additives, and other contaminants. The information can be used to protect engine components and parts of the exhaust gas after treatment against a potentially negative impact influences on their operation and the emissions level.
The development of the fuel quality sensor is driven by a global trend to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels to bring down transportation related CO2 emissions. According to Continental, this trend has pushed the use of an increasing number of alternative fuels. These fuels include bio diesels produced from various ester origins, and fuels with ethanol content (E10+). As a consequence, modern world cars will need to be prepared for diverse fuel qualities.
The sensor is an embedded device that uses a MOEMS component (Micro OptoElectroMechanical Sensor) to determine fuel composition by measuring light transmission in the infrared spectrum. This optical measuring principle can be used to detect many different fuel properties such as density, heat value, cetane and octane number, sulfur content classification, viscosity and others. A single type of sensor hardware covers both, diesel and gasoline engine applications. Sensor data are analyzed by embedded chemiometric models that predict the fuel content based on a single specific parameter. Once installed, the sensor micro system will monitor the fuel composition and provide this information to the engine controller.
Newly developed software modules in engine management systems will be able to adjust parameters like injection timing and quantity. "Whatever the individual OEMs requirement is, the intelligent Fuel Quality Sensor will provide a starting point for adapting engine management. By integrating the sensor module in a vehicle and enhancing the engine controller software it will become possible to compensate fuel quality variations, to optimize engine operation and to protect not only sub-systems such as the exhaust gas after-treatment but also the engine itself", says Gerhard Böhm, Head of Continental's Engine System business unit. "The fuel quality sensor will thus help to ensure constant engine operation despite increasingly unpredictable fuelling options."

Supercar is a term used most often to describe an expensive high end car.
It has been defined specifically as "a very expensive, fast or powerful
car".[1] Stated in more general terms: "it must be very fast, with sporting
handling to match", "it should be sleek and eye-catching" and its price
should be "one in a rarefied atmosphere of its own".[2]
The supercar can take many forms including limited production specials
from an "elite" automaker, standard looking cars made by mainstream
companies that hide massive power and performance, as well as models that
appeal to "hardcore enthusiasts" from "manufacturers on the fringe of the
car industry".[3]
"Supercar" is also a label custom car retrofitters reserve for their
showcase, one-of-a-kind project vehicles; typically these are very
extensively-modified collectible muscle cars, sports cars or grand touring
automobiles updated to the very latest "streetable" racing
Occasionally, the term Hypercar is used for cars that might be considered
beyond the definition of "Supercar". This is even more difficult to define.
An advertisement for the Ensign Six, a 6.7 L (410 cu in) high-performance
car similar to the Bentley Speed Six, appeared in The Times for 11 November
1920 with the phrase "If you are interested in a supercar, you cannot
afford to ignore the claims of the Ensign 6."[6] The Oxford English
Dictionary also cites the use of the word in an advertisement for an
unnamed car in The Motor dated 3 November 1920, "The Supreme development of
the British super-car."[7] and defines the phrase as suggesting "a car
superior to all others".
In the United States, the term "supercar" predates the classification of
muscle car[10][11] to describe the "dragstrip bred" affordable mid-size
cars of the 1960s and early 1970s that were equipped with large, powerful
V8 engines and rear wheel drive.[12] The combination of a potent engine in
a lightweight car began with the 1957 Rambler Rebel that was described as a
"veritable supercar".[13] "In 1966 the sixties supercar became an official
industry trend"[14] as the four domestic automakers "needed to cash in on
the supercar market" with eye-catching, heart-stopping cars.[15] Among the
numerous examples of the use of the supercar description include the May
1965 issue of the American magazine Car Life, in a road test of the Pontiac
GTO, and how "Hurst puts American Motors into the Supercar club with the
390 Rogue"[16] (the SC/Rambler) to fight in "the Supercar street racer
gang" market segment.[17] The "SC" in the model name stood for
"SuperCar".[18] The supercar market segment included regular production
models[19] in different muscle market segments (such as the "economy
supercar"[20]), as well as limited edition, documented dealer-converted
During the late 20th century, the term supercar was used to describe "a
very expensive, fast or powerful car with a centrally located engine",[25]
and stated in more general terms: "it must be very fast, with sporting
handling to match", "it should be sleek and eye-catching" and its price
should be "one in a rarefied atmosphere of its own".[26]
On Bedford Autodrome, tested by Evo Magazine, the R8 was faster than the Lamborghini Gallardo.
The R8 was awarded Best Handling Car and Fastest Car In The World of
2007 by Autocar magazine.
It was awarded SportsCar of the year by German magazine Autobild.
Playboy magazine awarded it Car of The Year for 2008.
The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) named the R8
Canadian Car of the Year, and, in addition, gave it the Best New Prestige
Car and Best New Design awards for model year 2008.
Fifth Gear named the R8 both the Best fast car and the Car of the Year
Automobile Magazine awarded the R8 the 2008 Automobile of the Year.
The Audi R8 was named 2008 "MSN Car of the Year", with 42% of the
votes, beating the Ferrari F430 into 2nd with 13%, and the BMW M3 into 3rd
with 11%.[59]
The JB car pages awarded the Audi R8 its maximum rating of 5 stars.[60]
In the 2008 World Car of the Year awards, the R8 was awarded World
Performance Car of the Year and World Design Car of the Year.
European Car magazine rated the R8 as Car of the Year.
Motor Klassik readers named the Audi R8 the "Classic Car of the Future
2009" in the Sports Car category.
The Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car. It is a two door
"2+2" hard top convertible. The California is powered by front-mid mounted
gasoline direct injection 4.3 L (260 cu in) V8 with 460 PS (338 kW; 454
hp).[2] The car revives the "California" name used for the late-1950s
Ferrari 250 GT.

RB Peyton Hillis - New York Giants
|6-0, 240
|Born: 1-21-1986
|College: Arkansas
|Drafted: Round 7

News you need to know
From Mark Wimer's Monday injury report (Mon Nov 17): Hillis was sent to IR on November 15 due to his concussion woes. His season is over.
Week 12: vs Dallas Cowboys
Mark and Joe say: Neutral matchup. The Giants lost to Dallas 21-31 back on October 19 - they were doing without Rashad Jennings at that time, leaving Andre Williams (18/51/0 rushing) and Peyton Hillis (now on IR) as the main running threats at Dallas. This week, Jennings is back in the saddle, so looking back to Week 7 won't tell us a lot about his prospects in MetLife Stadium on Sunday night. He had the bulk of carries vs. San Francisco last week (18/59/0 rushing out of 21/65/0 rushing attempted) and added 4/8/0 receiving to his totals last week. We expect Jennings to be fed the ball frequently again here in Week 12. Williams handled 2/2/0 rushing and 1/4/0 receiving for the Giants last week. The Dallas rush D is ranked 12th in the NFL averaging 109.0 yards allowed per game, with nine rushing TDs given out over 10 games. They coughed up 24/71/2 to the Jaguars during their most recent game, after allowing 29/102/1 to the Cardinals two games ago. This is a respectable, but not a shut-down, defensive front. This looks like a neutral matchup for the home team - neither New York nor Dallas hold an edge in this phase of the game.
Recent Stats and Projections

Recent Game Summaries
2014 Week 9 vs IND (4 / 20 / 0 rush, 6 / 5 / 50 / 0 rec)
Peyton Hillis didn't accomplish much on the ground with only 4 carries but managed to provide a few sparks in the passing game. Hillis managed a nice screen pass play down the sideline, which was well set up by a misdirection handoff to Beckham Jr. Hillis also had a big first down with a stretch play outside, which was well blocked and allowed him to get some momentum for a change and power forward. Hillis was a factor out of the backfield for Manning and showed a reliable pair of hands when needed as a checkdown option. Hillis got too few carries on the ground however and never was a factor to score on the goal line in the redzone. The Giants could not afford to stick with the running game and he is only the #2 back on the depth chart so his workload will never be big as things stand.
2014 Week 10 vs SEA (1 / 4 / 0 rush, 2 / 1 / 5 / 0 rec)
Peyton Hillis got one simple dive carry up the middle and a checkdown pass from Manning before being forced to leave the game due to injury. Hillis would have not likely accomplished much on the ground as he is the number 2 running back and the Giants struggled to run the ball throughout the game.
Latest NewsGiants | Peyton Hillis placed on IR (Sat Nov 15, 12:11 PM) - The New York Giants placed RB Peyton Hillis (concussion) on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 15. Our View: Concussions have been a problem for Hillis in the past. With Rashad Jennings coming back from injury, the role for Hillis was going to shrink anyway.

Open in the front and back, the Hula case covers the perimeter of your device - protecting all sides, corners, and even the body. The Hula bezel raises the screen and the back of your device off the surface when lying flat. The Hula combines two materials: impact-resistant silicone to frame your device's edges and strong, clear TPR plastic between those lines. Together they form a protective band that absorbs impact on hard surfaces, with less coming between you and your device.

Sir for 1AC its the common procedure your ticket will be confirmed but berth number will be alloted only after chart preparation..This is followed since its primarily used for VIP quota they will allot cabins to them on first preference then to general public..
Guess it should not be problem to you since only one 1A coach is there you can board directly...

Color: White/Metallic Summit White/Black/Metallic Red Bronze
Average weight: 12.6 oz.
I think these shoes are great! They are lightweight, roomy in the toe box, yet supportive at the heel and ankle. I play 3-4 times a week on hard courts in the winter and Har Tru in the summer. They work well on both surfaces.
I really like this shoe. I got it to play tennis in. It is very light and supportive of my feet. Outstanding!
They feel really comfortable and nice. Had no problem with them, I am sure I will be able to make use of it on the tennis season.
Very pleased. Fits well, looks and feels good.

November 23, 2014
(AP) Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide said. He was 90.
Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s and sometimes used a wheelchair, died at 1:30 a.m. after suffering breathing problems, aide Rohan De Silva said.
Clarke moved to Sri Lanka in 1956, lured by his interest in marine diving which he said was as close as he could get to the weightless feeling of space.
"I'm perfectly operational underwater," he once said.
Co-author with Stanley Kubrick of Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey," Clarke was regarded as far more than a science fiction writer.
He was credited with the concept of communications satellites in 1945, decades before they became a reality. Geosynchronous orbits, which keep satellites in a fixed position relative to the ground, are called Clarke orbits.
He joined American broadcaster Walter Cronkite as commentator on the U.S. Apollo moonshots in the late 1960s.

The Already Dead Family Reunion is only one week away! For me, this is by far the most magical music experience of the year and I'm incredibly excited to share it with all of you! In the next few days, you'll be seeing posts from several DIT writers about the Family Reunion, what it means to them and what they're looking forward to this year. Seeing as how I am the one booking the festival, I'm gonna start by sharing my perspective and hopefully encouraging you to join us on September 24th – 28th!
Over the past couple years of booking this annual event, I've had a number of people tell me it is best festival they've ever been to. I've also heard folks say that they've never seen this big a lineup without any filler acts or that they've never been so consistently blown away by this many new bands. Very high praise and I do not take it lightly!
The Family Reunion is a deeply important experience for me and I take great pains to ensure it is the best event I can possibly put together. I carefully pick bands that are creative, challenging, passionate and inspiring. I'm not concerned with booking artists that have been hyped on Pitchfork or can draw a big crowd. Instead, I want this to be a special experience for all playing and attending. You may not know all the performers ahead of time, but I guarantee that if you have an open mind, you will enjoy every minute of it!
For those not familiar, here is a quick bio on what the ADFR is and what you need to know about this year:
The Already Dead Family Reunion is an annual music festival based around the label Already Dead Tapes & Records which was founded by Josh Tabbia and myself (Sean Hartman) in late 2009. The first Reunion was a one day event in the Fall of 2011. We wanted to put together an event that allowed label bands from across the country to meet and collaborate. We wanted to inspire local creativity by bringing in fresh and forward thinking artists. Most of all, we wanted to build a festival where people attend because of the event's reputation, not just because their favorite band is playing. Every year it has grown both in scope and attendance. This year includes 36 bands from all over the country playing at 4 different venues over the course of 5 days!
A lot of amazing acts have played the Reunion over the past three years and I wholly believe this year is the best lineup yet!
We've got some heavy hitters from previous Reunions -
(About A Million, Grow Fangs, Problems That Fix Themselves, The New Diet, Spelling Bee, U.S. Tribes, Morseville Bridge, AM Stations)
Newer label bands making their Kalamazoo debut -
(Shitstorm, Ant'lrd, Silence Dogood, Yeesh, Miami Dolphins, Watermelon, Kyle Kaos)
Locals bands -
(The Reptilian, Forget The Times, Boring People, Vermillion Father, Boron Nuzzle, Guppy, Anybody But The Cops, Axel Quinlan, Dumbelievers, ARGERN, M. Sord)
Plus fan favorites, label associates and friends in the making – (Child Bite, Cheer-Accident, Cellular Choas, Chris Brokaw, Spanyurd, Regular Fucked Up People, Victoria Blade, Comfort Food, Law$suits)
We've even got a special event at the Alamo Drafthouse where a few hand picked musicians will be improvising a live soundtrack to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari!

I'll leave you now with a few videos of the bands playing. Thanks for reading and I hope to see you next week!
