Grand Opening: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

36960_10150211784180615_824895614_12977416_6998471_n

When thinking of the moment I would finally experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I don’t think I could have possibly conjured up a better day than what really occurred on June 18th, 2010. This will be a long and detailed review of not only my personal experiences that day, but also of the park in general as well as attractions and shops. If for some reason you feel as if this will ruin your own eventual experience of the Wizarding World, please do not continue reading.

Bush is Back!!!

29406_395380842419_645507419_4072274_1792813_n

At 5pm PST, KROQ made the huge announcement that the 90’s alt-grunge phenomenon, Bush, were officially reuniting!!!!! As you all know, I’m a huge Bush fan and have been for the past 15 years (and, I just aged myself) so this is some pretty momentous news. Mr. Rossdale was at the radio station in person and on hand to deliver Bush’s first single in 9 years, AfterLife, from their upcoming album, Everything Always Now (lovin’ the name), which is expected to drop sometime in October of this year. You can listen to the track by clicking here and scrolling to the bottom.

As if that news wasn’t enough to make a hardcore fan weak at the knees, it was also announced that the band would be playing their first show as a powerhouse foursome again at the Epicenter Festival, taking place September 25th and 26th in Ontario, California, along with Blink 182, Kiss, Eminem and 30 Seconds to Mars, just to name a few. However, Gavin did not make any mention of the line up or whether it would include the original members: Dave, Robin and Nigel.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make the CA date, but really hope this is the first of many shows because there is no way I cannot be a part of this. Plus, it’s been exactly 10 years since my last Bush show and that is just unacceptable!

Any Bush fans out there that share my enthusiasm? Let’s make some noise and show the boys our support! Request AfterLife on your local rock stations!

It’s Coming!

I promise my review of my amazing time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is coming, but I need some serious time to put together all my thoughts about the whole whirlwind of a day (along w/ pictures and videos). So, to tide you over, here is a pretty awesome video of the opening day festivities from MuggleNet. What makes it extra awesome? The fact that yours truly as well as El Sanchez can be spotted at the 8 minute mark to the left of your screen as we enter the park to experience it fully for the first time!

I’ll be back tomorrow with the full deets!

xoxo

Harry Potter Bound

Harry_Potter_-_29

Today we’ll be driving up to Orlando to attend The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s grand opening tomorrow. I can’t even describe the feelings I am experiencing. Being such a huge Potter fan, this is a dream come true. I am so excited to be fully immersed in the world of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle – something I could only imagine while reading the books and watching the movies. I know it will probably be a total sensory overload, but I’m ready to take on the challenge! I am especially looking forward to riding on the new attraction housed in Hogwarts Castle: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. I’ve heard it is mind-blowing. Also, I can’t wait to drink Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice (& you know I’ll toast to the boy who lived).

For those of you that follow me on social networks, I’ll be live tweeting my experiences in and around the park and trying my best to upload photos to share with you all on both Twitter and Facebook.

I promise I’ll be back with a full review come next week!
The adventure begins…NOW!

Happy Hump Day: Joe Manganiello

tumblr_l3t5igiZgC1qzr4t5o1_500

Oh, Truebies. Something tells me Eric is going to be hoisted out from his top spot this season thanks to Joe Manganiello, who will be playing the sweet yet smoking hot werewolf sent to protect Sookie, Alcide. While reading the books, I instantly loved Alcide and saw him as the Aidan in the True Blood universe. I hope they do the character justice on the show – along with his crazy girlfriend, Debbie. One thing is for sure, a lot of ladies may be switching up teams very soon. God bless the weres! 😉
