Weird stuff.
Anyone else see a bunch of code near the end of the page? The edit page looks fine...
Reproduced below in case not everyone sees it. This starts after the Bristol release party paragraph.

Does anyone know if there's a way for us to have amazon deliver the book? Is it possible to just get it delivered to the CTY office? --Emma 14:35, 27 February 2007 (MST)
I don't know for sure about CTY, but my brother was at a different camp when the last book came out and he had it delivered, so probably. I don't really care though, since my parents are going to bring it to me. --The other Emma
One of my hallmates had it mailed to them at camp. Most people got it from the bookstore at Siena though. KaiYotiC 14:29, 6 August 2007 (PDT)
At LAN.2, some people didn't even eat lunch...something tells me they forgot to. Clcrhiggaeeermo 13:31, 3 February 2008 (PST)
I swiped a copy from a friend of mine, Emmatheduck's roommate, and I finished reading the book at the end of the Harry Potter Movie showing. I think I did forget to eat, but my RA was like "you might wanna eat..." so i ate two pieces of salami and continued reading. --Kimcheeeee
Comments from the Article
It is not true that the shipment to Hawaii was delayed. Craploads of books were at Sam's Club the morning it came out. And everyone had a copy. Most of the adults had their own copy, but some had to borrow it (Sara:-)). A common afternoon activity was silent reading (although it might have been because of the fact that the RA's were lazy). We also annoyed people by talking very loudly about what happened (and who died). --T. M.
Nah uh. At the meeting thing on the first day, the site director said that the shipment of books to HPU for the staff had been delayed. Yeah, they could have gone out and bought books elsewhere, but a lot waited or borrowed books instead.--Emma 16:31, 21 October 2007 (PDT)
I can vouch for this. I was too young for CTY then, but I was on vacation with my Aunt there, and we went at midnight to get the book.
I'm going to Lancaster Second session, and because I live about 40 mins away, my parents are bringing me the copy during the weekend. -Wendeth
For those attending SAR during session 2, the town trip on Sunday is the day after the release date, which is probably when most people will get theirs.
My plan is to pre-order it, and get it on that town trip w/ insurance on my side. :) BTW in 2005 my roommate SPOILED the huge not-supposed-to-be-spoiled part of book 6. I nearly killed him. I was five pages away!!!
At Lancaster, books were so widely distributed that an entire weekend was wasted. Many spent the entire weekend indoors or outside reading, which infuriated their friends to no end. A certain photographer/videotaper who attended videotaped his friends spoiling the entire story, and told those who wanted to know. He also happened to insult his roommate and call him boring. This story was repudiated from positive proof that his roommate was the biggest "spaz" ever born.
