 KrazzeeKooter, if you like that kind of stuff, The Museum of Jurassic Technology http://www.mjt.org/ is pretty interesting.

 Unfortunately, and ironically, it looks like I may be in LA for the event. If so I will find a replacement. FYI, I've never been to LA, I've got two extra free days and a rental car and want to see everything that's cool for a cybergeek / cultural jaugenaut (sp?) like myself. If anyone can spare some time in LA email me at quicktopic-LA-post@mmeiser.com

 From the Chicago Sun-Times link...

"Even US Bank will become Gringott's Wizarding Bank, with goblin-led tours to its basement vault....Many characters from the book will be strolling about, as well."

Interesting that a bank is encouraging costume characters to tour the vault...sounds like a ready made plot for a heist. Not sure which is more convenient, this or the bank that gives out guns to new depositors...

 That would be cool. Get yourself a digital camera and document away.

 wow, something actually gets posted on boingboing in myneck of the woods. Amazingly this event is right around the corner from me. I offer my services as the ambasador of boingboing to document this event in all its wonderful geekdom.
