Yesterday we celebrated our 6th BANDIVERSARY! That’s right, 6 years of Harry and the Potters! Wow! I can’t really even belive that, but I’m just gonna roll with it. As always, thank you so much for your continued support. Being in this band has been a truly special and unbelievable experience for us. As we prepare to embark on our 5th straight summer of touring, we do hope that you’ll find an evening to join us. We don’t tour much anymore, so this is really your only chance to see us in 2008. If you’ve seen us before, come see us again! If you’ve never seen us, DON’T MISS IT! This summer’s show is gonna be INCREDIBLE!!! We’ve got all sorts of awesome stuff lined up and even a new song or two!
Also, this is an awesome sand castle we built after practice one day last week. We have Unlimited Enthusiasm for sand castles!
As some of you may know, we also have Unlimited Enthusiasm for awesome merch! Bring boatloads of money to the shows this summer. Seriously! All the bands will have amazing stuff. Georg (the dude who made our CD artwork) is making woodcut prints (by hand!) of the Voldemort Can’t Stop the Rock cover. They are stunning. All the bands als contributed to the Unlimited Enthusiasm Summer Zine! It’s super cool! We just printed them today!!! OMG!!!!! We even have a tote bag with the giant squid on it! Wow! And of course t-shirts. Zoinks!
I am really excited to finally tell you about a project that I’ve been working on for the past few months.
It is our choices that make us who we are as individuals, it is also our choices that make us who we are as a society. For all of us in the US who will be “of age” by this November we need to Wizard Rock the Vote and exercise our choice on who the next President of the United States will be. So here’s where we come in:
The Harry Potter Alliance and Wizard Rock community have together organized Wizard Rock the Vote. We are looking for two volunteers (of any age…it’s okay if you’re under eighteen to volunteer) at every Wizard Rock concert across the country to help register audience members to vote. You’ll get to work with the bands and help talk to awesome people at the concert and register them to vote!
As a volunteer, the bands will provide you with a clipboard and registration forms before the concert to sign people up to vote for the November election.
If you are interested in being one of these awesome volunteers, check out concerts near you and fill out the form or send an email directly to samantha@thehpalliance.org - and check out the participating bands we have so far (more coming)! If you didn’t realize already, all our summer tour dates are posted on this website. The tour starts next week so volunteer NOW!
AND check out the awesome new Wizard Rock the Vote t-shirts (sales support this campaign) and most importantly, during the summer of 2008 on the eve of one of the most historic elections in US history, let’s make sure to Wizard Rock the freakin’ Vote!
Yours in the revolution,
Paul DeGeorge
Harry and the Potters/the HP Alliance/Unlimited Enthusiasm CEO/Camp Jump and Yell Head Counselor
P.S. We still need a few UEE volunteers at certain shows this summer. Please see the Unlimited Enthusiasm Facebook Group for the most up-to-date info on volunteering to help our tour.
Harry and the Potters have released a promo video for the Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo. The video features a NEW SONG from their upcoming submission to the Wizard Rock EP of the Month Club which will be released towards the end of summer.
