Introduction

I'm an asst. organizer for the NY Geek Adventure Group.

Which character do you relate the most to?

Neville, because he was shy and weak but overcame it.

How did you get to become a fan of HP?

I wanted to play an HP internet game around fall 2009 but had not read the books. So I borrowed CDs of audio books and listened to all of them every day on my drive to work.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Azkaban, probably. The Sirius thing was great. Close 2nd was DH.

Who is your favorite character? Why?

I would say Luna for obvious reasons, but I have to say Slughorn because he was basically a good Slytherin. He was out for himself but he wasn't actually a bad guy. He was also really funny. A really fantastic character.

Which house are you a member of?

Technically I'm a Ravenclaw but I live my life by Hufflepuff. Huff values are most important to me. Anyway, I've got all houses in me. I was definitely more Slytherin when I was much younger, and quite Gryffindor-ish in my 20s

Hi Chris. I'm new to the group and wanted to attend the Spacewar meetup. Could you give me your phone number in case I'm unable to find you guys?

Thanks for organizing this event. It was excellent save the transportation woes. I look forward to the next event.

Hey Chris, If you are still planning to go to the Ambient thing, you might want to post it as a Meetup and offer to host it. Maybe you will get some late-owlers. Never know :)

Hey Chris, So glad you had a good time. The four of us had some great conversations! I was surprised Mooncake Foods didn't kick us out -- we were there soo long! Hope to see you again at SILLY DATE or Exploring Queens soon.

Hey Chris,

I'm trying to write a feature on the Quidditch World Cup, and the sport itself. I'm having trouble getting in touch with people involved, whethe playing in or organizing it. Any chance you could help me out with that? It'd be a super help because I'm on deadline.

Email me at [masked] if there's any info you can share with me. Appreciate the help!
