I live in Lubbock and we're planning a road trip to St Louis (as close as it gets to our state)! We couldn't miss the once in a lifetime opportunity!

That would be amazing if I could make it to the Boston one! Too bad it's going to be on a Tuesday... I'll have school and no one to take me. :( This whole tour sounds really cool, though.

Although I'm extremely excited for all the cities that will have the opportunity to experience the Knight Bus, I'm kinda disappointed that the tour compleyely skips Florida. As a state, we're one of the biggest Harry Potter places! Oh well, maybe next year.

Yeah, seriously I would have to travel in order to do this bus thing, which I would if it wasn't through the week. That kind of thing always poses a problem. Its really cool, though, I am envious of those who will get to participate, hope they have tons of fun!

Well thats not bloody fair. I'm all the way in Britain, how the hell am i going to go on the tour. See how unfair that is. Events like this should take place in other countries too. There have been so many festivals and things in the US that just DONT happen anywhere else v_v

Wow that would be really awesome to be able to go on. Though I'm not so sure what I would do once they got to the library? I would love the bus though.

And again I say it: Why, why on earth can't they do such things in Germany?? I'd love to take part in such events, but no joy. I haven't got the money to travel to the USA :(
But to those who can attend: enjoy! (And tell us how it was.)
