WHO: Everyone! IC/OC
WHEN: mid-morning, Saturday, 16 December 1999
WHERE: Abercrombie & King Custom Brooms, Diagon Alley
SUMMARY: Grand Opening of the Store
RATING: Low

Aureliana had to remind herself that the grand opening for the storefront was supposed to be a celebration, but also laid-back, with the focus on the brooms rather than the party itself. A meet and greet with Jason took place several times throughout the event and kids could come in and enjoy the Build A Mini Broom station where they could "customize" a little palm-sized toy broom.

The centerpiece of the store was Jason's new racing broom for everyone to admire. If you were interested in purchasing a custom broom yourself, someone was available to make an appointment. For everyone who was not in the immediate market for a new broom, there was also a line of accessories available for purchase. Gloves, goggles, broom maintenance kits, and the like.

There is a selection of finger sandwiches, cheese, veggies, cupcakes, and Scottish shortbread to snack on. Butterbeer and sparkling wine are also available. For favors, there are little goodie bags filled with chocolate candies fashioned to look like brooms.

	Possibly that he's too sexy for this broom. If not, Joy will play that card. Though, to be honest, she's not sure about that, because that is a dead sexy broom, she isn't sure you can match it, King. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yes. That one. Thank you! They can riff on it for sure! He might grin and reply "Broom's only as good as it's handler." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That earns a loud cackle and a "that's what they all say," plus a suggestion that he put his money where his mouth is. Then she frowns, and says, "There's a race coming up, right?" (She's hungover; racing isn't her thing; give a girl a break.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughs, but makes no further comment. Not yet. "Solstice Sprint on the 21st, closes out the year for the World Broom Racing Majors." And he's not offended, while there are some lovely courses in Australia -- none of them are included in the World Broom Racing Majors. Joy gets a pass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She gives the broom an insinuating nod. "And you're taking her own for a spin, right? We can come along and see your handling in action?" She cannot keep a straight face while saying that sort of thing right now. But also: "Is spectating broom racing even a thing? I have no idea. How does it work?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"This lady makes her debut on Thursday." He had been very serious about that, other than a few test runs with Jamie this was the best sneak peek anyone was getting. "Gotta warm her up, take her to dinner first." There might be some laughing. "The spectating depends on the course. Solstice has a starting ceremony and a big bonfire party in the basin at the end."

	"Big bonfire party! That is much more my speed." She needs to move on and stop monopolising the host, but maybe she will see him there. She'll make sure to get there nice and early, so she can see him come in. (Reply to this) (Parent)
