But the good news is we’ve booked the fabulous KwikSpell as a last-minute replacement, so you’ll still get to hear six fantastic wizard rock bands on Saturday!

See you in just three days!

We’ll be donating to the HPA again, but this time, we’re earmarking 100% of the donation for their work with the Imagine Better Coalition, specifically their work toward marriage equality. HPA executive director Andrew Slack explains, “Named after J.K. Rowling’s quote: ‘We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better,’ the Imagine Better Coalition is dedicated to bringing together the world’s most prominent YouTube celebrities, over twenty fan communities, and best selling young adult authors toward social change – such as getting one million people engaged in marriage equality.”

OWL feels this is a timely and important cause to support. We are firmly dedicated to fighting for human rights, and that means the same rights for all, regardless of race, color, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation. We fully support the LGBT community in their fight for equality, both under the law and in the hearts and minds of their fellow human beings.

Please join us in our fight. 100% of the proceeds from the Hogwarts Hootenanny on Feb. 5 will go toward this cause.

(Plus, it’s a wrocking good time!)

Sorry it’s taken us so long to let you know, but we at OWL are THRILLED to announce that Carousing With Cupid raised $1500 for the HPA, STAND, and Partners In Health!

We couldn’t have done it without you, so pat yourselves on the backs (depending on how long your arms are, you might need a spell for that)!
