Holy cow, look at these Muffliato Auction items!
Friday, January 15th, 2010 | Carousing With Cupid | No Comments
At last year’s ball, our silent auction, the Muffliato Auction, raised nearly $500 for the HPA. We’re going to have even better stuff for you to bid on this year. Here’s a taste:
From Christian Caldeira, of Oliver Boyd & The Remembralls:
“As for my donation to the silent auction, I’m going to donate a song. Whoever wins will get a custom written and personalized song by me. They can tell me what to write about, it can be HP related, but doesn’t have to be. It could be about them, a “personalized theme song” maybe? They can suggest a style of music they’d like it to be done in (within moderation. rock, metal, pop, folk, soul, R&B, funk). The more information they give me, the most personal it is for them. The song will be mailed to them on a professionally manufactured CD (complete with cover art and all that jazz) and will include the full version, as well as an instrumental version (for karaoke fun times!).”
From Adam Dubberly, of the Mudbloods:
“I still have the screen that I used to make the “RIP” shirts. Pretty soon I’m going to decorate it with Mudbloods lyrics and give it to the OKC wizards to auction off for charity.”
We will have other merchandise from most, if not all, the bands who are performing; a signed copy of Melissa Anelli’s book, Harry, A History; original artwork from various HP fan artists; cool t-shirts from the HPA, Wrockstock, and more, including a one-of-a-kind Carousing With Cupid t-shirt signed by all the bands; Hogwarts-themed gift baskets (like the house-themed gift baskets we had last year, but so much better!); and tons more!
The only way you can get your hands on any of this stuff is to attend the ball. Tickets are available at http://okwizards.com/events/2010-ball/2010-ball-tickets/.
If you intend to bid on auction items, please plan to pay by cash or check. Sorry, but we cannot accept credit cards for the auction.
We’re in the Oklahoman!

Dancing OWLs
Monday, December 21st, 2009 | Carousing With Cupid | No Comments
We got dressed up, went out in the cold, blasted wizard rock, and danced like idiots in public to make this video in the hopes that you’ll see it and go, “Wow, I would really like to party with those people! How can I make this happen?”
By coming to Carousing With Cupid in February, that’s how!
OWL Holiday Karaoke Extravaganza!
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
December 19, 8:00pm
Bon-Jom Korean Restaurant
4428 SE 44th Street
Oklahoma City, OK
Join the OWLs as we sing–er, hoot–our little hearts out for the holidays!
This place has private karaoke rooms that you rent by the hour. That way we don’t have to listen to every drunk idiot in the place belt out “Friends In Low Places”. Also, since it’s not a bar, those of you under 21 will have no problem getting in.
The cost is $30/hour, split between however many people show up. Beverages will be extra. Bring cash to make it easier to split the bill.
While Bon-Jom is technically a restaurant, I have never eaten there. I have never actually SEEN anyone eating there. Therefore, I would not recommend you plan to eat there.
Check out our Facebook group (link in the sidebar) to RSVP to the event, receive reminders, discuss plans, etc.
I hope to see you there!
Ticket prices will go up January 1

That’s right, you knew that incredible bargain price of $20 for adult tickets couldn’t last.
On January 1, 2010, adult ticket prices for Carousing With Cupid will go up to $30. Children and OCU student tickets will stay the same.
So that means you have a month and a half to get your tickets for $20 each. We currently have FIVE amazing bands for you. That’s just $4 per band! And ball tickets make great holiday gifts…
We’ve also got a surprise or two up our sleeves. We can’t tell you just yet what they might be, but you’ll want to stay tuned!
