If you're gonna be around Middlebury College around October 26 there's going to be the first ever Intercollegiate Quidditch Tournament.

14 College and University Quidditch teams are traveling to Middlebury from around the country and beyond: Princeton, Vassar, Rochester, Louisiana State, University of Washington, McGill, Amherst, University of Massachusetts, Boston University, Chestnut Hill, Carlow, Emerson, and Green Mountain College.

To accompany the day long tournament there will be live entertainment by Middlebury's bands, the flying fists (a student fire-juggling club), a capella, chemistry professors exploding potions, sports announcers, a fully equipped field with bleachers and tents, and tons of food on sale by local Vermont vendors.

To make it even better, admission is free. I wish I were near there, but I'm not. I'd go if I could. Sounds like a blast.
