Evening links.

• My co-worker described this video as "men in white outfits doing synchronized swimming minus the water, plus dogs". It just made me happy:

• Don't forget about Battle of the Children's Books Bands tomorrow! And if you go, don't forget to say hello to the ever-rad Lynne Polvino.
• The actors behind the more well-known masks. (Minus Warwick Davis, who is well-known enough in his own right.)
• Free crocheted gourd pattern! If... you want to crochet a gourd.
• Library haiku! Here's mine, inspired by an interaction today:

"Next Ken Follett book?
2012. No, you can't put it
on hold yet. Sorry."

• The Guardian is going to create dedicated site for younger readers. ROCK ON, GUARDIAN FOLKS. Let's hope that other newspapers follow.
• A Top Gun sequel? WHY?
• Current beer: Weyerbacher AutumnFest.
• A defense of the Happy Meal toy, and a slideshow.
• A plagiarism suit against JKR has been given the go-ahead in the UK.
• The existence of the fourth (or fifth?) Stieg Larsson book has been confirmed. Not that we'll necessarily see it anytime soon.
• Good Night, Moon.
• HP, HG, and RW as hipsters.
• And okay, now I need some actual food that is not beer.
