Need your Snape fix this summer? If plan to attend Ascendio, the Snapecasters will be hosting one of our famous Snape meetups during the con. For more information, check out the Livejournal community.

And if you have not registered for Ascendio yet, be sure to do do before May 1 when the registration price increases. And don't forget to mention you were referred by Snapecast.

It's that time of year again. Snapecast has an owl on the way to wish everyone's favorite snarky professor a happy 52nd birthday...



How will you be celebrating?

Due to a problem with blibbering-humdingers in the server (that may or may not have had anything to do with one snarky professor), snapecast.com was down for a while. We've called in an expert to take care of the infestation and are back. Stay tuned for further Snape-ing!

Always…
