-Marked as His Equal has shared an amusing story in his most recent blog here, involving his guitar and Natalia Tena.
-The Moaning Myrtles' Lauren has sent us the third installment of her exclusive tour diary as a part of Accio Bodyguard. She writes, "There are basically no words to describe how incredible Wrockstock was. Nina flew in for the weekend so I got to see my best friend again, and that made me really happy. I actually woke up the day we were going to Potosi, MO with almost no voice and I still am managing to hold onto that fraction of a voice I need to sing. It also miraculously came back just for our Moaning Myrtles set on Saturday. Thankfully."
