Question Tuesday
This week’s question isn’t exactly a wizard rock question, but it is Harry Potter related. Awhile back, Joshua Herdman (Crabbe) made the claim that Deathly Hallows will be split right after Harry, Ron, and Hermione are grabbed by the Snatchers. David Yates has said he had “three or four different ideas” about where the break would [...]

Dear friends, Five years ago a sweaty dude named Andrew Slack came to one of our shows with an idea would profoundly change the way Harry Potter fans could interact with the magical world created by JK Rowling. No, he wasn’t proposing a theme park. Instead, he wanted to take a cue from the books and [...]

I’m not actually going to Infinitus, but all the anticipatory buzz is making me very excited for everyone who is! So, this week I ask: What’s your favorite thing about cons? Getting to see lots of wizard rock? Barely eating/sleeping for 3 days? Falling asleep with your best fandom friends right next to you? I love getting [...]

Sorry this Question Tuesday is bit late this week. Without Lost to mark the day, I forgot it was Tuesday! The other reason I didn’t realize it was Tuesday was because, for most of us, it’s SUMMER! Time tends to run together in the summertime, so I thought talking about our wizard rock plans might help [...]

Every June in Pittsburgh, we have the Three Rivers Arts Fest, 10 days of artists selling their wares, juried art exhibits, fair food, and free concerts. I spent Thursday night there, listening to Ingrid Michaelson. While her show wasn’t the greatest (with its forced banter and opening with a folk-y version of ‘Poker Face’) her [...]

I’m sure you have noticed some wonkiness with the ‘pedia lately. We’ve got the site back up to where you can view articles, but there is still some behind-the-scenes work to be done. Since I’m no expert at web development, and we rely on volunteer help for these sorts of things, the process is going [...]

Now I’m not normally a fan of multiple exclamation marks, but for the sake of The Whomping Willows’ new album, I suppose we can make an exception. Last year, The Whomping Willows put out an album departing from the traditional wizard rock album that we’re accustomed to seeing. Each song was a different part of the [...]

Have you been reading The Wrock Snob? The Wrock Snob is a no-holds barred blog that reviews wizard rock with absolute honesty. The reviews seem to be mixed so far – from “this is too mean, I won’t read it” to “glad to see someone is saying these things”. But, here’s the kicker – it’s [...]
