Useless news after useless news. =\
I've seen Whimsic Alleys website and it looks AMAZING! I really want to go but Michigan is a little too far away from Cali. Maybe when im older i can go and buy a million things !
I live close enough to go to this! Now, do I want to go? I'll have to see what the time frame is on this. Cool!
this is not fair!!! this festival needs to come to Ohio :)
Wizard rock sucks. Why can't anyone see that?
Awwww, only 1 state away! Oh well. Have an awesome time to whoever goes! : )
I......dont........care, i want news i actually care about......i dont give two donkey piles about bands named after book characters due to their lack of originality to come up with names......whats next ?...Rubeous and the hairy hagrids? Aragog and the angry basalisks....?..why cant people see this?
I'll be there turning 21 in wizard-rockin' style! :D
I will like to go, but I can at this moment. This is good some news and different for what you expect about the rock bands. Something else I am in the top 20+, Hurray!!!!!
this sucks, I live an hour away and I cant get a ride with anyone. Im so close i can almost taste the butterbeer and jelly slugs.
Speaking from the point of a true lover of REAL music I have to say a festival like this one has got to be the lamest thing I have heard and I'd go in a second...
How cool! I will absolutely be there... and spend way too much money, inevitably. :)
wow thats awesome! I wish I lived in the States! Although last year i did go to Whimsic Alley and it is wicked ;)
I SOOOOOOOOOO want to go but I can't as I live in the UK lol!
once again....always excluded because i don't live in a city! why can't it come to Boston or something?! *sigh*
i hate living in new bedford...
I'll be there on Sunday! Some of the Wrock bands are great and yes it is REAL music.
No, it's not. ;p
Well let's see...there are lyrics, melodies, notes played on instruments...yep, it's music alright.
ive never heard the music... but it sounds really kool... wish i could go.
this festival needs to come to the uk they have never done a harry potter festival here
