Wrockstock WROCKED!

The weekend was just completely awesome. Wrockstock was basically a wizard rock festival held all weekend at the YMCA Trout Lodge in Potosi, Missouri. It was the first of it's kind around here, put together by SLAW (St. Louis Area Wizards) with all proceeds going to the Harry Potter Alliance (a non-profit organization that strives to use the examples of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore to spread love and fight the Dark Arts in the real world. The HP Alliance is taking on all kinds of important causes the world over.) A dozen wizard rock bands donated their time to wrock out this weekend for a great cause. The fest completely sold out, with HP fans of all ages coming to enjoy the bands, HP related activities, other lodge activities, and just company and love of HP fans.



This is the right shoulder of my Wrockstock hoodie, signed by Brad (I think. I can never remember which is which) of Draco and the Malfoys!!!



This is the left arm of my hoodie. Signed by the incredibly sweet Alex Carpenter of The Remus Lupins (seen here in July. The poor guy was trying to get his lunch together when he was mobbed by several fans. Even though I'm sure he was very hungry he ever so graciously set his lunch tray down and signed several people's hoodies and shirts and got his picture taken with my son and I, all the while wearing a big smile and being totally sweet. What a guy!



This is what Harry Potter, the Harry Potter Alliance, and Wrockstock is all about. A 300 person hug at the closing ceremonies. "Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think there was a little more love in the world."
