Could You Be A Q & A Girl? New Features & Changes...
As you may have noticed in the past month, The Rock Groupie blog has become much more user oriented and interactive. With the addition of Groupie Fashion, The Community Forum, and the steady stream of regular Q & A sessions the blog has really opened up as a network for groupies instead of having a focus on my own life, and after a long period of reflection and contemplation I’ve ...
take-a-walkonthewild-side asked: The forum is always dead we need to get more people on it. It's so much more intimate than tumblr.

Q & A Session - Let's Make The Blog Better!
What do you want from The Rock Groupie?

Hopefully at some point it can turn...
Q & A
“You’re like the older sister I nerver had. I love you and keep this up because in the real world no one understands.”
That’s amazing, thank you!! I love all you guys too, you always get me smiling!
Q & A
“This has nothing to do with groupie life, but if you could go to dinner with 3 musicians (dead or alive) who would you choose??:
I think I answered this privately, but in case I didn’t, today I’d choose Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, & John Paul Jones because he’s a genius, an absolute fucking genius and nobody has any idea because they think he’s just a bassist!
Anonymous asked: If you don't mind me asking, but how did/do your parents feel about the lifestyle you lived while being a groupie? Were they disappointed or accepting of it? I know my parents won't be accepting of it and wish I'd pick college over traveling and enjoying the music scene. I do however plan on going to college after I've lived that lifestyle, but I don't want to go to...
Anonymous asked: where can someone get backstage passes for a band they've never met before?
futuregroupie asked: Your answer to that question pretty much described my life! I always have weird vivid daydreams about being in the scene only I can't say don't know how to get there thanks to your groupie school hahaha
Anonymous asked: I'm going to Liverpool next summer, so should I look for some musicians in there? I don't think they would like to hang out with a nearly 16 years old girl. Have you ever been in Liverpool? Is there any place where musicians hang out?
Anonymous asked: Oh god, you are an inspiration! I'd love to hang out with you sometime! Unfortunately I'm not a official groupie, you know, but I've always adored musicians.. So do you have any tips for a teenage girl who lives in a small country? There's not many groups, so starting wouldn't be very easy. I've read that The Rock Groupie School thing, but I'm still thinking how...
Anonymous asked: Hey April. First off, I love your blog! I'm just anon, because I don't want that my friends get to now what I'm asking you, because it's, let's call it stupid. Well, I'm friend with a roadie on Facebook a while ago, he's the roadie of my favorite band. Bad thing is. I want to get to know HIM. I don't care about the band and won't ask him out about them....

Q & A Session - Let's Make The Blog Better!
What do you want from The Rock Groupie?
Starting in a few hours, I am going to make today and tonight a seriously dedicated Q & A session, I have tonnes from my inbox that still need answering and whoever has any more questions, ideas for the blog, requests for material content, or otherwise you should send them in and I’ll do my absolute best to get back to all of you guys over the...
Anonymous asked: Honey, about your anon hater. I consider myself a groupie. I've had some excellent times with bands, but I'm like you, I think that bands are just as entitled to some privacy as the rest of us. I LOVE that you share your stories but keep all names to yourself. Just because you choose to not blabber on like some fame hungry starfucker (if you pardon the language) doesn't mean...

Dealing with Ignorance 101: By Elliott Smith
Artist: Elliott Smith Song: A Question Mark
I got a question mark You got a need to always take some shot in the dark I don’t have to make pretend the picture I’m in is totally clear You think that all things have a way they ought to appear ‘Cos you know you know you know you know You know I don’t I dream Don’t know what you mean Panic called you out and...
mariellehb1 asked: I wanted to tell you It really doesnt matter what they say, you are making a difference in the world just by being someone girls can reach out to and ask questions without judgement, without fear, thanks a lot for that.
Taking The Positives!
I’m in such a lovely mood today! Sometimes it takes some hopelessly close-minded sad soul trying to get you down to make you realize how great you have it and how sane of a human being you are. They get to take the easy way out of dealing with insecurities by venting their frusteration at a faceless stranger and feeling high and mighty for accomplishing absolutely nothing for themselves, and...
Anonymous asked: and also i have a shitload to contribute if you want me to, where can i send it?
Anonymous asked: I LOVE THIS! Save the extremely annoying floral background, this is a fantastic project. These hate mails you've been getting are quite hilarious, too, its one of my favourite things watching people get wound up over things that has absolutely nothing to do with them. Take it as a compliment, seriously. They care so so much about this. Smile wickedly and then dont even bother to answer. As...
Anonymous asked: I don't care whether this blog is real or fake, you've still helped me out a lot. I've never even met a band member before but now I have hope! You give us really great tips and advice. Thank you so much. <3
A Positively Fantastic Fan Mail
“Don’t let them get you down, honey! You’re one of the only groupie blogs out there that doesn’t just bash girls or tell everything about the band guys you’ve been with. I think that’s why you’re “hated on” so much. People want to hear stories~ about musicians, they want a modern day I’m With the Band, and when they don’t get it, it pisses them off. Continue to do what you do, because ...
twobithustler asked: Fuck them! If people were happy with their own reality they wouldn't be so worried about other peoples.
Anonymous asked: Do you know where I can watch Almost Famous online? btw Who is on your icon? xx
lovethestarsfondly asked: I'd like to point out that I've spent a good amount of time in both hotels and motels alike. Yes, some have their lights on the walls. However, some have them on tables, others have them on the ceiling. It all depends on what you paid to get your room. The more you pay, the nicer it is. The anons need to step off and realize that not every hotel/motel is exactly the same. Sheesh.
Anonymous asked: First of all, groupies who goes on tour with bands will have similar experiences to other groupies who go on tour. Your ridiculously fake hotel room photo is sad. Your BS stories are sad. None of it is true, and any real groupie can spot the holes in your story from a mile away. I'm in complete agreeance with the other anon; anyone whose been there can tell you're a fake. No real groupie...

Hierarchical Obsession
In lieu of recent hate mail, I have to wonder why society is so very obsessed with hierarchy in any form. Why do people feel like they must constantly be better, part of something exclusive that people different to them are not a part of? Why try to one up a total stranger you’ll never meet? Does that little victory really make your day better or are you just pent up and angry and...
Anonymous asked: hey, I'd just like to say (in stark contrast to the previous ask haha) that I think you are helpful, eloquent and I love the fact that you write honestly about this and the way you deal so succinctly with the 'haters' as such! I was wondering what your thoughts were on the more modern, 'scene queen' groupies such as jac vanek, audrey kitching, miss hannabeth etc? they seem...
Anonymous asked: Before you go spouting off about anonymous, I don't have a tumblr account. I have plenty of facts like I actuallly tour WITH bands and don't pay for my own tickets and hotel rooms because THEY INVITE ME. The lights are wrong as in hotel rooms they are always attatched to the walls by the beds. Kleenex is always in the vanity in a built in container that you cannot move from the bathroom,...
For Future Reference...
The concept that sending hate mail to someone you believe to be non-existent or unimportant somehow makes any chance of a real person sitting behind that screen dissappear into a firey abyss is sorely mistaken. I EXIST. And guess what? Everytime some idiot decides to tell me I’m a fake and speaks to me like I’m an emotionally void blogging robot, they waste both of our time with a...
Anonymous asked: That "hotel room side table pic" is a fake. There are so many things wrong with it that I cannot even begin to tell you. Have you ever been in a hotel room at all? It is obvious that you have not and obvious that you have never even met a band. Why are you pretending to be something you are not and making real groupies look pathetic? Because that is how the world you are...

Who Are You? (I Really Wanna Know!)
Who are my readers???
I want to start a feature where YOU GUYS send in photos you’ve taken to be featured! You don’t have to be a great photographer, you just have to have a cool photo and story behind it! Any of the following are great places to start:
travelling (on a plane, road trips to concerts, etc.)
landscapes (cities, the view out of a hotel window you’ll never see...
