Hey everyone, I’m always apologizing for delays I know but unfortunately my computer crashed recently and I had to go purchase a new one. And considering I hadn’t backed up since probably May, all those wonderful photos and scans I promised you all are gone. Gone forever, never to be seen again. I’m coping though!Anyway, now more than ever if you have any scans, photos, anything of Rosario I’d gladly appreciate it. Of course anything you send in would be given proper credit.Those in NYC I hope you’ve gone and attended Two Gentlemen of Verona, the last date is September 11th. It’s a lot of fun and I highly recommend for anyone to go. For everyone else I hope you all got your copy of Sin City on DVD. It was released last week and if you can, grab the version with Rosario on the cover. Supplies are limited. I got mine already, you all best to have yours. Caps will be in the gallery soon, I promise.Big news, TONIGHT, Access Hollywood will be debuting a NEW trailer for RENT. This trailer features dialogue and clips of the songs “Without You” and “Finale B” in which Rosario sings. So please check your local listings and catch it.Speaking fo singing! For those who don’t obsessively frequent the Rent as much as I do they’ve added an audio player so you can preview songs from the soundtrack. For the tracks featuring Rosario, listen to Light My Candle and Out Tonight. Speaking fo the Rent site, for those of you who don’t know about the blog, there have been a few video entries done by Rosario. You can go to the site and see them or check back here later today since they’ll be added to the media section.Lastly, if you’ve ever met Rosario, I’m currently working on a `with the fans` page and would like to showcase pictures and stories of Rosario with the fans (meaning all of you) so please email me with any stories, pictures, etc. and I’ll be sure to add you. Of course, you get credit for anything you send in.
