Here's the third in the ongoing series of "updates in their own words" from past interview subjects:

Grace Ambrose: "I just wrapped up a week of volunteering with Girls Rock Philly. Our showcase coincided with the weekend of This is Hardcore. I'll let you guess which I thought was the punker event. Along with the rest of DIYPHL I am working on an evening of all brand-new bands playing their very first shows called First Time's The Charm. Its goal is to encourage female-identified, trans* and queer folks and people of color to make noise and take up space in our community. I bought a drum kit and will make my debut behind it at that show in a band called Heavy Bangs." 

Cordy Swope: “We have been preparing for the Ruin reformation show August 31, 2013. We are really looking forward to pouring ourselves into the moment when we play again. We were thrilled to have received such great support from our friends and fans via Kickstarter so that our show can happen. As for me, I have been working remotely on the Ruin project from Munich, where I have lived for the past 10 years, raising two girls and doing consulting and design that helps companies be more creative.”

Tony "Pointless" Croasdale: "I direct several environmental education programs, mostly focused on kids at Cobbs Creek Environmental Center in West Philadelphia. I'm getting a masters in biology. I also have started leading bird tours, my first was in Brazil in 2012."
