Although attendance was a little lower than expected, the evening was still a huge success. Mega Touch was out in force as Molly Brown rocked out to &#8220;Round and Round&#8221; and &#8220;White Wedding&#8221;, while Katie Hasty sang &#8220;Sabotage&#8221;. Fellow Touchers Joe Lops and Eric Devlin joined in on\u00a0guitar and drums respectively. Although his memory of the event is a little hazy, Craig &#8220;Ug&#8221; LaCombe of Unicorns praised his teammates Ted, Amy, Christian, and (possibly) John Mark for their\u00a0excellent version of &#8220;Cherub Rock&#8221;\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n<p>Rubens also made sure to extol Bob &#8220;Olmec&#8221; Weyersberg&#8217;s rendition of &#8220;Ballroom Blitz&#8221;, Aaron &#8220;Coach&#8221; Pagdon&#8217;s version of &#8220;California Uber Alles&#8221;, and Ana Hurka-Robles&#8217; interpretation of\u00a0&#8220;El Scorcho&#8221;.
