go to Warped Tour

When I got to the venue they let us in ten minutes early (10:50) there were seven different stages and a ton of bands playing. I went with my best friend and a friend of hers. I got some merch first then ran off to watch Black Tide perform. There was a lot of moshing going on there and some guys protected me from being pushed into it. After that I ran out of there because the next band was horrible. I grabbed up a red poweraid and got some more merch. Then I saw Alana Grace who lured me to her stage with her beautiful voice. After her performance I got her to sign the 2 CDs I bought. I got two scarves one for me and one for my best friend that I got to dip in ice-cold water whenever I wanted all day long. I also got two paper fans because it was unbelievably hot. I lost my map, ended up at the wrong stage, and saw Escape the Fate where I had four crowd surfers dropped on my head/neck (I almost passed out). It was a push-pit and a mosh-pit during Escape the Fate. I was four people back from the front-center of the stage – it was crazy, I was thrown and pushed around like a rag doll, lost the fans somewhere in the crowd, and it started raining pretty bad. The lead singer of Escape the Fate made a lot of funny jokes especially about this one dude in the crowd. I found out which stage I needed to go to and wound up there in the middle of their performance (In This Moment). The lead singer sent the band members into an open circle in the middle of the crowd and had fans run around them. I joined in the running and that’s how my sunglasses got crushed. I wish I could have watched more of them. I ran to see TV/TV where I jumped, danced, and got into the music – the lead singer was funny. I got a picture with the lead singer and ran to see my friend where we shared some pizza and I gave her the bandana. She stayed to see A Day To Remember and I went to see Bad Religion but The sky opened up and it poured so I ran for cover and ended up missing out on them. I was exhausted and chilled in the bleachers for about an hour where I got very cold and changed my shirt. I caught up with my friend and her friend (who were very hard to find the entire during the entire event). There was another show I wanted to go to but we all wanted to leave so we booked it out of there and went to a restaurant. I ended up getting 5 CDs, 5 t-shirts, a pair of earrings, 2 bandannas, 2 fans, 1 pan pizza, 1 water, 1 poweraid, 3 posters, and a crap-ton of stickers. One of the posters got ruined. The skin on my ankles was ripped up by my boots, my head was aching, my muscles were straining, and I was freezing cold. It was beyond awesome. I plan to go next year too.

just a selfish goal i would like to achieve =)

My friend has ordered the tickets, her friend is driving, and I asked one of my co-workers to cover my shift so now I just need some extra monies for dropping on tons of merch.

I’m going with my best friend and some dude she knows. I’m so looking foward to it! Must save up money so I can buy tons of band merch!

1. Get Money
2. Buy Tickets
3. Find Ride

Steps 1 and 3 completed! I just made $120. $30 of which is going to buy my ticket. My cousin Jarrod and his bf Mikey are going w/ me so now I have a ride! I just need to buy my ticket now!

I went like 4 years ago (I can’t believe its been that long) and it was the most amazing experience! Over 40 bands 4 different stages, from well known to underground artists, bmx skating & biking…it was the best!! It was the coolest outdoor concert ever eventhough it happened to be the hottest day of the year (literally 99 Degrees). The vibe of the crowd is unlike anything you can experience!

‘09 is going to be fucking sick.

The Devil Wears Prada, Dance Gavin Dance, 30h!3.

Heads up: Don’t forget to pre-order tickets on April 1st (which is in like 3 days from now). They’ll be cheaper + get you in quicker. That’s what she said.

I had to wait a while to afford not just the ticket, but those little extra things. I HIGHLY recomend everyone to go atleast once. If you don’t like the music, just sit back and enjoy the vibe everyone is giving off. It’s also a good place hand things out for any cause of your choice. But make sure you drink ALOT of water because I’ve seen so many people pass out from dehydration. And don’t forget your sunscreen!

It has been an ambition for as long as I can remember to go to warped tour.
My best mate and I really hope to go this summer but I have to somehow find a way to take a couple of weeks off work to visit America again properly (Living in the UK, I might as well see America properly whilst I’m there), but I’m determined :)

Fingers crossed this year is our year! :D

I actually did this in 2006… I went to Las Cruces with my friends for a few days and I hit up the warped tour! It was so hot outside but looking back on it, it was so worth it. I got to see some amazing bands for a really good price. Sometimes it was hard to enjoy the show because of all the crowd surfers but it was worth it especially if you have never been before and you like the bands that are playing.
