WARPED!

Ok, so we got to the venue around 10, then walked around for a while trying to figure out where the line ended, then saw the Punk Junk tent and donated so we wouldn't have to wait. So we cut the line and got in around 1030. The bag checks were so pathetic. I opened my bag, he saw my water and asked if it was sealed and he let me in. He didn't even look haha.

1230 Then went and looked at set times, and there weren't many conflicts, so I was happy. Saw From First To Last because I didn't really have anything better to do, and they put on a really good set. I thought they would just play a bunch of new stuff, but they only played two. Matt said they should just keep playing all day because that would be more fun, but they'd probably get kicked off the tour. And they were talking about how they look creepy, but they're really not and Derek is the creepiest.

1255 Then I went over to The Color Fred's set, but I missed the beginning because of FFTL. I don't know his stuff very well, so I didn't really care. Fred said he would be at their tent after their set, so I decided to go to that since no one I wanted to see was playing for another hour. So I went and met him and he was really sweet.

230 Went and saw Anberlin and they were really good. I couldn't get any decent pictures because they move so much haha. But yeah, they won the extra ten minutes, so I thought that was pretty cool. Stephen started saying we should all go see Say Anything after their set, but then everybody else in the band was saying Max was sick, so they weren't playing, and I was pretty gutted about that. They were filming for a video, too, so that should be pretty cool. I really suck with their song titles, so this is probably all wrong haha.

I ran into a MCS signing at the Myspace tent on my way to BTT and took a few pics. I just saw them from them back and recognized them from Justin's hair haha.

410 Between The Trees was supposed to play at 330, but their set got changed, so I just waited and the Ernie Ball stage for their set. The band before them was old school punk, and they were like "We want all of you guys to come up here, even if you're here for the f*cking tree band." But yeah, they finished and BTT went up and started setting up. They played an acoustic set because I guess Brad quit the day before. Ryan's guitar wasn't working or something so they got started a little late. Ryan played a little part I Wanna Grow Old With You when they were warming up, and that pretty much made my life. Then they got started and I loved their set. Ryan got really out of tune somehow in the middle, and he was trying to tune and Wes was talking and it was really funny. Then Ryan said he would just play like that, and Wes was like "No, I got this." They were my favorite. After their set, I went to their tent for their signing. The girl in front of me just bought a CD and wanted them to sign it and she gave it to Wes with the plastic still on and he couldn't get it off and Jeremy was making fun of him. Ryan was using a silver sharpie and Wes was telling him not to waste it and Ryan was like "It doesn't work that well anyway" so I gave him my sharpie to use instead.

510 Dan swore sooo much. He came on and was like "How are you f*cking doing? We're f*cking Story Of The Year! F*ck f*ck f*ck." Then later he was talking about how we were almost Canadian since we were in Minnesota. "I'm not f*cking Canadian!" I don't remember their set list, so yeah I don't know.

530 Got in line for the Anberlin signing as soon as I was done at BTT. Story Of The Year and Motion City were playing right by us, so that was cool. We got through the line and I swear Stephen is the happiest person I saw all day. He was really smiley and nice.

540 After I got my stuff signed by Anberlin, I went closer to the stage for Motion City Soundtrack set. When I was on my way up, Justin was saying everyone should make a rhombus pit and something about leaving if we didn't know what a rhombus was haha I love them. Then I saw the guy I met at The Almost show in June and sent the pictures and that was really random.

610 Went to Main Stage Right for Cobra and got a pretty good spot. I was really excited for their set and they were asm. They came out to some rap song and Gabe was dancing. Then they went into The City Is At War. Gabe was talking about how Justin Pierre punched him in the face when he was in Midtown and how diverse Warped was now and he wouldn't have been able to get away with wearing pink pants (even though they were purple) a few years ago. I'm not really sure what happened, but Alex threw his bass or something because his strap broke and he ran around the back to grab a different one and Gabe was making fun of him because his stuff always breaks. Lipski was blowing bubbles during their set. William came out for SOAP and Sisky did the rap.

640 Travis and Gabe came out and some point, I don't remember what songs. Nothing really exciting happened during their set.

Summer Hair = Forever Young

740 Travie said something like "How many of you have heard of us? & how many of you know us as the band with the song about the girlfriend?... At least you're honest." He makes the best faces while they play, it's quite amusing.

810 Last set of the night - Relient K. I'm sure Matt said a ton of funny stuff, but I really can't think of anything right now. At the end of their set, Matt jumped down in front of the barrier and he was still down there after their set and I was gonna try and get him to sign something, but there were too many people.

I started heading toward the car since that was it, and I saw DeJesus, so I decided to take a detour through the buses, which ended up being a very good idea since I ended up meeting Derek from FFTL and Sisky from TAI. I was walking through and I saw Derek, and I stood there for like five minutes trying to find a sharpie and my camera haha I felt really stupid. Then I went up to him and got a picture and he signed my bag and he was really sweet. Then I kept walking and I saw Sisky and Jack from ATL. There were a few people around Sisky, but most people were there for Jack, so I was pretty happy about that. Then right when I got up to Sisky to get a picture and have him sign my bag, some people came up and said they were looking for him on the bus, so I didn't get anything. =[ But I still met him and had an asm day, so I can't really complain.
