Warped Tour Recap
So, Ashley's mom drove us and me, her, Raya and John all packed into the car and off we went. We met up with everyone in the morning and went and got our passes, blah blah blah and they didn't even check our tickets. We went to go check in but they weren't letting people up so we gave up and then we heard FOB playing so we ran over to their stage. I guess I'm invisible because they kicked John out and let me stay there when I wasn't supposed to be there. Oops. I was really upset that I missed half their set, but whatever. Then I found Amanda and we led the way around and just hung out with everyone all day. I saw Matchbook Romance a little while later and at 3, we went to go interview Fall Out Boy. At first, I was sitting with Patrick, and it was great, but then they moved me to Pete and I gave him his bracelet and he gave us Japanese candy. He was really nice, I have to type up the interview and it was cool since I knew everyone who I was interviewing with (Michelle and John) so it was a lot easier. I hate conference style, but whatever. Then I went to go take pictures of Sugarcult and Taking Back Sunday and interviewed a drunken Tim Pagnotta at 6:30. What happened with Army of Freshmen was I went to their booth and Chris wasn't there so they told me to come back in a little while...came back, talked to Chris who remembered me and gave me a massive hug, told me to come back at six. I got lost/distracted going to their booth, didn't get there until 6:15. Told Owen I had to do an interview at 6:30 and asked if I could push it back to 7. He said fine. I got back there at 7:07 and their booth was gone. Sigh. I really wanted to interview him again too, oh well. I was supposed to interview TBS too, but they were tired and had Fuse stuff to do so they cancelled. And during the course of the day I finally saw Becca after EIGHT MONTHS wtf is that? And Jess of course. And Stephanie who I am very, very jealous of. I want to move to Hawaii, hmph. Oh, and we had just been talking about Tony Lovato then the damn duck walked by...Raya quacked at him, that was the best thing ever, I died.
So the press list was late and we were late getting in but we didn't miss anyone important. I finally saw FINCH even though I was sort of upset they played sooo many new songs, but whatever. Apparently my David Desrosiers was there, but I did not see him and was very upset because I haven't talked to him since last SEPTEMBER and that's just wrong. I took pictures of Finch, and would have taken pictures of SoCo if I hadn't wasted so much film on the GC boys. Okay, so its not really wasted, but you know what I mean. Saw Tony again a bunch, as well as everyone from the day before. Saw Benji, Joel and Billy earlier and Ash got pics with the twins. I was disappointed in the set list, and in the crowd. I bumped into a mom and she started yelling at me, so I was like okay...goes in the crowd, oops. After the show we went backstage and GC was outside their bus...got a picture with Benji where he looks like he wants to kill me, talked to Chris for a bit who was super nice, sort of making up for Benji being somewhat of an asshole. I was so close to getting my picture with Joel but then Hambone started bitching. Nice to know the AMC has t-shirts and hats. And during GC's set, kids were screaming for Josh Madden and Steven Sievers. That's great. I also saw my Rebels that day, they were amazing, as always. Played some new songs, really got their crowd going even though they were on the smallest stage and they were mentioned in the paper as a local favorite. That made me smile. I'm sure some other stuff happened but I can't really remember.
And on an ending note, I have a sunburn on top of a sunburn and my face hurts. And I have senior pictures on Monday...can you say no? I will be peeling like crazy. Ow =(.
