Warped Tour 2012 Wrap up from me

So myself and my interviewer had press passes to interview a couple bands. Some shit had happened and we couldn’t do the two interviews we were told we would have but whatever. The doors opened at 11 and Man Overboard started at  11:20 so I went and saw that awesomeness. Then I walked over to the Music Saves Lives thing and turned my voucher into a backstage pass which I didn’t use  cause I had press passes to go where I needed too. I then was dying of dehydration already so I went and got water and watched The Used. I originally didn’t plan to see them but there was a spot open close to the barricade so I just took it. I had to basically put a hose with water in my throat with how hot it was getting. (It got up to 107 from what I was told) Then I went and saw the lovely Anti-Flag and there was a free spot against the barricade so I enjoyed my lovelys for the 6th time there. I have a video I’ll be posting on my news blog of the circle pit and some of Death of a Nation. Then for a good hour I laid on the palace floor and tried not to die again because of the sun feeling like it was a foot away from us. After that I went and enjoyed some New Found Glory and watched my nostalgia fill in and after they finished I went to the press area to do our interviews. Mod Sun is definitely someone to talk to if you can. Also the Bangups were some super chill guys who just loved what they did and had nothing but passion about what they did. I’ll have their interview up tomorrow hopefully. Then there was Breathe Carolina, The Ghost Inside and Rise Against. At that point I just limped to my car and sat there for 40 mins dying. 

That was my Warped Tour in a super long paragraph with lots of grammar errors.

Warped Tour information for July 6th at the Palace of Auburn Hills!

If you’re heading to Warped Tour tomorrow. The parking opens at 8am. I am 90% sure it’s $15 to park like all concerts there. It’s going to be 100 degrees so if you’re going to be dumb and not drink water then stay close to a medical tent at least. No one likes to carry bodies out of the crowd. Water refills free at Klean Kanteen. Tip your merch guy!
