Warped Tour 05

[reverie]

I know some other people here are going or have already gone, so here's a place to discuss it.
Here's my experience of it.
Well, yesterday I went to Warped Tour. There were ups and downs. Let me list the downs first.
-It was bloody hot.
-I sweat more than I ever have in my entire life.
-I didn't meet anyone.
-I had a cold.
-I got a killer headache.
-And I got so sunburnt that now I look like a lobster.
Yeah, all that sucked major butt.
But now here's the full synopsis.
Well, we got there at about 12 something, i can't remember the exact time. Then me and my friend went to the Bishop stage were all the bands I wanted to see were playing. Except for Avenged Sevenfold. They played at the stage next to it. I didn't get to see A7x because they started playing while I was watching another band, and they ended right before MCR came on. The first band I saw was the Starting Line, I don't really like them that much but oh well. I was in the pit, which smelled like urine. Then after them, I saw Thrice, they rocked ass. I love Thrice. Then, My Chemical Romance. Like almost everyone that was at Warped was watching them. They rocked. I was in the front on the left of the stage. The only person I couldn't see was the drummer. But Gerard was hilarious, he was dancing and sh*t. And he said it was his birthday, so we all sang to him. Then...I saw the band that was the reason I went..Atreyu.
OMG, I was so happy and singing so hard and loud that I almost puked a bunch. They were so effing awesome, I was so happy I started crying. (yes, shut up) Oh, Oh..when we were waiting for MCR to come on, I saw Brandon Saller. (Atreyu's drummer) We were on the left edge of the mosh pit, so I could see behind the stage where Atreyu's equipment was. And all of sudden...Brandon walks up to it. I was like "Holy sh*t". He stayed there through all of MCR's show. And he looked straight at me in the eyes, and I looked at him straight in the eyes. It was a moment, lol.
But yes, totally awesome. I also saw the guys from A7x walk behind the stage, too. Welll...i think that's all that happened, or at least the important stuff.

I "went" on saturday.

Let me rephrase that.

I was tortured on saturday by driving for 2 hours, standing in line for 1 hour, walking around for 1 hour trying to find where they had the times posted, seeing mcr wasn't coming on till 6:50, walking around a bit more and not able to find their booth and then having to leave without watching any of the bands.

Yeah, I'm really bitter about the whole 'experience'.

It was 99degrees and with humidity it was like 100 something. my friend couldn't handle the heat, and she certianally couldn't make it to 6:50. And even though I REALLY wanted to see mcr, I didn't want my friend to die or something. So my friend is well and I'm bitter. All about sacrifices, right?

[reverie]

I understand.
I almost didn't get to see Atreyu because my friend got sick. i was going to be so mad. But he sat & rested while I watched the band play, luckily all the ones i wanted to see were playing between 1pm and 5pm.

I almost got killed during MCR. It wasn't fun. lol.

But, I saw: Mae, Story of the Year, Senses Fail, MxPx, MCR, Motion City Soundtrack, The Dead 60's, I walked by Atreyu when they were playing, and I walked by Skindred when they were playing.

Motion City Soundtrack was by far the best performance. It was hillarious because I was sitting 2 rows behind the mother's of the guys in the band. They were rocking out and having a great time. Air drumming. Air guitaring. Hahah. It was too cool.
