    broke. beat. bruised. blistered. burnt= worth it.

    Another year of warped is over.
    What an incredible day meeting incredible people, spent with my favorite friends.
    Props to Dan and Jess: Never thought i would meet kids who could keep up with me, doing stuff no matter what, stealing, taking new things in, spending about 18 hours talking about nothing but straight music. you both are amazing, and i wouldn't have traded yesterday with you guys for anything (not even alex gaskarth...ok, well maybe. nahhhh)

    to you both- to those who dont stop: we will never sleep, sleep is for the weak, we will never rest, till we're all fuckin dead



    7am- up and ready to go
    815am- pick up jess after a quick hair fiasco
    9am- the reaction to arriving at warped tour was as expected. Screaming bloody murder for 10 minutes straight, then laughing until i couldn't breathe, screaming some more, and almost crying. We parked a mile away, no joke and walked and walked sampling all the music that the parked cars along the highway were playing, and talking to some people then finally lining up
    10am- line moves into the grounds, we take a survey, get a sweet guitar pick
    1105am- we GO INNN!!! we look at the schuedule, go see *cobra* and find DANNO!
    1145am- time to pwn. Yes, thats exactly what my team did. We hit pretty much every tent and covered everything we wanted to.
    12-3pm- this was a very busy time that all kind of blurs up. We got all our merch we wanted to (minus dans BANK! necklace =[)we got our Jac Vanek bracelets,( im obsessed) we saw Sisky ( i think i had heart palpatations and i dont understnad how i actually held a convorsation with him last year at the mall), Travie, Mayday Parade, Family FOrce 5 and Danny from the Audizzle walking around. Met a new friend keith who i keep oddly running into, saw Richie and Mike, hung with the Frantic and the DIMMeN (will<3 and craig), picketed for The Frantic, State and Madison, and Danger Is My Middle Name. Then me and jess split with dan, and while he had the most amazing time ever, we hung with Brett, picketed some more, stood by Nate Novarro, and went to go see Shwayze. When we met back up with dan he looked the way a kid looked after a harsh crowd at warped. He had this look of being beat up, with the glint of something amazing in his eye. I knew that he had just been through a tough crowd after seeing his favorite band. Kids that do that amaze me, i can't even fully discribe it all.
    520 pm- we go to see william and the DIMMeN...i havent seen them since january, they are incredible
    545pm- State and Madison for a bit, then to Family Force 5, more tearing up and then over to watch a bit of Katy Perry
    6pm- Bring me the Horizon, ok so i ve never been much of a fan of screamo/deathcore metal, whatever you want to call it. But i watched this band, and i was stunned. This little odd British man who screamed his lungs out, who watched out for his crowd, and making a WALL OF DEATH. He amazed me, it was absolutely nuts. Props to him, i love him. haha
    7pm- 3OH!3, the best crowd energy i have felt in a long time. Those boys did an incredible performance, and their music was just pumping through everyone, getting them off their feet and blowing everyone away. I danced and danced and danced. Me and jess and dan were going crazy jumping on the seats, almost falling off, and not giving a damn. After it was done me and jess just turn to eachother and scream THAT WAS AWESOMEE!!!
    730pm- after leaving 3OH!3 i really didn;t care what we did. but on the way out, ATL was doing a signing, and jess and I waved to Alex Gaskarth, and got a personal greeting back. WOO!
    8pm- time for All Time Low, and Say Anything featuring the singers from: Every Time I Die, Relient K, Motion City Soundtrack, Amberlin and maybe one more? Because Max Bemis was sick. Then we ran into William again, and we said our goodbyes. oh lord how i love him. And we talked to Brett and Kyle for a bit too, and JOHNNY MINARDI! adkfjhadfh ahhhhh.

    By 9 we were out and on the treck home, stopped at Taco bell to eat.
    On the way home we just talked about stuff, all things having to do with Music.
    went to jess's seperated our stuff, and just like that...its over. ONLY 364 days left!!!!!!!
