WARPED TOUR.

tonetti picked me up around 1130ish and we were off to the virginia beach ampitheater! i went with kevin to buy his ticket, and all we saw were sceeene kids and people with mohawks. i saw the weirdest peircings and the most ridiculous tattoos.

we met up with michael,ronnie,fergie. i think thats it. then we headed over to the KIA tent where we got air brushed tattoos, made a 20 second video, and got free vip passes to the main stage. while we were in line for the tattoos, nghia, andrew, kim, and jc met us up. andrew, kim, jc, fergie left with michael ronnie and tonetti after they made their video. me and fergie tried getting into their video but they pushed us out. i made a video with nghia. all i said was NGHIA IS A CAVEMAN.

after that me and nghia saw jor and his friends and we went to the main stage with them where chiodos was performing. i saw laurence! i also saw myles, and he let me sit on his shoulders through two of their songs. scott was there too. after that i went on the main stage vip place with nghia and ariane, the view from there was really really nice. while all time low started their first song, i went to look for rochelle with nghia.

rochelle and i met up with andrew, marlon, and jc at the hurley stage where saosin was performing. the guy in front of us was smoking weed, that was horrible. their first song was seven years. it was funny being with marlon cause he was screaming most of the time. they played some songs off of their new album, and marlon was like wtf is this!? they played you're not alone, and that was my favorite song they performed because the entire crowd was singing along and it was just magical. they said they were going to perform two more songs after that but they only performed one so everyone was pissed. oh yeah, someone threw a water bottle at marlon when he was screaming, hahah.

we made our way back to the main stage vip place and sat in the blazing sun, and underoath was performing. i dont think theyre that great live, aha. we looked at some merchandise, walked around.me, jc, and marlon bought fueled by ramen shirts, only cause they were 5 bucks and looked coool. michael, tonetti, ronnie, jimmy , jor were waiting in line for the meg and dia signing androchelle, jc, kim, fergie, daniel and i just waited. then we took pictures with me, dia, carlo, and the drummer guy haha. after that, me and rochelle got lost.

then we went to the ampitheater to watch this one band, the senses fail. honestly, senses fail wasn't that great. after that, rochelle and i bought bracelets, and she got a bbycakes shirt! ive always wanted one, but i was running out of cash after buying drinks, which were hella expensive. the british chick who was the vendor like my shirt, hehe. while walking back to the apitheater, we were mobbed by bands who were trying to get their music out. me and rochelle promised one band we'd come back, and that band was sparks will fly. they were the nicest and sweetest band out of the others. we went back to the ampitheater and sat down for a bit before meg and dia performed. i forgot who performed for them but i saw haleybob! and lizzy! oh yeah, before that i saw sam bowman, angelo, and brandon day! sam bowman reminds me of brandon day a lot, haah. then we went up to the stage with everyone for meg & dia. the whole time i was moving around and swaying, not a lot of people were doing that though, but oh well. they first did black wedding, are there giants too in the dance, what if, MONSTER- which was my favorite song they performed cause its my favorite meg and dia song and the whole crowd up there was singing along and i was moving a lot more, another song i forgot, and another song of which i forgot.

after that we just followed jc and them. we sat down by the hurley stage for a bit and me and rochelle decided to buy more stuff. she bought a shirt for patrick and we bought the sparks will fly ep. then we saw marlon, tonetti, and michael. we were walking back to the ampitheater and michael left .

at the ampitheater, forever the sickest kids were playing. tonetti and marlon left after being in the crowd . rochelle's friend was crowd surfing and she lost her phone so rochelle had to help her find it. so i was left alone, people watching. but it was alright. it was about time to go - i was gonna go with rochelle and her friend, christelle.

i didn't go home with them because the person who brought them there was wasted and she was going to drive - without a permit or license. shes only 14. so haaaail no i did not trust her, i didnt even know her. so everyone else left, i assumed my parents were out so i decided to call kirby, he was the first one that popped into my head. and he did drop us off. before dropping me off, we had a very very brief conversation.

when i got home i took a shower, and now i am recapping my day and my feet and toes and legs and knees hurt. i really hope my mother does not wake me up tomorrow.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM MY EXPERIENCE AT WARPED TOUR:

-BRING YOUR OWN FOOD AND WATER. LOTS OF WATER.
-it's handy to bring a tote bag, so you or your friends dont have to carry stuff around.
-wearing hi tops was a very good idea because the ground had loose dirt and rocks.
-you cannot be by yourself.
-be sure to have someone reliable drive you home- legally.
-it's nice to have a tall friend who would let you ride on their shoulder.

my first experience at warped tour was nice, except for the end but it's okay! i hope the line up is better next year, then i'll surely go.
