Warped tour NC!

New york city skyline is in the foreground and it looks overwhelmingly majestic.

Warped tour was pretty incredible and had such a good atmosphere, the occassional rain shower was an inconvinence but hey what can you do, when your out of the UK rain feels better (not...)

This was my little schedule i typed into my phone.
12.15 hit the lights. smart punk
1.15 scary kids. hurley
1.55 less than jake main
2.15 ftsk smart punk
2.55 chiodos main
4.55 oath main
6.15 adaytoremember hurley
7.55 all time low main
8.30 gallows hurly

its all in short hand but it wont take a genius to decipher. Saw some other bands inbetween but retched at the brokencyde audience giving them the time of day... I guess i'll have to wait till maybe chicago to throw piss at them.

Bouncing Souls and Less Than Jake were a pleasing start to the day and provided ample entertainment. When a band forces a fat girl onto stage for yawning during a song to be subjected to ultimate humiliation deserve a trophey (thanks less than jake).

forever the sickest kids were pretty dissapointed, the new song sounded like trashy pop electro. They were choreographed and dressed like last seasons topman advert.

Meg and Dia were a perfect soundtrack to resting, her voice will never cease to enthrall me.

Jefere Star made me want to tear my own skin off but i can't help to admit a liking for 'starstruck'.

Underoath were more impressive that the last time i saw them, i think based on the few hopes i had for them but standard jesus speech aside they played a great set.

A day to remember are failing to surpass me anymore in a live sense. I still really enjoy all their recordings just nothings really new in the past few times i've seen them.

jamie and I headed over to 3oh!3 under the instruction of some girls which was at first a letdown but progressed further on.

finally All Time Low was the last set i caught proving a perfect end to the day. I may well have been the only 20 year old male in a 10 meter radius but they performed effortlessly tight and full of humour! The new stuff is catchy and another good american pop punk album

On route out we caught Gallow's last couple of songs which were being performed in the crowd, no surprise. I felt pain for Frank as im sure his opinion matched mine at the grimmace display of hardcore dancers and metal kids.

Since leaving warped we've been waiting on the most painstaking greyhound service ever. Ill save writing about it because it deosnt really matter. Met some cool guys on the bus and formed our own multi racial united nations... Our first matter of business to attend to will be alcohol and parties when and if they get there asses to london.

I've realised over the past week how little money is needed to enjoy myself. Positive company is basically the lifeline, whether its the people i'm with or people i meet. I was somewhat apprehensive before this trip that i would feel left out to an extent or not be able to get what i want because i don't have the money. I've even sensed a constant guilty desire from some people to hear that i ended up in the deep-end or to admit a fail, regret or 'i wish i...'

Well its nothing like that, im comfortable on still a decent amount of money and having the absolute time of my life without a single frown so far!
