A Pointless Update Post
I haven't done much creative writing lately. Apologies to B-Muffin and the band for that. My juices just aren't flowing at the moment. Wow, that did not sound obscene at all...
Anyway, hopefully Warped Tour will inspire me. There will be a major post after that with pictures and a review. You have no idea how pumped I am! Why can't it be Friday already???
So, this post is going to be all about what I expect to see at Warped tour on Friday.
I don't get why everyone is saying that the lineup is crappy this year. Personally, it's only my third year going, but these are some of the best bands I've heard of playing... It's a pop-punker's paradise:
All Time Low (!!!!!!!!)
Hit The Lights(!!!!!x2)
3oh!3
Forever The Sickest Kids
A Day To Remember
Sing It Loud
Nevershoutnever! (not on my priority list... he's a little too calm for my warped wants)
The Maine (also not a priority. saw them on the AP tour, and they weren't that great. plus, John O comes off to me as a D-bag)
etc....
I'm most excited for All Time Low, Hit The Lights, and our hometown heroes showing some Saginaw pride, Your Best Friend. Absolutely STOKED to see them on this tour! They deserve it. I'm definitely not missing their set. Well, unless All Time Low is playing around the same time. Sorry, John, Dale, Steve, and Nick, but I see you all the time! And I've yet to witness the awesome sickness that is ATL live.
Yet another band I'm excited for is a little trio I discovered while browsing the net this morning.... TAT.
Gosh, they are amazing! I'm not usually into straight-up punk rock, but there's something about this band that makes me want to get in the middle of a pit and dance my ass off. I don't know why I'm so attracted to bands with female lead singers. Hm...
*sigh*
Tatiana DeMaria.
I am going to marry that woman.
Bottom line, explore bands you've never heard of. It can't hurt you... Well, unless you accidentally type in "Brokencyde" or "Millionaires" into google. That stuff will make your ears bleed. =X
In one night, TAT have moved themselves to the top of my priority list for Warped Tour '09. This is why:
Reason #2 for being stoked:
The plan for Friday is to pick B-muffin up at around 6am, get some breakfast, preferably a #11 from McDonald's, drive to Detroit, park in a safe lot so I do not have a repeat of losing my car like last year, wait in line and talk to the bands selling their CDs to us while we wait, get into Comerica, be forced to wait some more, and try to catch as many sets as possible. Then maybe before we drive home, we'll scope out where the buses park.
Comerica is seriously one of the best places Warped stops. It's never really that crowded, and it's in a parking lot, a HUGE parking lot, so the stages aren't that close to each other. Plus, most of the merch tents are kept inside the stadium, so if it rains, that means less trouble for the hard working merch kids and volunteers.
I really hope it doesn't rain. TV5 says there's a 30% chance, but I'm praying. Warped has been getting crappy weather everywhere this year.
And now I'm rambling, so that means it is time to say goodnight... Erm, morning.
