AHHH Warped Tour was fabulous. Definitely one of the best days of my life for sure.
Friday night I couldn't get to sleep...I was just too excited for words to describe.
We woke up at 7:00 and got ready..ate breakfast...got our bags and then we were off. We got on the train at Ronkonkoma station and had to switch once. We then got tickets for a bus which we never took. So we took a taxi which took forever because of the traffic. I was so worried because I saw the line to get into the venue and it was ginormous. We waited on line for what seemed like forever. I was freaking out a little bit because I was afraid that I wasn't gonna get to see Patent Pending perform. The venue started at 12:00..well that's what my ticket said..and Patent Pending started at fricken 11:00. What the fuck is that? So we left for the bathroom and that was almost as long as the line to get in. We heard one of the policemen say that the venue was sold out so I called my brother to make sure he had tickets. He did and he wasn't even at Randall's Island yet. He left at 9:30. So we finally got in at like 1:30 and we just didn't know what to do..adrenaline was pumping...we walked around to try to find a schedual of some sort. We saw the main stages and I heard a familiar song and it was Sugarcult so I said "Oh my god..that's Sugarcult". So we ran over to the stage and took some pictures. The girls in front of us were crazy. They were definitely younger. At least they were having fun but I couldn't fucking see. So I yelled at them but they couldn't hear. We started walking around again and I found Patent Pending's tent and I bought a t-shirt and their CD for $10. Very nice deal. We all got free patches. Then we went back to the main stage. We saw a guy wearing a Patent Pending t-shirt and I asked him if they performed yet and he said yeah, they were the first ones on. I said "Crrap. And then the girl next to him told me that they'd be walking around all day so that lighted my spirits a little bit. We stuck around there to watch The International Noice Conspiracy and without knowing it until we all got pushed around and hit from behind that a mosh pit had formed right behind us. I was sort of worried but I was okay. The I.N.C was grrreat. I loved them. I got a close up picture of the lead singer because he was pretty much on the crowd. After they were finished 3 people left the bariorcade so we took their places. We thought New Found Glory was on next on that stage but they were next door and we found out Flogging Molly was next. We never really were that close to the stage so we stuck around. Suddenly the drummer of INC threw his drum sticks into the crowd and Briggette caught one. Oh god was sticking around a mistake. Instantly the crowd started pushing upwards. We were getting crushed against the bariorcade. Then we made an effort to leave the crowd. The security gaurds were just laughing. Stupid cunts. While trying to get out people were crushing me. Thankfully there were a few nice people that helped me out. I had to get watery-eyed first. It took a really long time to find Marissa. We text messaged her and told her to meet us at the big Vans schedual sign. Then we decided to see if we could get any pictures of New Found Glory. There was this really tall guy next to me and saw that I was struggling to get a picture so he offered to get one for me. Nice people there I must say. Funny drunk people too. Like on the train there was this one guy who said "It's 10 AM. AND IM WASTED". But anyway..then we went to get some autographs from Sugarcult at the Hot Topic tent. They were all so nice, especially Ken. He said "Hi, How are you? Have a good Warped experience". Nice boys...good looking boys too. While waiting on that line we missed Tacking Back Sunday and Matchbook Romance. I was singing along to Matchbook though. After that we found Matt and Mr. Brodbeck and we went into the Thursday crowd. My back and feet were killing me so I was to see if the P-Unit boys were around at their tent. I found my brother and I was talking to him for a little bit. I saw Joe Ragosta first and I had a teeny moment. Then I saw Michael and was stalking him for a few minutes because he started walking away..then I lost him in the crowd. I sat down for a few minutes and looked around. I think I saw Brett Conyers and his brother and other people. Marissa and Brigette found me and we left to go to Story of the Year. Well, they said they would meet me at the Vans sign. So I went into the crowd and made my threw. I instantly got pushed around and finally into the mosh pit. I got elbowed in the forhead and I think I hit somebody in the face. Then I got out and left to try to find Marissa. I found them and we walked around a few booths to get free stuff. I didn't buy much of anything. Dissapointing yes but I ended up with $20 at the end of the day. We decided not to see Yellowcard and leave. We took a bus to the station and we were 30 minutes early. So we went to Subway and got some sandwiches. Then we came back and waited. We got on the train and all was good. Brigette was making many new friends. Kenan and two other Mexican Boys. All was well. Warped Tour was one of the best days of my life. Even though I swallowed so much smoke and dirt that my lungs feel like shit and my boogers were black. I was covered in dirt from head to toe. Good times.

I can't wait till next year.

Also, I saw Dave Gurtman. And people were walking around all day giving out free stuff. I have a million flyers..I got a Fuse washable tattoo...gum..a slim jim [grrross].

I love Warped Tour.

But I don't like Randall's Island and its dirt.
