July 25th was a good day. i went to warped tour with Jandro. Emily was going to come but she couldnt becuase her dad said no! i was upset.
Warped tour was really rad. i saw Less Than Jake, Billy Talent, The Casualties, Cartel, Thurday, Sences Fail, Greely Estates, HelloGoodbye, and NOFX.
Less Than Jake gave a grand preformance. they sound no different then the record. i moshed and body surfed and then i got tired of that and went up on the hill. as luck would have it, people started a circle skank around a tree! it was so kool! i had to join in so i did so and we all ended up trampling some poor lady and so we stopped and she moved and then some guy yelled, "PARTY!" and then we started again. they had a leaf blower with toilet paper on the end and the shot it into the crowd. that was really kool.
Billy Talent also gave a grand preformance. they are from canada. i love that guys voice. they played some songs from their new album and it was really good. i liked it and i immediately downloaded it when i got home. they gave a good preformance but they could stand to give a better show. he didnt talk to the crowd that much.
the casualties were very good aslo. this was my first time seeing them and that music is some hardcore punk right there. i loved it. moshing was great for that show. after two songs, the bassist ran off the stage and bought a beer and then came back and drank it on stage. that was pretty kool.
Cartel....they were a dissapointment. he cannot sing as well as he can on the album. they were boring and they arent popular enough to havea big stage. jandro and i didnt even stay for the whole preformance. if you've heard one emo pop band, you've heard them all...
thursday was good but i only caught the last few songs of their set and they were ok. i dont really know much by them.
Senses Faill was CRAZY! the body surfers were Overwhelming. one after the other. i was up there a few times. i dont think i really payed attention to the preformance becuase the crowd was fucking awesome.
Greely estates was playing very well. i didnt really watch them but i definately heard them. they played well. i got their autographs later at their tent on a piece of paper that i found on the ground. they are nice fellows.
Hellogoodbye can sure give a show. they preformed at a sub-par level but boy did they get a crowd pumped. Touchdown was their last song and they extended it and brought out five guys dressed like hotdogs, pizzas, and bananas. then the ENERGIZER BUNNY! came out and danced. then the lead singer got a raft and mounted it and surfed it out into the crowd! that was hella dank shit!
NOFX was a dissapointment. i thought it was going to be a good punk show but they opened with a piece-of-shit song and then played ska stuff. the last few songs were good punk but i wasnt about to go moshing becuase there was a 6'7 tall fat guy in there running around. he had already plowed through me once and it hurt like hell and my shoulder still hurts from it.
we left after NOFX and went to taco bell. that was yummy. we went homeand then me and jandro discussed our day to eachother and then i drove him home. i came home and at 12:30 some dick decided to TP my house...why the fuck do you TP a house DEEP in a neighborhood at 12 fucking 30? my mom went out and picked up some stuff and then a white jetta drove by real slow and stopped at the corner for a good 45 seconds and then i had the bright idea to chase after him. i almost got him and then i lost him becuase he got to far ahead of me and i got stopped by a red light...kind of anti-climactic |
