DAY 52: Portland, OR

All good things come to an end whether you want them to or not. The feelings seemed to be pretty mixed on that exact subject as I talked with many of the bands from this years line up. Let's play a game called how many bands can you fit in one video, deal? Check out what Hey Monday, Pierce The Veil, Eyes Set To Kill, Fake Problems, The Cab, We Are The In Crowd, Andrew WK, Confide, Closure In Moscow, You Me At Six, Iwrestledabearonce, Breathe Electric, Anarbor, Mayday Parade, Mike Posner, Versaemerge, and more had to say about the tour coming to a close in the video below. I have had an amazing summer, thank you all so much for following along with me. Thanks especially to those of you who I met at your stops that came and said hello. I hope you all had the time of your lives as well and who knows, maybe I'll catch you again next year. A few photos of me and some of my best friends from this tour goofing off and saying goodbyes are also down there under the video. Until next year, adios.

DAY 51: George, WA

Second to last day of tour. George, Washington... yes, really. The venue was called The Gorge, and I am not sure I have ever heard a more fitting name for a place. The scenery was absolutely beautiful but the incline was no joke. Everyone had to load in and out on a really steep hill which caused for some really close calls with losing carts and such. The Glamour Kills and AP Advent stages were housed in an ampitheater down at the bottom while other booths and stages remained at the top. I checked out Rev Peyton's Big Damn Band after they told me they would be having an "All Star Jam" during their last song. They weren't kidding. Members from The Pretty Reckless, Reel Big Fish, The Casualties, Haste The Day, Andrew WK, and more flooded the stage for the bands hit "Two Bottles of Wine." The crowd went crazy and everyone was having a blast. After that I caught up with Alesana, and You Me At Six who had Tay Jardine do guest vocals during their set. Check it all out below.

DAY 35: Milwaukee, WI

Everyone was so stoked on Milwaukee as soon as we stepped off the buses. The weather
was incredible, I got to wear shorts and a big comfy flannel all day! Loved it so much. I started out the day by touring around the venue with my bud Caleb Shomo from Attack Attack. We checked out some crazy buildings and the gorgeous view behind the Skullcandy stage. Then I checked in on the ampitheater and caught lunch with The Cab and Anarbor. Spoiler alert, Greg shaved his head! I swung by the press room where Andrew WK gave me a nice update on how he feels the tour is going, and Pierce The Veil also said hello. I saw Ice Nine Kills on the Kevin Says Stage for the first time and played this awkward iPad game with Dave at the Fearless tent. Check it all out below.

DAY 15: Toronto, Canada

Today was my first experience in Canada and I have to say, you fans are crazzzy. I spent most of the day bouncing around with my buds The Cab, while they played, signed, and watched some of our friends sets. I also caught Andrew WK, Pierce The Veil and the end of NeverShoutNever. Even though the border crossing, rain, and exchange rate seemed to get everyone off to a rough start spirits were really high today and everyone got time away from all the technology and just hung out. No phones and internet can sometimes be a beautiful thing. So glad I have met some of the best people in the world on this tour, it makes days like today so much fun. Check out a few photos below and my video recap, see you in the morning Montreal.

DAY 4&5: Phoenix, AZ

Day 4 was an off day for us in Phoenix, Arizona and 15 bands from this years Warped Tour line up took time out on our day off in Phoenix, AZ to bowl for the TJ Martell Charity. Motion City Soundtrack took first with The Summer Set in second, check out the video below:


Day 5 was also in Phoenix for the tour stop, it was a rough day on everyone because it was 110 and super dry. I saw entirely too many people get sick, and most people spent the day hiding on their buses. Here are a few photos from the day. The Last set of the night was The Pretty Reckless. Charles and Joey from The Cab and I kicked up our feet and checked it out from the ampitheater, such a solid set. I swung by the Vans tent a few times and checked in with our boys. Got sunscreened up with Miss Tay Jardine, and tried to avoid the crazy sun, Phoenix you guys are troopers.
