DAY 48: Pomona, CA

A late night dance party went down in San Diego last night and there is plenty of video from that. I should warn that things got a little bit crazy and may be a little bit PG-13... sorry but I really can't control the masses at a Saved by The Bell themed dance party. After all the madness everyone was pretty tired for a huge show in Pomona. I checked in on a few friends sets and hung out with some people that came out from the Vans office. Only a few days left.

DAY 30: West Palm Beach, FL

My good friend Ashley came out for the day and we had tons of fun seeing lots of sets and meeting some of you guys. Ashley had never been to Warped Tour or anything like it really so it was fun showing her around and watching all of my friends sets. Extra hot and sweaty as Florida always is, but surprisingly no rain! After the crazy storm the day before everyone was expecting it to continue I think, but it fooled us. Ash and I took a friend of hers little sister on stage to see her favorite band Bring Me The Horizon and it was really cool, she was stoked and it was fun to watch. That night Britt who does merch for The Cab told us all about some haunted house near the venue and everyone went on a search, when I say everyone I literally mean like 35 people haha the group kept growing the farther we walked but no such house was found of course... I goofed and plugged my camera in wrong in my bunk the night before so it didn't actually charge. So unfortunately it died before the hunt, but here is a short video from the day for you guys:

DAY 28: Charlotte, NC

Alright, now I don't want to keep starting these things off the same, but oh my god was it freaking hot... Now that I have gotten that out of my system, check out the video and photos below. I gave my friend Shaun a haircut, caught Cassadee singing with Travis during We The Kings set, and hung out in press where a very funny and mildly awkward group interview was taking place involving Conditions, We Are The In Crowd, and Artist Vs Poet. I also met Stella from Dirty Little Rabbits, checked in on all of our boys at the main Vans tent, and learned what "tour appreciation day" consists of. At the end of the day I watched my bud Ross from Confide do guest vocals with Bring Me The Horizon... Oh and did I mention the 90's tunes 10 minute dance party? Well... you'll see. On to Florida... and into another hurricane.

DAY 9: Dallas, TX

Day 9, Dallas. Well... it didn't rain the entire day, and it wasn't a mudpit. That didn't stop it from falling out on us once though... It was a really hot normal warped tour day until about 5 PM, then the rain happen to hit just as our new buds Bring Me The Horizon were about to take the stage. The crowd was crazy! But before we get to that, I stopped by their bus and went to a signing with them so you guys can check out what a day on the tour is like for them. Which other bands on the tour would you like to follow around for a day? Language Warning, tour quotes and onstage sets can be a little unpredictable.

DAY 8: Houston, TX

Ok, so basically we just THOUGHT the weather was rough in San Antonio. SA you got nothin on Houston. Thanks to Hurricane Alex out in the gulf we got pretty slammed, but as they say the show goes on... and it did. After about noon there was just no hope in being dry for the rest of the day, and seeing as doors didn't open til 1... well you guys can do that math. It was a hometown show for me and I was stoked to have some of my family and friends out. My mom was such a trooper, she even watched Bring Me The Horizon on stage as the last set at 10:15 last night. I fully embraced the mud pit... err... venue, and just went for having as much fun as possible. That being said, coverage from yesterday is pretty lacking pouring rain and crazy wind don't go so well with cameras. The bands were super amped on how many of you guys were still out there though and I saw so many crazy stage antics. Every Time I Die joined the tour yesterday as well and I think pretty much everyone was stoked on that. Backstage area was a madhouse of sopping wet bands, managers, and press, but nobody seemed to be too down. Here are a few pics from the drive the night before hanging with Confide, Artist Vs Poet, and We Are The In Crowd, a few from the morning before the weather got too crazy, and a few cell phone snaps... also a learned fact from the day, those little half sized ziploc bags make excellent phone rain cases. To bad it doesn't fit my camera hahah.
