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 46 & 47: San Diego, CA

Wow internet has been a nightmare this week. So many fun things have been going on and I haven't even been able to show you guys! Day 46 was an off day in Vegas. My bus and a few others stayed at the Green Valley Resort and it was awesome. My friends Jess Bowen, Joel Piper, and I hung out by the pool for a good half of the day for some much needed R&R. I caught dinner later in the evening and even played a little roulette... well tried too at least. In the end only left Vegas down about $20 and I am pretty sure I spent three quarters of it on frozen yogurt haha. Great day off though, early bus call and on to San Diego. Once we got there, it was immediatley clear that the day was going to be crazy. So many friends and family out because being back in California means being close to home for tons of people on this tour. I caught my friends Pierce The Veil's hometown set and man were you guys stoked! They always have great crowds, but seeing them at home was really crazy. After that I headed over to the Kia tent to check out Derek from Mayday Parade doing some acoustic songs for a big group of fans, and last but not least I met up with Street Sweper Social Club to chat for a few then watched their set. Definitely a tour favorite for me, their set is so much fun... I mean they do an M.I.A. cover, how can you resist? Oh and another big tour moment was on it's way that night. Micah Dean was throwing his annual dance party and it was a Saved By The Bell theme this year... More on that tomorrow.

DAY 39: Bonner Springs, KS

Day 39 was in Bonner Springs which is near Kansas City. It was a strange venue, the ampitheater wasn't covered and it was pretty freaking hot. I definitely increased my ridiculous tan lines. i think I will permanately have a Vans Lo Pro line on my feet as well as a tank top line on my shoulders haha. The crazy thing about this day is that for me it really set in how close we are to the end. The time is seriously flying by so fast, only 13 days left and I think four of them are off/driving days... insanity. So before I dwell on that too long and get really bummed, on to Canada! It's going to take us two days to drive there so you better be ready Edmonton.

DAY 37: Chicago, IL

Chicago was a fun one. I helped collect some signed pieces of equiptment for a charity auction, watched a few sets including my buds Of Mice and Men, and hung out in the press room a lot. There was no video allowed in the venue again today so I brought you guys some clips from behind the scenes instead. Watch the video below to hear from Never Shout Never, Closure In Moscow, Set Your Goals, and more. On to Minesota tomorrow, I hear we will be back in the heat... bummer.

DAY 34: Cincinnati, OH

After the Eco clean up day yesterday, those who did it were pretty tired in Cincinnati. The seven day stretch of tour dates and extra hot weather had everyone kind of on edge. The venue was cool because there were two ampitheaters and the Main stage was in one while the AP/Advent and Glamour Kills stages rotated in the other. It was really hot again, so luckily that left lots of room for kids to cool off. I caught sets from Emmure, Four Year Strong, and The Word Alive, as well as some acoustic things happening in the Kia tent and Girlz Garage. Here are a few photos from the day. Back to video tomorrow in Milwaukee!

DAY 31: Orlando, FL

Orlando was awesome, I met a lot of you guys too! The day started off with me swinging by the main Vans tent at the perfect time to accidentally meet Team America (or something like that...) My really good friends The Cab kicked off the sets and got moved to the main stage for the day and had a great crowd. Brian from The Summer Set also joined them on stage for one song. I hung out with Sierra from VersaEmerge in her trailer, and then met Tanner from Disco Curtis who closed things out by playing an acoustic song just for you guys.

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 27: Virginia Beach, VA

I'd venture to say that this was the hottest day of the tour so far, but since I'm delayed in writing this and already experienced yesterday, it's getting worse each day now. In Virginia Beach we had some super soaker fights, tried to hide from the sun in tents, checked in on Dillinger Escape Plan and Cerebral Ballzy's sets, said hello to Attack Attack at their signing, and watched my busmate Matt play drums with Ace Enders. It was awesome because we had talked about that song and our mutual love for Ace's previous band The Early November many, many times. The weather started wearing everyone down and it will only get worse as we venture back down South and into Florida. I also shot a few stills at my good friends The Cab's set. Check it all out below:
