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 50: BOISE, ID

For the 50th day of tour things started to get pretty bittersweet. Homestretch, 3 shows left and then adios. Boise, Idaho is where we stopped for our first show back out of California. I caught sets from typical tour acts like The Word Alive and Mike Posner, but a big surprise was in store when I wondered by the Kevin Says stage during The Bots set. The kids, literally KIDS, were jamming so hard that I spyed a few members of The Dillenger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die lurking in the crowd. Watch the video and decide for yourself, but that's some serious backage. I also hung out with my friends Jersey from Hey Monday and Brian from The Summer Set. After a long discussion about press and interviews Jersey decided he wanted to "interview" Brian about some things... Way to be a good sport B, way to be.

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 29: St. Petersburg, FL

I wonder how many giant storms or hurricanes one tour can run into? Well, we are racking them up for sure. The venue in St. Petersburg is beautiful and right on the water. I started the day off by hitting up the beach area with my friend Josh from Confide before the storm broke in. Right as doors were opening it was obvious that we were about to get dumped on. I went to check out You Me At Six's set and then the rain really came in. Thanks to the dude who fixed my flip cam with a bunch of tape, it worked enough to throw in a ziploc bag and film a little bit for you guys. I wasn't able to take out my normal video or still cameras because of the weather, so no photos today, sorry. Check out the storm, and Pierce The Veil's poncho superhero trend below. Oh and by the way, it IS possible to walk a hole through rainboots.

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.
