Warped Tour '09

This was my first time going to Warped Tour and before I went I knew exactly what to expect.........

RAIN, MUD, & TONS OF PEOPLE :) 

I only knew a couple of bands playing but was focused on seeing Forever The Sickest Kids perform and meeting them :) That was my main goal for the day!

Yes it did rain but I still had a blast! 

I went with my best friend Jessica who is also blogging about her concerts: jessmichellex3.blogspot.com :) We arrived in the area around 2:10 but didn't get to the actual venue till about 2:30 because we were lost! We walked around the venue for a little bit and then found our friend Melody!

We headed over to the stage where FTSK (short for Forever The Sickest Kids if you didn't know that already!) was playing and waited on the floor near the stage. They came on at 3:15 and played a few songs :) 




I filmed parts of each song and will put those videos up on youtube soon! Sorry, I'm behind on that.. just added about 15 videos from Honor Society/Jessie James concert!

Anyway, after ftsk finished we walked toward the merchandise tents and guess who we ran into when we got up there? Jonathan Cook from ftsk! :) Took pictures with him. He was sooo nice!




30h!3 was playing at 3:55 and by the time ftsk finished and after meeting Jonathan Cook, we had about 10 minutes to spare to find 30h!3's set! Finally found it but couldn't get to the stage. It was jam packed with people. Decided to go get in line for The Maine's signing to waste time until ftsk had their signing.

I went to get something to eat since I was dying of starvation from not eating a thing all day :/ Waited more for The Maine's signing to start. Melody and her friends decided to go volunteer to serve food for bands in catering so jessica and I stayed in line for a little bit. 

Then we realized what the heck are we doing here.. this is not a band to us, worth it enough to stand in this huge line for probably two hours.... no offense to those who are fans of The Maine hahah!

We got out of the line and sat down by the stage just to rest for a little bit.. went back to The Maine figured the line would move quickly and we had nothing else to do. After waiting over forty minutes we left and headed for ftsk signing :)

Bumped into Caleb from ftsk along the way. Took two pictures with him because in the first one I blinked haha :)

Walked past ftsk merch tent. The line was sooooooo looooonggg! We still got on line of course. We did not come to Warped Tour NOT to meet ftsk :) ! 

While waiting on line I watched the band, The White Tie Affair perform about four song since I could see the stage from the signing. Filmed two of them.. not so great because I was reallly far away. 

After about fifteen minutes of waiting in line they came... instead of everyone waiting in line like they were supposed to they rushed up to each of them and created huge mobs around them. We still stood in line but decided to join in the mob scene after a while considering the fact that they were never getting out of there to meet us haha! Met Jonathan Cook again and got a Happy Birthday video from him. Also met the rest of ftsk well five out of six members.. never found the sixth member haha and got my warped tour ticket signed by three members of the band. 



After we Left ftsk signing, we saw Jac Vanek at her merch tent! If you've never heard of her, you should definitely check her out! http://jacvanek.com. Took a picture with her and then left for the day!
