WARPED TOUR BLOG FOUR

Welcome to my Warped tour blog number 4.


1st July, San Antonio, Texas

I'm sorry, i really can't remember what happened on this day. I think i was in bed for most of it. I think there was an after show party, but again, i can't remember!


2nd July, Houston, Texas


RAIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN

RAIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN

A SHIT TON OF RAIN!

I woke up, and like something out of 'Day after tomorrow' the heavens opened. There were floods and all kinds of chaos. Anyway, this is a rock n roll tour god dammit, and the show MUST go on. We opened our stage on this day, and we helped to hold the roof of the stage up. Our stage has an inflatable roof you see, therefore, when it rained it got absolute obliterated by the rain! It was torrential rain during our set and we were all absolutely soaked, but it must be said, the crowd were unbelievable. It was probably the best show of the tour thus far. We just rolled with it and embraced mother nature having her way with us. God bless ya mumma, god bless ya.


3rd of July, Dallas, Texas

The hurricane aftermath continued to follow us around Texas. Hot rain, bouncing a metre of the ground. We continued to use the rain to shower. Dallas was a pretty cool show. I feel like everyones attention was on the day to follow.....


4th of July

Independence day. AMERICA, FREEDOM, blah blah. I'm not American, so i don't get it, but i do appreciate them dedicating a day to solely drinking beer, eating bbq food and hanging out with good people. That's exactly what we did. We were at a hotel with the boys from Parkway Drive and BMTH, so throughout the day we played some footy, ate some burgers and drank a ton of beer!

At about 2am we let off some fireworks, which was an amazing idea, and i'm glad we went ahead with it, despite the risk of being kicked out of the hotel and it's car park. I vaguely remember us playing a bunch of beer pong, that being said, if i can't remember, we most probably did!!


5th of July St Louis, Missouri

The site for WT2010 was based a round a massive hill and all the merch tents surrounded it. It was a cool site, and the show itself was pretty awesome. Loads of people were singing along and stuff. I watched Enter Shikari, who put simply, are one of the most exciting and best live bands around, fact. Ohhh and catering was amazing in St Louis, STEAK! I LOVE STEAK! Thank you TADA catering, more of the same please.


IN MY NEXT BLOG I'LL RUN YOU THROUGH US PLAYING IN THE WARPED FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT, AND OUR EXPERIENCE IN CANADA!
