The Cal State Fullerton show at the Warped Tour Rocked!

There was a ton of stuff going on…a huge half pipe

where skaters and bikers were catching major airs all

day long…about 500 booths for clothing companies

record labels and food…I met a couple of cool bands.

I was talking to this one guy for about ten minutes

and then found out he was the guitarist of New Found

Glory…They’ve sold several million albums. Its

crazy. So it was a great place to be a band to make

friends with other bands that are doing really well. I

think there were about 5 main stages…5 B level

stages and 5 C level stages… we actually got bumped

up from a c-level to a b-level stage so that was cool

…it was all luck of the draw in the morning…we got

there really early and that was key so that we could

get a good spot to set up our booth and have a better

chance at getting a good time slot…the bands that

are on the entire tour get a case of beer/a case of

water and catering but those were only the b-level and

a-level main stage bands that were on the full tour…

the hardest part is when there are alot of big name

bands playing at the same time… this forces you to

choose one band over another to watch. The cool thing was that most people would just watch a couple of songs and then walk to the next show… so it was a constant flow of people. It was a long hot day but our set started at 7:50PM right when it was cooling off so it

worked out kind of nice. We were the first band on our

stage to get lights so that was kind of cool and there

was this awesome glowing orange full moon out. Well,

we’re off to San Diego for another show so it should

be really fun and were learning a ton!

Hope to see you all soon at the next show!

(we got a sweet Windsor plug on KTLA three mornings ago

for being on the Warped Tour and it was cool because

some people recognized our band and Jaime from tv and we gave

out some autographs on shirts and cds)
