Warped Tour '08
Journal Entry: Thu Jul 3, 2008, 10:44 AM
holy shit.
So, like everyone's first major concert..they all come out with at least one major story.
here's my bogus one..and man it sucked.
This was my first warped tour, lets just say that right now.
So, I went down with a bunch of friends that'd gone before. They'd called the day before saying they needed another driver and if I did it they'd pay for my ticket($38 seeing as I couldn't pay both that and gas). Now, we both had a group of people and I followed the other driver, Jared, all the way up there. But the thing is, he got turned around once and we drove for a bit trying to find the place..so I, myself, got confused.
But I stuck behind them and we got there fine. (to wait in an hour long line..with a guy in a pink gorilla suit and PETA people that were running up and down the line.)
--warped tour time in between--
(now...lets go home.)
It started freaking hailing and storming right near the end (we were mad because we missed this OreSkaBand that we wanted to see out of curiousity) we had to hide in the bathrooms until it cooled down(whining and scared girls shoved in a small place..fun). but man that was some storm.
We ran out to the cars and waited until most everyone else had left before we did, but still there was a huge ass line even when we left.
Of course, we got seperated in the line, so we called them and asked for someone who knew the way or at least a map..and those asses didn't give us one. I'm still pissed off at em for that.
They told us directions, and me and sam(sitting shotgun with Jarret in the back) tried to follow them, but of course we missed our turn once, not even knowing it.
All I really know is it was raining, dark and we had no clue where we were at til we saw the freaking skyscrapers and buildings of downtown Kansas City.
we crossed the Missouri River bridge for gods sake.
ugh..so many roads and so much confusion! we didn't know where to go, so I headed down an exit ramp thinking we could somehow get turned back around..
but it was fucking FLOODED at the bottom.....and there was no way we were getting through it.
so,..we headed back up the ramp, hazards flashing and somehow managing not to get hit, an got back on the road.
I went the next exit ramp (thankfully not flooded) and somehow managed to get back South on I-71.
Finally, we got ahold of sam's uncle that knows the area and somehow managed to follow his directions and make it back to 435 and slowly back home..
it was an ordeal that I really don't want to happen again...I still don't really know how we managed to get home. bah...I was basically running on adrenelin since I'd only gotten an hour and a half of sleep..
I definitely owe sam and his uncle a ton.. they were great. that's all there is to it..
Jarret though..(the guy in back) slept through the enitire fucking thing, didn't wake up til we hit paola...which i'm kinda thankful for.eh..
but, warped tour itself was alright, I guess. There were so many bands that I hadn't heard of before and not too many that were extremely impressive.
But the one's that were good, were very good. The best one's were Reel Big Fish (I crowd surfed for the first time during this one, pretty fun. except for the part where they dropped me on my hip lol but its all good) and Against Me, I really recommend them Live.
Man though... hearing Jack's Maniquin Live..was painful. we didn't stand next to the stage but they sound nothing like their cd.
I had great fun hanging out with everyone while it lasted, and people watching..living in a small town, you don't see so many different ones. so many awsome mohawks. lol
I'm definitely getting those guys back though... that last part sucked.
