Warped Minds

I went to Warped Tour and it was absolutely Brilliant. We get there, Alex and Alissa buy tickets, and then we get in. We call Dani and she answers, and we meet up with her near the Jeffree Star signings. I got a picture and a signature! Post it later. Then we walked around, but since we got there late, we missed a lot of bands like Killswitch Engage, Sum 41, New Found Glory, and others that I can't think of right now.
We also missed the Trojan backpacks and stuff. I got a Jeffree Star shirt, like 134567890 cds and +68451328965326+9523*+9653 stickers that my guitar and future bass will don later. Dani got some free boxers. Alissa, Alex and I got some caution tape hippie bands and a stamp on our faces and necks. Alissa also bought a new orange stud belt, and alot of EPs from people. This one guy who was shirtless and had "free hugs" written on his torso in sharpie looked in my direction with, err... flirty eyes I guess you could say. He was cute, and I totally would have hugged him if he maybe weren't so sweaty. Although I did really want to tackle him from behind when he was least expecting. The bands we watched were:
Bad Religion
The Rocket Summer
Envy on the Coast
a little bit of Pepper
a little bit of Coheed and Cambria
Aurora
some random bands on the Hot Topic Stage, Hurley Stage, and Ernie Ball stage.
Alissa stole a Shadows Fall poster, and I picked up an Aiden poster, a Silverstein poster, and a June poster.
When we saw Bad Religion, there was so much pot.
The people in front of us lit up, and pretty much everybody around us lit up. It was disgusting. Like, the faint smell of pot doesn't smell bad. But when it's super intense, like staring you in the face... that's when I have to shove my face in Alex's hair to avoid the smell.
Since there was soo much of it everywhere, definitely got a buzz. People could tell something about us wasn't completely sober. We got the munchies. My mom took us to Jamba juice afterwards because she couldn't find a starbucks but it was alright because I discovered what happens when you combine a Chocolate Moo'd and a strawberry something or other in your mouth. And explosion yum. Like chocolate covered strawberries, it was.

On the way out, some old drunk fogies came up to us and went, "Smile check". We passed, but we wondered what that was about.

Before that, during sunset I'd say, we were on our way to Bad Religion, and these kids were in a band called The Angry Penguins and this guy put us under mind control and made us buy it. The guy showed us a magic trick that involved a ten dollar bill, a wooden clothespin as a wand, a tissue or something, and the bird. He put the ten dollar bill in his had, put the cloth item over his hand, I said "abra cadabra" but I really wanted to say "avada kedavra" and when he lifted up the cloth, he flipped us the bird. Buahaha. No wonder he said, "Do you guys like birds." That was sort of retarded but funny. The album was signed by the band and we got a picture of them.

After the whole shindig, Alex, Alissa and I were about to cross the street, and some people were handing out little laminated card type things, and they were like, "Wow, you guys are all decked out!"

I said something like, "Oh no, we're so not decked out compared to those freaking hardcore punks with all of the studs and liberty spikes." He didn't hear me, and that was alright because one of them asked, "Can I get a picture with you guys?"

"Yeah, sure"

Click. Flash.

"Awesome. If you go on myspace.com/lettersburning on sunday it'll be up"

"Thanks"

Memorable quotes:

"If that thing turns into a dove, you better let it loose" - Alissa during the magic trick

"Can I have my ten back?" - Alex talking to the magician

"I can smell it in my bones" - Alex

"Sex, Drugs" - Alex and I at the same time about what most rap is about these days.
