Denver Warp Tour
Posted July 9, 2007
Hey everyone,
what a crazy 48 hours it has been. So Mike and I got picked up by John and Glenn from Lansdowne at 1am on friday and started driving to Denver to go promote our bands on the warped tour. All was fine until Glenn got pulled over going 85 in a 65 and the cop was going to give us a warning but Glenn was stuttering and when the cop asked him where he lived Glenn gave him 3 different addresses hahaha so the cop revoked Glenn's liscence and said that he is suppossed to arrest Glenn for driving with out a legal liscence but because we're late for the warped tour he is going to let us go with a very large ticket. We kept driving for god knows how long we literally drove 32 straight hours only stopping to piss and eat. we ran into a band in iowa with whom we played in CT so that was random..... mike and I ate some canned tuna and canned corn cause we can't afford anything else. We spent almost $500 on gas going to Denver. So basically we got to Denver with no money which was really scary.
When we got to the warped tour gates we told security we were a band that was playing and cause the saw the van and trailer they let us in. Boooooooyaaaaaa!!!! so we then put on the ALF costume and put a say when tshirt and went inside with ipods to promote our bands. It was nuts the reaction ALF got. kids would run up to us and ask to take pictures and asked for hugs and asked to listen to the bands. Luckily we sold enough to eat that night and get gas to get our asses to phoenix.
things went so well and we got such a huge buzz that fuse.tv and warped tour tv and buzznet tv all started looking for us because they wanted interviews. so that's right you guys will be seeing us on tv stuttering lol
We met so many cool people in Denver. We met these awesome girls who helped us promote and who were the nicest people ever. We met cool bands like All Time Low and took pictures with Thursday and Bayside and some others.
We also went down to the clubs and met some really cool promoters. I for one can't wait to come back to Denver cause the city rocks!!!!
We couldn't afford a hotel so we drove to a rest stop and slept in the van.....we have now officially gone 3 days without showering hahaha
we drove god knows how many miles, spend tons on gas killed tons of bugs yeah our windshield is gross eeeewwwwww but damn was it fun promoting and warped and meeting all the cool new friends we made.
we're finishing up the video blog as we speak and will be posting that very very soon. so watch out peoples...... stay tuned for some cool funny video footage.
