Warped Tour part II, or "Didn't you go there for the MUSIC?"

You may have noticed that my inital post-concert check-in was a little short on the actual performances. This is what a day of baking your brains on asphalt will do. And during the week, when I come home from work, I nap.

So. Notes On The Music.

( The drive down )

( The Academy Is... )

( Eighteen Visions )

( Hellogoodbye )

( Motion City Sountrack )

( Less Than Jake )

( Thursday )

( The Bouncing Souls )

( Red Jumpsuit Apparatus )

( High School Football Heroes )

By then we had had a long day, the food options were sucky, and the free water truck had run dry, so we didn't stick around for Joan Jett or Rise Against! or NOFX. Given what I have read about Fat Mike's behaviour this year, I'm starting to be glad we didn't catch NOFX, which is sad, because I love their songs, but... great songs with praiseworthy politics don't necessarily mean you're going to be a nice human being. :( Makes me even gladder that the guys from Alkaline Trio were so sweet and gracious at the meet & greet in April.

That was the music at Warped Tour. Next up: reviews of samplers I collected there! And there are a LOT.
