Mount Shasta

DAY OFF IN MOUNT SHASTA!!!!

Lake Shasta has always been a place where my family went on vacation, so it was like a new version of a family vacation. All of the Warped Tour folks rented house boats for one huge party!!! The only thing people were saying was "this is the best day of Warped yet." There was so much going on, whether it be the BBQs on the house boats, wake boarding or just floating on inflatable rafts. It was all so much fun! Arturo was lucky to be on the double decker bus WITH A WATER SLIDE!!!! In total there were probably 10 house boats with so many different characters on each boat.

My favorite part about today was joining Roger from Less than Jake on his fast jet boat and went wake boarding... well I didn't wake board because I don't think i would be very useful if i break an arm the last week. However, it was really fun seeing your best friends face plant.

Chicago update by guest blogger Michelle!

This past Saturday, August 1, Warped stopped in Tinley Park, IL. I had a really interesting time because I went with friends who had been to Warped before and some who hadn't been.

Some of the highlights on the five stages were Alexisonfire, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Less Than Jake. I also got to see an upcoming Chicago band, White Tie Affair, an electronica/pop/punk band play in the amphitheater. This band accesorizes their show! They had two yellow balloon men with "TWTA" printed on them.

I got to see the Boulder electronica band, 3OH!3 from backstage with a bunch of their fans. It was exciting to see the stage set up, the crowd dancing to their high energy performance, and guys and girls body surfing to the sing along.

My friends who had been to Warped before loved seeing Warped Alum bands like Bad Religion. My friends who had never been, were a bit overwhelmed by everything going on.

Even though it was chilly and rainy, no one seemed to mind the weather. I don't think the fans would let it interfere with their plans! I think music festivals are the best shows to go to for all the variety of bands and to be with fellow music fanatics!
