I spent yesterday at the warped tour and I had an unbelievable time! If you're not familiar with it, this is the website where you can find the lineup and other info:

and this is a link that has accounts of the Dallas show I went to (check dates 2nd, or 1st), with pics:

Just so you know, this is all general admission, so anyone has a chance to get a 'good seat'.
To start off, I only wanted to see a handful of the bands there. Most of them I had never heard of, so I was hoping to discover something new to enjoy (which I did! The best being reggae & ska band, Catch 22, who put on a fantastic show despite the fact they didn't get to perform on a mainstage). Seeing The Bouncing Souls was what I was looking forward to more than anything.
When they played, I was front and center, the very very front! The 'Souls played an excellent show and I could see anything and everything. The lead singer, Greg Attonito, kept getting into the crowd up there and interacting with all of us. I got some awesome pics of this show, see below.
A while later, my brother wanted to go to The Bouncing Souls's booth and check out their stuff, and lo and behold! Greg and bassist, Bryan, were there chilling out. It wasn't a signing or anything, so there were no long-ass lines. My bro and I got to chat with the guys, I got my BS shirt signed and my bro got his BS deck signed.
That's really only a small slice of the Warped pie. There's just way too much to tell, I would need a seperate website to explain it all, and I won't go on because I know this is probably boring the pants off people who aren't into this type of music.
Has anyone else been/ want to go to this tour this year, or in years past?
