Every kid grows up dreaming about endless summers, going to the beach, going to amusement parks, and it seems like the summer will never end! Well... that's never gone away for me!
I just got back from our annual pilgrimage to Warped Tour! This was our sixth annual trip, and it has become one of our favorite summer vacation things to do. We like to attend the Dallas show because of the following: the great opportunity to stay with Kay N Dale (Dale cooks the best breakfasts!), Joe's Crabshack, real bathrooms at the venue, and (prior to this year) we can bring in our own water.
This year's Warped Tour was a little different. First of all, we made it to our destination with out taking any wrong exits! Somehow or another we ended up on the opposite side of the Amphitheater, but that was only a minor issue. Our presale tickets were supposed to get us in an hour early, but that didn't happen--not sure if it was just us, but I did see others in the line with the presale tix as well.
The entrance security was only allowing people to bring in one bottle of water, which is stupid! But I was allowed to come in with two bottles in my bag and one in my hand--mainly because I hassled the poor guy about us standing in line so long!
The day went pretty much as it does every year--lots of music, new bands to listen to, tons of merch to peruse, and the always fun weird-hair photos! I only took one this year; I guess I'm getting immune.
Favorites for me personally were: Less Than Jake, Larry and His Flask, hellogoodbye, Unwritten Law, Lucero and MC Lars. The kids really enjoyed the stage show put on by Foxy Shazam. I thought it was silly! I bought 5 cd's, a tshirt, and a Warped dvd that turned out to be a blue ray (ughhh).
I am going to post pics so you can see what I'm talking about!
The day ended with the traditional trip to Joe's. This year I had the Carribean Feast, which was delicious! I just didn't want to fight with the crab legs for whatever reason. Which means I must go again soon because I'm still hungry for BBQ Dungeoness Crablegs.
Then we went back to Kay N Dales, took much-needed showers, and went to bed to dream about Warped Vacations past, present, and future!
