August 18th, 2005 - "warped tour"

man oh man did i have a good weekend. i cant start with friday night cuz i honestly completely forget what i did friday night, but im pretty sure some people came over and we hung out. so thats that.

saturday night was a ridiculous night. went over to eddie's house with zoe. hung out with eddie, zoe and adam chute. we had a lotta fun playing flip cup until zoe's top came down and eddie's pants came off. zoe rocking her tits out, and eddie rocking the boxer scene- still had some fun. then it got weirder and weirder. especially when zoe and eddie started making out... leading to fondling... leading to me and adam going upstairs for a cigarette... lets just say i took pics thru the window so zoe could suffer like we did. hah. anyway it was fucked up and we had to leave when adam passed out cuz i really couldnt handle it anymore. kinda gross, yanno? blech.

anyway

take off for warped tour was sunday evening. i picked up kelcey, erin condon, and claire, and went to keegans work to get him. he drove us up to northampton, where we had gotten 2 hotel rooms. we got some booze and started hanging out hard. we had awesome adjoining rooms so we could all hang together. ryan and his friend jared met us there later that night and stayed too. at one point (like 3 am) me and erin condon went to the vending machines and came back with some kid with a mohawk from sandwich. we go 3 hours from cape cod and manage to find a cape codder at the vending machines at 3 am. go us. he came and hung out. we watched the pam anderson roast a total of 3 times that night. we made it a drinking game, so everytime they mentioned her tits or hepatitus we had to drink. fun times.

at one point or another we called it a night. we woke up around 10-10:30 and got ready to go. check out was 11am. we all went into the center of town and ate breakfast at a little 50s style diner. it was awesome cuz i had never eaten at a diner that i can recall. the girls sat in a booth with a little jukebox that we played with, and the boys sat at the bar. it was neat. after breakfast we meandered to warped tour. shitloads of cars and people. then we realized it had just rained in the morning, and we were at the fairgrounds... MUD. all of us, with the exception of erin condon, were wearing flip flops. erin was smart, but not TOO smart since her sneakers were white. lol. at least her feet stayed clean though. we got pretty fucking disgusting. so we got there at about 12:30 and hung out, walked around, surveyed the scene... we watched some of the band reliant k... then started walking around again. at 4:20 story of the year came on. we made our way to the front left side of the stage. they were awesome. all the bands only played 30 min sets, so i wasnt as fulfilled as i would have liked to be, but i was thrilled nonetheless. i got some okay pics in my yahoo photos, check them out definetely. after that the next band we watched was the transplants (only cuz travis barker is the drummer)... but we watched from afar. as soon as they were over, on the stage next to them, thrice started to play. we had no interest in them, so we concerned ourselves with getting up as close as possible to the stage where the transplants had just left, cuz after thrice was done, offspring came on the stage we were at. everyone started crowding around us, but we managed to get real close. everyone i was with looked pretty scared but i was so pumped i was just hoping my positive energy would channel to them... lol. they opened with All I Want, which is the song i told everyone they would open with. god i love them. it was awesome until the crowd surfing started, and wouldnt stop. i was still wicked pumped. poor erin condon was so little and terrified looking. me and keegan tried to shelter her as best we could. everyone held their own nicely. we all ended up getting kicked in the head and face a few times, but it was all in good fun. it was a fucking awesome, amazing, and intense time. after they were over, my chemical romance started playing on the stage next to them. we tried to get over, but then realized we lost kelc. so we watched from afar as we all took turns looking for her. when the band was over, she trotted over to us all sweaty.. proclaiming that she was "rocking out" and had a lotta good pics for us. i was mildly pissed that i wasnt up front for that band, but i saw them just the same.

we left at 8:30 when it was all over. we did not move from our parking spot for 2.5 hours. there was only one exit. it was fucking ridiculous. when we finally got out we hopped on the highway and headed a couple exits up till we got to a mcdonalds. apparently a shitload of people did the same thing as us, and between 11-12 at night this mcdonalds was filled with muddy overtired teenagers and young twenty-somethings buying as much food as possible. the workers were kinda pissed about the clogged toilets and the mud and dirt all over the floor. not to mention the people who werent wearing shoes cuz their flip flops couldnt withstand the pull from the mud. it happened to me twice but i overcame, thank god. imagine the disgust that was in that mud! ugh!

so we got home at 3am. i wanted nothing more than a shower. but i couldnt even stand. so we washed our feet, hands, and face.. brushed our teeth and passed the fuck out. i had to wake at 7:30am to shower. im STILL tired. but all in all it was a fucking awesome time with an awesome crew and i cant wait to do it again next year. ; )
