also not listed on the lineup untill showtime was sacramento band Aurorah….

so there you have 57 bands on 9 stages. other than 1 no show (katie Perry) and a couple of cancellations it went off without a hitch.! thousands of area kids of all ages decended on the venue to run back and forth between the 9 stages to catch they’re favorite bands.
this event was an 11 hour affair filled with music and mayhem ranging from metal to even a hip hop band of sorts. out in the 100+ temps for most of the day and almost no shade to escape the sun it was quite an interesting day with fans frenzied at times from drinking alcohol and heat exsaustion.
rock-med rolled 9 ambulances with situations running from heat stroke to one guy who cmpletely dismantleing his left elbo in a mosh pit. (welcome to Warped Tour Moshing)
so all in all it was a great day and i must say of all the bands i was able to catch, my favorites were Ludo… and Amberlin….

i love to work the Warped tour because i get to see a lot of my late sons friends and i also love the chaotic atmosphere. its not for everyone but for me? it works……

till next time……….. keep rockin!
