warped tour used to be essential! each and every year. a pack of like 50 from allll over would go to the one in asbury. we'd always get busted up into like groups of two or three because of the hectic bustle of the joint and meet at the cars that night. warped tour 97--i lost everybody! i was all by myself. saw social D, bosstones, blink, reel big fish, bad religion, limp bizkit and lots of others. at the time those bands ruled me. i had a ball. since then i loved seeing shows by myself. but since you've grown up on this stuff, it's totally amazing. you'll probably grow out of it tho. took me 7 years. actually, i DO like coheed. so thats one band that i'd like to see. have fun, folks.
