Warped Tour Day 4. Phoenix, AZ 6/25/08

We have never been in this many places in such a short period of time! In just 5 days we've been to a new city everyday. We started in Pomona, CA, then headed up to San Fran, went back down to Ventura, hit up Vegas, Victorville, CA and today we made it to Phoenix. It's crazy going to sleep in one location and waking up in another state every day.

So today was by FAR the hottest day I've ever lived through. I thought Pomona was bad, but I really just had no concept of what bad really was. No joke, it was over 100 degrees out by 8am. Dinner was delicious, though.

Warped Tour Day 3. Ventura CA 6/22/08

Yesterday was a crazy day for the Bank crew. We ended up being several hours late to the venue, so we decided not to sell and instead enjoy the show like everyone else. It's a long story, but we were late for two reasons, both problems with our trailer. The night of the drive up to San Francisco the bus ran over what we think was a bass guitar and both of the left side tires went completely flat. That delayed us about an hour, and it was smooth sailing after that....until around 5.30am when we started hitting bumps in the road. One bad bump and our trailer literally FLEW OFF THE BACK OF THE BUS. It drove itself nearly half a mile down the road until it veered off into a ditch. After a towtruck hauled the trailer out of the ditch, we were on our way and only three hours late.

Today was much better to say the least. We partnered up with Alesana and got spots right next to each other. It's nice to know the people next to you, that way you have someone to complain about the heat to! Haha, not that we would ever do that...
Tomorrow is our first off-day on the tour, and we're heading to Vegas! Tonight is also the first party of the tour, so it should make for an interesting evening...

Warped Tour Day 1. Pomona, CA. 6/20/08

We arrived in Pomona at 7:35 last night, and after a quick mexican dinner we rolled up to the park and dropped off our gear. We met our buss-mates (sweet-core band Alesana, Fearless Records reps, and two girls from Demolisten) and headed to bed. At 7:30am we woke up and attempted to assemble (and mostly fail) our brand new handtruck, and after blowing out two tires without ever moving the thing we declared it a success and went on to pick a spot for our tent.

Note to self: 8:30 is apparently not early enough to get a good spot. By the time we got there most of the spots were already taken, so we settled down nearby the solar-powered "Kevin Says" stage. From there we sat out in the 100+ degree weather and got sunburns. We sold some shirts and met some cool kids for the street team, and overall had a long, but awesome day. So, we're stinky, dirty, hot and having an awesome time!
