I get a big, shiney trophy for being the first pastepunker to make their way to Warped. Plenty of people have expressed some disappointment at the lineup, but trust me, it’s still just sunburns, dehydration, and punk rock, and there’s nothing like it in the world. Make sure to go say hi to Kevin at the Punkrocks.net stage and check out YESTERDAY’S RISING on the smartpunk stage. I felt a serious lack of moshage this year around, and if you do too, make sure not to miss THE BLED, EIGHTEEN VISIONS, or UNDEROATH (whether you like their new material or not, they are great live). Check back later for a full review, and don’t have a heat stroke.
