warped tour ventura

Alright, so we had a good start heading out to Ventura, there was no traffic on the freeway and that’s always good. We get there and park and soon went to get in line so that we could buy tickets. It was cash only so Amanda and Jaimie had to go find an ATM machine. The line kept moving and still no sign of them back yet. So we got our tickets and decided to just walk around. But as we did we decided that it would be better to just go wait in the long line, before it gets any longer. So on our way to get in line we saw Drew and stopped him for a picture. We asked when they were going to play and things of the sort.

It was a long walk to the end of the line. After standing there for a bit Jaimie and Amanda finally purchases their ticket and gets in line with us. We just started talking about random things and The Maine. It was so crazy, cause we were just saying that we really wanted to see Kennedy but John O is going to be there too, and that we’re just going to be making fun of John O, like not noticing him or what not, and out of no where, there comes John O and Kennedy walking with sign of when their set is. How awful, lucky John O didn’t hear us, but we did say HI to Kennedy. All of a sudden we noticed that we were behind the stage where Farewell was about to play. It was crazy; I didn’t want to miss their set again, so I really wanted the line to move already. So we’re just like don’t start yet! But then the line finally moves, of course, very slowly. So we get in and make our way to the Skate Ramp Stage. We passed by Highway 1 stage and Street Dogs were playing and they were very good. So we make it there and they haven’t went on yet, so we went to the back area, sort of, and just stood there. Kevin noticed and came to talk to us, Wil came too to say HI and stuff, and now their about to go on. We headed for the crowd, and there we met Garrett, he’s just so adorable! We took a picture with him and then watched Farewell.

We went a bit closer in the crowd and I turned around and saw Austin from FTSK. Their set was really good, I’m so proud of them! Then we went back and we saw Alex, haha, he was watching Farewell too. We said our hello and gave each other hugs and then he left. Then we left too. We caught up with Jaimie and Amanda and watched Cobra Starship. William Beckett and Tavis McCoy came out to do their part for the Snakes on a Plane song. William looked so adorable. Afterwards, we stood around talking and decided to go backstage. So we went and the first thing we had to do was go to the restroom. Oh how horrible it was. There was three stalls and Amanda and Kena went in, so there was still one more, I opened the door and there was someone in there, it was horrible and embrassing, I yelled out SORRY! and closed the door really quickly. Oh what a shame, Jaimie ran out laughing. It was the most hilarious thing ever to happen. So we were out side and noticed that Steven from Steven’s Untitled Rock Show was filming there and he was with Katy Perry. So finally Amanda and Kena was done and I finally was able to go. Afterwards we went to go watch Steven interview Katy Perry. It was so adorable, I don’t know if you saw it, but they were dancing and doing other stuff. The interview was finally done and Katy had to leave. We then went to go take pictures with Steven, he’s so nice.

Afterwards we just went back to sitting around then we noticed someone, at first I thought it was William, but I was wrong, everyone just looked like everyone all of a sudden, but it was still someone I wanted to see, so we caught up to Derek from Mayday Parade and he was on the phone, lucky it was a short conversation so we got to talking and picture taking. Of course everyone we meet at Warped Tour is super nice.

So after that, we were about on our way to go back and watch some more bands. So we were heading out until we saw Ryland from Cobra Starship. He’s so adorable, nice and tall. We so forgot to ask him for a picture with Guy Ripley. I’m sad now. We get out from the Hurley stage side and I see Brian from Greeley pass by, he passed by Kena, but I don’t think he was paying attention then he was about to passed me when he decided to yell HEY! In my ears, he’s so adorable.

After that we were really out of there. Jaimie want to go see her girls from the Oreskaband and me and Kena decided to go see Greeley Estates. But first we needed to go take our picture with Jeff from Farewell since he was looking so adorable.

Then we made it to the Hurley stage. I just love Greeley’s set, it’s so energetic and fun. Then we met up with Jaimie to watch Say Anything, since we missed it last time. Amanda was with Kevin and Christine, watching Forever the Sickest Kids acoustic set. So after Say Anything we went to go meet up with them. We got a picture with Caleb and Austin though.

Afterwards we decided that we were going to go watch Mayday Parade. So on our way back to the Hurley Stage, since that’s where Mayday Parade was going to play we say that The Maine was doing signing and taking pictures. So of course we had to stop for that. It was so adorable and our group picture turned out really good. I love it.

This time we were on our way to see Mayday Parade, until we heard Story of the Year singing. So we just had to stop and listen to them. So while standing there, Wil passed by and we took a picture with him.

Their set was over and we told Kevin we were on our way until we saw Kennedy and Jared. Of course we needed pictures with them. So we stayed there and took a picture with them. They were playing catch with the sour patch kids.

So we finally make it to Mayday Parade set. We watched them play and afterwards went backstage since we had nothing to do until it was time for The Maine to go on. So we just went back to where we were earlier when they were doing the Katy Perry interview and that just happens to be in front of Forever the Sickest Kids bus. We saw a couple of the guys coming in and out. We saw Kyle and he smiled at us, he’s just too cute. We saw so much people back there. We wanted to take a group picture with The Academy Is.. since they were all together, but we didn’t want to bother them, since they were walking in a group and looked determined to get to their destination. So we didn’t stop them. We also saw Family Force 5. But we didn’t stop them either. We just sort of relaxed back there. Then this photographer lady asked me to see the Warped Tour program book, so I let her. She was telling me that she just wanted to know how many of the pictures in there that they used where hers. After a relaxing moment, we decided to head back to the Smartpunk stage since The Maine was about to begin. There were so much people. I love their set, but it wasn’t as good as the first Warped Tour date. John O was much better in Pomona, I’d say. Then after their set, Katy Perry was performing on the stage next to them. After her, it was back to the Smartpunk stage and Forever the Sickest Kids was on next. We went in the crowd for them. It was so fun, but so much pushing and stuff. I took out my water gun to shoot the crowd and it was fun. Someone was shooting also, so of course I had to continue shooting. They were also recording She’s a Lady so they can release it in the UK. After their set we left. Jaimie, Kena and I decided that we were going to go watch The Academy Is… set. On our way there we passed by Greeley Estates tent and I notice Brian and he was already packing most of their things, so I was like I’m going to go over and talk to him. We get their and he gives us the best hugs. I asked him if they were leaving and other things. Then he gave us another hug and I told him we’ll see him outside, hopefully. Then we crossed over to Farewell’s tent. We went to talk to Marshall. I forgot what exactly happened but he thought I was going to shoot him. Silly Marshall. I did shoot Kevin though. It was funny. Then we told him we were going to go watch The Academy Is… and hopefully we’ll see them outside as well. On our way to the stage, Angels and Airwaves were still performing, so we got to listen to that before their set was over. Finally it was The Academy Is… turn. I loved it! William is just so energetic. They did their two new songs again that I really like and then it was over with Checkmarks. So we went to go find Amanda, Kevin and Christine. Apparently they have been hanging out with The Maine this whole time. She has also been shooting Kennedy as well. Then all of a sudden a water gun fight broke out between me and Amanda. It was so funny; I kept getting her in the face. Haha, then we really had to leave because the security made us. We tried to go backstage, but apparently they had stop letting people with wristbands in. so that sucked. So we headed out and I see the guys from Farewell and decided to go over there. It was so funny, I was shooting Wil with the water gun and he thought it was a bee. Then he asked to see the gun but I was like you better not shoot me, so instead he shot Kevin and passed me back the gun as if I did it. He’s so lame. Then we said our goodbye to them and we gave Kevin a hug. I got one of the most awkward hug from Kevin cause he kept thinking I was going to shoot him with the water gun. Then we opened the door to their RV and said bye to Marshall and Wil. Wil kept thanking me for buying him a hoodie he wanted. Then we headed back to the car where Amanda and Jaimie were waiting. We waited for most of the cars to leave and then we left, with Denny’s in mind, since Forever the Sickest Kids said that they would be there. On our way there, the police made us use a detour and got us completely lost. We finally find a freeway and asked Kevin for directions and he completely told us to not exit something that we were suppose to exit, so we got lost some more, we even came across a freeway with two South and no North, how lame was that, wasted time. We were so pissed off, we kept yelling and cussing in the car, and making up weird scenarios. We finally make it there but Forever the Sickest Kids weren’t there yet. We went to the restroom to freshen up and came back and order. It was so lame, Jaimie wanted a BLT and they couldn’t make it, how hard was it? In came FTSK. Kyle came by so quickly it was weird. The guys went around to say hi to everyone, but we were in our own conversation. Jonathan came by and said hi. Our food came and then Kyle came to say hi, he was like what are you having? Looked down at my plate and was like that looks good. Haha. A lot of funny things happened, with a few table banging that got our table noticed. Kyle and Jonathan kept repeating “Are you maddd???” it was hilarious. The also made an awful waffle and indeed did it look awful, I wanted to hurl. So after that awfulness was done with Kyle and Jonathan went on with their problem with Amanda. Jonathan was like “I have a question for you.” Then Kyle asked “Are you mad????” it was funny. You had to be there, or you can watch the video. All in all it was a great night. We took pictures with Kyle and also with Jonathan.


We went to go pay our bills and the guys were leaving. Before they did, we did stopped Caleb, we wanted him to take a picture holding Envy on the Coast sticker, so I asked Caleb, “can you do us something?” and he gave me a huge hug, I was like “not that but ok” then I took a picture with him and we took a picture of him with the sticker.

It was a great night and we made our way to the car. I couldn’t wait to go home. It was a good day, turned bad, and turned great. That’s always good, so now time for some sleep, i have to take my mom to the optometrist in the morning.
