Well, I made it there and back in one piece (although I probably wouldn't have if I stayed longer), and I have pictures! You can check all the pictures and one video out in the Warped Tour '06 collection if you wanted to (I like the collection ability so much more now).

I started feeling like utter garbage at around 3:30 and ended up buying some merchandise and left right after Thursday's set (I didn't take pics for that since I was so out of it). However, the whole day up till that point was pretty damn awesome. I saw a good load of awesome bands, and got to be pretty much upfront for Less Than Jake's set, which was all I really wanted.

I ended up getting possible heat stroke (it's like being drunk without any the happy) and almost getting lost in Vancouver because of it. I found my way back though and got home late last night; so today I'm just going to kick back and work off this sunburn.

It was an awesome day none-the-less though :D

On Tuesday, July 18th,  I will be trekking through Vancouver to once again experience epitome of current punk music known as the Warped Tour.

For those who don't know, the Warped Tour was created because of the fact that people have to go to many different shows in different areas in the summer to see their favourite bands. With the Warped Tour, most of those bands can be found at one show that tours around North America, which makes it easier on you and you're wallet :P There are over 60 bands that play at every venue (78 at the Vancouver date) on many different stages, The gates open at 11am and the music doesn't stop pounding till 10pm.

I'll be going for a few bands (Less Than Jake, Crowned King, Motion City Soundtrack, Alexisonfire NOFX, Amber Pacific), but I'll emerge with lots of new music to keep me entertained (and free merch, yay).

I'll get lots of pictures and entertaining stuff for you all.
