Today was day 1 of 4 for me on Warped Tour (ok it doesn't really count as being on warped tour because I am driving back to brooklyn to sleep in my own bed every night, but whatever.)
First we met up with Mike from the AKAs. He had a lot to say about their time on Warped so far. We had a chance to catch some of their set later and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll get to catch more of them in the next few days.
We split up for a little while and Sarah and Andrew (our awesome shooters for the day) went to film some bands' sets.
After that we met back up and talked with You, Me and Everyone We Know. They're the first band that we've interviewed for Inklings more than once, and I've now interviewed them 3 times in 3 months.We finally had a break to grab some food around 4, so we enjoyed some $8 slices of pizza (sadly, I'm not kidding. But I'd been up since 5:30 and hadn't eaten all day, so it actually tasted like it was worth it) We sat down and recharged our batteries (our metaphorical batteries, not real batteries) before splitting up again.
Andrew and Adaria (my right-hand woman for the day) went to shoot bands' sets, while Sarah and I caught up with some of the guys from A Loss For Words. They weren't playing today, but hanging out and selling a bunch of CDs. Great guys, great band, so if you see them around at Warped the next week or so, please go buy a CD from them.
Later we caught up with Billy and Ross from Confide, as well as Aaron and Ryland of Reel Big Fish.
There's some A+ stuff with Reel Big Fish...but you'll just have to wait and see. I WILL say that Ryland is hilarious.
We dashed over to the press area after that to catch A Cursive Memory, who were a combination of ridiculous and hilarious. Tomorrow's their last day on the tour, so hopefully I'll be able to catch their set.Time to hit the hay. More updates tomorrow! Huge thanks to Sarah, Andrew & Adaria!
