happily sunburned.
today was... well, beyond my expectations. in case you haven't been reading my blog every day (lots of post lately i know, and not like many people read this anyway) then i should really start by saying that today was the warped tour in ventura. in the past i have not gone, because no band i wanted to see was playing there. this year, however, was different. sherwood was playing, and, again, if you know me you know i love them. it was too great an opportunity to pass up seeing them in my hometown. an added bonus of today was that i didn't have to go alone. my friend lauren was planning on going, and so i called her up and we went together. i had a great time with her, even if they guy who was tagging along was a little too weird for me, and actually her too.
the tour was good. interesting to say the least. sherwood really made the day for me. if they weren't playing, it wouldn't have been worth it for me. i did however see a number of bands that i wouldn't have seen any other way. here's a small list (or at least what i can remember). the academy is, rise against, the pink spiders, joan jett and the blackhearts, against me, hellogoodbye (my second favorite probably), greeley estates, the plain white t's, saves the day (acoustic set), motion city soundtrack, underoath, and sherwood (of course). i'm sure that there were more. like i heard a little bit of scary kids scaring kids, and meg & dia. oh i also saw, oh shoot. i can't remember. it was two bands that played the ernie ball stage. oh well.
so, my expectations for today were to find sherwood's merch tent, and see them play. i accomplished both of those. i found the tent soon after arriving, and saw mikey and found out when and where they were playing. i was surprised that they weren't playing until 5 which meant that i had 5.5 hours to wait for them to come on. lauren and i walked around and listened to bands and such, and found jordan (weird guy, honestly) later and we all did stuff together. finally my time came where the band that i wanted to see was going to play. we went over to the tent, which was quite small, and hung out with the others while the band set up. once they started to play i ended up being in like the second row of people between dan and nate. good times. the set was awesome, even "the summer sends its love" which they may not totally agree with. it made me smile that's for sure. lauren and jordan had left early from sherwood's set to see thursday play, so once they were doing playing i just hung around. i ended up calling my parents and talking to them just outside the tent. the band has basically taken down all their stuff and i'm basically done on the phone, when dan walks over to me and makes some comment about a comment i'd just made on the phone. i end the call with my mom (i see her all the time), and talk with dan for a few minutes. it was a really nice conversation. we were walking in the same direction too, so we talked going that way, and eventually the conversation ended when i went to go watch hellogoodbye.
like i started with, today was... well, great! i did get sunburned, and have some funny lines on my face from my funny sunglasses, and i've now got a HORRIBLE farmers tan, after doing so well not to get one up to this point this summer.
i've gotta go now, cause i'm way tired, and am hoping to get to sleep before midnight tonight. we'll see about that. yay for sleep though.
sunburns suck but sherwood doesn't. (yes, i know that's lame.)
