Warped Tour Atlanta 7/26/12

Well, Warped Tour was awesome this year as usual. It was definitely a different experience this year because it was on the other side of the venue and it was in gravel instead of on the pavement. It was really freaking hot. When I got there, I stood in line to buy a schedule and I frantically read over it. The first band of the day for me was Yellowcard. They told us how this was the second time of the tour that they had played first. The first time was in New York and they "killed it" Ryan asked us if we really wanted to be like the Yankees. I laughed. Anyway, I had wanted to see them since Ocean Avenue came out, but I never had the opportunity. Well, the opportunity finally came. The only songs I wanted to hear were Lights and Sounds and Ocean Avenue. They played both.

The first part of my childhood was fulfilled at that moment. After Yellowcard, I took some time to walk around and scout out merch tables because I did not want to see another band until three. I did happen to catch parts of sets from Of Mice And Men, Anger Within, June Divided, A Loss For Words, Brian Marquis, John Nolan, and We The Kings. Then I headed over to the Ernie Ball Stage to watch IWRESTLEDABEARONCE. I had also wanted to see them for a while too. I do not know all the songs they played because I walked back and forth between their set and Lostprophet's set, but I did hear Tastes Like Kevin Bacon. The crowd for that was insane. I cannot even begin to describe it. During IWABO, I stood in a spot where I could watch Lostprophets and IWABO at the same time. I heard Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja, Last Train Home, and Rooftops. My second childhood dream was fulfilled. After them, I walked over to Title Fight's tent and I met them and sat down to cool off for a little while. While I was sitting down, I caught a little of Machine Gun Kelly's set. I do not like the Rap thing, but I did manage to tolerate it because he covered Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit and that song is great. Soon after, I got up and I went to meet Taking Back Sunday. Gosh, I was pretty freaking stoked about that. Adam, their singer, is from Alabama, so he and I talked about that for a little while. Then I asked him if I could give him a hug and he said "sure!!!" That made my day. Not long after them, I walked over and met my friend Jessie for the reason we came to Warped in the first place: Phone Calls From Home. The first time I saw them was in 2010 when they were opening for Forever The Sickest Kids. Their drummer, Danny, is from Alabama, and ever since that first time I saw them, I knew that I would be going to see them again. They played Don't Matter (Akon Cover), Show Me Love, When It's Over Now, Forget You, and I Guess You Could Call It Love. Their guitar player, Jason, Vieira, jumped into the crowd and he went right over my head. That was really cool. When they were done playing, I went to go say hey to them. I swear they are the nicest band I have ever met. I talked to them for a little while and then I went to go see Pierce The Veil. I had already seen them once before and they were amazing. I was stoked. I got in the front and I was determined to be the girl that got on stage during Yeah Boy And Doll Face. But alas, I got sick during the song right before YBADF and I was livid. They played
Besitos
The Boy Who Could Fly
Bulletproof Love
King for a Day (Without Kellin Quinn)
Yeah Boy and Doll Face
Caraphernelia

After PTV, was All Time Low. They made funny jokes about boners and ATL being in the ATL. I love it when they do that. They played

Warped Tour was so much fun and I can not wait for next year.
