Boys In The Band

You're walking like you never seen the light
You're walking like it every night
But I've never seen you dance, and I've never heard you sing
So how can it mean a single thing
It's all so rudimentary
-The Libertines

Last Wednesday was Warped Tour. It was over all a pretty great day. And in the course of that day I managed to lose my lip ring and my phone(for about 20mins). The phone was found thank god, but the lip ring wasn't. And I think I might have to get it re-pierced now. But whatever. I saw a bunch of new bands this year which was really cool. And unlike all the previous years I actually had a schedule, so we were all pretty busy seeing a band for the majority of the day. That definitely made the day go by faster, but it was all good. Here's the list of bands I saw:

All Time Low- 2nd time
The Almost- 1st time
Bless The Fall- 1st time(the phone drama happened during their set though so I didn't see the whole thing which really sucked)
Boys Like Girls- 2nd time(one word...PAUL!!!)
Evaline- I didn't see their set(saw them at TOC though), but we did meet them at their tent and got a picture
Family Force 5- 3rd time(met them again at their M&G...wasn't that much fun)
Holiday Parade- 2nd time(we got a fist pound hell yeah!!)
The Matches- 1st time
My American Heart-1st time(I LOVE this band!!! We met Dustin while waiting in line to get in)
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- 1st time(I felt kinda sick during their set so we left, but we came back for the last song)
Spill Canvas- 1st time(They are AMAZING live!!!)
Seven Story Fall- 100th time(Not really, but I've seen them a bunch. I was soo proud of them!)
Yellowcard- 1st time(Okay, I really only heard them while waiting for MAH to start)

Some guy took my picture and then one of me and Lauren together for a tattoo and piercing magazine called "Luxury Ink" that should be on stands in October he said. I can't seem to find any information on the magazine though. Kinda shady...

We didn't get as much free stuff this year like usual which was a bummer. And I was hoping that maybe Steven from SURS would be there since it was Wednesday and they do the whole "Warped Wednesday" thing on FUSE. But he wasn't. =( One of my goals in life is to meet him.

We've got a lot of big plans for CHAOS which I'm really excited about. I read somewhere that only 1 in 10 new magazines ever make it. We have a lot of work to do to set ourselves apart, but I know we can do it. I think we've gained a lot of experience over the past few months, but we've still got a lot of learning to do. We've made a lot of really good friends and connections "in the business" you could say that I think will help us. I think if we stay true to our original goals and stay true to ourselves and our vision, we can be the next AP magazine. Plus the fact that we're actually going to school for this will be a HUGE help lol.

Today I'm listening to a band from Dryburgh, Scotland called The View. I first heard of them from the NME tour they did with The Horrors. I can't really understand what they're saying when they speak, but the music's good lol
