That Post-Grad Life...Red Rocks style

Welcome back, friends! I've taken a little break since Warped Tour's end, but I thought why mess with a good thing? I might as well keep blogging while I have things to talk about (and while I still have people pretending to read my blog!). It's been almost two weeks since I got home from my summer on the road, and I've done a little bit of nothing, and a whole lot of somethings.

Fond Fare-WARPED: Warped Update #8

Warped Tour started and ended with a sunrise. From the sunrise on my front porch the morning of my birthday, to this morning's warm orange salute, my cross-country adventures have come to a close once more. It's August 5th, and I just got home from an early morning run to drop off a friend off at the airport for his final flight home. Warped Tour is over and done, another summer on the books. These past eight weeks have been exhausting, but they have also been some of the most fun I have ever had.

A Day in the Life of Warped: Mini Update #7

I thought it might be time for me to do a small "Day In the Life" so that during this 10-day run without a day off (read: blogging). Every person's day runs a little differently than the next out at Warped Tour. The way I see it, there are five different basic groups of people on Warped: Production team, stage crew, artist team/merchies, non-profits, and artists themselves.

Mid-WARPED in the Midwest: Warped Update #6

Hey friends, happy Monday! Today I write you from a bottom bunk on the bus of Denver friends Air Dubai. I've known (and occasionally worked for) this band over the past 7 years, so having them out on warped as well has been a true joy. Today is our second to last off-day of tour, and the IFD crew has chosen to head back to Chicago to enjoy a bit more downtime at home. Since I wouldn't have the same luxury of going home or spending time with friends and family like they all do, I chose to jump ship for the day to spend some time with these guys in Indianapolis, IN instead.
