Their motto or whatever thing is"Best Day Ever"
and you guys, it really was.
so, I'm gonna tell you the WHOLE day, and I will do it in chronological order.
Starting Tuesday night.
My parents and I are coming back from Juarez, and the ride to Warped is pending 'cause Erick's car broke down and so he's trying to talk his mom into driving us, and I'm in Mexico so I have no idea what's happened. We get to the bridge around 9, so my phone explodes and we have a ride! :D YES!
So i call anna belle cause she was gonna spend the night at mine so we could go to erick's early, 'cause she lives really far away and erick lives 2 blocks away, haha
We picked her up and then we went to mine and we had the hardest time falling asleep. We were finally drifting off (2am, we had coffee) and Paco calls me telling me he's trying to get me in for free 'cause he's friends with Jason from letlive. but i couldnt fall asleep after that til like 4 and we got up at 7:30. and then i didnt even get in for free(x
So we go to erick's at 9:30 we take off for his grandma, 'cause she was gonna spend the day with his mom in cruces and we get dropped off. It's eleven thirty and we're at warped tour and i keep saying that we need to know what time letlive. plays and is signing 'cause i need to meet Jason, but erick and anna are wandering to the main stage in the back, a band was already playing and we get there and it's letlive.!
So we missed half their set, but i got to see 3 songs that I knew and could sing along to(:
After that we went to the giant inflatable wall that is the setlist and planned out our day,
We then bought food and walked around all the little tents with merch and stuff, so i went to the letlive tent. and i bought a shirt that i love and got a poster for free. they were doing their signing at 1:30, so we left and refilled our waters at the hydration station haha and then somehow ended up back at the letlive. tent and Jason was there! So I told him i was Paco's sister and he gave me a hug on his behalf which was awesome and then he signed my poster and then i bought their new album and yes. And then we left to refill our waters and i realized i hadnt taken a picture with Jason and I went back and he was still there and i took a picture with him(: He told me that he tried to get me on the guest list but Paco called him when he didnt have signal cause they were driving and when he tried to call back in the morning Paco didn't answer, lol.

| I like his beard(x |
I'm covered in paint because we donated to a nonprofit organization that helps schools fund their art programs, and they gave us a little piece of cardboard with paint, and we painted each other(:
I think we watched man overboard (erick wanted to) after that and then we found ashlee.
So then Silverstein is on next at 2:50 and that conflicts with Chiodos, but Silverstein follows me on twitter so I felt morally obligated to watch them. I went with Ashlee cause Erick and Anna were feeling tired and it ruled. We stayed for the first half of their set 'cause I could see their setlist and I only knew the songs on the first half, haha. That's when i lost my voice. We left to Chiodos and they were midset, but I surprisingly knew every song they played except for one, but it was cool anyway, they havent released that album yet, they say.
Then we took some downtime, 'cause geez, it was cray cray, best type of fun eva!
Actually, I think erick and Jared were watching Motion city Soundtrack, and I wanted to watch Ice Nine Kills and Anna and Ashlee were waiting for NeverShoutNever after Motion City, so we all parted ways.
I watched Ice Nine Kills at 4:50 and it was a short set, like 5 or 6 songs, but they were on a tiny stage so it was really close and personal, not many people either, I was in the front against the barrier, in the middle! So i totally felt like the brutal metal was being sung to me(x They had their signing after, but I left to go find erick and Jared and then we went on a mission to find Anna and Ashlee. Their phones were dead. We didnt succeed so I went back to the Ice Nine Kills post cause they were still there and I talked to the drummer (he has long luscious locks, luscious enough to be a Pantene model. I'm not kidding.) and to the singer for a while and they signed a mini poster for me(:
It's like almost six now and we cant find Ashlee or Anna but we didn't mind cause we knew we'd find them at the Sleeping With Sirens set (6:30) later so we just chilled until then because we were ridiculously tired.
Anyway, I sat down for like 5 minutes then I had to get up and go to the stage were Sleeping With Sirens was gonna play 'cause everyone loves them and it was gonna be packed. I waited for half an hour in a sweaty crowd. And i did find Anna and Ashlee(x Ashlee sat it out tho, (cause she's lame!) cause she was tired?!?! It was SLEEPING WITH SIRENS!!
So it was super crowded and that particular set was crazy awesome! I knew every song because I aggressively memorized their new album before going(x (to avoid looking and feeling like an idiot). And then they played an acoustic song that I love and Chuy would hate them because he sings so damn high. Then they played a song off their new album that has the singer form Memphis May Fire as a guest because they were playing Warped too! So that was AWESOME. But the crowd got sooo crazy, there were girls flying over my head (crowd surfing) and random mosh pits opening up and I lost Anna! Luckily I had foreseen this scenario and told her to walk to the right at the end if we got lost and so I found her at the end(: But seriously, that was the best set, mostly because there were sooo many people and every single person was into it. I made a new friend(x we were both shouting lyrics and she turns around and goes, "we should be friends, over this band, we could probably be best friends" which is true, haha, so we exchanged numbers and lols guys, she's from Austin and I'm moving to SA so maybe well go to concerts together(x
So then we left, Erick's mom was waiting for us, there were 2 bands left to play, Bring Me The Horizon and Memphis May Fire, but we were beat and none of us were huge fans, so we left. Sweaty and tired and covered in paint and dirt.
And it really was the best day ever. It was totally worth all the money spent, plus the lack of voice, the sunburn, despite the constant application of sunblock throughout the day, and the soreness.(x
I will remember for eva! and I will do my best to go every year because it rocked in the very best way.
It wasn't even my favorite bands, Imagine how awesome it'll be when my favorite bands decide to do warped tour!
