so yesterday was warped, los angeles!! sooo fun! I didn't meet any bands (well I talked to pat from the maine while in line for a minute) so I didn't get to give ftsk my drawing. I was thinking about just leaving it at their merch table for someone to give it to them, but I'll get it to them the next time I see them.
I'm reaalllyy sore and tired. I saw about 11 bands, but didn't catch the entire sets of all of them since lots were playing at the same time as each other.
(I'm going to use the words "moshing" and "skanking" a lot in this, fyi. look up what they mean if you don't know. lol)
The Maine was playing first, which sucked. we didn't have that much fun because we were on the way side and we weren't really in the mind-set for warped yet. if they were playing later in the day it would have been awesome. anyway, after we watched a couple songs for we the kings and a couple songs from saosin (both from afar though, it's way too hard to get to the pit just to leave) Then we went over to another stage and a reggae-ish ska band called westbound train was playing so we hopped into their skank pit and danced around. there was a guy smoking a blunt in the middle of the circle and it was hilarious and weird hahaha.
after that we stayed in that spot for forever the sickest kids to come on. my friend who I was with, Laura, and I really wanted a pit so we and a couple other really fun girls in the crowd had a little dance mosh pit going on. I crowdsurfed but got dropped on my back, ow. then around the last few songs an actual mosh pit broke out. it was SOO HOT AND TIRING. I was DYING in that pit. so fun.
after then we got snowcones and ate those while watching this providence for a little while, then moved on to streetlight manifesto. I was watching the skank pit for a few songs before I decided I just had to get in it for the last song, but right when I got in it went from a nice dancey skank pit to much more harder core of a mosh pit. they were AMAZING though. I wish I could have caught their whole set.
then Laura and I hung around for a while until All Time Low was on. they were SO AMAZING. I fucking love ATL. they were on main stage so they had a really long set. <3 for the first few songs it was just intense pushing and I was getting really mad that there wasn't a pit yet, but then one broke out right next to us and it was really fun, but kind of small. then jack (the guitarist) was like to some kid in the crowd "HEY YOU KID IN THE RED SUNGLASSES AND HAT, START A GIANT MOSH PIT" so right in the middle of the crowd a huuuge mosh pit broke out and it was killer! it was so big I pretty much just skanked because there were so few people running into me. haha. I crowdsurfed three-ish times for them. once I got pretty far then dropped, but a guy right standing where I fell was like WANNA GO BACK UP? and grabbed my waist and threw me back on top of the crowd. so I count that as two times. while up there I heard "leah?" and laura was crowdsurfing right next to me!! so we were both like HEY LET US DOWN so we got back in the crowd/to the mosh pit and moshed more. then at their last song I crowdsurfed all the way to the front and out, which I always do for ATL. like, I always end up crowdsurfing right as jack is in the crowd, so I'm always like a foot away from him haha. (same thing happened at bamboozle left.)

this is getting really long so I'm going to end it with, after that we listened to the white tie affair from afar, then later jumped into a NoFX skank pit for their last song, and then were in the crowd not expecting much for 3oh!3 but their mosh pit broke out right next to us and it was REALLY REALLY hardcore. like SOOO hardcore. it was the sickest pit we were in all day. so insane and fun haha.

okay I'm done. bye bye.
