Got to try out a new prototype mic on the akas. It sounded really cool.

Got to hangout in the bay a couple of days. Home is allways good. nuff said.

The generator crapped out on us right in the middle of the Architects set at Fresno. Had to have a replacement brought in.

Had a new band called Pour Habit for three days. The lead singer Chuck was pretty crazy.
 |

I’m thinking they get a significant amount of girls.

Its become widely known around my sound coworkers that I’m allways hungry. Sometimes someone will bring their leftovers for me which can lead to hilarious situations.
 |
| From Warped Tour |
and empty, clean venue. shoreline I think.
 |
| From Warped Tour |
can you find the busses?
 |

My stage is now next door to the Old School stage. On this run they have the Addicts.
 |
| From Warped Tour |
and on my stage I have Trulio Disgracias which, oficially has 26 members. Usualy only 17 or so came on my stage at any given moment. Mic’ing everyone was interesting to say the least. Thats three horns and five vocals on the frontline alone.

Its a fact of design that line arrays sound better when their flown in the air. Getting them in the air is an interesting subject.

This is a post dedicated to just one band, Therefore I Am from boston.
Alex on lead vocals likes to prowl the stage during their set
 |

Arrived at a venue called the Gorge.
 |
| From Warped Tour |
Seems aptly named. Everyone had been talking about it all tour and now I discovered why.
 |

My stage was radically different. We were right next to another stage so I had two PA’s right next to monitor world.

Chad the tm of Brokenside looking tough
 |
| From Warped Tour |
we also got to borrow a bigger PA that was (semi) flown
 |
| From Warped Tour |
and the well labled subs that none of the bands noticed.
 |
| From Warped Tour |
distro and amp land was a bit more complicated
 |
| From Warped Tour |
and I had a great view of Tom all day
 |
| From Warped Tour |
Chad also does backup percussion for Broken side
 |
| From Warped Tour |
its allways funny when a band member notices you have a camera

So we arrive at a venue called the Race City Speedway and I step off the bus to find that it is, in fact, a car racing course.
 |
| From Warped Tour |
and we were right in the middle of it

 |
| From Warped Tour |

 |
| From Warped Tour |
everyone lining up to get in

the most unusual thing about this date was that the local crew were very, very well marked. I’ve seen crews that all wear the same tshirt as a uniform, but this is totaly over the top.

| From Warped Tour |
well, not missing any of them.
all in all a good, dry, day. the tour uses little golf carts to carry stuff around so I was waiting all day for someone to start racing around the track, but sadly title dictated behavior and no one went for it.
Rocking takes a greater toll on some than others. Sometimes, when combined with other factors (such as an 8am load in call time) it can result in extreme fatigue.
It also takes its toll on gear. Sometimes requiring major surgery without the use of anesthetic.
A new band appeared today, and yes they rocked.
The now classic Therefore I Am rocking in the crowd.
Adam’s pose of furious drummer’s might. and the coolest kick drum I have seen. ever.
Rocking continues into the night.
Woke up the the next morning to some rocking of the side to side variety. It seemed allmost as if the bus was offroading. Upon further inspection I confirmed that the bus was in fact off the road.
Leroy’s a great driver but when they pull the road out from underneath you what is there to do?
