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

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.

I think what's astounded me the most so far has been how drastically different it has felt coming into Warped tour simply knowing the basics of how this tour runs in comparison to last time. In 2012 none of us had ever worked Warped Tour before, didn't know anyone, and were essentially flying by the seat of our pants. This time we know the drill. We've been to these venues before, met the people, and understand the daily routine.
