Indeed, every boardwalk journey was an exercise in pain, but I got to be less of a midget. This weekend at Warped I wore Chuck Taylors, not only to blend in, but to protect my feet, even though I wasn’t planning on mosh pitting. I just knew there would be a lot more walking involved in a potentially gross parking lot. I was right. My sock tan wasn’t too bad, so I wasn’t terribly upset with the results of wearing the Chucks.

yes yes yes. i got to see man man,tapes n tapes,the cribs, and art brut. couldnt make it to the end shows. guess it was those 24oz beers i was drinking. during the cribs someone decide it might be a good idea for me to drink some very warm vodka. which in turn made me puke. but i didnt feel bad because one of the cribs was bleeding from the mouth. art brut rocked in a badass way. last time i saw them i was unable to stay to see the whole show. i hear they are co- headlining a tour with w.a.s. i will be there for sure.

The Stills have 2 singers now. The singers form the last album only sang 2 of the songs on their new album. So, you probably saw the second singer singing.
