Here's the deal: it's been a busy week. You could say it's been too hot to post. It's true. Next week I'll be back, but until then - I'll be relaxing at my parent's home in Massachusetts, and getting to see Jesse this Sunday at Warped Tour. And Warped Tour, my friends, is always good for a laugh. Take, for instance, this picture I scanned from the 2002 Warped Tour:

Something Corporate
(when I was totally in love with

Leaving Through The Window
- not many songs incorporate my name into the lyrics, this album did it
once

Alkaline Trio were the first band to play, and after that I planted myself at the Drive-Thru stage. I saw
RX Bandits

The Starting Line,

Of course, this year, there's no act I'm more excited to see than my husband and his arms hugging me.
Do you have any Warped Tour memories? Are you going this year? Let's all share the good stuff - who'd you get your picture taken with? Best Warped act you've seen? A funny memory? A horrible memory? I know you're out there! Let's discuss.
