Warped tour!!

Warped Tour 2011 is right around the corner and I could never be as excited as I am! Alot of my favorite bands are going to be there this year and Im stoked to see them play. Iv seen alot of the bands already but they put on such a good show it makes me want to see them again. The Warped Tour was created in 1994 by Kevin Lynman, who got the idea while working on skateboarding shows such as the Vision Skate Escape and Holiday Havoc which included music with skateboarding contests. The Warped name comes from the short-lived Warped Magazine, published by Transworld, which covered surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and music.
As well as music, this tour brings many attractions, including a half pipe for skaters and bikers. The tour also features many booths creating a flea market-like atmosphere, having tents for each of the bands to sell merchandise, independent record labels, magazine publishers, non-profit organizations, and sponsors looking to market their products to the tour's audience. Many of the bands will retreat to their tents after their performance in order to meet up with the fans and sign autographs. 2011's Warped tour has bands like Of Mice & Men, A Day To Remember, Miss May I, and many others.
