How I was able to accomplish my once-in-a-year experience on going to the Warped Tour

leave a comment »

It’s considered a step on going to be the next punk rocker powerhouse. My first experience on going to the Warped Tour really gets my adrenaline pumping up. With my recent win on the Warped Reporter website for filling out surveys and stuff, not to mention that every Warped tour stop should have a form of a constant, public transit link to ferry passengers from their hometowns to the concert venue and so on, it seems that mission has finally been accomplished.

Going to the Warped Tour is like going to a special operationg in the armed forces. It would had been nice if I were to go to the 10th anniversary edition of the Vans Warped Tour back in 2004 (I was planning to go to the Vancouver stop at that time), but had I went there without explaining my uncle A.J., he would be EXTREMELY mad at me. I would have gone into a “covert operation” on going to the Warped Tour at that time.

Anyways, back to my scenario. This year’s Warped Tour was held at “The Flats at Arrow Hall” in Mississauga, which is situated at the International Centre. Now, this has finally put into my “books” of my planned report, that I will plan to present to Kevin Lyman, the founder of the Vans Warped Tour in the near future. Take my advice from my fellow colleague, Ed Drass. He doesn’t drive, but he believes that better public transit access should be made all across the GTA. Ed Drass can be appeared on most major newspapers all across Canada, but most importantly, his article “In Transit” can be seen in the Toronto edtion of the free daily newspaper, Metro. Although he does not know what the Warped Tour is, he is quite impressed on what I had made on my blog.

I was thinking of doing a special request on hiring someone to create a special cover page on the Warped Tour and Public Transit. I’m still thinking about it….

My birthday is coming up, it’s just around the corner……lol
