So, I'm sure most of you know what Warped Tour is. If not, read below.

Warped Tour is a touring music and extreme sports festival. The tour is held in venues (generally parking lots or fields upon which the stages and other structures are erected). The BMX/skateboarding shoe manufacturer Vans has sponsored the tour among others every year since 1995 and it is often referred to as the Vans Warped Tour.

---
Warped Tour organizers have firmed up a majority of the venues for the 2008 edition
The traveling festival will once again run from June to August 2008 all over the U.S. and Canada. The tour, in its 14th year, was founded by Kevin Lyman, who recently co-founded the Taste Of Chaos tour, entering its fourth year.

Who's going this year? (:
Talk about your past Warped experiences.
Talk about what bands you're excited to see.
Warped Veterans can tell people what to expect, what to wear, and what to bring. They can also warn.

I might be going on June 2nd.

BTW, I know there used to be a Warped thread, but it's gone now.
So, I decided to make a new one.

BRING A BOTTLE CAP.
I know that sounds weird, but when I went to Warped last year they gave you water, but wouldn't let you keep the cap.

I also brought a facecloth. I used it when I got out of mosh pits to dry my face.

^yeah, we brought bottles of water in, and they took our bottlecaps
(funnily enough they didn't search my bag)

Most venues let you bring in up to one liter of water, it has to be unopened when you get there and they make you open it at the door. - Take advantage of that, grab a drawstring backpack, and buy a liter bottle ofwater and freeze it the night before. It will take awhile to melt, but when it does, you have a cold pack/ ice cold water
provided that you remember your bottlecap

Does anyone know if I'll be able to get a can of Mosh Water?
I want a can soooo bad. Not to drink, but just to have.
I couldn't find it last year. Then again, last year was my first year and I was so confused.
