My most vivid Warped memory was from the Los Angeles Warped Tour in 2002. This was our first year on the tour and our first run that we've ever done in a bus. So for these shows I was well-rested and excited as hell to be a part of the festival. We were on the Drive-Thru stage that year, which was the size of a larger side stage. I remember the stage being set up in between the main entrance and the pedestrian walkway. By the time we were about to go on, no one could even cross though that walkway the crowd was so huge. When we finally started playing, the crowd erupted into what seemed like one giant moshing and crowd surfing pit. Our friend Ian, bassist from New Found Glory, even came out to play our last song with us so I was free to rock out in the barricade. This was not only a Warped Tour highlight, it is a huge highlight from my life.
