I remember the one time that the Warped Tour came to Council Bluffs. It was fun, but they never returned.
Actually, it wasn't fun. It was over one hundred degrees outside, a styrofoam cup full of water cost $3, and I was on a perscription that made me photosensitive- burn easily. We arrived at eleven, and by five, I was throwing up and faint. My mother came to pick me up, but went to the wrong gate. I was looking for her when the drummer for Bad Religion came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder to tell me that my mom was outside the gates looking for me. She had gone to the band and crew entrance and just started knocking on trailers asking where I was. I didn't get to see Bad Religion, or Lagwagon, or any of the other bands I wanted to see.
I would like to retry having a good Warped experience, but I don't want to deal with the drive, the tickets, and the heat. Maybe next year.
