| Warped Tour
Anyone going, at any of the other dates? I could really care less about half of the bands (whoe fest is sort of... eh) but I'm probably going to see Jack's Mannequin. (Selma.) Because I love them.
Let me know! I'd love to know how it is for you guys, if any of you go...

| Not this year - the lineup is waaaaaaaaaaaay weak.
Jack's Mannequin is OK, but they're playing small clubs later this year.
Gogol Bordello was always a highlight, but they are touring on their own.

| I wanna go see Underoath at Mayhem Festival, but Slipknot's going to be there, so it's going to be insane :/
I don't have a ticket to Warped tour yet, but my friend has an extra, so I might go.

| I won't be going. Parents want me to go with either them or another parent... pfft.
They went to concerts when they were my age with friends. Then they all got drunk and ended up in the wrong town and not showing up until 6 am. >_>
I wanna see The Used D:

| That's why they won't let you, so you don't do the same thing 
My mom just said I had to go with someone she knows, meaning not the guy who offered me a ticket. Which is too bad, 'cause I bet if she met him she'd like him. He likes boys, anyway. Or at least half of the time...

| I don't like having people over. Nothing to do here. I'd be kinda awkward to bring my parents to their house...

See, this is why I hate people. No, it isn't a lynchable offense in Texas. Obviously, you've never been here, silly Austin is tolerant. Of almost everything.

| Yeah, our rates are a bit better, but, it's also a smaller city... Downtown houston gets nasty, in places. I've been in some of the bad parts before. Mostly I just avoid it, though.
