This blog is definitely NOT about a girl.

So tomorrow is Warped Tour in Cleveland. I'm old-school enough to say I've been going to Warped every year since 1997 and new-school enough to say I still get excited at the promise of a gajillion bands (some of which are totally killer) playing in my backyard every summer. This year, though, I won't be just a spectator: We're bringing our video camera down for some on-the-spot interviews with some of Warped's best and brightest. But in true AP fashion (or maybe just in true Scott Heisel fashion), I haven't scheduled anything with any band yet, rather leaving it more or less up to chance (or who I bump into in line for a churro). Who do you folks out there want me to track down and grill? Here's a list straight from WarpedTour.com of who's playing Cleveland tomorrow; leave me a comment and tell me which musicians I should track down and even better, what I should ask them. Nothing's off-limits (okay, except Victoria from Cobra Starship's phone number):

3oh!3, A Day To Remember, Against Me!, Aggrolites, Alesana, Anberlin, Angels and Airwaves, As I Lay Dying, Automatic Loveletter, Beat Union, Bedouin Soundclash, Blake, Bouncing Souls, Charlotte Sometimes, Cobra Starship, Evergreen Terrace, Every Avenue, Every Time I Die, Forever The Sickest Kids, From First to Last, Gym Class Heroes, Horrorpops, Jack's Mannequin, Just Surrender, Katy Perry, Know Lyfe, Lordz, MC Chris, Madina Lake, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Norma Jean, Oreskaband, Pennywise, Protest The Hero, Reel Big Fish, Relient K, Say Anything, Set Your Goals, Settings, Shwayze, St. Alivia Cartel, Story of the Year, Street Dogs, The Academy Is..., The Audition, The Bronx, The Fabulous Rudies, The Higher, We the Kings

Every Time I Die, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Against Me!, Bouncing Souls, and Four Year Strong, with an emphasis on the importance of interviewing the hilarious Every Time I Die.

I went to Cleveland last year, but decided on Detroit this year because of Chiodos, and because of distance (I live in Toledo). I think you should get Set Your Goals (I noticed the title of your blog haha)

Anyways, keep up the awesome blogs!

personally, I'd love to hear how The Academy Is... and the Audition are doing, and anything you can hear from Andrew McMahon is always a treasure.

A little late but hope you got around to Set Your Goals. (Nice blog-song reference by the way) A Day to Remember and 3oh!3 were fun to watch. They might be a cool interview.
