They call it that because of the electri-city.
Wow.
Okay, first off, hi. My name is Scott Heisel; I'm the music editor over at Alternative Press and from today until a week or so from now, I'll be your Warped tour guide.
Oh, right, back to wow.
What the fuck, Scranton? Who gave you permission to have a huge-ass thunderstorm in the middle of the day? No one cleared that with me, and because of that, you will pay dearly. I don't know who exactly "you" in this situation is, but when I find out, hell will reign down upon you. Watch out.
So yeah, we had a really, really big storm today in Scranton, right as Relient K were taking the stage (and we were moments away from having our signing with the Devil Wears Prada). It got nasty really quick, and virtually the entire crowd was evacuated to under the pavilion at the venue we were at, which inadvertently gave the Aggrolites, who were playing on the Hurley.com stage, the biggest crowd of their career, most likely. (I, unfortunately, was not there to witness it as I had to go into crisis mode with Luis, our totally awesome booth worker, and our two mega-sweet street teamers, Rachel and [oh crap I forgot the other girl's name; if you're reading this, please don't kill me, other girl]).
Luckily, this was not a repeat of last year's calamity in Cleveland, and the sun poked through a half-hour or so later, letting all of the stages getting back on track. I personally only got to take in a few sets today but each one of 'em was a winner, starting off with back-to-back mainstage sets from Dr. Manhattan (who opened the whole day) and Against Me! (who dug deep into their back catalog, delivering "Walking Is Still Honest" and "Reinventing Axl Rose"). I also caught about half of Sky Eats Airplanes' set on the Hurley.com stage while I ate my dinner, and they had a pretty sizable crowd (albeit a crowd that just sort of stood there, waterlogged perhaps).
We just finished packing up our tent and now I'm sitting on our bus, getting ready to strap on my soggy shoes and head out to catch Gym Class Heroes. Should be a good one!
See y'all in Jersey tomorrow -- stop by the booth and gimme a high five, won't you?
