Chula Vista
Greetings, Warped blog faithful (aka Scott and my p-rents). Today was a beautiful day in Chula Vista, which I'm told is near San Diego. If I've learned anything on this tour, it's that I'm not super familiar with California geography, but I know we're pretty far south.
Right now, I'm sitting next to Mikey Galt of MySpace, typing this here blog. I'm only allowing him to stay on the seat next to me because it's freaking freezing on the bus, and his muscular body is radiating warmth. (He may or may not have dictated that last sentence.) All in all, it was a pretty smooth day as far as Warped's concerned. We had a ton of street teamers (and all their friends) helping us out today, which was super nice, and freed me up to do some other pressing work. So a big, big thanks to all our street teamers who worked super hard and who also laid down the law during our Gym Class Heroes signing (which was nothing short of epic).
The only complaint I had about today's crowd (and "complaint" may be a little strong)? No respect for yellow "Caution" tape. I mean, if it's up, it's up for a reason. You're not supposed to duck under it. In case you're wondering, it's not put up so we can purposefully make you walk further to get to the Ernie Ball Stage. It's so you don't get taken out by a road case. Believe me, after 10+ hours working Warped, no one pushing a road case is going to care if they take out a couple of jerks that decided they were cooler than the caution tape. Let that be a warning for all of your future Warped experiences. Other than that, today was pretty nice, and I can't believe there are only three days left...
Right now our bus is heading all the way back up north to Mountain View (which I've learned is near San Francisco). I'm not sure who put together this crazy routing, but I'll have driven (well, okay, ridden) up and down the California coast three times by the time Warped is over. But hey, whatever works. We had a super early bus call tonight (9:30), but the rumor is we're stopping at an In-N-Out Burger in about 45 minutes, so I am totally hoping that's a rumor that turns out to be true.
I'll let you know how that works out tomorrow.

Mikey is too skinny to steal body heat from. That bastard was probably trying to steal your body heat. He's sneaky like that.
Ha! You are SO correct.
