Idaho!

Hey, Warped Tour faithful: This is Rachel, managing editor at AP, and I'll be your Warped Tour guide for the next 10 days.

So, right now I'm waiting for the cab to come pick me up at my lovely airport hotel and take me to Idaho Center Amphitheatre so I can officially start my run on Warped Tour. Waiting for cabs seems to be the new theme of my blogs.

Anyway, I safely made it from Cleveland to Boise last night. When I first checked in at Hopkins in Cleveland, I was a little nervous as the United peeps informed me my flight to Chicago was delayed, and it looked like I'd probably miss my connection to Boise, which was also the last flight out of Chicago to Idaho for the night. Great. So, after a flurry of activity where the nice woman tried to book me on another airline to get me to Chicago in time, another United employee realized that there was no way I'd miss my connection to Boise because the plane that was picking me up in Cleveland to go to Chicago was the exact plane continuing the Boise. How lucky is that? The guy told me I should probably start playing the lottery. Needless to say, I had just enough time in Chicago to deboard and buy some Doritos before re-boarding. I guess if you have to have a lay-over, that's the absolute best kind to have.

So now I'm in Idaho. From what I've (kinda) seen of it so far, it looks really pretty. Granted, I landed at 11 p.m. and I can really only see what's right outside the hotel, but I think it's probably a pretty rad (and under-appreciated) state. So, we'll see if the Warped masses can confirm this for me.
