08/18/05 Warp tour is over!It‘s hard to believe that the warped tour is finally done. This was a long tour, two months, but it went by fast. I think we did 45 shows this summer, which is probably a record for us! I think the best part of the tour is getting to hang out with so many other bands and cool people working on the tour. We made a lot of new friends on the tour and got to see a lot of great bands. If you went to a warped show, then you already know about all that. We want to thank all the other bands for being so cool on the tour. With about 70 bands playing everyday and hundreds of bands playing throughout the course of the tour, it was impossible to meet everyone, but we had a great time with those we were able to hang out with.
We counted the other day, and I think we took 16 bands on the plane this trip. We think everyone was stoked, and no one got hurt! Thanks to the Transplants, Avenged Sevenfold, Rufio, MXPX, Mest, The Bled, Rancid, Simple Plan, Strung Out, No Use For A Name, The Vandals, Thrice, A Wilhelm Scream, Millencolin, Bedouin Soundclash, and Valient Thorr for taking a flight with us.
This warped tour turned out to be the biggest warped tour to date. More people came to the shows than ever before. They tell us we played in front of 666,000 people this summer over the two months of the tour. That‘s pretty insane when you think about it, that we were able to play in front of so many people.
All in all, it was a great experience for us this summer. Thanks to everyone for coming out to the shows!
Peace out
Dexter.
