My final Warped Tour began with waiting in the shade to preserve what little energy I had. While waiting in line, I had one specific realization: I should’ve retired years ago. I was getting too old for this. Once I found the one and only Lisa Johnson, Rock Photographer, the day commenced. This is my second year taking her TEI: Life in the Pit class. Trashboat was the first band we all shot. They put on an energetic performance and everyone went absolutely wild. For those who

Let’s be real. Warped Tour sucks. Before you stop reading, hear me out. We wake up at the crack of dawn to arrive three to four hours early to the venue. If you’re lucky, it’s below 100 degrees. If you’re not, well, rest in peace. By 9 a.m., people are dropping like flies. Surviving until gates open is a privilege.
