We know, it’s been a while since our last blog post…and we apologize! We’ve been keepin’ it busy with the first couple dates of the Vans Warped Tour 2010. We had a tent set up at the first couple Cali dates of the tour, including Carson and Ventura. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet many new ones!
Unfortunately, we forgot the camera once again, so bare with us on this wordy/semi-pictureless blog. We promise to remember the camera next time!
(A few pics I snagged from my cell phone). Here’s a pic below of me with Dan from Four Year Strong. Dan was super nice and too legit to quit! We told him about our new project Give Clothing Co. and he seemed pretty thrilled.
Early into the first day at Carson’s Warped Tour, I was lucky enough to run into Steve Van Doren(Owner of Vans Shoes). We talked for a few mins and he mentioned how he started Vans shoes with his father 44 years ago! Which is hands down amazing! Not to mention, living proof, that if you stick with something long enough you’ll eventually reach the top. Steve was kind enough to give me TWO FREE PAIRS of Vans, one for myself and a pair for Joel. Sad to say, near the end of our day, while we were loading the trailer, someone stole them from us…It was a total bummer. However, meeting Steve himself was pretty inspiring!
Setting up and hanging out on the tour, was pretty exciting. Each day was a new adventure and jam packed with surprises. We checked out and meet a ton of bands from Confide to Set Your Goals, Motion City Sound Track to Parkway Drive. I’d recommend that everyone start their own clothing company, just to experience life on the road and hanging out with friends! Be sure to check us out near the end of Summer, on the final few dates of the Vans Warped Tour. We’ll keep you posted!
