For years, all of my friends have gone to the Vans Warped Tour every year. I never have. I never felt like it. This year I do. But since the Warped Tour is so large and I might only get to see a minority of the bands, I decided to plan which ones I’d see ahead of time.
I even made myself a rubrik! I’ve given each category I wish to support a number which will be the amount of points a band will get if they fit into said category. Here, check it out:
- Name reconition (non-corporate)
- Band awesomeness
- Straight edgiehood lifestyle
- Vegetarian members
- Bush bashers 🙂
- Non-Christians
- Vegans
My friends say I’m a dork for turning a concert into homework, but I say I’m being efficient and true to my principles.
So now that I have my rubrik, I have to investigate all of the bands that are going to be playing:
