I'll have to admit, I got a kick outta this. Rinkrat and I went to the Warped Tour on Sunday. He took a TON of photos and I basically kicked it at the Old School Stage and rocked out to classics from my youth. I spent the day listening to sweet little ditty's like "Abolish Government" by T.S.O.L., "I Don't Care About You" by Fear and "Johnny's Got a Problem" by D.I. while downing free Monster drinks and pretty much loving every minute of it. Rinkrat submitted his photos to the LAist and I wrote a little piece about my day at the concert. Well, it ends up it was one of the Week's Most Recommended posts out of literally hundreds of posts.
