Another hot and sweaty day at the Van's Warped Tour!

That’s me and overnight radio stud Andypants at Warped on Saturday.  It was hot and sunny as usual, and we had a great time. 

In this picture, I’m with Ryan Seamon who is the new drummer for The Brobecks. He was playing drums on Warped with the artist known as Jeffree Star, and that’s the rest of the band with us.  Not pictured is Jeffree Star, who wears women’s clothing and has pink hair.  He/she is the self-proclaimed queen of the Warped Tour.  But Ryan is a cool dude who grew up in Utah and is happy to be part of the Brobecks.

And this is me hanging with our web guy Zack.  He shot a bunch of video and is working on an online video of the Warped Tour.  I had a blast at Warped and now it’s time to get ready for the X96 Maverik Big Ass Show on Saturday, September 27th at USANA Amphitheater.

Van’s Warped Tour Information

Share:

Friday, June 27th, 2008 @ 12:25PM

It's gonna be a hot one! I better cover my head with sun block.

Warped Tour Information

Saturday at the Utah State Fair Park 10th West and North Temple.  Box office opens at 9 am, gates open at 11am.  Tickets are $30 at the door, cash only!  They will also be available all day at Smith’s Tix.  The schedule of the bands will not be known until the day of the show.

It will be sunny and hot!  Stay hydrated and wear sun block. You can bring one factory sealed bottle of water (up to one gallon) into the show.  There will be several free water stations throughout the fair park and it’s a good idea to hang onto your water bottle and refill it at these stations.  Dehydration is the number one reason people end up at the first aid stations.  Stay hydrated.

You can bring a backpack or a bag into the venue, but it will be searched.  You can bring a point and shoot camera, but not a professional camera.  A professional camera is one that has, or appears to have, a telescopic lens.  No video recorders or audio recording devices.  Cell phones are OK.

Bring plenty of cash!  ATM’s will be available inside the venue and in the box office for the first time ever!

Things NOT to bring:

Pens, pencils, any sharp objects including spike bracelets, spiked belts, spiked choke collars.  No weapons of any kind.  Nothing that is illegal.  No skateboards are allowed going in, but will likely be for sale in the venue.  Do not bring dogs … or cats, or any other critters.

Children.

Bringing children and babies is discouraged.  There will be an air-conditioned parents room.  It is suggested that if you bring babies and young children (which, again, is not a wise idea) keep them cool and safe.  Make sure you know where the parent’s room and first aid stations are located.  The tour’s policy is that children under 8 do not need a ticket.  But little kids don’t want to spend the day in 100-degree heat.

X96 Maverik Big Ass Show 2008

Share:

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 @ 5:58PM

Here it is 4:58 pm and I haven't posted a blog yet.

I’ve been busy as hell for the last few weeks putting together the 2008 X96 Maverik Big Ass Show.  Mark the date of 9/27/08 in your calendar and plan on joining us this year at USANA Amphitheater.  We’re excited to try the show at USANA because they have a much better sound system and we can FINALLY crank up the volume.  The sound will be much better than we’ve ever had.  We also have a few other surprises coming ... hopefully cheaper tickets than last year, but that’s not a done deal yet.

I have confirmed 8 bands so far ... but I can’t tell you about it just yet.  We’ll announce it on August 4. Only one of the bands confirmed has ever played any of the past Big Ass Shows, so expect a different line up this year.

Here is the email I received today. I’ve already resigned from X96 because I no longer need to work! I’m gonna buy that big house on Easy Street! Thank goodness for such wonderful surprises in life. This is clearly written by a legitimate attorney who has a full grasp of the English language.

I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at Eight million seven hundred thousand US dollars($8,700,000:00) is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be
confiscated.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage.

All legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology.

I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Please you can also contact me at once to indicate your interest on my alternative email At: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
