Warped Tour '06

This summer marks my good friend Jaime's last outing with the Warped Tour. This year, in the role of accountant, she's tolerating (barely) the insane heatwaves that have swept the country from the comfort (ahem...) of a tour bus. Yech! It's exciting as hell, I'm sure, but not a position I envy. And for completely selfish reasons I can't wait until it's over and I get to hang with my Larchmont Pizza obsessed friend again.

Of course, there's always the mid-summer L.A. Warped date, which gives us the opportunity to catch up and exchange hugs. And see some rock? Theoretically, I suppose. I kinda' missed the shows. It didn't help that it was a weekday and I had to spend the better part of the afternoon chasing down The Roots and finding photographers in Toronto (I would kill for a shoot in L.A. these days). But I finally managed to head over to Dodger Stadium around 5pm, Larchmont Pizza in hand. With my delivery mission as top priority I went straight to the tour buses to find Jaime's office. After that we got talking, I caught up with a few other girls I know on the tour, and Jaime showed off her new MacBook with a crazy, warpy photo booth. We were laughing so hard at our bug eyes and pinched faces that I completely missed Joan Jett's set. Instead we settled for the entertainment of some old, uncoordinated go-go dancers in the catering tent.
