dammit, it thought they were making an opera out of that video game, Far Cry.
but then i realised i dont care because i dont play video games.
then i got mad when i saw what it was.

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

the fringe is the center now,
hey boys that's great

when i woke up in hawthorne,
i took ocean down to the fairground to see everyone
so beautiful that i drown in the waves of the haircuts
spin kicks and jumps
well i got my bottled water and my nachos,
it came in under twenty bucks

badbrain (April 17, 2009)

Fringe is a pretty good show

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

I've been meaning to check out Dollhouse.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

you should probably get another pocket protector since you broke your last on in that library incident

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

I've got a condom in my wallet. Maybe one day I can use it with a pretty lady!

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

when they handed out condoms in 6th grade, the first thing i did was make a sweet water balloon and threw it at a girl during recess. it meant i liked her.

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

I did the same thing but during freshman orientation at college.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

you threw a condom at a 6th grade girl at your college orientation? wow, all i did was eat all my meals in the bathroom.

badbrain (April 17, 2009)

That's ok, not as good as Fringe or LOST and shit. It's watchable, but if it got cancelled tomorrow I wouldn't care at all or feel annoyed at the unresolved storyline.

They put Eliza Dushku in some nice outfits, she was a dominatrix last ep

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Uh, pix or flix?

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

she took her shirt off in some direct to dvd movie. youd be better off googling that.
ur jerkin

lostandclowned (April 17, 2009)

No one saw this coming.

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

It's just a perfect summation of why everyone involved with Warped Tour is a huge douche hose.

skankbook (April 17, 2009)

I see what you did there.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

My grandma has a museum?

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

The fact that you call it Pop Pop means that you're not ready for it.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

i do call my grandpa Pop Pop so that joke hit home for me when i first watched it.

because he had sex with me in the attic once. (twice)

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

Rape jokes > rape

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

who said anything about rape?

badbrain (April 17, 2009)

Yeah I call mine Pop Pop too. Pop Pop and Mom Mom. I had a Me-Ma but she died

Dante3000 (rich) (April 17, 2009)

There's something ironic about a band who once played guerrilla style shows at Warped Tour, now playing the offical documentary premire.
-Dante

pabsad (April 17, 2009)

not quite ironic, but i see where you're going

MN_punkmaster-skaman (April 17, 2009)

The only bands worth checking out this year on the Minneapolis date: Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Big D and the Kids Table, Bouncing Souls, Gallows, P.O.S., Less Than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, TAT, the A.K.A.s, Westbound Train.

I don't know.... is that enough to go check out? Anti-Flag is really just a big maybe, but fuck... no Flogging Molly or NoFX there this year?

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

most of those bands are probably gonna end up touring together a month after warped ends so , i wouldnt bother.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Sunshine + dirt + kids + bands = no fucking way

MN_punkmaster-skaman (April 17, 2009)

I've been thinking of going to this music fest they have closer to my location because Atmosphere, William Elliot Whitmore, Junior Brown and Wilco are playing.

Sunshine + dirt + hippies + bands + bros there to see Dave Matthews band = no fucking way?

Which one is more tolerable? That festival or Warped Tour?

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Hippies added into any math equation involving me equals instant hostility and need for firebombs.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (April 17, 2009)

Q. What's yellow and red and looks good on hippies?
A. Fire

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Too bad Patchouli oil isn't extremely flammable.

skankbook (April 17, 2009)

I'd wait until we hear what the set up is like this year from one of the first dates. They already said there's only one main stage, so if that means you're going to have to run around and skip the Bouncing Souls to check out TAT (unless they're larger than I thought they were), then it may not be worth it.

I'm also confused by the lack of NOFX, it's been 3 years.

the_other_scott (April 17, 2009)

Big D and the Kids Table are fucking awful.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

yes they are.

fod (April 18, 2009)

agree

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

If, you know, you want to call Joel Madden and tell him how much he sucks at existing.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

He's got the reverse midas touch, everything he touches turns to shit

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

It's official, everything you touch turns to suck.

miniblindbandit (April 17, 2009)

wouldn't that mean that he would turn into gold and everything else would turn into madden?

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

...or mufflers.

Dante3000 (rich) (April 17, 2009)

Billy Coragan makes my soul sad.
-Dante

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Mine too, I like that he freaked out a few years ago saying people 'weren't ready' for the music he was making as if he were motherfucking Marty McFly at the Under the Sea dance.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

out on tour with smashing pumpkins
nature kids, yeah, they aint got no function

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

It's official, everything you touch turns to suck.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

ah, you turned my venture bros. reference around on me......it stings.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Stings like a Monarch dart?

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

stings more like testicular tortion
also, boo on you for not getting that pavement ref.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Haven't listened to Pavement since Wowee Zowee came out. I liked them live better than on record.

badbrain (April 17, 2009)

My friend just moved into his old house here in la plata

maverick (scott) (April 17, 2009)

So what city is this in? It doesn't say.

-Scott

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

I'm sure your awesome internet detective skills will allow you solve the case, Encyclopedia Brown!

When you cover Warped Tour, do you ever spend any time with dicks not in your mouth, or do you take breaks to help Aiden with their makeup?

-Dante

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

Im all for making fun of people, but we get it, he "sux dix." make fun of something else.

LinoleumMagazine (April 17, 2009)

I really wanna see one of you punch the other sometime. Or at least run into each other at a show and have a very awkward moment.

veganboyjosh (April 17, 2009)

It'll wind up being something like they're all drunk and sweaty and shirtless at the front of a show, and they'll wind up arms around each other singing along pointing at the ceiling, followed by the awkwardness after the song ends when they realize who they've been hugging for 2 minutes and 13 seconds.

MattRamone (April 17, 2009)

For a minute I thought it was an oddly specific amount of time but then I remember the time you told that's exactly how long it takes you to jerk off, and everything fell into place.

AnarchyPants (April 17, 2009)

8 Minutes.

miniblindbandit (April 17, 2009)

spring break '95!

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Spring Break 95 is basically what Insubordination Fest is this year.

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

really? then i dont know if i can go, i dont wanna miss the new seinfeld episode.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Boris the Sprinkler > than any Seinfeld episode

ffwoodycooks (April 17, 2009)

but, its must see tv!

veganboyjosh (April 17, 2009)

i think you could make the case that BTS > any tv episode.

baldsteve (April 17, 2009)

Yes I could, and I would win that argument.

veganboyjosh (April 17, 2009)

I would pay $20 to Kevin Lyman if he went 1 year without doing the warped tour. I can't stand seeing this guy's shit tour in every single fucking city.

LinoleumMagazine (April 17, 2009)

I think warped can be fun if there are some decent bands (I'm skipping this year, because TX aint getting any good shit).

But you sound like just the existance of warped is bothering you. It's not like there are warped tour tv commercials and billboards. Aside from this site, it's pretty easy to ignore.

LinoleumMagazine (April 17, 2009)

Is this the same movie as this?
http://www.punknews.org/article/31397

That movie wasn't that great.

SumWon (April 17, 2009)

Punx getting the 5 dollar member discount are stoked.
