On this trip I've been experiencing America one microcosm at a time. Van's Warped Tour is a weird mix of teenage ideals and the consumerism that surrounds it. It's youth in America.
Riff Raff was boring while I was in the photo pit but eventually woke up. Maybe he was as hungover as I.
Baby Baby killed it as always. Love those guys.
Weezer is rare breed of band that will make make me unashamed to dance like an idiot and headbang to pop-rock riffs for over an hour (even though this is my natural state). It's obvious at the point that they're just having fun and I can dig that.
Also, a fight broke out during Say It Ain't So #wrestlewithjimmy
I covered this event as a part of the UTEP Prospector. Our original coverage can be found here: http://www.theprospectordaily.com/showcase/2015/06/28/el-pasoans-pack-downtown-for-streetfest-2015/

Rarely have I seen a crowd go so hard as during Rob Zombie's performance of Superbeast. Dozens of people had to be pulled out of the crowd near the stage. This allegedly prompted a severely inebriated woman to make her way to the control panel and pull random cords to stop the show. After the song, the show stopped for a solid five minutes while everything was put back in order and more people were pulled from the crowd. It was the third song of the night.
