An Awesome End to An Awesome Tour!

The Warped Tour went out with a bang in LA. Complete with fairies (I kid you not), GIRLS in speedos, reverse daycare (I’ll explain this beautiful invention), and the venue busting with half of LA’s population. So much so that I thought I was going to be hoisted up into a mosh pit just by trying to weave in and out of the crowds.

We tried to go out in the crowd to demonstrate the Polaroid PoGo printer, but I kept having to scrape my staff up off the ground after they were stomped on by loads of people. We did manage to get some fun pictures and meet FAIRIES. These girls were ADORABLE, wings and everything! I could barely believe it. They were over the top excited about the printer and we have the video to prove it!
As a teenager attending Warped Tour, the last thing you probably want is to haul along your parents (no matter how “rad, sick, and balling” they are). Unfortunately, some parents aren’t too excited about their teenagers going it alone. That is why some genius came up with REVERSED DAYCARE. You can go listen to Gym Class Heroes while your parents can go to gym class in the tent. I wish I knew about this when I was a teenager.
I remember saying at the beginning of the tour that this summer was sure to be full of boys in speedos. To my surprise, I haven’t seen many since Atlanta. However, yesterday I did see some girls sporting some gold speedos in high heels. I snagged them for their photo-op and they were really excited to put their picture on our “Wall of Fame”.
Yesterday was our busiest day yet. We had visitors from the Myspace tent, Warner Bros, and lots of other vendor booths stopping by to ask us how they could get their own Polaroid PoGo printer and telling me just how they planned to use it. There are so many creative people out there! I think it is safe to say that people are really psyched about the product.
This summer has been an amazing experience for both of us. Though we set out to “Leave Our Mark” across America, I think more people left their mark with us via the Polaroid PoGo printer and we have the pictures to prove it!!!!

LA Bound

Today Megan and I headed out for our last stop of the tour; Los Angeles, CA. We made an attempt at US Highway 1 but quickly learned that construction and one-lane areas accompanied by heavy traffic was not something that we were prepared to deal with. After diverting over to Highway 5 we saw nothing… literally. This particular section of the highway between San Fran and L.A. is surrounded by plains and some occasional hills on both sides for as far as the eye can see, not to mention the temp was hovering around 105 degrees; sure felt like Death Valley. Everyone has been talking about how they save one of the best stops for last, and Megan and I are really looking forward to it. See you out there!
