Break out the tents and tables...

Former Intern Brian surveys the scariness of our tour storage area.

I can’t quite believe Warped Tour is about to start (didn’t it JUST end?), but once again we find ourselves about to get ready for another summer of no sleep, lots of dirt, lots of sun, canned water, long drives and most importantly, the chance to talk to tens of thousand of young people about important social issues. This summer we are excited to be taking the ONE Campaign and Oxfam back out again, and expect to be adding a few more partners in the coming weeks.

Former Intern Brian flew in to Long Beach today to help me get ready for the tour. I was pleased to see that he kept the Bonnaroo mohawk he got the week before. It looks pretty good for a free haircut, I have to admit, and it’ll fit in nice on Warped. As soon as he hit the ground we headed over to the ‘Very Scary Storage Unit’ that contains all of our tour stuff. It looks like a non-profit tabling junkyard, ‘how many tents do we own!’ was Brian’s first response when I opened the door. We managed to get through everything and get loaded up, tomorrow we pick up our tour friend Sumner and head out to Pomona to get set up. We’re pretty excited about the months ahead, and many more updates will be coming soon…
