So, at 1:30pm me, Erica, and Kayla got onto I-96 to go to the Warped Tour at the Pontiac Silverdome, or rather, in the parking lot of the Pontiac Silverdome. We drove straigt there in 3 hours, give or take, because every exit Erica would make us get off to find a McDonalds and they were all closed until we got to the 3rd one. We got there at 4:30 or 5:00am with nothing to do, the sun was still down and we were the first ones there we parked at a gas station so Erica and Kayla could mix diet pepsi and Vodka together. It was supposed to be like only 3 shots, but turned out to be 10, so they got drunk fast. A while later we decided to park at a holiday inn instead. It was right across from the silverdome and parking there was $10. At 9am we went and started lining up with some other people. We kept busy calling people and talking to random people. Every once and a while people would come by with walkman and give us different bands to listen to and tried to get us to buy they're CDs, some were actually pretty good. at 10am they opened the gates, thats when we looked behind us, we were at the front of the line and the line wrapped around the silverdome, it was so long. It wasn't until 11am that we finally got through the last of thar gates and were in. It was already so hot at this point and they were selling water at $3 each with a limit. We found where Fallout Boy was playing and went to the stage, since they were the third band on the Bishop stage we were just gonna stay there until they came on. The crowd showed up really fast. We were all 3 rows up to the stage and Starting line was first. The moshpit started before they were ever on stage and it was intense. People were being smushed together and after ten minutes people were coming out looking like hell. Us 3 didn't stay in long. I went around and looked for free stuff until Fallout boy came on. They played a great concert and I waited until they came out after they'er set and I was like 5 ft away from them. After that I found Erica. Now, this is what the parking lot looked like. It was set up like a market place, a really busy market place you imagine would be in India or somplace, so it looked like an indian marketplace. There was litter everywhere from the moshpit, from just people walking around and there was no place to sit, no shade except for under some semi's so me and Erica found one to sit down and wait for Kayla. We were so hot and tired we were going to take off. We were heading towards the exit when we saw a fire engine with that hose thing on top of it spouting water. We stayed under for like 45 mins. We layed down in the middle of the parking lot and fell asleep, accidentally, I woke up to a guy saying "wake up, he thinks your dead" he was a cop and I got yelled at and had to wake K and Rica up. Then we went back to the semi's and laid there until My Chemical Romance was on. They were okay, and i loved sing Helena at the end with the crowd. After this the only once on stage was The Offspring at the Mike stage. OmyGod, they were awesome. The whole place was there and at least 40 people at a time were crows surfing and everyone was singing along to the Offspring. When they same "Keep them seperated" and "self esteem" it was one of the best ecperience of my life. The crowd cried out for an encore at the end, but to no avail. We walked back to the car, and hit the highway. Erica was driving on no sleep for 40 hrs so I had to take over so she wouldn't fall asleep driving. i had been awake for 30 hours, but I made it home, after listening to Green Day all the way up, county to change the flow, rolled down the window, turned on the heat, eading all the signs, singing annoying kids song, anything to keep me awake. I hit the pillow at 12:30 and woke up today at 2pm. I can't wake to next year. Me and Rica made a deal to crowd surf.
