Warped Tour 08 fashion!

Yes i know, i have slacked my hoods, just got back from Reno where i was at for the last 5 days, Prior to that i went to Vans Warped Tour in St. Helens OR (farmland) for free thanks to my homie in Seattle's Fall From Grace, Kenny B, hooking up the VIP status! Appreciated bro!
Anyway, it radically occurred to me how much of a role fashion plays at this punk-rock-pop tour for kids! I felt old, outta place, and unsure of what to do with myself at times, i am a performer, however i was not performing, i was simply a "fan" deprived of identity, nevertheless i enjoyed the vast array of people, more so than the bands in fact.
I snapped a few pics of the kids who were holding it down for Warped Tour before my camera died. One things for sure, this tour is all about making money, and so it does with a zealous onslaught of goodies for the kiddies!

hella drunk rockin' the blockbuster letters

inebriated with an open mouth...danger

uncertainty, while hipster with painted-on jeans attempts to cash in on flipflops

lots of chucks everywhere!

lots of stupid sunglasses...everywhere

her potential myspace photo with Tryg (fall from grace) isn't flying, nor are her new orange booty shorts...which were everywhere

these dudes are repping extreme fashion, a weed bandana, a white doo rag on a white boy, cocked hat, kanye wannabee glasses which prevent accurate vision, and undertones of mid-puberty...perfect!

this couple had no shame about themselves and were pleased to pose with pride. Rockabilly meets Nickelback, love it!

and here's my favorite guy strolling among teens with a Fat Albert tee while reminiscing about Woodstock, he stopped and posed like a king!

My friend got a grant to shoot pictures of kids on Warped tour. I know how you feel, I am old and out of place and awkward all the time.

That last post was me, Herb. I don't know why it says dead. Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
