Warped Tour

Asbury Park Festival Area, Asbury Park, NJ

I was at this show, but didn't see much of it. I was broadcasting live reports for WHTG from the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel overlooking the festival area.

I did interviews with Long Beach Dub Allstars & Sum 41 (Dickie of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones was scheduled to do one; he showed up saw all the people hanging out, mumbled something about going to get some food, and then fled the scene without returning.

In between reports, I was able to watch the show from perhaps 8 or 10 stories up, often with the simultaneous sound of two bands playing on the multiple stages. We had hung station banners out of both windows in our corner room, and show promoter Tony Paligrossi later remarked that our banners lent that year's Warped the vibe of a South American revolution.

Also floating around the FM 106.3 Party Room was station staff Tod Lewis, Brian Cotter, Kara, Carly, freaky Bob, plus Razor & Tie's Maryelizabeth Carter and Island's Dave Bouchard (he ordered all the food that the Long Beach Dub Allstars later scarfed up).
