Back in October I heard about a revived Warped Tour coming to Long Beach and the FOMO of it all compelled me to secure two general passes for Laura and me. Fast forward 8 months and we were looking at the approaching punk rock festival with no child care. Luckily we were able to compel Auntie Em to come out to Long Beach and babysit while Laura and I went on a 2-day nostalgia tour. We kept it basic and ultimately saw about 8 of our favorite 00s bands on the main stages. Despite the 85,000 member crowd, we really enjoyed our time and everyone we interacted with were super chill and friendly. Let’s hope there is another Warped Tour in 20 years!
