Huge props to Matt, both of us put it together/found info, but he is the one who formatted organized it all. Worked 13hours both Thursday and Friday unfortunately.

Was thinking about doing the warped thing, i've covered it the past two years and it would look great on a resume.

I was thinking about that warped thing too. But:
1. Do you only get to interview the bands mentioned?
2. Do you have to have experience with that kinda thing?
