Hoboken Italian Festival

Something happens when boys are in competition. It could be the hormones...or it also could be the audience of ladies. i don't know. but a Rock Climbing Contest ensued. Jon and DJ were in good spirits. Steve was out for blood.

As soon as Dan Johnny and me yelled "Go!", those kids flew up. and i mean FLEW.

My "deeayum" face.

Needless to say, the victor was Steve. His prize? He got his cigarettes. Congrats good boy congrats.

Then some guy just started talking to us. He offered some animals but Danielle preferred a crown. I was going to get a picture of the balloon being fitted to her head but I didn't whip it out on time. The guy did give me a free "Love Wand". :-)

Behold. The Magical Powers of VD. Dan's crown was for good. I used my "Love Wand" for evil.

UMPH! UMPH! UMPH! LOVE WAND.

Dan bought me some glasses to replace the ones I gave her. They're spiffy. And they make Steve look old.
Jon claimed them to be "Pi-ump" glasses. This is how you're supposed to pose while wearing them.

My brother being torn between good and evil. I asked for drama and I got this face.

The DJ guy on stage was playing "Boys" by Britney Spears. I decided to use Love Wand as a microphone and perform for the boys. Steve loved it. mm-hmm. This is my "Get Nasty" face. I'd flinch.

DIAPETEY! We didn't know where the hell he came from. I guess Colombians make awesome Italian Ices. He was working the booth with his parents and amazingly adorable little brother, Vincent.

The Cover Stage. It was like a greedy-man's kareoke. They played stuff from George Michael, Pearl Jam, The Cure, Bon Jovi, and a bunch more. My brother and I took quotes from Coming to America to describe the singer's voice.

"That Boy's Good!"

BAM! 12-string acoustic.

Then followed the Hoboken Police vs. Fire Department GRAPE STOMPING contest. It was hilarious.

The Police won thanks to some dude with a size 16 shoe. SICK

Steve took some of what I call..."Victory Juice." We kicked it to some old lady and walked away. Thats how scumbaggy Hudson County teens do, yo. DJ picked it out and threw it away. We're not all THAT bad.

Good Music, Good Weather, Good food, Great Friends. Thats what Polariods of Big Couches with Oversized Bottles of Liquor is all about.

This was definitely a highlight of the year.

Warped Tour 8-14

Warped Tour brings something into the air that just stirs up people's soul and bowls. Not everyone followed the "pee before the road" rule.

We started the morning looking at Pablo's Volkswagen tattoo. I stared, really. Who gets a VW on their arm? To each his own.

Pablo "hoopty" with Dave and Brian inside on Westside Ave. What you don't see is me sprawled across Jason and Zach. We didn't fit in the back so they had to carry me the whole way there. It was good and kinda warm. I felt funny but they said it was only their cell phones. We caught up on what happened in the year.

Yeah....a Cell Phone.

They Always Say its a Cell Phone.

As soon as we finally got into the fucking Warped Tour, WAM!!! We find the most marvelous thing to ever come about....All Hail the SHOWER TENTS!. Sweet Jesus was it good. Dan Love it (obviously.)

Spinkles weren't enough for me. I filled a whole Gatorade bottle with the river water. and DRANK it too. Now, let me explain the shirt. At first, I was wearing a Finch shirt. I took it off because it was just too damn hot. Then I had a wifebeater on. Wife-beater + Water + boys. So then i bought a pink Warped shirt...again..Pink shirt + Water+ boys. grr.

Dan licked my noce because i look like a purple person.

Karen had a bit of an accident. We both took a nap during Senses Fail. No offense to the bad but...c'mon....their crowd sucked ass.

mmm! Free shitty-tasting Energy drinks! Thanks to Jay for finding it. Althought it said that you had to have eater something before chuggin, i figured it would pack an extra punch on an empty stomach. I guessed wrong. that shit sucked.

hopefully, with zach pimpin the logo, maybe i'll have another MONSTERRRR.

Avenged Sevenfold...in the words of Leche, AAAaaaarrrgggghhhh.

My Chemical Romance, could have been better but good none the less.

Fall out boy......No.

The Best....Reggie and the (freakin) Full Effect.

Moral of the Day: When You say "I'll be home on Monday" they hear "I'll be home right after the concert with the money."

MIA was DOA so we Am-scrayed

After such an eventful show, Danwich, Jhonny and I decided it was best to skip another disappointment (MIA at Summerstage) and got hang out on 14th Street all day.


"When I feel a little quenched from a long walk from Port Authority to Columbus Circle, I grabbed free samples of Starbucks Green Tea Fraps! MMM! That hits the spot! :Thumbs Up:"

Nothing better thanJhonny got a spiffy 5 dolla' hat,ya'll! You can see the Forever21 bag on Dan's lap. We could live and die on that block. Forever21 + Whole Foods = life. I died in Forever21. All these tops and I only had ten bucks. So I bought a sweater on clearance that I won't be able to wear until October. Fuck you, its pretty.

Coheed and Cambria at Central Park

Saturday was the free Coheed and Cambria show at Central Park's Summerstage. My brother and I woke up damn early and got to North Bergen at 9. By the time everyone was ready, it was almost 11. But hey, thats where the adventure began.

I'm glad Wikit made it. She was talking to Van for most of the busride to NYC. You mostly heard "aw" and "shut up" but it was cute because they girl tends to giggle a lot when you stare at her midway an affectionate name-call.

FASTFOWARD ONE HOUR LATER:

=.

It didn't take too long to get in. I took the opportunity to take a nice group picture before the crowd starting forming. My brother was standing out like whoa when we realized he was wearing white.

Then this smokin' piece of Spainard Ani-DiFranco style songstress hit the stage. He entire set was in Spanish. Stupid Coheed kids tried to boo her off but she said "Fuck yourselves," so it was all good. I think Wikit and Chrissy were about to climax when she started stripping down. Chrissy caught her water bottle. Used water bottle. mm-hmm. Chrissy technically frenched BeBe. But besides that, I was really impressed. She had all these mega-fans with signs and literal...fans. I just hate how much shit she got. It was a LATIN FESTIVAL not FREE WARPED TOUR STAGE. Sometimes, I hate my generation.

Then, probably the only Boriqua that I like in the music industry, hit the stage. My brother got his white shirt autographed so it did serve a purpose. The crowd was kind of stupid. So kid puked. A shoeless crowdsurfer fell (and stepped) on it. Actually, the puke was all over this kid's crotch. It was sad. The condom balloons were all popped. Co&Ca only about 2 singles. They rest were of the "In Keeping Secrets..." album. It was fun. They opened with "Welcome Home" which was pretty great. They played "A Favor House Atlantic" so everyone knew that. Then...there was a 12 minute epic song at the end. It was good and all but seriously, save it for the headlining tour.

Afterwards, we hit up the Micky D's. I kinda sat there, trying to regain some sort of composure after experiencing how shitty a free-show crowd can be.

Imagine my face of astonishment when I found out MCDONALD'S DELIVERS?!?!

I don't know why we think this picture's so damn funny. Maybe its how Jhonny's so impressed by cardboard cutouts of asian couples.
