media: in case you didn't want to search the cast, I put pics of some original characters, one introduced in this chapter (barely oml). Dean and Gavin were fillers basically. Tell me what you thought they looked like, the differences n stuff.

    "Today on music news, it seems metalcore band Burn The King have shot up recently. They've been signed to Rise Records and will be playing warped, which is starting in only a few days. Clean vocalist Maddie Cameron has released statements about new music coming out sometime next year and a music video soon. Fearless records has recently announced they're in the works for the latest punk goes, Pierce The Veil has another tour with Beartooth this fall, and finally we come to Pop Punk band All Time Low. Lots of drama have been surrounding this band lately, such as public 'scenes' by the Lead singer and questions around lead guitarists non stop party life, many still don't know if he's still in his somewhat new relationship. There has also been noticeable drops in their stage performance. Many people wonder; is this the start of a downward spiral for the Baltimore boys? The band still plans to join warped tour for another year, and fans are happy to see them play. See you guys next week."

It's such great weather here. But it's gonna feel like hell flame on the tour, so I plan accordingly. I've met so many great people over the past few weeks, all of them reassure me I can make it through warped, but it'll be tough. Mostly the conditions, but i know I'll see Alex there.

I've finished packing, planning, and worrying. Now I've got nothing to do for three and a half hours. Huh.

@MaddieBTK: should I dye my hair again? wht color?

@punxirwin: @maddiebtk are you Michael Clifford now

@MaddieBTK: @punxirwin yes

@BrandonHoover: @maddiebtk I think you're adorable with the red. But... black Pls

I'm surprised he said that, and at how many people agree with him. Me and Brandon haven't talked since the tour.

I smile mischievously. Black doesn't seem too bad.

1st day of warped

~

"MADDIE! JESS! CHRIS! JORDAN!" Leo fucking screams.

"UP AND AT 'EM!" Ronnie follows up.

"FIRST DAY, TROOPS!" a third voice yells, banging pans together.

By now we've all rolled out of our bunks, faint groaning from the techs in the second row of bunks a little ways down the bus.

"First day! Up up up! Everyone report to the front lounge dressed and ready in fifteen!" Ronnie saluts and her, Leo & the new tour manager Gavin March to the front.

Great, they've turned into drill sergeants.

"Now! This is our first day on a tour thousands of kids come to." Ronnie stands before us. We're on the couch, rubbing our eyes.

"No wandering around too much before sets or signings! If you're late, that's points down." Gavin announces.

"No sleeping in too late. We're not a huge band, lucky to have a bus, so we play pretty early. Other than that... Nothing. It's warped tour! Let's have some fun!" Leo throws his fists up.
