Warped Tour is officially over. It was similar to the end of summer camp. You say goodbye, but you know you'll cross paths with many of the friends you've made again. You promise to keep in touch, and exchange your respective lists of contact information.
Yesterday, I stepped back in to the real world. Jess and I went to Disneyland. We got park passports so that we can go whenever we want in the next year. I'm excited to go there around Halloween and Christmas.
Afterwards, we hit up all-you-can-eat sushi with Lisp, Shug, and a few others from the SA camp. Parker is hilarious. The food was delicious. We had a great time. I know I'll be seeing Lisp soon, but it was definitely sad to say goodbye to him for now.
Tonight we are heading out to Newport with Biggie, Brad, and some others. More extended tour goodbyes. Then on to karaoke with some of Jess' friends.
I'm nervous for the fall. I don't have a tour lined up. I feel like I've failed and didn't accomplish my summer goals. I'm not quite sure where to go from here, but I'm making as many moves as possible. I can only hope that keeping constant contact with business relations will lead to employment soon.
I'm taking deep breaths, and living life one day at a time. This week in California is important, as well as relaxing.
California dreamin'.
Over and out.

I'll be doing my best, and I'll see you soon.
In 2 weeks, tour will be over. No more punk-rock summer camp. No more bag showers. No more BBQ's. No more 7am wake-ups, scrambling for a tent spot. No more nipple-flicks from Lisp. No more watching fights on the ETID bus.
I will spend a week in California, and then fly home. I have no idea who I will be touring with in the fall. But I do know that I need to find something quick. Possible job leads are all on hold, as no one really knows what their fall plans are. Scary.
It's funny how at the beginning of tour, you just want it to end, and by the end of tour, you don't want to go home. We're all along for the same ride, and no one wants to get off.
I've seen many places and met many people. I've made some great friends. It will be sad to leave them. If we could ditch the bad aspects of the day and just keep the good, I would wish that this tour would never end. But alas, all good things must come to pass.
Where do we go from here? I do not yet know.
What have I learned? Many life lessons.
The world is still the same. There's just a lot less in it.
