The 14th Vans Warped Tour has been over for just about a week, and its time to send you, the fans, my wrap-up for the summer. I think I may have been procrastinating because when I write this it means the summer is really over.  
 
This year's tour has been one of the most difficult that we've ever had, and one of the most rewarding at the same time. In June when the tour started no one's minds were on how good a show we could put on but rather on how much it was going to cost for gas to get us to the next one. We started in Southern California - usually a very strong area for us, but sales were down almost 25% from 2007.
 

A big thanks goes out to everyone who has supported the Vans Warped Tour in its 14th year! Just because the tour is over for the summer, don't trip, because the fun's gonna keep going on all year long! The Vans Warped Tour website will be loaded with band updates, sweepstakes, videos, photos, tour info, and much more! So don't be a stranger- keep checking back for details on your favorite bands, how you can win free stuff, and other surprises you definitely won't want to miss!
