Show: Warped Tour 2005 Date: 07-03-05 Venue: Seaside Park in Ventura, CA Reviewer: John Frank Warped Tour is one of those things that is a staple in the music industry.

Headliners: Yellowcard, Something Corporate Opening Act: Steriogram Date: 03-19-04 Venue: House of Blues in Las Vegas, NV Reviewer: Bryanna Tago I looked forward to this show for weeks on end.
