Rockin’ Roots was amazing yesterday.  We had a ton of fun, but at the end of the day, we couldn’t wait to get home.  Now, a day later, I am ridiculously sore but I came out of the whole day on top.

The following is a list of the bands we watched, in order between 1:20pm and 9pm:

1. Karate High School
2. Watchout! Theres Ghosts
3. Closure in Moscow
4. I Hate Kate
5. Envy on the Coast
6. Dance Gavin Dance
7. A Skylit Drive
8. Saosin
9. Anberlin

The Higher was the only band I could not see because of time conflicts.  W!TG, Closure in Moscow and The Higher all played in the same 15 minute block.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Filly flirted with the guy at the Beer Garden so we got hooked up with Amber Bock all day.
• Filly jumped on stage for W!TG and did the robot…twice.
• Envy On The Coast absolutely killed it.  Unfortunately, we were moshing in a dust pit and all legs, teeth, and shirts had a thick layer of dirt on them by the end of their set.
• Karate H.S. being hilarious throughout their whole set.
• Seeing a giant mob of people on the stage for the Millionaires kept my eyes off of ASD for a lil bit.
• Found an iPod Touch on the ground.
• Hanging out with my baby all day.
• Anberlin taking the time to make sure the sound was perfect for their set…it was.

Anyways, as of right now, I may be a little too burned out to get stoked for Warped at the end of the month but give it a couple weeks.
