Heya amigos, and welcome to Warped Tour Blog #1/2.

I’m Augie Fash and I’ll be your safari camera man for the evening.

I’ve been demoing on the Vans Warped Tour for the past week. So far, the Brothers Grim sideshow has raised hell through California, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico. We’ve yet to be publically banned from a single state, but I’m still holding out hope. Our sideshow has a sword swallower, glass walker, fire breather, burlesque dancer, and… a saucy yoyo kid?

I showed up in Pomona expecting a stinky broken down Chevy Astro Van. Luckily, there was no need for Febreeze and AMPM air-fresheners.
Instead, the sleek leather furnishings of a rock star tourbus awaited. Think of it as 500 square feet of MTV cribs, but switch the Cristal with Diet Coke.

Here’s George the Giant, hoping to earn enough money to nab a 401k.
For a mere two dollars, you too can staple-gun George to aid his cause. =o)

That’s it for now, but I’ll make sure to keep all of you fine folks updated. =oD

The next round of renovations at YoYoNation HQ is definitely going to include these babies.

These 18.7-inch diameter Yo-Yo Floor Lamps include a 16-meter wrap-around cable that you can roll out as needed. And a mere $317 a pop … which is fine when there are G5 Elites to be auctioned off.
