"Orientation"



Never keep your wallet inside your pocket at the venue because you’ll lose it no matter what. If you think you’re going to keep good care of it, you wrong. Trust me. Last year Kyle lost his and the year before Taylor, otherwise known as Tank, lost his. Those two are the best of friends. They have known each other since the first grade, so a long time. If you do bring your wallet, or anything else, inside give it to someone with a backpack. I will have one so will Bobby, the blonde one, and Donny, the tall one. 

 Over there are the bathrooms, to the left are women’s and to the right are men’s. Always make sure to wash your hands after doing the business. Everyone is here is most likely dripping in sweat and dirty in some way or another. Don’t be afraid if people talk to you in there because a lot of people will be on some sort of drug or super excited and just ready to chat your ear off. Another note, never accept anything from someone you do not know. The water fountains are also located over on the building. Make sure to drink lots of water or else you could get heat stroke. Trust me. Refill the water bottles after every show if there is time. Keep track of yours. If you don’t want to carry yours, give it to someone with a backpack. Lacie has a fanny pack, but I don’t think that will carry much. She is the sweet one and is married to Tyler, the tattooed one. Tyler and Tank are brothers who are cousins with Donny, Joey, the other tall one that looks like Donny, and Nikki. Those three are brothers and sister. Nikki is dating Mitchel whose brother is Nich and cousins with bobby. The rest of us are just family friends. Never cross anyone or it won’t be pretty.

The stages are sporadic on the venue and weaved around them are booths filled with band gear.  Be somewhat early to the shows and never stand right in the center of the crowd. That is where most of the mosh pits start. Unless you are willing to sacrifice your body, stay away from there. It will get pretty gnarly in the pit with arms and legs flailing all around. The best spot in the crowd is up front by the bar and right next to the stage. You may start towards the back but as the concert starts just elbow and push till you get to the bar. Then grab ahold and don’t let go or you will lose the spot. Trust me. In between the shows stick with the group and if you do venture off go with someone, not everyone has a cell phone with them and we don’t want to lose anyone. If you need anything ask questions. Just stay with us and the results will be a Warp Tour experience you’ll never forget.

  1. That was a clever way of changing the concept of you'll be let go from orientation to "trust me". It made your story very strong.

  2. Giving instructions on how to conduct yourself at a event and what to expect could come in handy for someone someday. Nice descriptions of what could possibly happen if you don't. Good choice.
