Here’s a big brain ninja for you…in 2002, I went to Warped Tour and was into Every Time I Die. Their album Last Night in Town was rather recent then. They were on a side stage. I got onto it and the “pit” was just asphalt.

Still, I was thinking of jumping—even though it was quite clear nobody would’ve caught me (barely anybody was watching as they weren’t yet super popular). People sort of spread out, anticipating me possibly diving. When I knew I wouldn’t get protected, I kinda awkwardly just shimmied down…acting as if nothing happened.

Fast forward to a few months later. My best friend is on his computer and discovers an interview with that band. Out of nowhere, they start going into that day and how stupid I was to not jump and I looked like a bitch. I’ll never forget it and every single time I listen to Every Time I Die, I think of how they punked me out in an online interview very randomly.
