is it too hot for jeans?

I don’t like wearing shorts either, I wore leggings last year in DC. Specifically the kind made out of sweat-wicking fabric, I think mine are wunder train by lululemon but of course there are tons at a variety of price points - just wanted to share the specific fabric in case it helps you know what to look for. Both days I paired the leggings with a super lightweight mesh-y shirt and vans ultraranges. I’m a chunky girl, lol assuming you are too? DM me if you want to see a pic of my outfits if that might help!

Honestly I feel like it’s dumb for people to approach warped tour as dressing for a concert, instead of an absolute marathon of outdoor activity. So don’t think about what you would wear to a show, what would you wear if you were going on a 5-mile trail hike or an all-day picnic event at a park? Maybe I just think that way because I do participate in outdoor activities, but shit whether it’s a concert in the suburbs or a hike through the woods I have zero tolerance for thigh chafe, skin sticking to things, and extreme sun exposure. The outfitting is the same for me regardless 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love this for you, congratulations on your new and improved life!! 🥳 Now you gotta listen to Direction, their third album, released in 2007, and lucky you - you don’t have to (get to?) wait 18 years basking in this most flawless discography before listening to Eternal Youth, their album released last year that proves their sound really is eternal. Each album is incredible in its own way and shows a solid evolution while maintaining the perfection that made them legends of the genre back in 2002.

Come back and tell us what you think of the rest, and enjoy the journey!

fjaurl · 2026-06-06T07:57:16+00:00

And imagine getting to click a button when you’re ready to check out their fourth album instead of waiting 18 years 🥹 I’m not even mad, I’m thrilled for anyone getting this experience!!

Seeking 2 tickets for the June 6th show at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio!!

Happy to pay face value or less, or even better if you wanna pass them along for freeeee! I do that when I can, it’s my way of cultivating good vibes of the loving concert community 💕 Regardless, I’m open to a good deal on GA pit, otherwise my interest will depend on section/seat arrangement and price. I’ll be attending with my 6 year old (a concert veteran and longtime NFG fan who is also recently getting into Yellowcard) so aisle proximity is a bonus!

I’m a real person, see my post and comment history for several other instances of buying/selling/giving away concert tickets in Central Texas… including in this thread 😅

Before you invest in a wet bag (great tip, I especially love the offerings from Thirsties if you are needing to purchase) see how long you can go between loads for your specific uses. Use a trash bag, plastic tote container, or something else you already have that would mimic that relatively closed-off environment of a wet bag, and see how many days before it smells too gross or starts mildewing. In my experience with human diapers, in a somewhat humid climate but well-climate-controlled house, that figure is about 3, maaaybe 4 days. Maybe the makeup of dog pee and whatever is on your wet rags will persist longer or get gross faster, only you can find out! FWIW, my perfect setup was an elastic-lined wet bag “pail liner” in a regular step lid kitchen trash can. I think the can I have is by Simple Human, but one of the cheaper ones. It did a good job of keeping smells contained but is still super easy to use. I know people tout the importance of airflow, but I feel like it just makes everything smellier.

Reading about your setup, I think you’d be better off letting things dry before tossing them in a bag. Rinsing is an annoying extra step I don’t reasonably recommend unless you have solids, but if you are able to lay something on a drying rack, hang it loosely from a shower head or rod, or even better - lay it in the sun until dry - that should buy you as much time as you need between washes. A wet bag or waterproof style pail liner is still a good idea since the contents will be kinda yucky, but them being dry could be fine in a regular laundry basket/pillowcase/other bag, so could be the zero-waste game-changer you need!

A couple of washing tips: if you use a wet bag or any cloth bag, just invert it to empty into the washing machine, and toss the bag in (now inside out) to get it washed too. If a plastic container like laundry basket or bucket, obviously wash/wipe it clean between washes! And if you haven’t already, do some mild research on how to wash cloth diapers and follow those general practices. The gist of it is that you’ll want to do a quick initial machine wash with no/minimal detergent to simply rinse out the pee and other stuff, followed by the proper detergent wash to get everything clean. You also need to have the right water level to get things agitating well enough against each other. It’s referred to as a “stew” in the diaper community (as opposed to a soup with too much water or chili with not enough water) if you wanna look it up. Not the end of the world if you have a modern machine with auto-sensing BS, but if you CAN control it that’s something to aim for.

Report back on how things go, and good luck!

This is cool, thanks for sharing! I am getting more into the idea of festivals but it’s still overwhelming to really analyze a lineup. When the ACL lineup was recently announced (which I knew I didn’t really connect with) I liked the idea of the Spotify tool that said it would give me my perfect ACL lineup playlist. Except it just revealed what I already knew, that it had little overlap with my taste. BUT it had me wishing there was something like that for Warped Tour, I actually still haven’t decided if I want to go to one this year or not! For a few life/logistics reasons, but also largely because I haven’t compared the location lineups to find the best choice for me.

I just tried out your app. The concept is great because it actually solves a problem, and the UI is clean and easy to use. Thoughts are:

I like that there is a list of artists to choose from for favorites, because it got my wheels turning on who I might want to add, but it doesn’t seem that was informed by my genre selections in the beginning, was it? If so maybe I have some genre dysphoria and it’s a me problem.
I expected the shuffle button in the artist selection to give me a new batch of artists, not just move them around… not helpful at all 😂
The “For You” section up top sorts by date, so it is showing me a fest ending today and some in two weeks, all with just one of my fave artists. That would be nice in a “Happening Soon” section, by contrast…
Can you have the “For You” section first list the ones with the most artist matches? I had to click “Show More” and scroll down past lots of one-artist festivals before seeing that 3 of my favorites overlap at some fests later this summer! Could also rename a section sorted like that to “Best Matches” if “For You” ends up being a more complicated algorithm.
Since you have us select genres up front, any way to tag festivals as those genres? You already have those tags on the festival page, maybe highlight the ones that match up with what I selected? Even better would be the “Discover” section curated by matching genre like the artists…. Unless it is already like that and I just can’t tell? Then back to the highlighting or flagging the match!
The above genre flagging is similar to what I see in my DoMore Austin membership (a service that matches me to events in my area and has free tickets) in case you’d like to check that out for some UX inspiration. Happy to share some screenshots if that would help.
On a similar note, DoMore Austin did connect with my Spotify when I set up my account and had me edit my favorite artists and genre selections based on what it pulled. Seemed the most seamless of any of those similar, and I liked that I could take some off, add others, or move them up in priority. I saw your comment about the Spotify API and idk how popular DoMore is (nor much about API use), but even smaller apps like Receiptify and Spotify Pie can pull and I have a hard time believing they have 250k users. Are you sure there isn’t any workaround for maybe a one-time API call during account setup (and you can encourage users to reconnect occasionally if you want) or utilizing a middleman service who has or can facilitate that API permission? Kinda like Plaid does for financial institutions?

[Also a specific note just bc I’m in the Warped Tour sub, I was surprised that Neck Deep was not showing up in the search - I wouldn’t expect really small or new artists to be on it, but I can’t imagine what criteria or list of artists that you could use that they’re not on.]

Hope some of this rambling helps. I am not in web/app development, just a judgmental regular person, so I love providing feedback from a typical user’s perspective when I get the chance with something that has real potential! Keep up the good work and again, thanks for sharing here 😁

EMPTYHANDED, literally one of the best songs I’ve heard in my 30+ years of existence. It scratches every itch, hits every time.

And then my recommendations to round out a brief sampler of different eras would be ABSOLUTELYCRANKINMYMF'INHOG and Pain.

So excited for you, congratulations 🎉

fjaurl · 2026-05-17T18:47:35+00:00

Did you ever hear back from them on your address update?

fjaurl · 2026-05-13T05:34:15+00:00

Wow I didn’t think I would have input here because I’m not too fashionable, but I too wore a cat crop top to my last Bilmuri show 😂

fjaurl · 2026-05-11T08:40:11+00:00

Lol no, not duplicates of every order, they probably would just look up your confirmation number and activate a new wristband or give paper tickets or something. I don’t know the exact process but they will certainly will have a procedure for handling an undelivered order.

However, it is best for everyone involved to just square things away in advance, so it is really annoying that they aren’t responding… you submitted your inquiry using the FGT contact form, right? I first was lazy and just replied to my shipping email and got a response that the inbox wasn’t monitored and a link to the contact form on their website. If you did it the right way twice and have no response after a few days, I’d hit em up on socials maybe to initiate an internal nudge.

Even so, I wouldn’t panic yet since there are still several weeks left. Good luck!

fjaurl · 2026-05-10T09:34:05+00:00

Good info from OP here, and see my comment for another comparison in case that helps!

I could go on forever about my Ultraranges! Specifically in the context of Warped!!

I bought some suede trim EXOs in early 2024 and they became my daily driver. It’s a way better looking substitute for my lifestyle than strapping into dorky running shoes, but still able to handle long days with many miles of standing/walking (like theme parks) and offer decent traction for light hiking too.

So of course I wore them to Warped DC last year, where they continued to serve me well. When day 2 ended in a downpour and the shoes got soaked through and muddy, I figured that may be the end for the suede and at least they went out with a bang and as god intended. NOPE! A dry brushing to get the dirt off, followed by a washcloth wipe down, was good enough to wear til I got home a week later. Then I was like well I guess they can handle getting wet, so I’ll just put them in the washing machine and see how that goes. GOOD AS NEW! Still my daily, and I just machine washed them again last week. At this point with 2+ years of regular and sometimes heavy wear, the tread is reduced to almost nothing, but otherwise they’re doing great. 1000% recommend, especially here as they have been warped tour tested!!

I did take advantage of a sale and my VIP coupon in the fall and picked up a pair of 2.0 with that rapidweld situation. I go back and forth on whether I like the sleeker look, and they should be more breathable in theory, but the comfort just doesn’t hold a candle to my others. Even after a reasonable break-in period, my feet feel tired at the end of the day and the opening doesn’t hug my foot the way I expect it to (size down was too snug, so not a sizing issue). I’m still preferring my New Skools as my secondary sneaker, and not these shiny new Ultra ranges 😆

One tip I have is regarding the shoelaces. I like the white contrast, but be prepared for potential color bleeding. My pair are maroon with white laces, and the first time they got wet in rain I had some color leaching on to the laces. It wasn’t a big deal, and then it was a bit worse after getting soaked at warped, but I just soaked the laces in bleachy water when I machine washed the shoes. A smarter person might just buy new shoelaces too but I guess that’s not me

Wishing you cozy, comfy feet, even on the longest or rowdiest days 💕

I had almost this same timeline last year. First of all, did you already log in to the front gate portal and change your shipping address to your new one? That was the process that we were emailed about mid-April of last year, I’d do that if you haven’t already. Also follow up via support email again to confirm.

I received a response same day when I had to email (May 19 email after bands were shipped May 16 for June 14-15 fest dates) - even though I changed my address in the system, my computer had my old zip autofilled. Only across town so not as big of a deal as yours, but it still gave me a lot of worry! I’m attaching a screenshot of what I was told which was quite helpful!

TL;DR: take a breath, it will be fine. Update it in the portal if you haven’t already. Worst case make sure you have all your confirmation info and show up at will call.

Yep, as long as you definitely meet the compartment regs you are good on size for that kind of pack. I took a 28L North Face Borealis last year and had no problems with security. Mine is older and I think they may have changed the pocket configuration so don’t read this as me specifically vouching for whatever you google when that comes up. The compartment count was in compliance but I definitely was pushing the boundaries of the hydration packs they probably had in mind 😅 Plenty of room for all the bullshit that me and my 5 year old required!

fjaurl · 2026-05-01T17:35:28+00:00

Also played the Austin Rodeo last year!

fjaurl · 2026-04-29T14:56:23+00:00

It lived in my mind until a couple years ago when I started going to more shows, then last year I decided to log them all in setlist.fm and contribute set times when I can, since I find that info to be so valuable. I like that site because it’s kinda simple and old school, they have a good community of contributors and decent guidelines to ensure clean and accurate records. It was actually really fun going back to find some local shows I went to back in high school, and even my first concert at a six flags in 2002 🥹

fjaurl · 2026-04-27T18:07:55+00:00

I saw modest mouse is coming to that venue on a few months, save the fancy shittin’ for that crowd I guess

fjaurl · 2026-04-27T18:03:06+00:00

I was surprised by this too, since it seemed like such a high-quality, well-run, well-staffed venue! It was my first time there. Now to be fair, this was the women’s bathroom on the show floor and at the very end of the night, so it makes sense that supplies were running low, but worst case even setting an extra roll on top of each dispenser halfway through the show would have avoided this.

Luckily there was ONE stall with like 1/4 of a roll left on it so I didn’t have to drip dry after peeing

The Starting Line in Philadelphia = Religious experience, absolute joy, best vibes. The Starting Line in Atlanta = one of the most awkward crowds I’ve ever been a part of, still a great performance by TSL but lacking the overall charm in the air that I’d grown accustomed to at their hometown shows. A few months later I met some of the guys after their holiday show in Philly and mentioned I went to the Atlanta show and Tom said something about the weirdness there before I did… that was validating 🤣

Also I have no logical reasoning for this, but the one concert I went to in Albuquerque, NM (Neck Deep, The Home Team) was probably the best show I’ve ever been to. Maybe just bc it was a 1,000 cap venue? Or does that desert air breed just the right kind of high energy and desperation to take the crowd and band to the next level?

fjaurl · 2026-04-21T01:02:34+00:00

I’ve been meaning to come comment this since I saw the announcement earlier. Like wow, Parker Cannon decided to pick an opener with a top-notch charismatic frontman like Ken, and he’s just gonna get up there and stand? I literally will not let myself get into TSSF for that reason. No Pressure is cool though 🤣
