Travels on the Van's Warped Tour 2004
The Monster Energy Trailer was completed shortly before we took off for the Van's Warped Tour. James, the driver, quickly became a favorite among the tour crew due to his unique cowboy nature and grand sense of humor including some practical jokes.
Our daily routine consisted of constructing the trailer's add-on tent and platform, setting up the cooler/fan and seating, loading in the shipment of product and ice , preparing the bar for Monster Energy samples and an evening VIP bar for the rock stars and tour crew. Then as the show was ending we tore down the tent and secured the items in the trailer. And James drove with the caravan of tour buses and trucks to the next stop on the tour.
A typical day lasted more than 12 hours.
Monster continues to be a major sponsor of the Warped Tour.
It is a movie they shoot during the Warped Tour with different band members, sponsors, warped tour crew and fans. I caught the film crew in the middle of filming the acting debut of The River City Rebels (below) in the Holocaust series.
The crew is preparing another scene of carnage in front of the Monster Trailer. Maybe you can see the bucket of fake blood in the corner.
Right : Punk Rock Holocaust villian with Krista and I in the Monster Trailer.
Thanks to the quick fingers of Kris, Matt and Joe on our bus, we added Spiderman to our bus passenger list. He was taken from a window of a Burger King in Omaha, Nebraska (I think).
You can barely see Charlie our driver (far right) who is not sure what to think about it, but it was a hit will all the crew who saw it...good job Kris and co-conspirators!!!
It was a break from the monotony and cheered everyone up. Even though space was tight on the bus we made room for our super hero busmate. He went on several windows in the bus before given a proper burial on the road.
Pictured with Spidey is Kris.
