letter from Katie Lockley who helped with KAB on Warped!
August 16th, 2008 Marysville, Ca
We’re down to the second to last day of tour-and of course I’m asking myself where this summer has gone. You know how the last part of high school, right before you graduated seemed really fun? All the cliques dispersed and everyone became friends? Even though most of this readership might not be able to drive yet-trust me the end of high school gets really fun. Well that’s how the last few shows of Warped Tour are. You forget the 116 degree days in Phoenix and gnarly venues and the long lines in catering because all I can think about is the awesome people I’ve had the opportunity to meet this summer. And I remember that I won’t be able to wake up and step into a different city every morning and hang out with some of my best friends.
This summer has been amazing for me even though it seems like a big blur right now. The obvious highlights were when I turned 24 in Dallas, Texas and celebrated at midnight at the Double Wide and then ended my birthday watching Andrew W.K. in Austin, Texas. Getting a matching Golden Girls tattoo with Erica and Jeneatha in Mountain View, Ca-thanks Oliver. I’ve been able to discover some new bands that I absolutely adore-Pinkertones, 3Oh!3, Gil Mantera’s Party Dream were definitely my top three.
The most rewarding part of the summer has been working for Keep A Breast and assisting the lovely Erica Leite. Erica is one of those amazing people who can look radiant and be ready for anything-even though we’re all running on no sleep. If the world took a lesson from her, we’d all be more polite and smile more and honestly, be more passionate about everything around us. Think about it for a second. Keep a Breast is such an interesting organization that has chosen to target a demographic that is often overlooked with breast cancer. We are committed to the eradication of the disease through early detection. I have had the opportunity to speak with so many different people who have been affected by breast cancer in one form or another this summer. While it may seem heartbreaking and frustrating, I realize that the ladies of Keep A Breast, Shaney and Erica, are doing some amazing things with this organization. Keep on fighting the good fight and I couldn’t thank all of you enough for making it a great summer.

YAY!!! We got to see one of our dearest friends from the road today, miss Tiff! She is always a bundle of joy and always volunteers in the tent when she is near. She is a little ray of sunshine! The day was very busy, very fun!!! Another treat for the tour today is that Motion City Soundtrack joined us for the rest of the tour. I am so excited to have them around!
Here are some pics of one of the photo shoots with Erin Caruso & bands on the tour supporting Keep A Breast!

KAB on Warped in Chicago!
August 2nd Chicago, IL
Today was day two of having our wonderful videographers here! Unfortunately they were not able to film all day due to the rules at that particular venue. We still had a great day though. Busy as could be in the tent. We were near the Skull Candy Mix Tent again and were able to catch the Massive Monkey’s, an amazing break dancing crew that has been touring with us all summer. We were graced with a performance by Shanti in our tent again and she gave a little lesson to one of the girls in the tent as well…what a treat!

Warped tour LA
That is it. The warped tour is done for this Year. Erica can finally go back home and rest. Thank you so much Carson, and to everyone that went to the Keep A Breast Tent during those crazy 2 and a half months. Thank you guys for all your donations and for buying tee shirts, stickers, and bracelets to help us sprend the word about awareness. There were so many of you Yesterday in Carson, it was absoluty amazing. This last tour date included the extra KAB soldiers, Shaney jo, Lisa, girls from LA, Claire, Baptiste, Renaud, Simon and Sasha. We are really pleased to announce you that we raised over $45,000 for Breast Cancer awareness during the 2008 warped tour. This is Crazy. Thank you soo much! I'd like to give a special thank you to Erica and Shaney that got the 2 frenchies on stage for the Angels & Airwaves Show!

Even more support!

Warped Tour & KAB Cincinnati !!
July 30th Cincinnati, OH
Today we are right next door to a water park so many people on the tour are taking a nice long break to take a dip in the pool. Katie and I were good little girls and stayed put in the tent to hang with everyone that came out to the show. We were near the Take Action area with all of the non profit organizations, so that was a nice treat for us. We were able to be near our friends that work with the Warped Eco Initiative as well as Invisible Children.
PS…apparently this entire tour thinks that I am a hairstylist now. It’s funny because I have never properly learned how to cut hair nor style it, however I have given about 20 hair cuts to some of whom may be your favorite musicians.

Warped Tour & KAB Pittsburgh, PA!
July 29th, Pittsburgh, PA
Today is a good day for Katie! She is from Pittsburgh so had heaps of family and friends at the show today. We also still have our amazing volunteers Gail, Jenna and Ellen that have been following the tour for a while now. It was a busy day and fun! We were set up next to the Kevin Says stage which is wonderful for two reasons… First, we get to see Shanti play her entire set and second, the entire stage is solar powered! How rad is that?!?!? In my personal opinion, I feel we should have all of the tents solar powered. We also got a quick show from the guys in Say Anything and Reel Big Fish in the Rock Band tent, otherwise known as Reel Big Anything….check them out below!
