30 years ago today (July 4, 1996) the Vans Warped Tour kicked off it’s 1st date with Vans as a title sponsor.
It was the 2nd year of the tour
Apparently this guy shoplifts from the Whole Foods in Potrero Hill on an almost daily basis and the staff can not do anything but shame him publicly.

The 26th Annual Bicycle Film Festival San Francisco poster is so gorgeous.
The design, colors, typography are 💯!

Feed Our Children Now will be at doors at Warped DC from 8am to 1pm or so on Saturday… probably Sunday as well.
Donating 3 cans of food or $5 will get you a wristband allowing you to enter venue 30 minutes before doors.
This is the same privilege as those with VIP passes.
Pins are $5 dollars.
The food drive will probably go to a local charity.

Almost 30 years ago, I wrote the road journal for Day 1 of the inaugural Vans Warped Tour (Vans was not a sponsor the first year of the tour in 1995).
This was the infancy of the World Wide Web where you accessed the Internet via AOL and 24.4K baud modems.
Digital cameras were primitive and the Kodak DC50 Zoom camera I used cost me around $960 retail.

Yahoo! dominated web searches at the time.
Google was founded as a company on September 4, 1998.

SF Food Fight: 4Chan VS Wiener
Are you 4Chan 🐼OR 4Wiener 🌭 for Congress come November 3, 2026?
I saw Vienna Vienna open up for Daisy Grenade in May / June 2026 opening up for Daisy Grenade.
Awesome high energy live show!
A lot of bands performing at Vans Warped Tour 2026 are on tour including Daisy Grenade on their first headlining tour.
I’ve loved discovered up and coming artists at the Warped Tour on the smaller stages.
Daisy Grenade’s live show is like a kick in your head 🔥
