Security told me I could not film inside the mall.
I thought it was a historical moment, so ignored them.
😂
The mall closed on Jan 24, 2026
This is my 1996 Vans Warped Tour itinerary book.
I think I designed the cover with illustrations by Ron Cameron who designed the Vans Warped Tour logo.
It’s called the Book of Lies, since the set times would change for the bands.
I’ve ordered the pages to reflect the cities or nearby ones the Vans Warped Tour 2026 will stop in: Washington DC, Long Beach, Montreal, Orlando.
I’m listed 3rd in the staff as Mike ‘Sta-Chin’ Lin … Web-Man.
I designed the website for 1996 and wrote daily road journals which included photos… I was basically the tour’s 1st pit reporter.
We got local kids to interview bands

📽️Filmed on an iPhone 16 Pro Max from the floor
Related to my post of my flyer & ticket featured in the exhibit and show.
Adrian Young told me the handwriting is Tony Kanal’s on the setlist.
I attended the No Doubt concert on May 13, 2026.
🍊The flyer & tickets I designed for a No Doubt show I booked for Feb 21, 1992 were featured in the Venetian exhibit and at the Sphere.
I booked the band at Pomona College in Claremont, California… I was in my 2nd year at school.
The concert was 5 days before their 1st national tour and about a month before their eponymous debut album was released.
This is at the Venetian Hotel as part of the No Doubt exhibit.
