Hey all, I forgot to mention something that happened a couple weeks back. We won a contest for an all expenses paid trip to play two shows on the warped tour in Washington (The Gorge) and Oregon. This is a big deal for us as 4 plane tickets out of alaska would cost near 2K.
The best part, our judges were Kevin Lyman (sp?) who is the owner of the warped tour and Page Hamilton who is the lead singer of Helmet. They gave us great props and it was awesome to hear positive comments from someone actually in the biz.
Anyway, here is a vid of the song they said won it for us. The audio is horrid (we didn't learn our camera mic has gain control until later) and distorted but the picture, crowd, lights and colors are pretty cool. We will probably overdub a studio track at a later time.
Last but not least, if anyone in Washington or Oregon plans on going to these shows during mid August we should correspond and plan on a way to meet. I never get to meet anyone from the sites I visit and it would be nice for once.

Jun 11, 2009 02:01 pm Hey Congratz Tripps. Thats a great honor! Cant see the vid cause im at work but ill check it out later. Definitely post some stuff from the show afterwards
Jun 11, 2009 02:10 pm Tripps that is awesome!! Even better is the fact that I can probably go and see your performance! The Gorge is not far from my place.
Jun 11, 2009 02:37 pm Sweet, we can have beers!!! My wife is not going so I get to hang with the boys for a few days.
Jun 11, 2009 05:07 pm What? No Philly? Alright Fine! Be that way!
Jun 11, 2009 05:49 pm Man, you guys are rocking out. Too bad you dont' have any actual trumpets and trombones for the track. Or angels or devil's for that matter. Congrats on winning the trip and the chance to play. That's awesome man.
Jun 11, 2009 06:25 pm Congrats here as well! Ain't it grand when a plan comes together. Oh yeah and I just love seeing some good finger style bass playing.
Jun 11, 2009 07:48 pm cool, you playing drums Cap?
Jun 11, 2009 09:00 pm Tripps I do believe is the guitar player on the left in the black T-shirt.
And hell ya Tripps that is more then great. Huge congrats from me and the boyz. To bad you aren't going to make MN that would be friggin great. We usually get comp tickets every year and I've never had a real reason to go the last few years.
Cool video though by the way.
I'd really dig hearing that tune undistorted when you get that far.
Jun 12, 2009 09:12 am Holy crap, Tripps! That is too friggin' cool! Congradualtions indeed! What a cool way to get a gig on the Warp tour. I'll deffinately check out your video later today.
Awesome guys!
Jun 12, 2009 12:19 pm Thanks guys.
The video as stated, is horrible sound quality but looks pretty good. We plan on overdubbing and editing things a bit, but I must first add my raid 0 setup so I can have seperate drives for 1) Windows Swap file 2) Video storage 3) Premiere scratch disks 4) Backup. Working with 1080p is a ***** once you start adding FX, fades, transitions.
