Scottie Pippen and Warped Tour St. Petersburg

When I got to work, I saw a tall customer in my peripheral vision, did a double take as things registered in my brain and whispered into Jessica's ear "IS THAT SCOTTIE PIPPEN?" -- It was Scottie Pippen. He's a local family man and a totally chill dude.

Kiersten, Eric and I trekked over to St.Pete for Warped Tour. The singer from The Menzingers almost caught a butterfly with his hands mid-song.

Sharks were awesome! Can't wait to see them again this fall at the AP Tour.

 

Big D and the Kids Table! We also enjoyed Less Than Jake, Gym Class Heroes, Lucero and missed out on Against Me and Set Your Goals due to early scheduling issues -- a bummer, but that's how the warped dice rolls -____-

 


We checked into our hotel, took a shower and met up with our friend Brian and had dinner and explored downtown St.Pete.

 

Breakfast coffee options were Dunkin Donuts or Donut Connection. DONUT CONNECTION IS THE SHIT. It's a cute very very small mom and pop shop with good coffee and they have 1 person running the show making coffee, breakfast sandwiches, selling donuts AND there's a drive thru? Hustle and bustle

This donut was called "Dutch Apple Mmm Yum Yum" which it was. If you're in St.Petersburg, FL, go to Donut Connection! I'm about to yelp about it.

One of my friends at work went to the West Palm Beach warped date and it was his first one, so I was giving him tips on what he should do/general info on the day. He told me he was going to pre-game in the parking lot early in the morning and I told him that was the worst idea of all time because it's so hot all day and he'll die. and what he really needs to do is drink water. DRINK WATER STEVE. He's a Big D and the Kids Table fan, so I got this signed for him in St.Pete. When David was signing this I told him the set was great today and he stopped what he was writing, looked at me and said thank you so genuinely. Big D rules.
