all important information will go here such as the rules and other various important threads. make sure you read through them all before you even apply, and maybe even check back after you're accepted to get a refresher on the rules.

this is where you will find the application and the band list, as well as where you'll post your applications. remember, do not post applications that aren't finished, even if they have WIP in the name! they'll be deleted.

the database of applications is held here. as soon as you've been accepted, your application will be moved here -- remember to fill out claims when you see that you've been approved!

all claims are held here. remember, first come, first serve -- if you wish to reserve something, post here first. also, remember that you must post here after you've been accepted to avoid any confusion.

inactive, complete, or dead threads will be moved here. feel free to look through them when you're bored or reminiscing. if we've moved an active thread here by mistake, tell us and we'll move it back!

only staff members are allowed to see this board. don't worry, it's nothing too interesting, mostly random site info and messages back and forth. don't feel too left out. (;

everyone has a cell phone -- it seems especially crucial while on tour. getting in touch with band mates, crew members, and friends is quite important.

nearly everyone on tour has a laptop, and instant messaging is a great way to get ahold of people without having to give out personal information. aim, yahoo, msn, you name it -- all located here.

tour blogs are the easiest way to keep up with what your favorite bands are doing. usually these posts are filled with random thoughts, pictures, and overall funny things, so be sure to read them!

all journalist reviews will be posted here. most journalists are extremely opinionated and have a lot to say, so listen up and stay on their good sides.

we all like to plot. here, you can post a page to request them -- but make sure you actually thread things out! remember, roleplaying is more important than plotting.

the more famous bands of the tour get to play on this stage. usually they're the ones that draw the biggest crowds and require the most amount of space.

right next to main stage left, this stage is also home to the biggest bands on warped. also, seniority rules on these two stages -- if you've been on the tour for numerous years, you'll most likely get to play here.

this stage is usually home to the newer bands that draw a bigger crowd. usually bands that play on hurley stage one year will play a main stage the next.

the smartpunk stage is generally for the bands that are predicted to make it big real soon. usually bands who play here this year usually go on to play bigger stages the next.

this stage is mainly for the bands who are new to touring, and just learning the ropes. sometimes local bands get to play on this stage as well.

named after one of warped tour's biggest sponsors and the founder of warped tour, this stage is for the newest bands and local bands who show up to help out, and then get to play a 15 to 30 minute set.

all of the merchandise is sold here. when band members show up at the merch booths to talk to fans, it gives them a lot of good publicity, so do it often if you want to get more fans.

there are special tents where certain bands are scheduled to sign things for fans on certain dates. don't disappoint them by not showing up, because an angry fan is a bad fan.

this food tent is reserved for band members and crew, so that you can get a bite to eat without having to deal with fans. watch out, the food isn't that much better here.

if you're a band member, there's pretty much no way for you to get away with buying alcohol here if you're under 21. for crew and friends, however, it's much easier.

the buses are home to all band and crew members for the next few months. they aren't the greatest buses, but it's better than nothing.

all bars are, of course, twenty one and up. if you have a killer fake id, you might be able to get in. lots of crew like to come out and drink if they have an extra day at a location.

if you haven't had enough music for one day, feel free to come out to different clubs at night to have some fun.

the food tents aren't that great, so if you have a few extra bucks laying around, you might want to get something to eat in town.

the only time you can buy any food or clothes that doesn't have a band logo on it is when you're in town, so take advantage of the stores around while you can.

when you have a few extra days in one spot, you might as well stay in a real bed for once. some of them are expensive, but the price is worth it.

sometimes, you need to just get away from it all, and if you aren't tired of the sun, the beach is a great place to do just that.

if you need to go somewhere else in town, here's where you find it.

if you can't wait to roleplay something out, or if you really want to thread something that happened in the past, this is where you do it!
