Warped Tour has been a summer festival staple for years. This one was only a few minutes from my house so I trekked down to the asphalt lot at Raceway Park. Long Island’s Patent Pending were playing one of the side stages. It took them no time to get the crowd going (a Batman outfit may have been worn) there was much crowd surfing. The best moment of the set was a girl from the front row handing Joe Pending her little brother on stage. Joe then encouraged the little boy to get his crowd surf on…and he did.
