Tell me about it. It ruined Warped Tour too. I would have loved to go in the late 90's/early 2000's, but after UnderOATH became the poster child, it all went downhill. Granted, there have always been less than par artists playing, but it was always balanced by the sheer volume of neat-o punk groups. Now, not so much. A few good ones in between but nothing I wouldn't catch at a better festival.
