ben harper vs. vans warped tour

just noticed ben harper being ont he same day as warped tour. this could make for an interesting day. with a relatively shitty warped tour lineup, i should be out of there by 9 ish. no offspring and no used for moi.

bands i wouldn't mind seeing (read: worth 30min on a DAT tape):
mcr, strung out, dropkick murphys (barely), thrice, billy talent, alexisonfire (reluctantly), avenged sevenfold (reluctantly), atreyu (reluctantly), reggie and the full effect, strike anywhere, emery (maybe), hopesfall. the ones in italics, i wouldn't think twice about taping. hmm about 6 hours max. not bad that'll fit on 2 tapes.

not really a fan of 'harps, but if the 'ol #1 in the NW doesn't represent who'll step up?

might be a little tight though.

doors for bh is at 8, support 9, support will prolly play 30min or so, 15 min to setup, so ben will probably on at 9:45-10:00. i'm guess probably closer to 10 cuz curfew is at 1. he'll prlly play 2h30-3h. which means if i want to see both i'd have to leave t-bird by about 8:45. and i know i won't be seeing offspring, so that's an hour down. interesting...
