Top Five Regrets of the Dying →
PRINT THIS OFF AND READ IT EVERY MORNING.
A palliative nurse has recorded the top five regrets of the dying.
There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps. A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is ‘I wish I hadn’t worked so hard’.

VWT+ EIY Press Correspondent Report: Hillsboro OR...
That was the first thing I noticed about the Vans Warped Tour when it rolled on by to Oregon on August 14th. As a Warped rookie, I was overwhelmed by everything this past Sunday—and fortunately, the heat wasn’t one of them.
The day started off with an endless line of confusion leading up to the closed gates. Even though I had arrived hours early, swarms of people were waiting in...

VWT+ EIY Press Correspondent Report: Phoenix, AZ...
Now that the post-Warped depression is wearing off, it’s time for real talk.
One of the best parts about going to Warped Tour in Phoenix is that the next day you actually realize you’ve accomplished something: you, through all adversity, kicked the heat’s ass. Even Kevin Lyman tweeted, “Nothing beats a Phoenix sunset… you know you have survived.”
The desert...

“Denver, you crazy mother*****s!” - Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember.
Jeremy’s exclamation was no understatement regarding the crowd of devoted fans that surrounded the stage. Despite overwhelming heat, thousands of music lovers came out to Warped Tour to see their favorite bands. Throughout the day I even met several devoted fans who drove from as far as Wyoming for the...

Sunburn, mosh pits, and men in morph suits. Throw in eighty-four bands playing all day on eight different stages, and you get one of the largest touring festivals and (in my opinion) the best day of the year. This is the beast known as The Vans Warped Tour.
Let me begin by saying that navigating through dozens of merch tents in ninety degree heat while ducking past the crossfire of bearded men...

Despite the sweltering wrath of the hot Florida sun, this Saturday’s Warped stop in West Palm Beach, Florida bought in flocks of fans and music lovers. All kinds of people made their way through the gates, ready for their Warped experience.
Upon making my way into the gates, I was greeted with the smooth sounds of EIY’s band of the day, Every You. They played an excellent set, and in...

“Kevin runs one of the biggest summer camps I know,” said by the sponsor coordinator of Warped Tour. I found that its one of the easiest ways to describe all that is Warped Tour. While 12,000 eager music lovers ran around the Central Florida Fairgrounds on the 29th of July, a group of passionate kids gathered to discuss their futures in the music industry. During the Orlando Earn It Yourself (EIY)...

Around 8:30 AM on July 26, I rolled up to Merriweather Post Pavilion with a backpack stuffed full two bottles of Gatorade, two cans of Red Bull, $100 for merch and my camera. I walked in to find Fueled By Ramen’s booth, where I would be helping Metal Mike put posters up all around the venue. (I was actually greeted by A Rocket To The Moon’s videographer, Travis Zachary, because Metal had other...

I hopped over the border for this year’s annual Warped Tour stop, a few close friends and I decided we would like to experience something new, and we sure did. My friends and I started driving on July 15th around 4:30 from Massachusetts, got into Montreal late that night and slept peacefully in a hotel room for the night. I woke up the next day and got all my essentials together.

VWT+ EIY Press Correspondent Report: Milwaukee WI...
When I drove up to the Milwaukee Warped tour on July 19th, I could tell just by looking at how pumped everyone was that it was going to be an exciting day. I had been to another Warped tour earlier in the week, but there was something about Milwaukee that had a special air about it. These kids were acting more excited than a child getting ready to open their gifts on Christmas morning, and I think...
