The White Tie Affair

Note from Kevin: We at the Vans Warped Tour try every year to make our impact on the environment a little less destructive and a little more eco-friendly. It's been a process that I'm proud to say has done a little better each and every year. I'm also proud to say that we wouldn't have come close to accomplishing the many things we've done over the years if it weren't for people like Erin and Tara. They care SO much about this project that THEY searched out this Ideablob grant and have been doing everything in their power to win it. So I'm asking you to take a moment, vote and help get the word out. Email this to your friends. Post it on your MySpace & Facebook pages - do your part! I'm very excited to see what these girls and the rest of our Eco Team will do this summer, but would be stoked to see what they could do with an extra $10,000!!!!
Thank you,
Kevin Lyman

Also check out the video of sean p and mason musso ridding a scooter! There are only 12 shows left in the disco balls and blow up dolls tour, so if you live in the west we better see you there.

We just posted a bunch of new tour dates!!!! We're playing pretty much the entire us in Oct & Nov w/ Metro Station, Tyga, & Cash Cash. Our first show on the tour is in St. Louis on October 17th. And for those of you on the west coast, we're coming like we promised ;) The bad news is that we will not be playing the Just Get Higher tour w/ Just Surrender, The Higher, & our great friends in The Morning Of. Make sure to still go check out that tour because the bands are amazing and will not disappoint. Also, from what i've heard, The Morning Of's van was just robbed, so feel free to throw money, ipods, laptops, anything of value AT them. They will love you for it!!! Anyways, we can't wait to get back on tour and thank you for all the support.
Chris & TWTA

We want you want to cover "Candle (Sick and Tired)"! The winner gets a sweet video camera plus lots of cool stuff from us and our friends!

We made it home yayy!!! This summer we pretty much played the entire u.s. and even a Canada date. We were blown away with all the bands, places and fans we met on this tour. We love all of you and will be back soooooon!!! I'm pretty excited to have a little bit of time off, (my mom misses me) but we are sooo ready to get back on tour in October!!!! Make sure to catch us on our next tour w/ the Higher, Just Surrender & The Morning of

Here's what we've managed to learn from being out for 6 weeks w/ Kill Hannah, Innerpartysystem, and The Medic Droid.
Do's and Don'ts of The Hope For the Hopeless tour.

-Do:          Start a band and tour the country w/ your best friends and get a merch girl named Laci. It's best thing anyone can do!

-Don't:      Get drunk and lose your two-day old iPhone (not me)

-Do:          Mess with the outside of the medic droid's van as much as possible. Although, they did retaliate by tarring and feathering our van w/ honey and flour. 3 car washes later, it's finally gone.

-Don't:      Try too hard to flirt w/ Kat Von D b/c I'm pretty sure she wasn't into me. Plus I think she's dating a member of motley crue. (she came to the l.a. show)

-Do:         Start an acoustic rap group named Jeff for president (follow this link and listen to "jeff for president freestyle" in the player) http://www.jamnow.com/thewhitetieaffair

-Don't:      Give out your phone number to Hektor from The Medic Droid b/c he will give it to everyone he sees. (I still get random texts from people lol)

-Do:         Throw panties on stage at us (3 pairs!!! Thanks nyc) 

-Don't:      Steal my microphone from me during our set. It's really hard to sing without it (haha orlando)

-Do:         Watch The Dark Knight at least 3 times ( I did) It's was that awesome

-Don't:      Run up the stairs at full speed and not expect to get nailed in the head with a bass drum. Ughh I was a bloody mess and my head hurt for days!!!

-Do:          Speak with an "english accent" on stage because people will totally believe you're British haha

-Do:          Make signs for us (it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside)

Thanks again everyone who came out to see us this summer. Thanks for making it greatest summer of our lives. Chris & TWTA
