they will be escorted to the official tour bus, and provided with credentials
and a schedule for an exciting four-day, behind-the-scenes adventure. Winners
will experience first-hand what it takes to put together a successful tour,
working in areas such as production, tickets, catering, and the PlayStation 2
tent. On their last day as a Warped Tour Roadie, winners will be rewarded with
an all access pass to the festival.

consumers into a complete visual and audio fantasy world, where we continually
expand the role music plays in the videogames we create," said Sharon Shapiro,
