Of course we know that you come to Warped for the bands, but we all know we love cruising around the booths. There's merch for every band, labels, charities and various companies who are all ready to hook you up with the latest designs, products and, of course, free stuff. There are some that we always bring out with us and we're excited when we have new ones to join the tour. I decided to give you the first installment of booths you should get ready for this summer.

Vans has just launched a new, nationwide shoe customization contest, Vans Custom Culture- just for high-school art classes! Yes, we are wanting YOUR high school art class to design your own Vans. The contest is divided up between 4 regions of the country and grows from state level all the way up to national recognition. The 4 classes who make it to the finals, as chosen by a celebrity panel, get to send representatives on an expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles, CA to have their shoes displayed in an art showcase on May 15th. Those 4 classes will also receive a BBQ party in their honor at Vans headquarters as well as tour of the office. After final judging, the grand prize includes tickets to Warped Tour for the entire class and a massive $10,000 donation for the school's art department.

A pre-Warped interview with We The Kings where they answer your questions! Travis and Danny talk about their favorite Warped memories, their love for mild BBQ sauce, slap fights between Oprah and Dr. Phil and other shenanigans. Video in the post below.

February is here and the tour planning is still underway! Since you last heard from me, we've had 2 more band announcements, the release of our iPhone and iPod touch app, and we are still going strong to get prepped for the summer. It's going to be here before you know it- just wait! I'm still getting a few more questions, so I want to clarify some of those, give you and inside scoop on my goals for the tour and let you have the chance to ask your question in another web-chat.

The Skateboard Mag's April issue features Vans Skate Flow Team rider Daniel Lutheran as their favorite new kid on the block. Get to know this ripping twenty year old from New Mexico in this Q & A because you'll definitely be hearing about him.

Washington, DC-based Darkest Hour have some amazing things lined up for 2010. They will be going out on tour with Dillinger Escape Plan, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, and Animals as Leaders. The tour starts March 11th in New York, NY and wraps up on April 13th in Pomona, CA. The tour will be making a stop in Austin, TX at the SXSW music festival, where the Darkest Hour guys will be performing at the Full Metal Texas Event with Iron Age, Born of Osiris, Upon a Burning Body, Your Demise and many others on March 18th.

As we've mentioned before, Vans Surf Team rider Dylan Graves has entered a video into the Innersections video contest. For this contest, surfers work with filmmakers and editors to create their own 2-3 minute surf movie. Dylan is now in the top 3! He needs a "w" in this contest to get into the next Taylor Steele film. So, be sure to watch his video section and vote for Dylan!

A big congrats goes out to Vans Snow Team riders Iouri Podladtchikov and Eric Willet for taking home a gold medal at X Games in Europe! This is the first Winter X Games held outside the United States and featured nearly 150 men and women from across the globe competing for medals and prize money. Iouri held it down in Snowboard Superpipe blasting a double mctwist 1260, which he just started training for last week, to land at the top of the podium. Eric threw down a solid second run in Snowboard Slopestyle that put him in the lead for the gold medal with his mixed tricks of backside 720, frontside double cork 1080 and switch backside 900. Big ups guys!
