Thank you and we look forward to working with you all!

Who I am:
I’m Erinn aka Knizzle aka Easy E aka whatever nickname you’d like to make up for me. I’m sure I have an endless number of names I answer to. I just turned 24 this month and man does that sound old, but I’m sure I act like I’m 16 (tops). I’m a big kid at heart but when it comes down to handling business I don’t play.

What I do for Feed Our Children NOW!:
Still not exactly sure what my title is but I bring ideas primarily. I also help problem solve and sift through other peoples ideas and figure out if they’re logistically possible. In a nut shell I help plan things and figure out how to carry them out successfully. My primary focus is Warped. Believe it or not as soon as tour is over we’re planning for the next year. I’ll be out on the road with Franny this summer so I collaborate with him to make sure everything we need is in place. Because I was “on the ground” all last summer it makes it a bit easier to understand our needs and work things out ahead of time.

How I got here:
I manage a Rock & Soul band called The Silver Comet (insert non clever shameless plug) thesilvercomet.com. Last January we got hooked up with FOCNOW through volunteer coordinator Hailey. We were both on warped so we worked hand and hand everyday during and after the tour. Now I’m officially part of the team.

I’m a fun loving, semi- psychotic, outgoing individual who is excessively passionate about people. I can’t wait to meet/ remeet all of you guys this summer. Let’s hang, get to know each other, and help some kids in your community.
For more info on me & what I spend everyday off of warped doing check out thesilvercomet.com or my twitter account @ErinnTSC

Erinn will be out on every stop of Vans Warped Tour this summer so make sure to come say hey!

Don’t forget, if you bring 3 canned goods, a $5 donation, or an old cell phone to donate you get a skip the line pass! 

Who I am:
I’m Johnnie! I live in Milwaukee, WI but I’m hopefully headed to Los Angeles soon. I’m studying Marketing at MATC and I work at a nursing home. When I’m not working you can catch me watching Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, or The O.C. If a show or movie has vampires, zombies, or witches in it I’ll probably watch it if I haven’t already seen it. My Keurig is the next best thing since sliced bread. One of my favorite things about Milwaukee is Summerfest, if you haven’t heard about it look it up, it’s fantastic.

My position at Feed Our Children NOW!:
I am the Promo Team Coordinator and help out with social media.

What that means:
I send out emails to the promo team asking them to help us spread the word about events and other things going on with Feed Our Children NOW! With social media I help post on any social networks and help out with anything else that I get asked to do.

How I got here:
I was interested in helping out more so I emailed asking if they needed anyone and after a couple of emails and phone calls later I was brought on to be a part of the team.

The Early November, Story of the Year, Real Friends, Man Overboard, Hawthorne Heights, and Motion City Soundtrack.

REBLOG!

Who I Am:
Hey-o! My name is Vicki, I’m 21 years old and reside in St. Petersburg, FL.

My position at Feed Our Children NOW!:
I am co-volunteer coordinator at Feed Our Children NOW!

What that means:
Hailey and I respond to volunteer emails, keep track of all the info, and stay in contact with volunteers all year round and day to day on Warped Tour.

How I got here:
I was intrigued by Feed Our Children NOW! after seeing them several times at Warped Tour and decided to email them on ways I could be a part of the team. I was thankfully welcomed into their family and given the responsibility I have now.

What do you do when you’re not doing Feed Our Children NOW! work?:
During the day I work at Daddy Kool Records, located in the downtown St. Pete area. At night I am a runner or do merch for local venues. Between those two jobs I have to find time to manage a local band (Lights at Night) and put on my own shows.

Bands I can’t wait to see on Warped Tour:
I’m really excited to see Bring Me the Horizon, 3OH!3, August Burns Red, The Sheds, & letlive.

Who I am: 
Hi there! I’m Kiana. I’m an advertising/graphic design student in Dallas, TX, but I’m originally from Cedar Park, TX (about 15-20 mins outside of downtown Austin) and today is my 22nd birthday!

My position at Feed Our Children NOW!:
I am the Charity Coordinator for Feed Our Children Now! I also do a few graphic design things.

How I got here:
I started out as a volunteer with Feed Our Children Now! in 2011. I volunteered during all of the Texas dates of Warped and had a tun of fun seeing and being part of the process that Feed Our Children Now! goes through to collect the food and get it to the charities. After that, I was really excited to work with Franny and Lana again in anyway that I could. After some phone chats and emails I was offered the chance to help Franny choose and contact the charities for Warped  2012. The use of my growing graphic design skills came when Lana and Franny gave me an awesome chance to design our twitter background along with some other groovy things. It has been amazing to be part of the team!!

Bands I can’t wait to see on Warped Tour:
This summer seems like it’s going to be a really good one! I’m most looking forward to seeing: I See Stars, Anarbor, Big Chocolate, We Came as Romans, Hands like Houses, Tonight Alive, Forever the Sickest Kids, Sleeping with Sirens, Memphis May Fire, The Summer Set, and one of my all time favorites: Versaemerge. I’m also pretty pumped to see who is announced next!

If you have any questions for Kiana, please put them in the Feed Our Children ask box or send them to twitter (@FeedOurChildren)! Stay awesome people!

Starting tonight, Wednesday March 6th, we will be having a social network take over every other week leading up to the 2013 Vans Warped Tour! 

Each take over will include an introduction feature of the week’s staff member, followed by them answering any questions you may have! 

We hope you’re as excited as we are!
