Vans Warped Tour 2002 Gets Tromatized!! Cannes press conference announces the Troma Team’s involvement with the North America leg of the Warped Tour Cannes- May 17th- At a press conference in Cannes yesterday, representatives from the Vans Warped Tour, a traveling music, sports and independent art festival (Now in it’s eighth year) announced that this Summer, Troma Entertainment will be traveling across North America with the Warped Tour June 20th - August 20th, with 48 confirmed stops. At each stop on the Tour, fans will be able to enter “Tromaville”, a section devoted to the Troma Universe created by Troma co-founders Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz nearly thirty years ago. Tromaville, the home of the stars of Troma’s latest film, Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4; (In theaters worldwide now) The Toxic Avenger, Sgt Kabukiman NYPD, Dolphinman, The Mad Cowboy; will serve as a beacon of independent art and thought on the Warped Tour. In Tromaville, fans are encouraged to interact and participate with a number of events. Early reports indicate that Tromaville will consist of a stage, screening tent and a number of smaller booths and Tromatic attractions. Below is a portion of what the Troma Team has in-store for Warped ’02; - A Tromatic Stage Sideshow featuring; Live Performance Artists, a Talk Show and Game Show featuring Various Warped Tour Artists and the Troma Superheroes, Sketch Comedy, the Ultimate Tromette Competition and much more. - TromaDance Film Festival Screening Series- TromaDance is the first film festival wholeheartedly devoted to filmmakers and fans. There are no entry fees and no admission fees. TromaDance on the Warped Tour may be the first mobile and traveling film festival. - Make Your Own Damn Movie! - A how-to course on independent filmmaking. Troma Founder and President Lloyd Kaufman will appear on select Warped Tour dates. - Tromatic Special Effects Demonstrations and Workshops- Learn how to rip someone’s arm off or crush a head for less than $5! (Or less than 1/1000 of Leonardo DeCaprio’s Hair Budget) - Make a Movie at the Warped Tour- Anyone with a videocamera is invited to shoot something and have it watched that day. - Give Someone You Love A Massive Head Wound- Much like a traditional face painting booth, except instead of face painting, you can have your skull split open! (With special effects makeup, of course) When asked to comment on Troma’s involvement in Warped ’02, Lloyd Kaufman stated; “Troma and the Warped Tour share many of the same ideals. We are both active supporters of the independent arts, be it music, films or self-pleasurement. The soundtracks to Troma Films also share many of the bands that fans have grown to love on the Warped Tour, such as NOFX, Bouncing Souls, Less Than Jake, The Hippos, The Lunachicks and too many more to name.”
