So many phones, haha.

 

I hold my phone off to the side or above/below my head to take some videos. I just keep it on a wide. Allows me to not watch through a screen and still capture some memories.

 

I go to all blink shows like this:



Allows me to film/take photos without holding up my phone, while still being inconvenient for those around me.

 

Honestly, my forehead is a great spot, too. Haha

 

Someone asked Mark for an autograph and he thought the person was just a reseller so he pulled the “name songs” question haha

 

Haha that’s great. Adults that ask famous people for autographs just to sell them should get diarrhea for a month straight.

 

In 2016 when I met Mark the guy in front of me was clearly a reseller and had Mark sign 12 guitar pick guards. He signed every single one, couldn’t believe he didn’t tell him to fuck off

 

fuck face is my favourite song from one more time so hearing travis scream like that was incredible. also, tom always sings a lot better when he's harmonizing with mark.

 

What a golden opportunity to be able to yell BEN WAH BALLS in public as an adult without repercussions or public shame. Guy totally blew it.

 

Hell yeah

 

Was the guy actually a reseller? Cause if he wasn’t and just didn’t know the early stuff, that would really suck lol

 

Mark: "I love how blink is multigenerational and people of all ages who have heard one song, never seen us, or never been to a concert before can come and have a good time."

Also Mark: "Name 3 songs."

---

Just joking, I get where he's coming from with this. It's fair enough if people are flogging overpriced collectables, and a shit thing to do so I can see why he's asking. At one point in there he seems genuinely like "should I sign this?"

 

my fiancée loves them and she would absolutely fail that question haha

 

I would have just said, “play 21 Days live!”

and then he’d probably say, “that’s not even one of our songs. fuck you!”

 

My dream is to have an album, or fuck it, an EP of re-recorded old deep cuts with modern blink. Would never happen and might take away the original charm of those songs but it'd be cool as fuck.

1. 21 Days
2. Touchdown Boy
3. Untitled
4. Toast And Bananas
5. Degenerate
6. Peggy Sue (live version is amazing, would love a new studio version)

 

Each to their own, but I absolutely can't stand it when bands re-record old songs or make an entire album over again.

 

I would've clammed up if Mark asked me to name 3 Cheshire Cat songs but I think I would've been at least able to get out M+Ms and Wasting Time and naming those two probably would've allowed me to say Touchdown Boy or TV so I think I might have passed?

The fact that dude couldn't even come back with any rebuttal kind of proves he wasn't a real fan. If he only knew the later stuff he could've said that and named some songs from any of the later records.

 

If Mark asked me that, I think it would take every ounce of restraint I had not to start singing "StriiiIIIIiiiiIIIngs...Strings"

 

I would have immediately forgotten every song that's ever existed

 

It’s like that “name a woman” meme where everyone freezes up and can’t name a woman

 

Mark should’ve asked for songs off of Flyswatter.

 

Yeah and then combine that with the fact that english likely wasn't the dude's first language. I 100% would've clammed up, especially on Cheshire Cat.

Damn, even watching the video I tried naming them in my head and immediately drew a blank. And then my first answers were Touchdown Boy and TV for whatever reason. Couldn't even tell you what those two songs sound like.

Now, if he truly was a autograph hound, then good for Mark for seeing through that. I'd have done the same.

 

Everyone knows "Golden Showers in the Golden State"!!

 

Mark’s been famous for over 20 years I’m sure he can spot resellers by now.
