I do appreciate the memories from that era, but looking back it was very easy to see how fake and forced it felt. •Honda Civic Tour was my first time ever seeing blink •The absolute HYPE for a new blink album and getting to Best Buy at opening •Flying to LA on a day trip to see Untitled in full and getting on a red-eye back to DC to make class in time •DED release was fun to experience All built up and then led to the downfall and eventual second Tom departure, but it’s all a timeline in this universe that led us to 2022 and eventually One More Time. I’m fine with that.
The highlight for me was winning the contest on AP.net for best story about how you got into blink 182 and then not responding to @Jason Tate with my address in the message so then I didn’t get my prize pack because I’m a doofus
Legit just listened to Dream Walker yesterday even before this discussion and there’s some good ones on there. Was actually my wife’s choice while driving home.
i remember when neighborhoods first came out, one dude on ap.net wrote a marginally critical user review of it and everyone lost their shit over that. how times have changed, i guess
NINE freaking rules. Listening to it today at home since the kiddos are sick. Pre-Covid vibes are strong with this one. So many bangers. I even busted out the vinyl. It’s gorgeous.
Remember when they did that Las Vegas residency around 2018? I wonder if they'd do something at the Sphere similar to what No Doubt is doing right now. I've never been and don't think there are many bands that would draw me there, but I'd definitely have to catch at least 2 shows if they did that. Also went through some of my blink stuff yesterday looking at setlists, picks, confetti from the shows I went to and we were so truly blessed with the touring we received from these dudes this far into their career.
Very happy to have a new pin set on the way. I've been missing the green one for decades and my red and yellow have gotten very rusty. Also ordered the van pin. that van design rules.
Nice dude! Yeah that keychain is rad. I got the "you're to blame" and album logo pin sets, and the Give Me One Good Reason flag since that's my all time fave Blink song. ♥️
