My girlfriend and I went to see their reunion tour when they came through Pittsburgh this past Friday, the 14th. While we were standing in line, people from T-Mobile were passing out piece of paper where you filled out your name and phone number and they would randomly draw 10 or 15 people for a meet and greet before the show. Not thinking much of it, we both filled one out and turned them in. My girlfriend went to buy some merch and came to back me saying that we needed to get to the T-Mobile tent, NOW! I was in disbelief, completely. We got there, got wrist bands and waited a little bit. Then we were lead backstage, waited some more and then there they were. These were the guys who made me want to pick up a guitar, who got me into punk rock. They signed our tickets and we got pictures with them. Totally incredible. It was an incredible show, I have been listening to them for at least 10 years and never got a chance to see them. It was a child hood dream come true.

Here are the pictures..

Thats to cool! I will have to check the picture out later. It will not show up on my work computer. They have been my favorite band for quite some time, since I was really young. I will miss out on their tour now, but will be sure to check them out after they release the new album and tour to support that.
Congrats again!

Indeed.
Christ I am getting old. I had to go google them… :o
I guess one of the benefits of MacRumors is old farts like me get some idea of what is going on in popular culture.

There's always a few exceptions to the rule. I had no idea who the opening band was. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

How is Travis looking after that accident?

He looked incredible, actually. No visible burn marks or scars of any kind.

If you haven't heard yet, he did an incredible drum solo. Go to youtube and search for it. It will blow your mind.

Although I don't have any of their songs, I pretty much went through '02-'03 listening to them, Linkin Park, and Sum 41.
I used to love them...now, not so much.

The only reason I knew who they were was because I used to know this complete ditz who thought the sun rose and set on them. I had a listen and can't stand that style..

But, OP, congrats :)

But you have a Panic at the Disco song in your signature. They aren't the same genre but I would still think you know Blink if you knew Panic.

OP that is really sick back in college four years ago I sat next to Travis on a plane to New York I didn't recognize him at first but after talking for a while I finally realized who he was. He seemed really cool and didn't come off like a dick like some of the famous people I have seen.

No problem!

Yes.. Do you need to know me? Do I need to know who you are?

I meant that you are everywhere as in, you live next to Travis Barker, and I think I saw a post that you said you live next to Leno as well. If not Leno some other famous person.

I know people that REALLY HONESTLY know Travis(b'cuz the clothing company). If you know travis, you can EASILY prove it! Oh.... What car does he ALWAYS drive? What's hit drivers name?

I can verify the answers of these via txt to my connection to him...

Those are easy.. Trust me, you'd know these 2 SIMPLE questions if you are who you say you are.

Atleast say the development he lives in...

His house is like.. 10 mil... I don't think someone living(next to) in a $10 million house would go feel the need to brag on facebook.

Everyone knows he collects old cadi's. Watch that in a youtube video or something?

BUT:

WRONGO! BRAND NEW Cadillac Escalade Black on BIG silver rims with chrome accents. You didn't give a driver name... Don't strike out here. :rolleyes:

By the way, Leno lives like.. 6 miles from Travis. In order to "live next to them" you'd need to have the largest land spread in California.

Just admit your were lying...

.... I live next to Travis Barker.

.... I live next to leno.

That pretty much means you are titling yourself as their immediate neighbor. Interesting the story changed.

I'm done making you jump through hoops, possibly Googling at your wits end. I am CERTAIN you are just trying to make your self seem rich. We all like to feel wealthy which is part of the reason we buy these fancy computers. But be real dude, you don't live next to these people. Probably not even close.

Lastly, Travis lives in Calabassas(spelling?). I know that's TECHNICALLY LA, but you would probably put your wealthy subdivision name in your location considering you try to brag about it.

Three words..

No, what you said was:

Which suggests next door to as opposed to in the same neighbourhood or even the next neighbourhood.

...i live in travis barkers closet.

does it really matter? could it have been sarcastic? maybe it is the truth and someone doesnt care about t.barkers cars?

i dont see SchneiderMan giving two cents about if you believe where he lives or not...but you seem to be making a very large deal about it AppleLover9o...welcome to the internet...where no on cares.

to the O.P. congrats on the meet and greet. blink is an all time favorite of mine.

...i also share a bed with megan fox. this is the truth.

I was about to meet them at the Chicago meet and greet, but they cancelled it when I was only 20 feet from the door. I was super pissed off. So was everyone else. T-Mobile had to call in the police and they were about to spray the parking lot with pepper spray. Thankfully they didn't.
