I hope it's something like this lol. If it's an inside joke about going back to the hotel and getting laid instead of schmoozing at a party 💯 If it's actually a medical situation or some other non-sexual reference.... Uh, I could have done without this passage

It has to be a sex reference right?! Like if she actually had an issue with her vagina he wouldn't put it in the book? Was so jarring to read. I read it like 10 times trying to figure it out. Am I supposed to be turned on? Shocked? Disgusted? What is happening hahah

Finished this last night. Really exceeded all of my expectations and rejuvenated my fan hood honestly. Was like watching UC2 and Riding in Vans with Boys back in the day, but a different format. (with that said they HAVE to do a documentary) That was so good it could actually be an acted movie some day, why not I'm hung up on something and need help though. What in the hell did Mark mean during the passage about Skye getting sick in the hotel. He said her "vagina exploded" and even repeated it 😂 Is this a joke about not understanding female situations? Period? Is this an actual medical situation because he references the doctor? Or is this a joke about going back to the hotel and getting laid?! I figured I was just too dumb to get it so was scared to bring it up here. But then I searched on Reddit and saw people asking the same thing lmao

C'mon dude don't be so gullible. The reasons he "needed a break" weren't reasons that would have been resolved in a year. They persisted all the way through the SECOND break up years later. He "needed a break" because his wife was a control freak and demanded he be home. Read between the lines. Look at how his behavior has changed since he got divorced. He broke blink up and then sat at home, popped pills, lost his mind, and ended devoting even more energy into projects no one wanted. That is not what you do when you need a real break. But he was at home so it was okay.

That's a hell of a lineup damn

"Laugh at the bands we hate All the spots we used to skate Well they're still there, but we've gone our own ways I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder Will I ever have friends like you again?" The older I get the more I treasure pre-Enema blink.

So I'm sure this has been posted here before and I didn't listen or care at the time, but I found the Lemmings recording from the Taylor Steele surfing video Mark references in the book. cool shit

Bump

So I've been avoiding this thread because of spoilers, but I read like the first 5 or 6 chapters of this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. So well-written and an inside glimpse of his childhood that was pretty much all news to me. I thought he was an LA suburbs guy. Had no idea he was a small town desert kid or that he grew up with that much turmoil. But in addition to being kind of heartbreaking, it was also really funny and heartwarming at the same time. I can't wait to get back into it tonight.

blink online convention in September of 2025 in Kansas City you say?

God bless you young man

Seats are fine as long as they are close enough to see faces. If I'm watching on a video screen then I'm too far away and probably should have stayed home

My problem is that I would rather just not go to a big event if I'm not gonna have good seats. It's just not worth it to me anymore if I can hardly see anything and everyone around me is boring. So now any concert or sporting event I attend has to be like the price of a vacation

Pretty insane. The ticket itself being $200 is close to fair value, but once you add $150 in the fake fees it gets ridiculous. I thought I got gouged last time by being forced to do the Floor VIP on Ticketmaster. This time it's even more expensive and no VIP lol

Two pit tickets secured 🔒 Checking account depleted ✅

Looks like they went out of their way to reschedule the shows they canceled when Tom faked sick. The St. Louis and KC venues don't match any of the others on this tour. Appreciate that for sure

Just booked my hotel!

Good point, it would actually be more edgy and contrarian for him to start taking a more mainstream view now

No lol I'm just talking shit. Would be hilarious though

Tom recording some stuff for the boys of Kut U Up. Great to see Can't believe him and Cote are cool after the wife swap

I enjoyed Travis' book. It made me view him differently because it brought more pop punk/punk scene credibility to him in my eyes. Before I saw him mostly as a hip hop wannabe type. The sex and partying parts played less of a role than I expected. I figured the entire book was going to be that.

My favorite Tom is drunk Tom that still tries

Holy shit, Jan used to be awesome What happened? Now he's mean, cynical and just yells at me all the time

Embarrassing
