    Niku, I am really sorry I fucked things up for you. Still sounds like you had a good time.

    That story is hilarious. I think most of those security guys are retarded so you just have to act like you are important and they buy it.

    Me and Bill were saying you just have to buy a black security shirt and you are good to go.

    haha the prob with that theory though is the security at MSG wore suits with green blazers and a security ID tag with their name and face on it.

    ok so, i got into the city at like 2 pm. ate lunch, met up with the woman that i was getting the tickets off of. she wouldnt let me buy just ONE ticket, i had to buy both, since she didnt want to just be left with one, and someone else offered to buy both, and because i said my friend from nj MIGHT be going (thanks oliver!!!). she was like "we are going too so youll be sittng right next to us". i responded with "no way lady im gonna find a way to sneak into the pit, jump the barrier if i have to". anyway, so i get the tickets, and i had to go to queens to drop off my bags cause i know i didnt want to take them to the show. layed down for like an hour cause i hadnt sleep in like 2 days. got up, and headed to MSG. when i got there, i was among all the fucking scalpers, trying to get rid of my extra ticket. i paid $50 for it, but all i wanted was $30 so i could get the limited edition T. these dudes were offering to buy my ticket off me for like $5, $10, and the most i got was $20 from this big black dude that thought it was GA. i stood out there for SO long, finally these girls had bought tickets off a black dude, and they turned out to be fake, so i was like YO i got one floor ticket ill sell it to you for $20. she made me walk up and walk in with her to prove it was real. by the time i got inside, FOB had started (who cares?) but the part that killed me is that ALL of the booths had sold out of the limited edition shirt already. i was like fuckkkkkk i cant believe it. so yeah, that went out the window.

    i walked to my seat, but didnt sit down cause i didnt feel like walking through people to get to it. i stood to the side in the walkway, and one of the security came up to me and goes "you need to go to your seat" i was like "im waiting for someone". i decided to go walk around the whole place to try and find a way to sneak backstage or get into the pit. it was no luck, cause they had that shit on lock. so i went back to my spot where i was standing. the security guard says to me "still waitinig on someone?" and i was like "yeah".  this is where i started to improv and build a story to work with. i said "im actually meeting up with a REP from doritos. i won a contest they had where they upgrade my seat to a GA pit ticket, and im waiting on the guy to come and bring me a wristband". the security guard ate it up, saying he heard about the doritos thing from blink. i was thinking (and hoping) that since i knew i really wasnt meeting up with anybody, id convince the guy to just let me go into the pit after we talked. he told me to go walk across the place to the other entrance to the pit and see if my guy was over there waiting for me, and if i didnt see him, to come back over and sit in my seat. i was like ok cool. as i walked over, i just kept walking, and walked straight passed the security guards checking people with wristbands to get in the pit. the key to b-lining your way into shit is you gotta do it with confidence and act like youre supposed to be there. they sense fear and nervousness so when i showed no signs of that and didnt give a fuck what they had to say, they just let me walk by. i walked straight into the pit and started pushing my way to the front, telling people i needed to find my friend with my medicine since i was epileptic (a great way to get through crowds). i got pretty damn close, met some new friends that invited me over to their house after to get shitfaced (which we did! it was awesome). by the end of the show, there was only a little girl inbetween me and the barricade. i was literally RIGHT in front of mark. when travis did his solo he was RIGHT above me.

    anyways, yeah travis poured water on tom, but did anybody notice after the confetti fell, as mark was walking off stage, he poured A WHOLE BOTTLE of water on toms crotch and body? it was funny, and i dont think many people noticed. also, did anybody see mark get hit with one of those famous inflatables? someone threw it at him, it hit him IN THE FACE, and like sat on his bass for a sec till he knocked it off. he looked SO ANGRY and im sure thats why he just walked off stage when the set was over and didnt hang out. i got one of marks picks and was headed out.

    on my way out, i kept going up to people that i saw takign pics during the show (LIKE REALLY GOOD PICS) and telling them to join the boards. hopefully this cute girl named colette joins. she was front row and had INCREDIBLE photos. as i was walking out, i was telling my new friends how awesome these boards were and how many cool people we have, and right as im hyping up the boards, someone taps on my shoulder and is like DUDE YOURE NIKU FROM THE BLINK BOARDS RIGHT? im like yeah haha. it turned out to be ricky. he told me i was sexy and went on his merrry way.

    i got up off the floor like to the exit and bennett called me. i told him to look up and there i was, standing at the top of the stairs. i screamed out BLINK-182 ONLINE and everybody was like wtf is this jesus looking mofo on? met up with bennett, that was pretty tight.

    so yeah, good times. glad i was close and got a guitar pick, but honestly, i think im too old for the pit. i almost got in a fight with this dude and his gf. he kept stiff arming me and i was like "dude, you need to stop doing that or i will do it back and it will hurt ALOT more" his bitchy gf turns me and goes "its a fucking mosh pit" so i fucking elbowed her in the boob while stiff arming her and go "yeah it may be a mosh pit but your douche of a boyfriend doesnt have to do that to me every fucking 4 seconds" she was like "whoooa heyy now" cause im sure it hurt, and i was like "oMg its a fucking mosh pit"

    great show, tom was on point. mark actually fucked up more than tom haha.

    in regards to the bracelets, all the people that have said its a bit big for your wrist and kinda has slack, you probably have the black one. i stumbled on the thought that it might be because the black ones are for "guys" and the pink ones are for "girls" so the pink ones have a bit of a tighter fit. cause i have a pink one on, and its pretty snug on my wrist.

    yeah he said "i do know one thing virginia. its that virginia beach kicks the shit outta florida"

    they do that at like every show though to get the morale up i guess.

    anyway, just posted the REVIEW travis tweeted, even though the reviewer is dumb and said they played anthem pt 2 in the encore. idiot.

    but in the video in that review, which i will also embed, it has blow job and first date. and oliver was right about tom not liking playing that song. he ends it with "forever and ever, lets make this last forever , forever and ever, this song goes on forever.

    and then they joke around a bit and it HONESTLY sounds like them in MT&T show days. listen and tell me if you agree.
