Also Mark says something that is not correct about that blink bunny : 

tom came up with the idea, and our roadie's brother did the drawing. Scott drew that blink bunny not their roadie.

You know I wondered about this too but wondered if Scott did the OG bunny and the roadie's brother did the revised one? I know his name is out there but I can't be bothered to look it up

Massive update for the timeline website! 

@boxelder

Found posters for 3 shows from the timeline website (that had none as of yet) including more information about a show talked about in Anne's book "Tales From Beneath Your Mom"!

Apparently according to Tales from Beneath Your Mom (written by Anne Hoppus), an all-out bar fight escalated at this show: "The bands took exception to the amount of force the bouncers were using with the kids. [...] It was the Old West — punches were flying, chairs were thrown, and bottles were breaking." This took place at the Head Room in Magnolia Plaza (8th November 1995)

Huge and massive credits to Myrtle Beach Back Then on Facebook and Instagram for sharing those insane discoveries!

11/7/1995: The band performs at Mad Monk in Wilmington, North Carolina.

11/8/1995: The band performs at the Head Room in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

11/9/1995: The band performs at the Abyss in Virginia Beach, Virginia

wow, that's great! i do remember that anecdote from anne's book. very interesting. 

it's always crazy to look back on blink's early days and how they were sort of secondary to bands like 7 seconds -- that by that point, had been around forever.

I remember playing with them back in '94-95 @ The Casbah. Yes, they were very young and oh so arrogant. They were playing the same punk/ska garbage that many other locals were playing, unfortunately that was supposed to be the next big sound and San Diego was birthing it. Despite that, Blink was way bigger outside of San Diego than in San Diego.
