Do you not remember that Tom got kicked out of blink because he would only tour? Tom was fine with touring, but not recording an album because touring made money to fund. Recording an album didn’t so he basically refused to record a new album for two years in 2013 and 2014 even though they were supposed to record a new album during that time. They continued to tour no problem. They tried to sign to a label so it would force them to record an album and Tom refused the contract and everything went balls to the wall from there. I’m sure Tom would happily still be in blink if it only required him to do short 1-2 month tours in the summer ever year.

Oh, you're right.  I remember he quit the first time largely because of touring.  Guess he realized the monetary value and was pretty obviously using it for that.  So I guess replace my post with "5 track EP + tour"

Maybe all the fat will drain from his head and he'll stop being a fucking fatheaded alien entrepreneur and be a normal alien obsessed weirdo again ... then rejoin blink and we can have a Oliver vs Tom video.

Here is the full 102 page document about the latest TTSA #investment opportunities... 

They raised 1.3 million on the last offering, the minimum investment required this time is $350...this thing is funny to read.

Edit: Just got an email about investing, and this is one of the things they list they "accomplished":

-New music and U.S. tour by Angels & Airwaves to help increase visibility for our cause

Edit 2: more from the document

Expected 2019 products:

-New music and U.S. tour by Angels & Airwaves. These events (release dates to be determined) are expected to bring high brand visibility and increased product sales.

Jesus:

"As a result of the foregoing factors, the company’s net loss from operations was $10,660,495 in 2018 compared to a net loss of $30,665,436 for the 2017 year. These amounts include non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded by the company during 2018 and 2017. Excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, the company’s net loss from operations was $1,495,078 in 2018 compared to $1,129,637 for the 2017 year"

Holy shit, how do you even spend that much money, they really are trying to build a spaceship.

Like what operating expenses could they fucking have that warrant 10M dollars? They don't have like any overhead, just that dinky office, what the fuck.

They didn’t spend that. It’s all stock they issued to owners based on the valuation of the company they gave themselves. The company isn’t actually worth that so in the event of a sale that stock will be worth a fraction.

It says in the same paragraph their actual operating loss is between 1 to 2 million. Which is way more normal. Normal as in not a sustainable business in the long run but they’re not going under tomorrow, but they will in a couple years at this rate. If they were 30 million in the red, they wouldn’t be a company nor would a lender even give them a loan of that size anyways with what the size of their company is.

You'd think by now that Tom would learn that using music purely as a promo tool is not effective. Dream Walker didn't do much for him or for Poet Anderson, and he was in less trouble then.

Probably spend two seconds mentioning the new AVA album and then plug the shit out of TTS and some shirts, maybe throw in a "I started the band" comment about blink.
