good listen. Everything seems so good right now.

Nice to hear Matt say how much being in blink and writing those records together in the same room influenced the new trio albums writing process.

A lot of people around here were so sure he had next to no part in the writing process in blink so it’s nice to finally put all that to rest with this current interview cycle he’s done.

Why don't they tour together? It'd be fucking awesome. Maybe they'll consider it once this current tour finishes.

If I had to guess, Alkaline Trio likely earns more money headlining at medium size venues compared to opening for Blink at big venues.

I think so. I was always told that their booking fee is quite high (and that's why they don't come to my neck of the woods too often.)

You think so? They played basically a club/amphitheater(?) venue in Grand Rapids, MI before ITTC was about to come out, and I've seen shows from Third Eye Blind and New Found Glory there. They must not be asking much more than them.

I was told that by two promoters, I think they ask about 50k per night, but I have no idea how much you get paid to open for blink on tour.

Saw something on FB that said Mrtsurt or whatever his name is, is no longer working with Blink now. Wonder if we'll actually get good merch again.

Depends who they hire I guess. I’m pretty sure the merch they had without him last was even worse.

You can't get much worse than him so things are looking up!

Wasn’t there a gap where he didn’t work for blink? During Cali era and everything was even worse?

Yeah, when he stopped working for them for a few years the general consensus was that the merch really got worse.

Didn’t think I was imagining it. Hopefully whoever comes next has some decent ideas.
