n i k u Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Just saw it posted up on reddit a few hours ago and wondering if this is new to surface ? Honestly in the 20 years I’ve been a fan I’ve literally never seen this letter. would prob be good bit of content to put on the twitter/Instagram. I bet mark would respond to this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 It’s actually been posted to reddit a couple times before this. Still an absolutely awesome thing to have and should definitely be shared on the twitter feed. @Ry-Bread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I posted it on our Twitter first, and someone jacked it and took credit on Reddit... (and went out of their way to find the one I didn’t watermark), it’s def a cool gem from Boxelder’s timeline. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how the times have changed. you signed up for mailing lists at shows. it was the only way to hear about a band and their shows besides local ads for venues. for blink during those days, i remember it was either anne hoppus or cameron at the merch table with the clipboard. i signed up more than once, because typically bands would send out a single mailing and then flush the list. i didn't have my first email address until spring 1997 when i went to college. dial-up, oh yea! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 glad to see you're enjoying the timeline, @Ry-Bread. thanks to @daveyjones for being the OG as usual there's a couple more newsletter links in the timeline, that were added to imgur several years ago by a fan. not sure if they were davey's, but it's a couple more worthwhile additions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
