Man it would suck to be married to someone whose entire life is part of a tv show/PR production. I wonder how much of Travis/Kourtney's decision-making gets tangled up in all of that.

If the Kardashian Company isn't ready to give some kind of pregnancy update because they want to roll it out in a certain way for their brand purposes, does Travis/Blink have to wait on them in order to announce their tour plan because Kardashian fans will read into whatever Blink does in the next few days as an update on Kourtney's pregnancy...??

I totally didn't even think about that, I wonder how many Kardashian stans come on our board looking for updates on shit with Kourtney or w.e.

This stall thing could have been cool, but it's been a giant fail so far. There could be a new blink song today and I'm registering at .5 hype scale? This is bad. What in the hell is going on?

Yeah unless they're waiting till 9am West Coast time to do this thing. Otherwise this is looking like a massive bust.

I think that's looking too far into it. She probably had some bleeding or something that is no ones business and everything ended up being okay. Probably not something that needs to be "announced" one way or the other at this point because you're not in the clear until birth or at least until a date where a premature delivery is safe.

Yea I would have expected 9am if it were happening that’s usually when these things are scheduled. There’s a window from now until 12pm pst where something could happen, otherwise things don’t usually get announced after 3 est unless there is some live event at night for it to get announced with like a sporting event commercial.

Once again we are reaching unprecedented levels of paranoia. Unfortunately the band has its faults: too often in the past they promised something without delivering (hopefully not this time).
This means that when unexpected events not attributable to the band happen (as in the case of Travis) many things are still questioned by the fans. Yet this time everything had been done right: we still had the best tour since 2004 and an album recorded all together.
I repeat, the unexpected can happen, but on the basis of past experiences it takes little to increase the distrust of the fans: in my opinion, the total silence around the album had a great impact on this, and the continuous delays - on the basis of rumors coming from the band (the january deadline, Aaron Rubin) - on the release of singles.
Surely I prefer the band to say nothing rather than hearing Mark say in the press "the new album will be released within 2010" while Tom contradicts him because he has to work with AvA, as happened during the first reunion.

But even total radio silence (after a new album goes on sale) isn't exactly ideal. Sometimes it seems as though Mark (in particular) is annoyed by fans' voracity for news, but that's also part of being a rock star.

However, it is absurd that the band that had worked exemplarily on its image in terms of communication and marketing (from loserkids, to clothing brands, to the Urethra Chronicles) since 2005 makes so many mistakes.
And this is still a reunion that has a completely different vibe than the first one.

At the end of the day, they have pre-sales/pre-saves on their webiste, announced new music several times, announced new album is done several times - so we will in fact get music at some point.  That is my main paranoia, I keep thinking they just aren't gonna release anything but it's gonna come eventually..and that will be fun.  But definitely deserve all the p'd off fans coming their way lol.

‘They don’t owe us anything’ proper boils my piss. They owe the fans everything. Without us they’d be stacking shelves in fucking target.

Now I don’t have any tickets because I couldn’t think of anything worse than paying hundreds to see my fave songs get butchered but they need to fucking communicate!
