Elisa Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Some drama on Reddit (not really drama but people are complaining) Quote
boxelder Posted April 10 Author Posted April 10 Initially I thought the idea of a partially scripted book tour was unique but that does sound pretty disappointing. I guess it makes sense not to have a Q&A — given some of the sensitive subject matter in the book — but it seems unnecessarily guarded in a weird way 1 Quote

WPGBlink Posted April 10 Posted April 10 The fact copies of the book handed out were not pre-signed is a little crazy, honestly. 4 Quote
Champ182 Posted April 10 Posted April 10 I've never been to a book event but I assume it's probably extremely normal to be structured like that and people who are Blink fans and not book fans probably just got weirded out based on their own expectations. 1 Quote

Yeah, I don’t have any problems with a scripted show and the no Q&A policy, but it sucks that those people paid 100 dollars and the book they give you at the event is not even pre-signed. 2 Quote
Sun God Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Scripted just like their shows lol. Mark plays it too safe for everything. Love the guy but come on 3 Quote

Pre-signed means he won't sign them personally? Or does it mean he'll sign it twice for those who stand in line? Quote

Or does it mean he'll sign it twice for those who stand in line? No,he isn’t meeting you in line and signing anything at all. You won’t even get a look of disgust as he thinks to himself “leave me the fuck alone, peasant.” 1 Quote
_Kyle_ Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Yeahhhhhh, I get the frustration cause I always found Mark pretty entertaining when he's just riffing. The topic at hand is you, so I don't get why this is a big deal. I get not wanting to be around people after the cancer thing, but not taking open Q&A seems so safe. 2 Quote
mahtmd Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I loved the book! It was fun and fast and Mark’s voice was really prominent. Some new stories mixed in with things I already knew but it still felt fresh. I enjoyed it more than the book by Travis. Perhaps because the book was really telling the blink-182 story (from Mark’s perspective with his anecdotes and personal adventures throughout). Oh, and I thought it was clever/cute how he alluded to or referenced lyrics as he told different stories (the apple juice, go, etc). Quote

Can't remember them all now, but there were definitely quite a few. "Beige little boxes in a row" when describing Tom's old neighborhood in San Diego 1 Quote
