Blink 182 Concert

So NO ONE got to meet Travis Barker or Tom Delong... but about 10 people of the 8,000 people got to meet Mark Hoppus (the funny one). I WAS ONE OF THE 10 PEOPLE.
 
So I got there at 2 pm and waited there with this really cool couple. The husband (Chris is 24 and lost part of his leg when he was 18) had a fake leg that had this DANG COOL plaster FAMOUS STAR support thing. Famous Star is a clothing line Travis Barker started. Well one of his reps (RANDY) came out, saw it and got a video of it and since I was there I gave a shout out too. Travis gave Randy a bunch of free stuff to give to the 3 of us and said he might come out (but never did).

Meanwhile, JUSTIN who is the PR/Media guy who travels with CHESTER FRENCH (one of the opening acts who sound GREAT), after talking to him asked me run him to a store... IN EXCHANGE HE GAVE ME A FREE TICKET TO THE SHOW!!!
 
Also before the show TAKING BACK SUNDAY was outside playing frisbee with thousands of fans around but none of them came up and said hi. I WAS SO EMBARASSED FOR UTAH. You go to the show and the opening act, granted not huge BUT YOU DID SHELL OUT 55 bucks AND YOU GOT THERE EARLY ENOUGH TO SEE THE OPENING ACT, is chilling outside... go say hi and be nice! They were WAY NICE!
 
Recap of the show:
 
Chester French were heckeled by A-Holes.
 
Taking Back Sunday sounded great with good energy.
 
Tom Delong has a potty mouth.
 
Mark Hoppus is still funny and the main talent.
 
Travis Braker is still the soul of the band and can drum like no other! PLUS for the encore they hooked up him andthe drum set and he played in mid air above the audience!!!
 
I'll post my recap of this on youtube!
 
Thanks all!
