BLINK 182!!!


I know its been a couple of days since the Blink show in Camden, but it has actually taken this long for my memory of the show to come back. Ironically enough, before the show I told my girlfriend that I have been a huge Blink fan for years and I didn't want to drink too much before the show because I actually wanted to remember it. That, however, was not the case. We got a limo from the Valley to Camden. On board with us was a cooler stocked with beer and Carolina Sweet Tea. The ride took a little longer than expected due to some rush hour traffic in Philly. That was okay because it extended our drinking time. We arrived at the Bank Center halfway through Taking Back Sunday. From what I can remember, they were good. Next on stage was Weezer. Even though I am a fan of Weezer, we used this time to get some of the $11 beers at the venue. What a deal that was! By the time Blink went on, I was so many sheets to the wind that Rod Stewart and Celine Dion could have been doing duets on stage all night, and I wouldn't have known the difference. Blink played for what seemed like 5 minutes. Then we got back in the limo and went back home. That was a blur too. Next time I will try to at least maintain some level of soberness when seeing one of my favorite bands perform. After all they have been split up for the past 4 years and they reunite, play a show in Camden and I have no recollection of what actually happened. I figure things could be worse: I could be my brother. He had to take one of his friends to the ER after the show because she fell and broke her arm. How bout that for concert memories!



until next time....
