    I feel disappointed now, i guess its another perk of living in america..

  • http://www.davids-not-so-boring-life.blogspot.com Jaco

    that was like so obvoius that they would give out the first ones at the fast life.travis tweeted about it and its his store…..

  • Mal

    or California. i live in ohio. but i knew itd probably be somewhere there…cus thats where all the cool stuff is.

  • Conor

    So unfair=( is this the only info being released today? I live on the east coast theres no chance on me driving all the way to cali.

  • Sean

    Call 909-390-5670 and ask for Marcial.

    If that works, you owe me.

  • eliagreenluv

    eeek, i have to wait for my friend to get out school, so we can start heading over there, hopefully its not too late!

  • Conor

    tried calling that number, “Hello this is Killer Distribution*(i think thats what she said)” *marcial there?” “I’m sorry but there’s no one by that name here”

  • Sean

    Lol, nvm.

  • Funk

    lmao i did same thing conor did

  • Lewis

    Hopefully there’ll be one in the UK

  • madne$$

    well damn. this is tough considering the fast life doesn’t have a phone number, and if they do. it’s damn well hard to get. well i’ll wait n see if i, a wisonsinite will have a chance at finding a way to get my hands on one of these mysterious usb drives

  • jordan

    maybe there will be like a website password hack thing, cuz i live in canada and there i dont think that they are gonna send them this way, but if someone gets one they better fucking tell us what they get in them!

  • http://www.myspace.com/playingfavouritesband dom182281mod

    aren’t there like 50 of these? if they keep this up it will go on for days!
    why can’t we just know what it is now!

  • mike

    man this is stupid, i thought they were actually going to announce what was on them and actually release them to the world.

  • the game

    haters better fall back
    i got her back like a bra strap
    holla at me its the GAME from LAX
    i got a marktoppus

  • madne$$

    there is hope! today is only day 1

  • Blink-O

    soooo???

    @whoever got the first two drives…. what the fuck is on them?!

  • Blink182+44BoxcarAngels

    tis nonesense.. unless this is da new blink album and/or backstage passes to blink tours then i cant see one valid reason y all of this octopus/fob flashdrive chasing bein worth this much hassle

  • Austin

    they look fuckin cool thats what the hassle is about

  • Jesh.u.a

    it’s not blink stuff. It just collabs between fob and mark hoppus.
    I’m with Austin on this though

  • Weiner

    No blink stuff? Gay. Nobody cares about fail out boy.

  • Orian

    So, it’s a scavenger hunt? Big fucking deal, I was hoping we’d learn a little more about the Octopus branding.

  • RiVans182

    Well at least everyone lives in the United States but for us that lives in mexico or central america??

  • Blink182+44BoxcarAngels

    yeah exactly, its a big waste of time all this talk for a scavenger hunt.. im hopin mark has something more and better in store bout the octopus and this isnt the big deal of it.

    yea it darn sure looks kool but so wat if it looks kool, its not like the first time uve seen it, theyve shown the pics on the site b4, thats a pathetic reason 4 so much hype and hassle.

  • madne$$

    yeah i kindaaaaaaa agree, but at the same time this is fuckin cool what he’s doing, must say. why do you guys get pissed at this? they’re giving them out for free.. and better yet scavenger hunts are some good times, half the time it doesn’t even matter what you’re looking for, it’s just fun.. you know?

  • Waggy

    You guys need to chill.. They’re just having fun and giving out free shit- CHILL

  • cuckoo77

    no kiddin’, no harm done by Hoppus or Wentz….they were doing something different and fun for their fans. So you guys didn’t get what you wanted…boo-hoo…cry me river you spoiled brats. Most artists these days don’t do half the stuff these guys do for their fans so you should be happy with that.

  • Austin

    yeah we dont even know whats on them
    for all we know it could be some really sweet stuff and info

  • Blink182+44BoxcarAngels

    @ Waggy

    well unless its new blink music then i really dont care, last time i checked tom was doing a free ava album for xmas, n ur words were f**k AVA they can suck ur small weiner well maybe u should encourage fob to suck on it too, free shit or not its not blink and is a big waste of time.

    What mark is doing is kool, but definately not worth all the hype frm where i see, so unless its blink then its = lame

  • Orian

    Is it just me or does it really seem like Pete Wentz is Mark’s sidekick these days?

  • diarrhea

    I didnt get pissed. But this is lame.

  • Blink-O
