the return of blink-182 to the stage!!! t-mobile threw a big party at the paramount lot here in los angeles to launch their new sidekick, and they asked us to play. the whole thing was a secret. travis and dj-am were already scheduled to perform, and as a surprise ending, blink-182 came out at the very end and played a few songs. during the night, weezer performed and played the hits, along with a few covers. TRVS/DJ-AM dominated (as they always do), and then we played. to be honest, it was one of the best nights of my life. thanks to everyone who was there. thanks to t-mobile. and most of all, thanks to travis and tom. you are my brothers, and it feels amazing to share the stage with you once again.

here are some photos from throughout the day and night.

Mark has three new blog posts up:

Welcome to Heartbreak

The new Kanye West album has been on constant rotation on my iPod since the week it was released. I really think it’s an amazing record. Here’s the new video for Welcome to Heartbreak. Crazy, artistic and effected, the video is directed by Nabil Elderkin, who did a photo shoot with a certain spiky-haired mediocre bass player a couple of years ago.
