heidio182: Blink-182 Tour Party

To start the tour off right, Blink-182 had a party to celebrate and get to know each other better (with all the bands on tour with blink). The party was held at El Compadre Mexican Restaurant on Sunset in Hollywood, CA. Blink headed to their party after they played on the Jay Leno Show. Some of their fellow tour-mates from Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, Panic! at the Disco, and Chester French were there along with the boys and many other friends. OH! I forgot, a mariachi band was there too! Mariachi Voz de America covered songs from Blink, including "The Rock Show", "Dammit", "What's My Age Again?", "I Miss You" "All the Small Things", and "Josie" (All the Small Things and Josie are both played on the same video). Mark, Tom, and Travis seemed to really enjoy it, as well as I did too! (The videos on Youtube anyway).

“We’re actually here with all the bands and friends going out on tour — it’s always awkward when you first start touring, and it’s the first day and there’s a bunch of people walking around and you don’t know who you’re supposed to talk to or not, and some people are standoffish,” Blink bassist/singer Mark Hoppus told MTV News. “So we thought, ‘Why don’t we throw a big party before the tour, [so] everybody can come and hang out?’ You know, get some beans, eat some Mexican food, bond. The guys in Chester French gave me some flowers. We bonded. It’s going to be a good tour.”
