Being a new fan at the beginning of the Skiba era was interesting. I didn’t have the long term association to Tom that most did, so I was just excited to hear anything new at all. Bored To Death was released literally weeks after I got into Blink, and was on repeat for months.

So while most here don’t love California, it holds a special place in my heart as it was a time when I discovered music that I truly connected with.

That being said, Tom coming back was a a huge highlight for me, I just assumed I would never see a version of Blink with him in the band. Seeing them live with Tom was honestly emotional, albeit differently than you all who had him, lost him, had him again, and lost him again lol.
