Blink-182 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I have loved blink-182 since I was in 3rd grade and now I am in 9th grade. I went to the Warped Tour last Thursday (July 7th, 2005) and I was very excited. I thought that the best thing that was going to happen to me was that I would be able to see blink-182's drummer, Travis Barker with his other band called The Tranplants. When Travis went onto his drumset I was so happy I was getting to see him perform and I was in the front row and almost center (I waited at that stage for 2 hours to get a good spot to watch him). Earlier that day I told my two friends that I was with that I would find a way to meet Travis. They just said over and over,"Nick SHUT UP! You are not going to meet him okay? Get over it!". But they didn't wait in the spot with me for the two hours before The Tranplants played so we got seperated. After The Tranplants were done playing, I could see Travis talking to the V.I.P. people. It made me jealous that I didn't get to talk to him. I just watched him through the fence. Then when he was done talking to them he started to walk away. I saw which way he was going, so I went that way. Then I saw where two fences were seperated a little bit. So I squeezed through them to get to Travis. I just stared at him and I was very nervous. Then I just said,"Travis!". Then he turned around. I walked over to him. I told him I was a big fan. Then he told me that he is always happy to meet his fans. I had him sign my Famous Stars ans Straps shoes (his brand) and my MxPx shirt. I laughed and said ,"Hey sorry, but will you also sing my MxPx shirt even thought it's not your band?" and he said,"Yeah I love MxPx they put on a good show today, don't you think?" I agreed with him. And I asked him if blink-182 was going to get back together soon and he told me that he was down with it if Tom and Mark were. We just said a few more things. Then we shook hands and I said,"Bye Travis, it was good to meet you" and he said,"Okay, bye Nick (I told him my name) it was good to meet you to." and he walked away. Then I told my friends but they didn't believe me. So I showed them my shirt and shoes, then they believed me. I haven't stopped talking about it since!!...July 7th, 2005 was the best day of my life. I never got got to see a blink-182 concert, but the day I go to the Vants Warped Tour 2005 to see a band with Travis Barker I end up meeting him in a way that could of gotten me kicked out of the Warped Tour (sneaking through the V.I.P. section!). Well I will never forget meeting one of my biggest idols. This is my top 5 life list: Now Tom DeLonge' who broke up blink, his band AVA was coming to Reno and the radio station here knew how much I love him so they gave me backstage passes to the show! I was called live on the radio air when I was given the tickets then I got to interview the bands on live radio. 1. Meet Tom DeLonge (met and got to hangout with Dec. 9 2006) 2. Meet Travis Barker (already met him on July 7th, 2005) 3. Meet Mark Hoppus 4. Have a famous punk-rock band 5. Meet Paris Hilton One down and four more to go!!... -Nick blink-182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Congrats. He's an alright drummer, but I'm not much of a fan of Blink. It's nice to see you got to meet an idol like that though. Should have told him his wife wasn't that hot 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lageris89 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I saw Blink 182 twice and they were disappointing. Travis is an over rated drummer and extremely inconsistent live. But if it made you happy then good for you ahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 What a nice story :) It's great to see you were so polite despite being nervous, so you could have a civil conversation with him. If you started shouting "OMG Travix joo r teh 1337 plz" he probably would have scartered! I'm happy for you, well done! Good luck with the rest of the list! :D This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
