Since the Last Time I Saw Blink-182 (2023 Edition)
I’ve seen Blink-182 with my brother Phil in 2001 (our first time, and first concert), and in 2009.
When they broke up / replaced Tom with Matt Skiba in 2015, we weren’t sure if we’d be seeing the original lineup ever again. So we were both elated when they got back together. We purchased tickets ASAP.
It’s been 14 years since the last time I saw them, and a lot has changed. I:
- Became a college professor
- Got a job at my alma mater, The University of Scranton
- Left that job for a WordPress agency
- Started dating, proposed to, and married my wife, Erin
- Started my podcast, How I Built It
- Became a father of 3 kids
- Left the agency job to start my own business
- Bought a house
- Pivoted completely from web development to podcast coaching
- Published 5 books
- Created dozens of online courses for colleges and online learning memberships
I was basically still a college student the last time I saw them, so I was wondering if seeing them live would hit differently.
It was like I was a kid again, and it was incredible.
