A reunited and resurgent blink-182 absolutely crushed it at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, showing off their musical chops, camaraderie, and (much-loved) immaturity. Alkaline Trio showcased their catalog nicely, while local boys Drug Church availed themselves nicely of an enormous night for them.

And it felt really nice to embrace an inner immature child and laugh at things like Tom asking the ASL translator how to sign the word “orgasm,” or Mark asking the crowd to raise their phone flashlights in the air and following it up with “Hey Siri. Text mom: ‘I want to see your ass.’ Send.”
