On August 31st, 2011, Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance co-headlined a show at Rogers Arena with opening bands Rancid and Against Me! Technically, this show isn't part of the Honda Civic Tour, but it doesn't really matter because all the bands played anyway :)

I just thought I'd add, for the sake of a possible love connection, the link for an "I Saw You" from the Georgia Straight. I'm the romantic, meant-to-be type, so if this guy happens to visit this blog instead of the Georgia Straight website maybe it's worth a shot because someone wants to find him. So here goes.. Someone saw you!
Co-headlining my ass. MCR played for like 45 minutes and Blink played for nearly two hours...all the focus was on Blink. Not cool. But MCR performed Our Lady of Sorrows!!! Their set was great but as a whole the show was epic disappointing. It was pretty cool when Travis Barker played drums on a moving platform above the crowd though. Otherwise...tad boring in my opinion.
