HMNIM - Vegas Fly-away to see blink-182

Do you enjoy thrift store shopping? When you’re digging through the racks in search of the ultimate find, do you often think to yourself: ”yeah, these used clothes are cool, but I wish I could pay significantly more than they’re worth, while shopping from the comfort of my own home, AND have the money go towards a good cause?” Well if so, have we got some great news for you! Last weekend, I cleaned out my closet, and rather than throwing these old clothes into a recycling bin or the trash, I thought we could sell them here on the site and donate the money. The recipient of your generosity will be The Trevor Project, a non-profit whose purpose is "to ensure that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth have a safe place to turn in times of crisis.” So, check out the selection, and if something catches your eye, know that the money you give will help affect positive change in the world. Thanks. - Mark

There are 17 shirts in total, some HMNIM and blink tees, some LA dodgers tees, and some totally random ones. Shirts will be picked at random, and only 1 shirt per customer ( Let others have a chance to own a Mark tee, it's only fair ). Shirts will sell for $50USD apiece and 100% of that will be going to THE TREVOR PROJECT 

This holiday is about Giving Thanks which sometimes gets lost in frenzy atmosphere of rockbottom Black Friday Sales, so even if you don't get one of these tees, maybe you can donate to this cause or any cause that means something to you. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

For those of you who were holding their breath for the results, and we seriously hope none of you were, because of obvious reasons. We have finally picked a winner for our pumpkin carving contest from October. 

You can all tell Sydney congratulations for her Mark-topus Pumpkin. Which you have to admit came out pretty awesome. 

At the above stage it's hard to picture how it was going to look when lit up. 

But as you can see, Sydney nailed it. 

For her efforts she has won one of Mark's most prized possessions from the 2016 blink182 tour. This cardboard cut out of Ralph Wiggum was on stage for everyone of those shows, quietly watching and judging Mark. And now it watches over you Sydney. Congratulations. 

When the blink-182 tour came to Los Angeles on Friday 09/30 and Saturday 10/01, we wanted to do something special. We called up Mark Trombino who runs the best donut shop in town DONUT FRIEND (some of you may recognize the name from blink-182's early Dude Ranch album as their producer). We asked Mark if he could come up with a signature donut for us, something cool for the LA Forum shows. A true limited edition as only 50 would be made each day. Mark, not missing a beat, said "let's do a Hi My Name Is BisMARK"

For those of you not well-versed in all things donut, a bismark or also known as a Berliner Pfannkuchen (Berliner for short) is a traditional German pastry similar to a donut with no central hole, made from sweet yeast dough fried in oil, with a marmalade or jam filling and usually icing, powdered sugar or conventional sugar on top. They are sometimes made with chocolate, champagne, custard, mocha filling, or with no filling at all. Our exclusive HI My Name Is Bismark would be made with Vanilla or Carmel glaze and a light vanilla custard filling. 

The first person to try one of our bisMARKs.

Now, if you purchased a bisMARK, and posted a picture of it to Instagram with the tags #donutfriend and #octopusdonut, you were automatically entered into a drawing for a Joe Ledbetter complete skateboard.

The big prize for those that entered, was a signed Joe Ledbetter skateboard, with all the stuff, provided by our friends over at Pig Wheels and Bro Style. 

And the winner is.....

Eddie email customerservice@himynameismark.com with your details on how we get you your prize. Congrats! and thanks to everyone that came out to Donut Friend!

We figured it's just past the halfway point in the blink-182 North American summer tour, and time for another update. This is one tour you do not want to miss. From the moment DJ Spider opens the doors to the final note of the blink set, this tour will more than exceed all your greatest expectations. And trust us, as we've seen pretty much every blink tour since they were riding in vans with boys.

We must thank @justwilliet (instagram) for the insane pictures you see below.
