Blink 182 fans will be excited to know that their beloved bassist, Mark Hoppus has been tweeting about the upcoming tour. MTV.com has posted an article about Hoppus constantly updating!

If you haven't heard the exciting news by now, yes, Blink 182 is back together. They are planning an album for the summer of 2009. The trio broke the news to everyone on February 8th, 2009 at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards when they presented the Best Rock Album to Coldplay.

Some of Mark's updates include spending the day at Skywalker Ranch, getting cool "Star Wars" gear while at the ranch, and bumper to bumper traffic in Los Angeles, California. Waking up at inhumane hours of the morning, he lets everyone know he'll be heading into the studio to work on some sweet tunes! One of his Tweets is, "doing producer stuff...listening to music, making notes, coming up with ideas. I love this so much. Music is so much fun."

Even thought that does not elaborate on anything Blink 182 related, he did say something somewhat related on Tuesday, "good Blink meeting, tour will be fun." There still aren't promised tour dates, but he promises it will be an amazing experience.

But all this discussion about the band still leaves some question on whether or not Hoppus will continue to produce and help out other bands. On March 10th, 2009 New Found Glory released their last album, "Not Without A Fight", which Mark helped produce. Just 20 hours ago or so, he tweets, "Looks like NFG's album is debuting in the TOP TEN!!!!! Those dudes are ruling it right now. Congrats to them!!"

Even with getting work done for his own band, he adds that he will still use his producing powers to make platinum records. He helped out Motion City Soundtrack in 2005 when he produced "Commit To This Memory". The article states that it could have been possible he got demos from MCS so they can work together again, "in and around the blink madness about to begin I hope I can work on this CD." 

Still everything is up in the air, and not set in stone just yet. I am over the moon excited for the in coming news surrounding them. I know 2009 will be an A plus year for the punk rockers, I cannot wait!
