Ben's P.O.V:
I am touring with Blink-182. Someone pinch me - am I dreaming? I never would have imagined being able to perform in my home country with Tonight Alive, The Story So Far and Blink-182. What a line-up!
We were doing soundcheck for our first show of the tour when I had the chance to chat with Blink themselves. It was nerve-racking, seeing as they had been my all time favourite band since I was quite young.
"We've seen your cover of Dammit, it's quite cool" Tom complimented us, while I mentally freaked out. Who wouldn't?
"Thanks mate" Llyod grinned, shaking Tom's hand before the rest of us did the same.
"No worries, it's a pleasure touring with you and the other bands" Tom replied.
"This'll sound cheesy but it's honestly a dream come true for us to tour with you guys" I smiled, feeling incredibly grateful.
"Well thanks! I've got to head off backstage but you guys keep doing soundcheck if you'd like" Tom nodded, before heading off to find the rest of his band.
I was so happy and content with life and I had Jenna right by my side, making everything even better. I had a special surprise acoustic cover planned for the show and I couldn't wait to perform it.
After Neck Deep had soundcheck, Jenna and her band had soundcheck - it was the perfect time to organise some props for tonight's set. I was planning in performing one song after Blink's set, just to leave the surprise until the very end.

"I still can't believe it" I smiled to Jenna, who was walking with me to get a snack before we hang out with the guys in our bands.
"And you're the one who made this all happen, really" she replied, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
After choosing out a soft drink and hot dog - not the healthiest, but definitely the tastiest on offer - we headed to the green room that the guys were occupying.
"Hey everyone" Jenna and I greeted the guys in unison, laughing afterwards.
"We're doing dares and challenges" Fil began explaining as he pointed to Jake, who was sat in front of a camera. "We tweeted #darefiljake and there's so many good ones."
"So, here it goes" Jake shook his head with a laugh, eating three chillies at once with a shrug. "This is totally nothi-"
We all cried of laughter when the heat must have kicked in, as Jake was making the funniest faces ever. He proceeded to pour milk over his face and into his mouth - whether it helped or not, who knows?
"Okay, someone else do a dare now" Jake managed to say between chugs of milk.
While Jake was doing his dare, I had decided to call to Twitter to get some ideas. I tweeted: 'time for @jenalive11 and I to do some dares #darebenna' - within minutes, our followers had some ideas.
"Chubby bunny?" I asked Jenna, holding her hand as if I was asking her to dance. It made the video even funnier than it's going to be already.
"Why, of course" Jenna grinned, standing up and walking over to the couch.
"We will conquer the Chubby Bunny!" I chuckled, opening up the bag of marshmallows.
Our fans had given us marshmallows at the airport - how convenient?
We both said 'chubby bunny' each time we placed a marshmallow in our mouths and Jenna ended up winning after I laughed too hard that the marshmallows flew out of my mouth and onto my shorts. Smart move, Ben...
