News you may have missed! (5/8/20)
Sad Summer not happening this year, MCR reschedules summer tour dates, we made in oops and much more!
What’s up everyone?! This week is brought to you by tattoos and mistakes —both completely unrelated. For tattoos, we asked our readers and followers to submit their band related tattoos. We took those pics and put them into a post titled “These band inspired tattoos will make you want to step up your game”. Be sure to check them out and see if you made our list.
As for mistakes, we made a pretty funny mistake yesterday (Thursday) when Hot Mulligan announced a “hiatus”. We didn’t know it was a joke and reported it here. Hot Mulligan outed us, but we owned our mistake and had some fun. So be sure to check out that/those thread(s) on Twitter.
Let’s get to the news.

All Punked Up specific news…
Still working on that upcoming The All Punked Up Podcast. The team and I cannot wait to launch this thing. A couple of us (including me) is waiting on some gear to come in first. We want to make sure we are producing a quality sounding show, so we’ll wait a little longer if we need to. As mentioned last week, however, we still plan on recording our first episode in the next couple of weeks. So be looking for the first episode sometime this month. I will let you know the launch date as soon as I know it.
Additionally, we’ll be adding a couple of YouTube series. Some aren’t finalized just yet, but we are definitely planning on growing that channel. So please make sure you subscribe to that channel if you aren’t already!
Finally, I’m hoping to start doing the Random Thoughts… segment of this newsletter again. I have just been really busy with getting a new design for the site (which is done), concentrating on the store and building out our new podcast and YouTube channels. I really enjoy doing these segments so I know they’ll be back. Thinking out loud, these could be beneficial in talking about on the podcast.
