Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) May 19, 2009 -- What do Blink-182's Mark Hoppus, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and an octopus have in common? One wouldn't think that much, but if you're a part of the Twitter/Pickrset universe, you might know!
In a recent stunt, Hoppus has remixed a version of the Wentz's song "America's Suitehearts," and loaded onto a flash-drive emblazoned with an image of an octopus! Hoppus has confirmed that "only 50 will be made" of the octopus flash-drives, "then [he will distribute one at a time" around the world…
Fans have been going crazy over the stunt, closely monitoring Hoppus as he releases clues as to their whereabouts. Locations have included UK, Singapore, Brazil, Japan and Canada - In fact, one of the drives was found buried under life guard stand 15 at Santa Monica Pier, Los Angeles, USA.
The latest location of another Hoppus-Wentz Octopus flash-drive has just been announced in Australia - Planet 13™ Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, Victoria!
"We're thrilled to be a part of such an exclusive and exciting adventure like the search for the Blink 182 octopus drive," said Shawn of Planet 13™ "we knew our Planet 13™ customers would absolutely love this!"
Only a week before the octopus flash-drive location was revealed, the top secret plans to place it went under works.
"Planet 13™ was a natural place for the flash-drive to be planted," commented Shawn, "we've been supporting Blink 182 and Fall Out Boy for years, and giving their fans a place to get licensed merch."
Knowing that only 50 Hoppus-Wentz octopus drives will ever come into existence the excitement for fans has reached boiling point.
"Almost immediately following the announcement we've seen a significant increase of Blink 182 and Fall Out boy merch sales, as fans have been pouring into Planet 13™ in search for the octopus drive", Shawn reveals.
The locations of the remaining drives are still to be announced. Watch Hoppus' twitter and pickrset for more details.
