Former Blink-182 bassist-vocalist Mark Hoppus has offered a wink to fans hopeful for a comeback.

In his first blog entry since drummer Travis Barker's fateful plane crash two months ago, Hoppus admits that the erstwhile trio—including guitarist-vocalist Tom Delonge—have been communicating...and even hanging out.

"In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis and I have all spoken together," he writes. "First through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours."

While Hoppus admits they have been "positive conversations" and calls it "a good thing," he refuses to predict a reunion.

"None of us know. We haven’t talked about it at all...The events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. Life is too short."

The threesome went on "indefinite hiatus" in February 2005. Hoppus and Barker most recently collaborated on the band +44.
