For some reason I like making lists, so here goes:
When all is said and done I'll (hopefully) have attended 13 shows (is that unlucky?), I've been to 9 so far. Depending on who you ask, I guess this can be seen as either modest in comparison to some other people, or moderately crazy.
06.17.2006 - Nikon at Jones Beach Theater, Wantagh, NY [my first was a little late in the game but a great show nonetheless, I'll always remember it, and I only wish I had seen them sooner after witnessing it's awesomeness, also my only time seeing the Aaron North/Jeordie White lineup]
08.27.2008 - IZOD Center, East Rutherford, NJ [the 2+ years in between the first show and this felt like an eternity!]
08.29.2008 - Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA [first NIN show on the floor, memorable for that reason and many more]
11.06.2008 - House of Blues at Showboat Hotel & Casino, Atlantic City, NJ [first truly intimate NIN gig, an epic night I'll never forget]
12.13.2008 - Performing Arts Theater (?) at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, NV [first NIN show I traveled pretty far for, last LitS show and last show for Freese and Cortini so very memorable as well]
05.18.2009 - Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV [felt like witnessing a completely revitalized NIN after the last Vegas show, such an awesome night, 1st time having pre-sale ticket and 1st & only NIN rail experience!]
06.05.2009 - Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ [almost didn't go to this one, but after Vegas I felt like I had to and it was well worth it!]
06.06.2009 - PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ [did the EDLC soundcheck and M&G for this show. That, the awesome setlist, and being in the 5th row thanks to pre-sale luck made this probably the best night of my life]
06.07.2009 - Nikon at Jones Beach Theater, Wantagh, NY [last NINJA show, and what I thought was going to be my last NIN show until these new dates came along. felt bittersweet at the time but now looking back it was just another great NIN show, like all the rest]
-upcoming shows-
08.23.2009 - Webster Hall, New York, NY [never thought I'd get tickets to this, would have loved Bowery Ballroom but who wouldn't? I really feel truly lucky to get to see this show]
08.25.2009 - Terminal 5, New York, NY [again, blind luck to thank here for getting pre-sale tickets, and it's on my birthday! guaranteed awesome night]
08.26.2009 - Terminal 5, New York, NY [will be trying for tickets during regular on-sale, so hopefully I will be at this show, but I would not be terribly upset if I didn't get a ticket]
09.02.2009 - Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA [I thought I was going to finish it off in NY, but the crazy NIN fan in me wouldn't let me, so I'll be at this, my last NIN show in a city I've never been to. Exciting!]
