link to Ebay WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ireekofawesumnes aka Michael Baltadonis aka douchebag that bought all the T-shirts at Echoplex posted a listing on Ebay for his tickets for tonight! I thought he was black listed from the final shows! I just saw this, so sorry if it is a re-post.
Does anyone know if this has been posted and where the best place to report it would be if it has not?
i just reported him on ebay saying he's a previous fraudster, the listing is inaccurate (second to last show), bidding ends one month after the event etc

Thank you so much! I sent a message to Rob and leo3375 has tweeted it. So hopefully something will be done about him. I guess it does not make any difference, as I doubt anyone would buy them at that price. But I'm just really pissed about what happened at the Echoplex. There were so many great people I met there around me that I know did not get shirts because of this douche.
i've finished all but the last 4 songs. they'll go up tonight i suspect.
There you are! It was great to meet you as the line moved up later in the day. I don't know how you can record entire shows, let alone keep the camera as steady as you do. My arms kept getting tired near the end of just one song, haha.

my secret recipe? a heaping helping of stubbornness, a high pain threshold, a good massage therapist, and a fantastic chiropractor!
They may not be HD, but they're REALLY good. I like them as much as synthetik's. AWESOME! I was stuck behind the sound board so I'm so glad you and syn got great footage and audio.

I started feeling ill after the Palladium show, afterall Trent was within inches of me during piggy.
I can barely speak, my nose is stuffy as well as my ears and my head was throbbing yesterday. I slept for 16 hours.
Damn. I'm in the same condition and I was right next to Trent during Piggy at the Palladium (ha - as if sleeping on the sidewalk didn't help much either...).
When I'm not sleeping or working on other things, I'm going to do a full write up with pictures of the entire week experience - all four concerts on rail.
I was one of the lucky ones that got into the show without having a ticket before hand.
The show was Amazing as usual..
Met some awesome people in line and made some great new friends..Thanks NIN
I was told by some of the NIN Staff that Chris Vrenna was the special guest but I guess not.
Numan was awesome!!
yooo!!! I was one of the new yawkas who met you on line. I think. Pretty sure your tag thing said ringfinger. Anyway, you were an awesome line pal during the time we were on the same line haha.
LOL.....That was me!!!
I Kinda forgot to complete my screen name.. You were hella cool as well..
It was a long day but so worth it....did ya get a released ticket or did your angel show
up with the extra ticket for you?
Awesome pics! I've also been sick as hell starting on the 9th, so I haven't been able to pick up the pieces and properly process....
I was reflecting on the show some more, remembering how awesome the sound FELT. Just in the small space with all the bodies acting as resonators of the total sound, it was an experience like no other NIN experience. I think that's what Trent meant about the full circle comment... coming back to those feelings he mentioned recalling in the interview with trent v. of just starting out in tiny clubs, and seeing the total strangers connecting back to him, realizing what he was doing had impact. That was the kind of experience I craved after coming out of the ninja shows where it was a bit spoiled by the atmosphere.
ALSO: So glad mr ass-sumness got some shit back for hassling the wrong fans. Kinda makes me sad we didn't get active about him when his first echo scalp listings went up, it was so easy to sniff out his details. I didn't think such a person would be brokering sale of his extra with tickets in his own name, but I guess I failed to judge the stupidity level of this goon.

maryelle your photography is absolutely stellar. so beautiful. i can't say how impressed i am. did you go to any of the other LA shows?
Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it.
I went to the Palladium show but didn't take any pictures, because about 10 minutes before doors some crazy man told me he talked to JT personally and was told, by JT himself, that the venue would not allow cameras in and NIN couldn't do anything about it, and I was stupid enough to believe him. So I ran my camera back to a friend's car. Of course I asked JT once I got in about this and he said my camera was fine and that he had talked to nobody. So this guy was either a lunatic or misunderstood our entire conversation or had his own camera and thought he'd be "exclusive." No idea, but the end result is I got no pictures. Then I missed Fonda due to the reschedule, and I was supposed to fly back for Wiltern and woke up deathly ill and had to cancel my trip. So the only LA show I have pictures for is Echoplex, and I didn't get many there. The lens and viewfinder kept steaming up and it was really hard to stay still to focus.
I put up a couple more from Webster last night and still have more to do. Yesterday was about the first day I could really do any work since Thursday.
One of the hardest places I've ever had to shoot. But hot sweaty fun.

Ah! I found this one last night and was a bit stunned -- I'm the one dead center (with the red fauxhawk). It's always interesting to see photos of what it actually looked like around me, since the picture I imagine in my head as the show progresses is never at all correct! Thanks for happening to catch me.
This is honestly some of the best non-soundboard taping I've heard. Thank you so much! I was up against the rail almost directly in front of one of the stacks (ouch), so to me your recording sounds even better than the real thing.
As somebody with little to no raw audio/video skills, I am really fucking appreciative of you and all the other tapers who let me relive my shows. *This* show especially -- I'm surprised your recorder didn't spontaneously combust from the heat or become too drenched in sweat to function...
