For those of you suffering from NINfluenza if you don't have a Vick's Vaporizer go and buy one. I ran mine all night and I slept like a rock and woke up feeling much better.

Sunday, and I still can't believe I got to watch it go down. Let's see...
1. That picture of Trent on a unicorn with a rainbow, butterfly and bird in the background? Priceless.

2. I wanted to hear Gary perform again sooo much. After watching him perform at the Palladium, I was left ravenous for more. I was very happy when he took to the stage and made my way to Amoeba yesterday to buy an album. Love it.

3. During a quick break, I thought to myself, "Damn, I sure would like to hear Me, I'm Not." Lo and behold, that's exactly what they broke into! I literally swooned, a great, big dopey grin broke across my face as I uttered, "Yeaahhh," and my head rolled back. *sigh* It was great.

4. Piggy remix? Too. Fucking. Cool. It killed me. Slayed me.

5. I'm officially in love with Robin Finck. Man, that guy can play! I loved watching him dance, he was so into it!

6. His name escapes me, but the drummer? Spot on. He was awesome. I felt damn near hypnotized watching him play Eraser.

7. *screaming joyfully at the top of my lungs* I GOT A NIN GUITAR PICK!!!

8. I loooved watching Trent play the tamborine.

9. There was a guy standing in front of me to my right who was well over six feet tall. Grey shirt I think, green ear plugs. I was terrified he would be blocking my view during the show. He let my short ass stand in front of him. A million thanks!

10. The mood was weird. I, too, felt the crowd wasn't as into it as the previous shows. However, I think it was just the solemnity of the situation. I think despite our mutual feelings of gratitude and giddiness, we were all pretty sad that it was the last show.

11. The first time I heard In This Twilight, I weeped. I was at the absolute lowest point of my life and hearing that song made me lay on the floor and cry. To have Nine Inch Nails, the tour, everything, end on that song almost made me have to sit down. I'm so glad he did it.

12. Oh, for crying out loud! Was David Bowie there or not?!

13. I managed to get some merch (no red t) but was quite disappointed to find out there was nothing but shirts and posters. No stickers? No buttons? Last time I checked, this stuff wasn't available on the nin.com merch tab either. Any advice as to where I can score this stuff?

14. When I left, there were more people giving out schwag than you could shake a stick at. I love schwag. A gem I have is a promo CD for The Horrors. I love it! Did anyone else get one that they don't want? I would love to have an extra.

15. I was really hoping to hear (aside from Me, I'm Not and Gary N.) The Becoming, Dead Souls and The Wretched. I got it all. Thank you, Trent & Co.! I was also hoping to hear Perfect Drug and remember someone posting before on another Discussion Line that they will Never perform that song and they will Never perform PHM in its entirety because of Kinda I Want To. Why is this? I asked before but the message board was taken down before I had a chance to check the response. Does anyone know the deal? The curiosity is killing me.

16. I heard some, "You're going to see them Again?!," too. I was like, "You're not?" I pity the poor fool who don't like the NIN! YES! I AM A NINNY AND I'M PROUD OF IT!

17. So That's what Atmosphere sounds like! Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!

18. Did anyone else feel bits of the ceiling fall on their head? Or was that just me? OR, was it the people in the balcony dropping stuff? Hmmm...

19. For future (any) show reference: how the hell does one get one of these backstage pass thingies? I mean, is it something that you can only get if you're press or someone famous? How does a fan get one? You know someone who knows someone? I always wondered.

20. I was so relieved when Trent said the music would still be made. However, I was a bit confused - does he mean he, Trent Reznor, is going to continue making music, or NIN? I guess what I mean is, when I go to buy a CD in the future, will I go to the letter N or the letter R? Can someone please clarify?

Thank you for everything, everyone! I'm so grateful I could experience all this! I won't ever forget it! Nope!

#15...I think Kinda I Want to is a song that Trent doesn't care for too much, I read it somewhere on the Internet. I don't particularly care for The Perfect Drug, maybe Trent doesn't either?

I think my NINfluenza is somewhere between a head cold and a sinus infection right now.
I ate "real hot" hot wings for lunch and it certainly helped loosen up the stuff in my sinus cavity, although I couldn't really taste the food.

Can't believe it's been an entire week either!! Feels like it was 2 days ago!

Home again, home again…and finally with a spare moment to give my input for whatever it is worth.

The Wiltern show was great, but it couldn’t possibly compare to the shows in NYC and Chicago. Those were just too fun and more enjoyable than I can ever express. LA was a different animal, though it was extremely fun all the same. My favorite show in LA was Fonda, a show that I was never supposed to be at, but a fantastic one all the same. It was just great circumstances and everyone was happy to be there. We had line entertainment and I arrived just in time to say goodbye to an awesome memeber of the crew.

Wiltern, on the other hand, had many things happen that led me to start out the show thinking that it wasn’t going to be one of the best shows I have seen. But, I soon realized that it was myself that was holding me back from having a blast and made to rectify the situation. It took me a moment to get into the set, but I managed somehow and ended up having a great time despite all that happened before Trent even took the stage. It was a fun show and I am glad that I came out to see it. I loved all of the songs that were played! I wouldn’t have removed any of them…though I would have added We’re in this Together!! I knew it wouldn’t come, so it wasn’t a real let down when it never did. Though, all the same, I was praying for it until the end. Maybe next time? (Positive thinking, positive thinking!)

On to some specifics about the show, the guests were amazing and I really enjoyed getting to see The Dillinger Escape Plan rock Mr. Self Destruct and Wish. They totally destroyed the stage and brought a ton more energy to an already energy packed show. I also really liked that Trent brought out Atticus to play with him on Me, I’m Not and The Warning. Gary Numan, Mike Garson and Dave Navarro were cool to see again too. Not to mention all of Trent’s speeches throughout the show. My favorite being when he was thanking the crew…for the third time. Once again we got to see his personality shine through! Those are some of my favorite parts of any show!!

Anyways, AWESOME show guys!! Thanks for giving it your all and making it a night to remember. Trent and Co. put on one hell of a performance and one that will be hard to forget!! A thanks also needs to go out to the terrific crew members that tried their best to make sure that the fans were well taken care of and appeased. There is a lot of awesome guys that work for NIN and I would have never known about them had it not been for this tour, so thank you everyone.

The ending was bittersweet and I‘m not sure it hit me until I realized that I had no more plans to see another NIN concert, but I am extremely glad to have been apart of the last show (for now) even if the choice will hinder me in the end at the University. I am not convinced that it is the last time that we will get to see Trent again, in some form or another, and we will be waiting for him whenever he decides to tour again.

Thanks again Trent and Co. for all of the memories and for being great guys. We are waiting to see what you all do next with great anticipation!

Now I am going to go back to coughing up a lung and improving my abs all at the same time! Goodness, this NINfluenza is going to kill me…don’t get your hopes up, some of you,…I’m sure I will be fine.

As for this:

The twins and Sarah (solareyes) are fucking hypocritical cunts. Cutting in line at the last second because you're pissed that you're number 20 in line - lullllllllll.

There was no “the twins.” It was Ash and Sarah, and Sarah had as much right, if not more, to that spot in line than you. She was the only one who stayed out for the spot in your group. Yes, she was a part of your group...at least she was when your clique cut up with her THAT morning - so, technically, you cut her to begin with. Well, your whole group did.

After we lined up on the other side of the building, Sarah came back to get Ash to be her +1 (Her ONLY +1) because she was sick of your groups continual cutting of people. Imagine that, your own group being sick of it - says a lot.

In the end, you fucked your friend. Or maybe you pretended to be her friend for your own selfish means, which is even worse.

also, if you're the guy I was talking to about some aragon merch, please pm me. I want a shirt for each night and a Chi poster. All sold out by the time I got to the merch booth.

WOW!!!
awesome footage!
A multicam edit definitely needs to be made of this

I can't find it (and couldn't post the link anyway), but somebody posted somewhere something along the lines of:


Little known fact...Trent decided to stop touring because he figured it was the only way he could get away from the twins.

Seriously dude. You are talking out of your arse if you believe that to be true.
Im not saying youre lying. You are just wrong. Very wrong. Myself and Torgo were the only ones out of our group who stayed in line perpetually. We both left to get a shower at the same time on one day i think, but that was it. You two did the same on occasions. Are you seriously going to try and tell me Sarah was there the whole time? She didnt stay a night. Her friend was there a lot more than she was. Sarah wasnt even there for the whole of the first day. She arrived on the evening before the Wiltern, stayed for a few hours, then came back later the next afternoon. Also i never pretended to be sarah's friend. I never pretended to like her. She is mostly intolerable and, quite contrary to your garbage, actually tried to use everyone else to cut in line all week. She was just pissed off that I didnt let her. See that? Thats the opposite of Ash's hypocrisy.

I understand you are trying to defend your sibling, but it is indefensible. She tried to cut in at the last moment well aware that the chances of their being repercussions were very low. Fair enough. Worth a try. But dont try and defend it. I think you may just have your groups mixed up. A simple case of mistaken identity. Only one person cut in front of your guys after the first morning: my +1. After she got her ticket i sent her back in line and specified that she get in line at least behind the last person who arrived on the second night, and she did. Your complaints are therefore lies. Sheer fallacy. Just admit youre wrong. Everyone who was there and in front of or behind you, sarah and your sister know the truth, and nobody else cares.



Anyway. If Michelle who supplied me with immodium or Katie/Katy from the very front of the line whose shower alex broke are here, get in touch.

I didn't post it...I was just repeating what someone else posted. I don't know you two for shit except seeing you on the rail in pics. Don't know and don't care - just thought it was a funny comment.

Wow. I was so amazed/emotionally drained/post-nin show depressed after the show that I didn't really realize I had breakfast with a celebrity. Now (1 week later) I realize why everyone kept talking about Adrianne Curry. I can be so slow sometimes LOL.

Anyways, I posted a vid on my youtube account. It's HORRIBLE HORRIBLE quality and I'm not even sure why uploaded it. Guess I just wanted to give proof that I was there...

One week ago I was on the other side of the US. It does seem like so much longer ago. This week at work alone has felt like I have been back for weeks. Its even harder to believe that these final shows started almost a month ago. I had a blast and would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thanks again to all the cool people I met over the last month. It was a great time.

love the images in the background and the foreground as much as Trent himself...

NIN hand puppet play anyone?
