And now a word from Ronnie and David


Adri.. David says he loves you and wants to marry you..
Ronnie.. says.. well I can't repeat what Ronnie said! lol

Both of them miss you tons!


The Boat Crew.. They love you all and miss you! Want to know when you are all coming back to party with them.


as for my my liver is scared to party with them

Fortunately for them... I am here and they are there. Their livers would tremble at the thought of drinking with me. Especially David. I saw what happened to him... and I mixed his drinks, so I know what he had! Ronnie keeps up a lot better, though... But I am German and Irish... Whiskey is the water of life! heheh.

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...

Thanks for posting anyways! I noticed that not too many people that have posted vids ever took the time to get a 360 crowd shot at the end of a song. Bravo for thinking out of the frame!

EPIC F'ING FAIL ON MY PART!!

I'm in THE BAND and I posted to the wrong gig. Jeez. Lame.

Sorry,

That's OK. You're in the fucking band. You can do whatever you want as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you. Period.

I think the no more NIN shows is hitting the With_Teeth era fans harder than those of us who were fans before. I've been reading a lot about no NIN shows to plan for. Well as a NIN fan historically that has been par for the course. Between 96-99 No concerts to look forward to, Between mid '00-mid'05 no concerts to look forward too. These last four years are a fluke in NIN history. I guess that's why I'm not so depressed about never seeing NIN again. There was a time in the late 90's I thought I would never see NIN and am very grateful for the 13 times I have been able to see them.

Agreed.

loving that the girls are bringing the drama to the forums. now i can relive it all over again.

@ vampvertigo - recovering those files right now is about a 50/50 shot. it could go either way.

Hmm cutting the first day instead of the second day makes that okay?

Did you read the next sentence?

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

Of course you did. Youre just trying to get away with picking and choosing information. Its the American way i guess.

From your own words you multiplied 2 into 7 and that's just with +1s.

Where did i say that please? My words are in front of you, but you seem to be drawing it from nowhere. There were three people in my group. Four when my +1 joined. Three when we went into the venue after i had sent her back. Please explain.

aden 410 posted:

You let people cut all the same. What's more you openly admit we were there the entire time and that you weren't.

Your comprehension skills are clearly below the level of an infant if you got that from this:

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.

Please clarify.

Note: Sarah invited me to be her +1, she was part of your group and had every right to be a part of it, I don't need anyone's defending.

Note: Sarah was the +1 of somebody else who she abandoned to try and rush to the front with you.
Note: Sarah was not part of my group. I actively tried to dissociate myself from her. MY group was a group of 3 people.

Please, in future, try and engage in debate properly without resorting to making stuff up. You may be taken more seriously this way.

Seriously, arguments over the line over a week after the show has ended? I don't remember all this drama back in the late nineties at NIN shows but maybe I was just happy to be there any opportunity I had. Oddly enough, I will say that of the couple of shows I have attended this year it has been the same couple of suspects always complaining about something. Different cities, same people.

I hope everyone who got sick feels better. I feel lucky that I did not, considering medically I have a severely compromised immune system and would have to be hospitalized if a little cold or flu set it. I'm so thankful I was able to evade the bug that seemed to be going around. Get well soon guys!

I have never encountered line drama at a NIN show until these LA shows. Any other NIN show I've been to no one camped out for days either. I mean showing up at 6 am has always been acceptable but before that just wasn't necessary, that is why I was shocked at the Palladium when people were camped out the day before. But at these shows I did encounter a lot of people I had never seen at shows before so it might just be a few select individuals who have entitlement issues.

Agreed. I've been to several hundred shows spanning 21 years (7 NIN shows) in all kinds of venues and have never seen the line drama that I observed in L.A. at the Palladium, Echoplex, Fonda, and Wiltern shows.

The lovely lady who distributed mini chocolate doughnuts in the Wiltern line counted the number of people out as she went down the line and said I was #58 that morning. I suspect I was closer to #178 when we actually picked up our tickets/wristbands at 4pm (distribution started at 3pm).

We were still able to get one spot on the rail/2nd row behind the rail in the pit and purchase our event t-shirts without having to camp out in a stinky, rat/maggot infested alley; break the 8am line-up rule; cut the line; and/or cause any drama.

to the guy who mentioned it: i did a couple of 360's from my spot, here ya go

Hey NINers! Raggedy old Yoshata's mom checking in on this thread. Thought I'd insert my two-cents *cough, cough* suppose-itory...

I've taken my kid, Yoshata, to 5 NIN shows this past year. She, being young, always wanted to line up as soon as possible to get 'on the rail' or, close to it. In terms of the Wiltern, it was most definitely a camp-out situation. In hindsight, the, IMHO, perpetual and predictable line 'issues' should have indicated that, indeed, camping out was unnecessary (GI-FUCKING-NORMOUS line swell pre-show). But, she was full of adrenaline and I wasn't about to begrudge her the opportunity.

There was line drama at the Santa Barbara NINJA show due to the fact that the charity donation people were allowed to stay inside after their meet and greet. Some people are just prone to see the glass as half empty no matter what happens. So sad that a small but vocal few end up giving the whole scene a bad reputation.

We didn't know about the drama at SB until we woke up the next day. It didn't matter a bit. We still ended up on the rail (excellent venue). Yoshata (Olivia) had shared with me the information about the last minute donations and extras that came with them. We weren't able to donate at that time, but it was extremely generous of those who did and, I felt, they deserved something special. Seems to me, after all was said and done, the more vociferous travelling fans found superior vantage points in the end.

Oh my godaaaaaaah . I left my firstborn camping out in that stinky, rat/maggot infested alley overnight! But, then, she was in great company; NIN fans and a late-night snack delivery by Dave Navarro (huge thanks to the fan that took their picture--it's great!)

I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the NIN/NINJA shows I have been to with my daughter. Every show has had its own unique quirks, nuances and drama. Each venue presented its own challenges and discomforts (the terms sweaty, stinky, and line-cutting poop-heads come to mind). Cheaters and usurpers will always be with us. I've been both in my lifetime. However, I am proud to say that my kid has her father's morals and not mine. So I've been damn proud and happy to wait out the lines, honestly, with her, and the cool, non-drama NIN fans, every time, knowing that she was experiencing her own personal heaven each show.

Thanks to NIN; thanks for your music and thanks for giving so much to your fans.

Oh. Strwbrryjam, so great to see you in the seated area in the first tier . I was the tired, inebriated blonde clinging to the wall, pit left, all by my lonesome (in case you glanced that way--I'm guessing you were quite focused on the show!) Heal quickly!!

Well, turns out, NINfluenza had invaded me, got bored and morphed into full blown pneumonia. Just diagnosed today. Couldn't believe it. Another casualty. But you know what...Totally worth it. "If I could only do it all again." I Would!!! No regrets.

Hugs to you.

I am on day four of the NINfluenza and am well on my way to a full-blown case of bronchitis, if not pneumonia (I've had pneumonia before). Although the congestion in my sinus cavity has drastically improved since yesterday, my voice was absent when I woke up this morning. I can also feel that I'm just teetering on the edge of a developing a deep cough that will last for weeks. I see a trip to the doctor and mucinex in my near future.

Still sick here, and now my girlfriend has it. started in my lungs on Sunday, then went up to my head early in the week. Now its back into my lungs as well.

And all the bickering over the line, who cares? It's over, we all had a blast and thats all that matters.

Pffft... there's nothing to worry about. Sleeping over at the venue was possibly one of the funnest things we did all week. It was much more eventful than sitting in our hotel rooms or anything else that we had done in preparation for the other shows. I mean, fuck - we had hobos twirling batons and talking about being onstage with Stevie Wonder, three fifths of alcohol, a fight almost happen with the t-shirt guy who came by and tried to sell Jane's Addiction t-shirts, trips to Denny's, Mcdonalds, and Ralphs, and fucking Dave Navarro (with a shirt on). It's just too bad the rest of you missed out on the party.

And about the line bickering - it doesn't really matter. We all got great spots on rail, some of us - more so than others because of some free 'Front of the Line' token that I wasn't aware of being passed out - but overall, what matters is that it was an amazing show.

yea i never thought id have so much fun camping out in line. and i was actually right next to the maggots/rats/garbage but it was worth it and everyone i met there was awesome.

having shown up to LA with only a Palladium ticket, i consider myself incredibly lucky to have witness this show. i managed to score a ticket when some more went on sale online on 09/07/09. it was such a surreal experience, i couldn't believe i was there. i did get a little choked up as the band made their final exit after In This Twilight, like they did during Lights In The Sky tour. i'm so glad just to be in that audience.

anyways, here's a couple of pics i took. as i add more to my flickr account i will contribute them to the gallery here.




HOW DOES IT FEEEEEEEEEL!!! SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!

Suck was fucking awesome. One of my favorites at the show. That along with Somewhat Damaged. I probably burned 1/2 of my energy I reserved for the whole show on that song alone. That song is pure angst! By the time In This Twilight came on, I was smoking tired lol.

Had ninfluenza for 1 day. Yay.
