Oh, is that what that wet stuff is? You're good!

Don't go swimming if there is lightening. And watch out for the sharks. Piss on someone if they get stung by a stingray or jellyfish. It really does work...my brother says it did.

Anyways, Trent and co. should be looking out for crocs... With all this rain and inundations, the salties are hanging out in the streets...

That's just with the flooding in north Queensland, Australia. . . NZ are too far south for salties, right?

I've really missed these updates; I love seeing the world through the eyes of NIN!

2.17.09: Day off, headed to the beach



Lol. It's raining.

that's not my idea of weather to head down to the beach...it's all backwards there

Haha it really is! Hope they have fun!

Going to the beach on a day like that is so utterly appropriate it's ridiculous. The beach isn't just for getting a tan, it's beautiful just to watch the waves, especially if it's stormy, and listen to the rain, and lie there getting absolutely soaked like a crazy fucker. One of the most theraputic things you can do, really clears your head

Night.

I gotta agree with this. Beach + rain = nice. Especially because you go to the beach to get wet anyway, so whether it's by rain or by ocean, what does it matter, right?

Really? I'd have to try that sometime then. And lightning storms are always fun to watch!

He, he, I was thinking about what my future looks like right now and then saw your update and said: "My, Trent. That´s it. Only you could picture it so clearly".

Hope the gray skies clear up soon. Hope I get to go to the tour with Jane´s Addiction, wish it stops in Mexico or somewhere I can fly to.

Wish you all the best, peace and freedom.

Love,
Gabriela

My first thought was, odd weather to go to the beach in, but I have to agree with hybrid- it's a really lovely experience Rainy days are so nice

roar! what a beast! and, aww Ilan is so cute

thanks for the pics Rob

wow! I can see the most vibrant green through the clouds! I don't know if I've seen a color like this before!

Erm, I think Trent was being sarcastic about how crappy our weather is today. I get the feeling he doesn't intend to go to the beach. NZ does not have crocs and very few sharks and we drive on the left of the road. that is all!

I was just thinking though, Trent could happily walk down the beach by himself here in NZ and I bet no one would even realise who he is. Think about it, you don't really notice peoples faces when you're walking down a beach, you're not EXPECTING to see someone famous Serj Tankian surfs at Raglan not far from where I live a few months of year and no one so much as speaks to him, you'd never think Serj was surfing at your beach would you?

Lucky lucky XD
We're all. . ohai crocs and sharks, here at the moment.

What you're saying about the beach is very true, too. When you go to the beach, you're not going to look for famous faces. You're going to chill out and not notice much of anything.

..a photo feed from the gig...?
*sobs in gratitude*
what an audio experience that was too, since music starts to play in memory when seeing photo headlines, and the last picture brings the patter of raindrops on a window, wheels on wet tarmac

we're so spoiled
thank you

I love the beach in the rain - I hope he wasn't being sarcastic and really goes. I also love the beach in the fall/winter the ocean seems so much louder.
