I can't believe I recognized someone off a forum post. There ain't no hiding on the Internet. Did you ever see my Sheryl Crow pictures? They were okay but kind of grainy.
Recognized me from my avatar, eh? (o:
Anyway, I listed that as one of my last three shows too, with the caveat of "Hey! It was Free!"

For last three concerts, I put the last big three but I've been to many more smaller shows. Also wish there had been a "what CDs did you buy AND illegally download? Because I almost always do both, esp. when the group in question gives away so much free stuff.
Not sure I've been to a lot of smaller concerts since then. (Which is unusual). I filled out the survey at work and realized I don't remember anything anymore without looking at ticket stubs and the DVDs/CDs. I really don't illegally download much, as far as I know. (Mash-ups maybe?) What I'm not given to hand off to internet DJs, I get as compensation for *accidentally* finding myself spending the show selling the artists' merch, and, having a cache of Sharpies when they had none. (Musicians are notorious Sharpie thieves!)
I suspect I'm older than the target demographic for the survey anyway.
My textbook comments would've been something like:
cThules posted:I joked with folks on The Spiral that I wouldn't join that until classical piano tour dates got announced (ha ha). Hence, I missed a lot of NIN activity (and the bulk of the YZ game, dammit!)
I joined this "revamped" site with fairly fresh eyes. I'm still pretty impressed at the effort being made for fans, for free. Compared to how little access we had to Trent, inc. a decade ago, this is amazing.
I want to see independent musicians succeed. Glad to have someone as high profile as NIN be one of the leading experiments. Hope this survey actually helps.
