adr2 and i took a nice 3 hour drive to Watertown today, cuz that’s where we were when we found out the show in Ottawa was cancelled because Trent is still sick. get better please.

so on the way home i thought we could stop in upper jay to go to the land of makebelieve, cuz i thought it was on the lake side of the Adirondaks, but I was wrong. it’s near lake placid, so that was still a ways away from where we were. back home it was. stopped at cargil though. that place is very creepy in the wind – too many scary falling apart noises. but still beautiful.

trent has the weekend to get better. 🙂

Nine Inch Nails – Cincinatti

so while toronto1 was my show, cinci was adr2’s show.

i think i’m a moron, because i didn’t quite realize just how far cinci was, and where exactly it was in ohio. for some reason i thought it was in like, mid ohio, not completely across the state, and on the border of kentucky. ha. i know now. the drive took about 6 and a half hours, even going 90 most of the way. and we did end up in kentucky YIKES. that’s alright. it started off pretty nice in line, but got really really cold. no soundcheck or anything, so i was freezing in my dress til they let us in at 6. that’s ok. (but i so totally love the dress)

i think adr2 and i are more teenybopper than ever LOL. the whole thing is just, omg so hot, omg so hot, tambourine so hot haha. the show was great. no songs from the fragile, which makes “closer” seem really odd, and way too early in the set. but that’s ok. adr2 got in a fight during closer haha. “with teeth” which had been infiltrating my brain to be a favourite song is most definitely a favourite song of the moment. live, it’s just so incredible (and sexy). “burn” a highlight as always. the crowd was pretty tame and the guy behind me most of the show seemed afraid to really touch me. haha so that’s ok. better than getting humped from behind.

and then we get to “head like a hole”…pretty typical, i didn’t get kicked in the head like i always seem to during this song. aaron who is a crazy bastard broke the end of his guitar off in the amp which is actually pretty normal…and threw the rest of the guitar into the crowd. so that meant like, right on top of us. and ADRIENNE FUCKING GOT THE GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!! holy fucking shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha the guitar was way over my head, and i don’t really know how she got it since she was next to me, but she went for it. i turned around and didn’t see her, and i just looked at amira and said “she’s fucking got it”. massive fight for it of course, finally saw her and this kid matt who we hung out with all day, and i just knew she was gonna get it. totally awesome.

the fight ended so i went to look for her and ran into the drummer from Moving Units. he apparently recognized me and asked if i went to every show haha. talked to him for a few minutes, and he was really nice. saw adr2 with the guitar and went to her and security wouldn’t let us leave til everyone cleared out so we wouldn’t get jumped hahaha. rockin.

i didn’t remember my being all shaky and nervous til i told adr1 about it, and she reminded me that i was psychic hahahahah. so here’s hoping for more being super nervous before shows.

aaannnddddd kate got me and adr1 our tickets for the super exclusive spiral member only 900 seat show in cali march 31st!! YAAAAY

oh yeah, and before we got to the venue we stopped at the Cincinatti Union Station, also by Felheimer and Wagner. and omg it is breathtaking. it is so beautiful, and so nicely re-developed into 3 museums and an omni max, and stores and restaurants. it’s truely incredible. and a bit depressing, because that could so totally be buffalo central terminal if only someone had some vision and money 20 years ago. very awe inspiring though. tried to find it at night on our way home but couldn’t haha.

the drive home was about 95mph and thank you to the ohio cops who had always pulled someone over already when we went by haha. moms on both sides of us warned about snow – there was about 1 mile of really bad snow outside of cleveland and that was about it. nice drive home, got back at 6:30am. and i slept for 12 hours hahaha

and oh yeah. i feel myself getting sick with the worst of it to hit on friday, so i can go to ottawa for the show 🙂

trent dream. i was back in highschool and adr2 went to the same school with me, but we were the same age as we are now. i guess it was the beginning of the year, or at least a change in what classes you took. i was in an english class and trent was the teacher. everyone knew who he was and that he was from nine inch nails, but he had returned to the thing he loved most of all, teaching. so of course i’m sorta freaking out and i can’t say like one word in the class or to him. days go on like this with me being pretty much retardedly frozen. one day he started talking about his “cause”, which was grain elevators. he was really interested in saving the grain elevators in buffalo and figuring out what could be done with them and stuff. now here was a perfect time for me to finally say something, but i still couldn’t. i had such a crush on him i just couldn’t speak. i even tried to dillydally after class picking up my books hoping he’d say something to me so i could bring up the grain elevators and my photography. but someone else was talking to him. lunch followed my english class so i got my lunch and went to the cafeteria. adr2 was there so we ate lunch and we were like..the only freaks in the whole school. so we sat by ourselves every day. well this day trent decided to sit with us, cuz he would fit in with us. and he showed up just as i was telling adr2 how much of crush i had on him and how the class drives me crazy haha. i saw him and i was like SHUT UP real loud haha. so he sat down and i’m all nervous but i finally was able to tell him that i really love the grain elevators and i’ve taken alot of pictures of them, and if he needed any help with his work to let me know. and he said he already knew about my photography. and i just about died.

i think there was more but i don’t remember. oh yeah. there was another class day, when he started talking about this project he was going to run to try to get everyone to vote some certain person into political office. when the school found out he was doing all this political stuff they threatened to fire him, basing their decision on the fact he was a rock star and that he was poisioning our minds.

hahaha

the lump is still there, but i think it’s smaller. still hurts.

toledo would be a funny word to say if you were high

Nine Inch Nails – Toledo

so much for the ETA of 7 hours, it only took us 5 hours to get to toledo. thankfully it was snow free weather. a nice day overall, near 40 degrees so we didn’t totally need to bundle up when we got to the venue. found amira and her husband, and turns out the girls are back from france for this leg. hah they are nuts. we were outside for about an hour and half before spiral members got let in to wait in the hall of the arena.

and let me just say, toledo is bitchin! wtf..there is NOTHING there. why does toledo even exist?

now this arena…is probably a tiny bit bigger than sabreland LOL. i couldn’t believe they have the red wings farm team play there. it was nuts. so we got moved around the hallway of the arena for awhile and nin started sound check. they hadn’t been doing sound check at alot of the shows, i think only one before this one. they played “dead souls” first, then halfway through “you know what you are” they let us onto the floor to see “with teeth”. yay with teeth is back!! trent + tambourine = love. so then we were herded back out into the hallway for another bunch of time. it was fun though hanging with the people we met last leg.

finally let onto the floor for real, at the rail in front of aaron surprise! it seemed like a really long wait, since now there’s only one opener. it was Moving Units. i’d group them into that whole 80s killers throwback crap, even tho i don’t think the killers sound 80s at all. this band really did, and the lead singer is a spazz and looked like he came out of the 80s. and i guess ryan shuck was a trend setter with his gross mullet 2 years ago, cuz everyone is doing it now. they were ok.

the nin show i think is one of the best from the arena shows i’ve seen. it might have just been the setlist changes. but the band with josh drumming sounded really really good. they threw in “with teeth” “getting smaller” um…they took out “suck” and “hurt” (though it was probably because the night before in grand rapids someone hit trent in the head with a lighter during the song and he just left and ended the show), oh yeah, they did “everyday is exactly the same” which was the first time we got it since the first toronto club show. that was awesome. it sounds better now too. “closer” with the platform – totally hot. lots of trent hotness 🙂

burn.

gday.

the venue also had the best security i have ever seen. this one guy could grab any crowd surfer, even a guy bigger than him, and just throw them around to the ground no sweat. they really made me want to crowdsurf, because i want to do it once in my life, but i’m scared of security dropping me haha. a girl who got pulled out during “head like a hole” apparently kicked me in the head. cuz after the show outside she grabbed me and apologized haha. that was nice.

since toledo sucks we decided to just drive home after the show and not stay over. got home at 4am and could not sleep to save my life, tho i was wicked tired. then mom came over at like 8 to see the cat tho i emailed her and told her i was home and not to come wake me up haha.

i need new boots. i’m sure hot topic will only have platforms that i don’t want, but i’m gonna go see anyway.

and THIS is the greatest video ever. trent singing billy idol. you all must click and watch. and it’s hilarious that he has the same mannerisms while performing now as he did back then LOL. oh man.

dear god we’re gonna go broke

“Trent has already confirmed a Summer ’06 “Amphitheater” tour”

gah! amira emailed me about last night’s show. possible no soundcheck/meet and greets this leg.

and i realized that i can wear the fishnet-dress-i-bought-even-though-i’d-never-have-a-reason-to-wear-it dress to the vegas show since we have seats and won’t have to sit out side in the freezing cold all day 🙂 yay!

dream

wicked dream about trent last night. me and trent were together, engaged or married i’m not sure. but we owned the terminal and lived there. but it was built on a lake. so the floor of the concourse was the frozen surface of the lake. and we owned a grocery store in the concourse LOL. there was a big whole part of us just living and normal life. then i was somewhere with someone and i noticed 3 old ladies rappelling from the ceiling into the lake through a hole in the ice. i was like wtf is this? first couldn’t believe they were 80 year old ladies, second that they were rapelling into a frozen lake and not immediately dying. then 4 more young kids were rappelling from the ceiling. well it wasn’t really rappelling, they had their ropes, but then they were swinging on them and trying to reach the ropes of the old ladies, which turned sorta into trapeeze lines, with the bar to hold on to. so i thought, hm…i better go find trent and see if he approved people doing this. he was working in the grocery store so i went in to find him, and jenn was a cashier and told me he was in back. so i go looking all around the stock areas and can’t find him. so i’m walking back up front and he appears. he said he was in the office doing schedules. and he was so happy. we went out to the concourse to see the rappelling people and the old women were doing it again. they reached the water and then weren’t getting out. you could just see their grey hair on top of the water. but they weren’t dead or drowning. that was just normal i guess. so trent and i decided to go somewhere so we went to the parking garage, which wasn’t underground like in real life. he was just so happy to be with me, and was so nice. we went to his car, a black porche, and were talking about something, and he said he’d buy me a new car, and he was all cute and smily.

and there was something about me with a baby. i think i was taking care of megan for jenn while she went on vacation or something. i don’t think that was a part of the trent dream.
