oh yeah. i ran into the guy who was playing keyboards for jeff martin this summer, who always played in my fav crappy band at the casino. so i asked him about it, and he said jeff is off doing his solo acoustic indian music thing, and they may go out on the road again after that. wow. what a downgrade to be on tour with a big artist and then come back to this terrible coverband who plays at the casino. but he’s still cute. haha

kitty isn’t mad at me anymore for taking him to the vet. went to a new place, they all seemed nice, and the dr talked my ear off about the casino. ran into my 6th grade and high school art teacher mr martin there. kinda neat.

lets go buffalo! i found out how to request an appearance at an event by sabretooth. i’m so getting him at the terminal for something.

i had a moment with this kid at work last night. we were waiting to be put somewhere by the grave shift at 4 and were talking about music. he’s a big aerosmith fan, has seem them 40 some times i guess. and a girl came up to me to ask me about this nin song she heard on 103.3 that was trent singing ghostbusters…and i was like um..no? LOL anyway…got to talking about cover songs and how everyone and his brother has covered “come together” and “helter skelter”, and then how we can respect the beatles but don’t like them. and i said something about how i found them boring, and “i want to hold your hand”…no thank you. and just as i was thinking it, this kid says “yeah, i want to hold your hand? no, i want to fuck you like an animal, yes” LOL

holy mother of god

“The Nine Inch Nails frontman performed with an unconventional string quartet of two cellos, a bass and a violin (and, on one song, some Asian stringed instrument I couldn’t identify from my seat). Reznor played piano and sang, very quietly and very loudly.”

remembered another part of the nin dvd dream…that one of the clips was of alex and me and adr2 were like, aww they included alex. and he was totally all “animal” from the muppets…going crazy, hair all over the place, standing up and drumming.

attempting to dye my hair red again. this time i’m going to attempt to sleep with a bag on my head, and not to get red dye everywhere. so far, red all over my hands, scalp and neck, but we’ll see how much stays on my hair…i’m gonna wake up and think i was stabbed or something haha.

it amuses me that every time i get in bed to read the asbestos book i start coughing haha

dream

dreams…something about a nin dvd coming out, so i went to the store and bought it, brought it home to watch with adr2 i think…and some others. it wasn’t a concert video, but clips of different stuff. and after watching the first set it stopped working. so i decided to go back to the store to get another one, and a radio station was there doing some kind of promo where you could win the dvd. but i didn’t win. suddenly chris and alex were there so i kept trying to make them go try to win the dvd for me. then i was on a trip with the toronto ue meetup group, camping or something. and that whole thing was weird. then for whatever reason i was at the richardson complex. i think chris and alex were there to begin with, but then disappeared. other ppl i didn’t know were there, and i don’t know why we were there, except that we were inside the fence just hanging out. then we watched as a guy who was also inside the fence got out through a hole in the chain link. i was like oo!!! a way in!…even tho we were already inside the fence…then leighanne was there for a short time, and i was like, look at the hole in the fence, we could get in except it’s way too visible to the functioning hospital. so we were trying to think of a way to get inside the fence that we were already inside without anyone seeing us go through the hole. she disappeared, and suddenly a person was opening the door to let ppl inside for $25. so hell yeah i was going to pay $25 bucks to finally get inside the kirkbride. and conveniently i had my brand new dSLR camera with me, so it worked out. we walked into an area that looked familiar to me from other photos, tho i don’t think that’s the case in real life. i was so amazed i sat on the floor and started crying hahhah. i thought about texting dan that he was visiting too late, cuz now i had finally gotten into the last frontier of buffalo urbex without him. looking around more, it didn’t look like a hospital at all. went downstairs into another floor/basement, which apparently had been used in a horror movie cuz there was all sort of scary crap and bloody maniquins and stuff. walked by a lunch counter, which i said i had a photo of from when the hospital was open. then upstairs to a room with either skylights or no roof, and you could see city hall and other buffalo buildings as if the hospital was down town. so i was trying to take a picture out the skylight of city hall but it kept moving haha. then i was trying to take a picture of the 2 towers of the hospital out the skylight..even tho i was in the hospital….made no sense.

and i just remembered that in the dvd part of the dream, one of the vid clips of the band had the band members in storm trooper costumes and me and adr2 cracked up laughing

the 28th and final show….for now

NIN Pittsburgh

a tornado, traffic, 2 semi’s harassing us all the way down 79, bad venue directions again, 5 hours later and a half an hour to park, adr and i got to the venue outside of pittsburgh right as bauhaus was about to go on. turns out we actually had GOOD spiral seats….1st row of seats behind the pit, dead center. it felt like we were in the pit, just with no one touching us haha. too bad no cameras….

bauhaus was great again. peter murphy didn’t want to sing the “saxaphone” song again, but daniel ash said, i don’t care i’m gonna do my tongue clicking part anyway. hahah there was mega hot action during “rose garden”.

nin’s set was pretty normal…back to the “usual” for this leg. but…towards the end of the set, after…hurt…trent started talking about how long they’ve been on tour and that it was nice to play so close to where he grew up. then he started to say they were going to play something they hadn’t before… so i thought OMG PERFECT DRUG…well no. he then introduced peter murphy, who came out and they played “final solution.” didn’t know the song, but it was friggen great, they were totally having fun on stage, and interacted well together. something special for our last show.

getting out of the venue was the fastest ever, about 10 min!?! but boots + gravel = sprained ankle. feels fine right now but we’ll see tomorrow haha. the drive home was uneventful and back to the more acceptable 3.5 hrs.

if you drive south on us-62, aka niagara falls blvd, you’ll eventually get to mercer. LOL the highway sign for mercer had the us-62 label and i was like, wait a minute! a direct link! hahahahahahhha no we didn’t go to the high school again.

so it’s over. i’m very much looking forward to not driving the stretch of the 90 between buffalo and erie for a great while. so while a break will be nice as trent finishes the album, i dont have anything to really look forward to at this point. saving money for europe will be nice….

anyway. i don’t know what else to say. good night.

26 years…

gah. way too much traveling this week. a recap.

i hate ohio.

tuesday brought the nin show in “cleveland”. got there around 3 i think and met up with adr2 and bliss. it wasn’t a too bad of day, considering the forecast said storms all day long. there was all kind of line drama again, and bull. but whatever. had pit tickets for this one, and it was a decent sized pit.

peaches – i quite enjoy her.

bauhaus – i like them more each show. peter murphy was all snarky and diva, yelling at the light guys for having things set up wrong.

nin – same set as detroit. i was really irritated so i didn’t quite have the best time. i decided that i didn’t feel like participating, so i just watched. noticed alot of things that i don’t normally when one is rocking out. like trent watches everyone in the front during “burn”. the band sounded great again. rob sheridan has been recording at least parts of the shows for an HD dvd, i hope they get the audio from these outdoor venues. it is killer.

after the show i took off out of the pit right away. just wanted to get out. walking out the same way we came in, daniel ash from bauhaus is just sitting on this cement wall on the side of the stage. apparently no one else was paying any attention because everyone just kept walking right on by. if you saw him how could you NOT know it was him. he is the most rock star looking rock star i’ve ever seen. so i went over, shook hands, said they were great and see you tomorrow. he was very nice. and hot. LOL

on the way out, walking with adr and jess and mike, 2 ppl we met in toronto, we ran into this guy being all weird who wanted to talk to us. we thought he was on drugs or something, but he was just really excited because he had recorded the show and wanted us to listen hahaha. he got all our emails to send the show out, we’ll see. sounded cool on the headphones he had.

so driving home, adr and i stopped to get food for the first time that day. after that…i got pulled over. fucking ohio. 80 in a 65, it’ll be 90$ unless i feel like driving back down there for court. which i won’t because i’ll probably get another ticket if i do haha.

too much driving.

wednesday, my 26th birthday, was columbus. i was still irritated from the day before, and from the ticket, i didn’t even want to go anymore. but i did. and yahoo directions are wrong, it doesn’t take 4 hrs and 46 minutes to get to the venue it takes 5.5 hours. we didn’t get there til 4:30. blah. met up with everyone, and i got a nice homemade nin birthday card haha. it was cute. pit tickets again, and this time there were alot of pit people in a very small pit area. we were like, wtf we’re so not all gonna fit in here. i decided to stay in the back of the pit cuz i just didn’t feel like dealing with anyone annoying up front. peter murphy played diva again, and decided he didn’t want to sing the “saxophone” song, whatever it’s really called haha.

nin changed up the set a bit. the frail/the wretched replaced something i can never have, which was nice. bored with that song. no even deeper this time. songs got juggled at the end and i thought they were going to leave out hurt for my birthday but sadly no. however, we did finally get “get down make love” which was fantastic. and i almost got a tambourine again. hahah bounced off my hand, flipped behind me into the seats, bounced off this other girl, and to the ground. some guy ran and grabbed it. band sounded great again. aaron growls during get down make love haha. it’s nice.

one more show, tomorrow, pittsburg. we have seats so not leaving here til around 2. no need to sit in line and be annoyed. i’m very much looking forward to this all being over. the shows have been great, it’s everything else that has sucked. the whole atmosphere is different this time around. the fall and winter tours were so much better, so much more chill. so there were people you might have thought were annoying, but they weren’t pulling stupid shit all the time and starting fights and stuff. it just hasn’t been fun. i think detroit was the best, because we didn’t have to go sit at the venue all day long. trent said in toronto they’d be taking a few months off to finish a new record and then coming back. very much looking forward to a break.

and looking forward to monday when i don’t have fuck all to do. we didn’t get home til 5am from columbus, having to drive 70 all the damn way home. i had to take my car to get tires and inspected at 10, went back to bed. i told them i needed it done by 2:30 so i could meet someone at the terminal at 3. that didn’t happen. it had one tire on at 2:30. didn’t get done til 10 after 3, and he said, i hope you know you need it inspected. and i said YEAH thats why i’m here! so then that took even longer, and i didn’t get to the terminal til 4. thankfully mark was able to meet the girl there for me, and they were gone by the time i got there. i need to get my dry cleaning, and my mom wants me for dinner still i think, and i have to go to work tonight. i’ll have to sign to get out early again cuz i just need some time by myself to do fucking nothing. gah!
