Around mid-August.

I won't be going to the show either way, no matter how big a fan of NIN I am. I refuse to go to arena concerts featuring big name acts, mostly because of the absolutely out-of-control insanity involved in buying tickets. I'm not playing the game. Nothing is worth that to me. I saw NIN live every time they came here from the first tour all the way through The Fragile. I'm not registering with Ticketmaster, waiting in line or dealing with all the bullshit just to get horseshit seats. I'm done with arena tours forever.

There isn't a band that exists that could get me to deal with that much crap. Besides, smaller venue shows are always so much cooler.

I agree with you about arena concerts. What Is The Point? You sit waaay far away and then you watch the action on a screen. Might as well wait for the dvd and watch it at home.

I saw NIN back in '95. It was Feb, I believe, at the Target Center, with the Jim Rose Circus Show and the Melvins. The Melvins sucks, and I was so pissed that the original 2nd opening act (I think it was supposed to be Pop Will Eat Itself?) cancelled.

But yeah, nosebleed seats. Meh, wouldn't do that again.

Hey, are you going to find out what sex the tyke is? So people can do all sorts of bargain hunting shopping for you in this fine year for garage-saling? Huh?

I was at that show. I loves me some Jim Rose. But wasn't it at Roy Wilkins? I've been to so many of them that I may get the venues to each particular show mixed up.

And I love the Melvins.

The little shitlet will be a boy. He will go unnamed, since

hypoxia and I will never be able to agree on a name. Perhaps we'll just call him "Unnamed." Or maybe just "Skippy."

	Nah, it was DEFINITELY in the Target Center. 'Cuz it's the only time I've been there, and I haven't been to the Roy Wilkins. The Northrup yes, but not the Xcel or Wilkins. Congrats on the boy. I, uh, think Skippy would make a fine name! cough Reminds me of Family Ties, yo. Or Trick or Treat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, maybe we'll name him Skippy Punny Roddy. I think I was thinking about the Roy Wilkins show with Jim Rose and Marilyn Manson as openers. Or was it Jim Rose and Hole? I dunno. They all melt together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Fuck I'm tired. Third time's a charm?

I was at that show, front row mosh pittage. Remember how Trent screamed at the audience, saying that we sucked and that the Melvins were gods? Meh. The show started like 2 hours late and we were hot, mushed up and tired before they even started and PWEI wasn't even fucking there.

I thought it was at RW as well, but I looked it up. It WAS at the TC.

	A-yup. 'Cuz our friend's dad drove us 'cuz he didn't trust us drivin' around by ourselves in the Cities quite yet. Nah, the Melvins sucked, all their songs sounded the same, and I wanted PWEI, dammit! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	They are also headling lollapalooza. I will front and center. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	blueyeddevil 2008-03-29 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Except that Lollapalooza isn't in Minneapolis. And I've never understoof the point of traveling great distances to see a musical act/acts. It's not worth it to me. I'll wait for the DVD. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	drat. I wish it wasn't such a big arena. i guess missing them this time isn't such a big deal--I've seen them a billion times already. when do tix go on sale? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	blueyeddevil 2008-03-29 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Beats me. It was just announced on their website. It hasn't even been promoted yet. Tickets probably won't go on sale until the summer. (Reply to this)(Parent)
