Oy... Can I please sit still? I think we've been running non-stop for the past month!! Road tripping, a birthday, a party and even though we didn't do a thing this past weekend we did drive to Greensboro for a concert on Monday. Monday night Nine Inch Nails played at the Greensboro Coliseum... I was a little wary and a little excited. I couldn't tell you what they played but I can tell you it was pretty freakin awesome. The sound, (no, not noise) the bass pulsating through your bones, reverberating in your chest, the ridiculous effects on the multiple transparent screens... I can't even do it justice. Like in this video that Eron took - where static parts is actually where Trent is on stage. The screens can sense where he is in relation to the screen and responds appropriately. This article actually explains it in greater detail.This was actually the first concert I've been to since Counting Crows & John Mayer (yikes). I'll tell ya what, the crowds are just a little different and I haven't been to a concert with this much energy since the HFStival in high school. I miss that teenage inhibition. The moshing, the jumping, the crowd surfing - though concrete floors are not as friendly as grass fields. I did get a huge chuckle out of all the head bobbing and the guy who threw the sign for "I love you" rather then the "rock out" sign. Gotta tuck that thumb, Buddy. I'm a big fan being in the crowd during a concert. Not even Jumping Buddy-Boy, Mr. and Miss. Inappropriate, Captain Behemoth or the couple I yelled at because they kept backing in to me regardless of the fact that I had my hand solidly in the guy's back letting him know I was there so I resorted to using my knuckle because he just wasn't getting the point... could ruin the night :) But hey, at least didn’t grab a guy by the collar and yell at him until security came and got him.
Is it Friday yet? Night kiddies.
