my moral standing is lying down

Went to the Nine Inch Nails concert tonight. Got home about 1/2 hour ago. It was actually really good, even though I wasn't all that familiar with most of the set list. But the staples were so worth it: Head Like a Hole, Closer, Hurt, there were others though I can't quite remember them right now. That new one that's being played on the radio now.

The opening band was actually really awesome -- The Dresden Dolls. Liz got a CD sample of their music signed by them. They're a two-person band. Girl on the keyboard, vocals. Guy on the drums, guitar. I need to go buy their album. =D

The floor was packed! Once NIN started, I decided not to stay in the very front as I wasn't quite up to not breathing tonight. I slowly worked my way back. I ended up staying toward the middle-right, on the outskirts of a mosh pit. It was actually lotsa fun; I enjoyed bouncing around back and forth. Even the one time I got pushed down on the floor didn't bother me so much; I got up with a grin. LOL. There were some people nice enough to help me up -- two people offered a hand, and one was trying to pull me up by the hoodie wrapped around my waist from the other side of me. (Not only pushed down, but drawn and quartered as well!) My left foot totally aches (I know it got twisted a bit when I went down), and I think I have a bruise forming on the left side of my left knee -- from what I don't know. And my shoulders hurt. That area where the pit kept forming was really crazy and fun.

Liz, Juliet, Alex (from Boston) and I got separated pretty quickly. But I bumped into Alex a couple of times in the middle of the floor, which was kinda fun(ny). I never saw Liz or Juliet, but after the show we eventually found each other. Liz was completely soaked! She'd actually stayed there in the front the whole time. x_x; Poor Juliet -- it was her first concert. She was kinda scared, but had fun too. Poor Alex -- he had to go to Port Authority to catch a bus home right after the concert since he didn't have a place to stay overnight this time. =(

Oh yeah, I got a NIN tour shirt. Go me.
