i just got home from austin from the show.... and i must say... goddamn! i had a blast! i *heart* nin! i got to austin at 6 and waited in line for about 45 or so minutes, got in, got a bbq sandwich, met up with a friend and then watched the dresden dolls. not bad. i had never heard of them before and i found them quite interesting. there was one song in particular that i really enjoyed, but now i have no idea what it was.
then, during set change, i darted closer to the front. not all the way to the front, but not too bad. i got center stage and was as far forward as the upstairs patio of the building. not too shabby. but goddamn was it hot! i have to admit that i did get a little nervous when they finally started with pinion and everyone started pushing and getting riled up.
i got so fucking into it!!!!!!! i had a grand ol time! i got quite the workout while being close. i lasted almost an hour before i started feeling woozy from the heat, so i had to go sit down for a while an be chill. i was fucking DRENCHED with sweat!
but the songs! oh the songs! he played (in no particular order):
pinion
terrible lie
something i can never have
wish
burn
sin
closer
march of the pigs
reptile
starfuckers
hurt
the hand that feeds
head like a hole
and shit - there were more, but i cant remember what else right now... im kind of sleepy. but goddamn it was so fucking awesome. i had a swell time. until the end. he just ended... no encore, nothing! wtf? the crowd was not too pleased about that, but oh well. at least it was a great concert and a nifty neat small venue (of which i had never been to before).
all in all, i give this concert a:
