[TekfunK]

Let me preface this by saying that I had no idea the degree of insanity that I was in for when I embarked on my mission to the NIN concert.

We actually got in pretty quick due to finding a shorter line on the side of the building. Once we got in I realized how much fun it was going to be. The place was pretty packed. We quickly moved towards the front weaving in and out of people to get as close as we could. By the time The Dresden Dolls came on we were fairly close to the stage.

The Dresden Dolls put on a good show. They really do feed off of eachother very well and the drummer is amazing. The biggest let down was seeing the beautiful singer raise her arms up to reveal her hairy armpits. It was both disgusting and traumatizing.

After they got off the crowd started getting more and more rowdy with anticipation of seeing Trent Reznor and the rest of the band take the stage. You could feel the anticipation. As soon as NIN took the stage it was a full out wrestling match and fight towards the front of the stage. Needless to say we all got seperated. I have never been in a pit that was that insane. People were passing out left and right due to lack of oxygen and the degree of heat. There wasn't one second that it was still. You were constantly getting pushed back and forth. Everyone in the crowd was trying to get to the front. I was so fucking hot and gasping for oxygen that I didn't know if I was going to make it, but I loved every second of it. I finally got to the very front and it was worth the hour I had to fight to get up there. I tried to stay in the pit the whole time, but due to lack of water, sheer exhaustion and the insane amount of heat that I was feeling at the time, I had to bail and get some water before I passed out. I was drenched from head to toe.

NIN left me in awe and amazement. The energy that they brought upon that place was beyond anything I have ever felt in my life. Trent and the rest of the band seriously shredded the fuck out of that place. I had no idea that a concert could ever be that amazing. I can't even explain in words how amazing this experience was. To those who did not go or missed out because they didn't want to pay $100 - $200 for a ticket, you missed out more than I can even begin to explain. I would have gladly paid $200 to witness what I did last night.
