To combat scalpers and Ticketmaster they are doing an physical sale only and a limit of 4 tickets per person. On the site, which is currently crashing after the announcement of the tour and new album, they say something like "Buying tickets online has always sucked, so we are trying something new that will probably suck in a different way. You will need to interact with other people to get your ticket and wait in line with other like minded fans, probably all wearing black. NIN has always been about bringing people together and making them happy.**"

I did something like this at a Thom Yorke show a couple of months ago. You could purchase up to four tickets but had to pick them up in person and show ID and credit card of purchase. The venue held less that 3000 people, but waiting in line with 3000 people is a pain in the ass. However, I didn't have to scalp and the seats were less than $60.

Good show, softy?

I went to Mastodon/Primus on Sunday. The highlight of the show was the funnel cake I got.

At least someone is living life right. Thanks for taking one for the team, buff.

Wait, Mastodon and Primus but the funnel cake was the highlight? Have you already moved into Pag's zip code?

They both lean a little far down the jam band spectrum for my tastes - but it was a fine show and they are very talented. "Roots Remain" by Mastodon was great.

Was hoping for more info about the funnel cake. Did you ascertain any preparation secrets?

The secret is to not eat one for like 25 years and then it's like beginning anew. Easily the best life experience I've had in months.

I love Yorke's stuff with or without his mates, but we went at the request of my 17 year old. His solo gigs are electronic heavy. If you get the opportunity to see him, I recommend. I was not disappointed.
Here's a shot of the venue. They serve martinis.

Nice. Has Yorke's falsetto diminished with age?
