NIN + Vegas = Awesome



Booked my flights and hotel and got my tickets for NIN's last show of the year in Sin City aka Las Vegas! Suggestions for things to do and places to see are very welcome.

It'll also be drummer Josh Freese's last show with NIN. Out of all the drummers NIN has had, he is easily my favorite. There's gonna be some tough shoes to fill for the next drummer.

Trent says he's got some new tricks up his sleeve for this leg of the tour. We know what the stage setup will be, so the only new surprises will come in the form of new songs. Having the oppotunity to also see them in Victoria the week before Vegas can only help my chances of hearing new songs. Here's my wishlist of songs I've yet to hear live (that they have played live before, except for the last song):

- Getting Smaller
- God Given
- Vessel
- We're In This Together
- The Fragile
- The Perfect Drug (The Holy Grail of NIN songs never played live, heads would explode!)

It should be the show to end all shows. And Hopefully I can get Ron drunk enough to marry some random floozy. I just have one word for him: prenup!
