Chicago: Day One

Chicago was amazing! We got there in good time and we stood in line for about....2 1/2 hours maybe?? I dont know. We payed 20 bucks to park, and later found out that we could have parked for free since they already had charged us for parking on the tickets we bought.
We finally got in and made it in front of the center of the stage, even though it wasn't very close...but its still my favorite spot. Then, I turned and the creepsters from the Fort Wayne show were there and they made a B-Line right for me. luckily, we soon lost them and they didnt get a chance to steal my shit like they tried to do at Fort Wayne. Other people i happened to notice was a guy with argyle pink arm warmers with long hair that was in braided pigtails.

Street Sweeper Social Club went on before eight even, which was nice. They rocked! Tom Morello was very awesome, and I enjoyed watching him. Glad its only the first time I seen him of this weekend and I'll get to see him two more times. Hopefully they play some other songs tonight and tomorrow.

Then Nine Inch Nails came on. The show was awesome. The set list followed as this:

Somewhat Damaged
Terrible Lie
Heresy
March of the Pigs
Piggy
Metal
The Becoming
I'm Afraid of Americans
Burn
Gave Up
The Frail
La Mer
The Fragile
Gone, Still
Underneath it All
Wish
Survivalism
Mr Self Destruct
Suck
The Day The World Went Away
Hurt
Hand That Feeds
Head Like a Hole

We were on the floor for the show, and we tried to get fairly close, but people were being jerks about it. everyone pushed forward, which was expected, but it got really really bad. It was so bad I wasn't able to breathe, and neither could Mark's girlfriend. he almost got into a fight with the guy next to us because we were accidently pushing but that was because of other people were pushing as well, so the guy got a case of the ass. We ended up moving back so we could actually enjoy the show a little better. It went much better back further. Between Suck and The Day The World Went Away, Trent announced how it was the last tour that Nails will be doing, and it was very sad. During Hurt, I bawled like a baby!! I was surprised that it was the only time i really cried on the tours.

We made it back abotu two thirty after almost getting lost in Chicago.

My 3 Day "Vacation"

Tonight is the first of my Nine Inch Nails Adventure. Chicago with Street Sweeper Social Club, Followed by Nails. Then tomorrow, Indy with those two plus Janes Addiction.
