Awesome! I'm glad at least one person who's even aware of the existence of ETS made it in! Have a great fucking time, and keep track of the setlist for us if you can.

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

I did not get a golden ticket. But now looking for alternative ways to make it...

[Krazy]

OK- seriously. Is that ticket some type of clear plastic that lets light through? It honestly looks like parts of your hair/face/head made it through for some odd visual effect...

[fragility3.1]

Yeah, I'm having second thoughts @fragility3.1. Is this offer still good (or are you already standing in line having a blast)?

When I told the guy I would be driving up from San Diego to pick up the tickets, he suddenly went silent. Scammers.

First off, regarding food trucks, this was at Made In America on Sunday. Unfortunately, their meat was all-beef products because if they sold anything made from a pig, I would buy it. Also, if I worked there, instead of saying "next, please," I'd yell "STEP RIGHT UP"

(and for the record, I'm pretty certain that this was not there as anything other than coincidence, or at the very least, the workers weren't aware of the connection to that night's headliner)



2. I'm sure it's too late, but if the guy from here reads this before the show starts, please try to record at least something. Even if it's a shitty quality phone recording, if it's of a song they've never played before, we all want to hear/see it.

Waiting at The Troubadour. 20 or so here waiting to get in by showtime. Will update soon.

I want to come try to get in, but I'm afraid it'll be for naught. Any insight based on the atmosphere there?

Call the number and see if you get a recording from the Bureau of Morality.

That URL might take you to some NIN fan slash-fiction though.

and now Piggy added to it.

I figured there wouldn't be any drastic surprises to the show (I know people wanting HM in it's entirety would be disappointed), but I thought considering the date, that they'd at least do the Copy of A/HM songs beginning.

I'm still thinking they might debut Everything at this show, but that would probably be the limit of the surprises. Still wish I was there though.

[TheRealNs1]

i am filled with envious rage.

suprefan, amateur chemist, hope you guys got in.

[LenaMHJBKZ2]

It looks like another Tuesday night at home wishing I was at the Troubadour right now.

[Kyle]

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

Someone has to be trolling setlist.fm.....

[fragility3.1]

"The Perfect Drug" (Live Debut) -- okay, now I know they're just fuckin with us.

[Kyle]

and if they're not trolling it, then somebody better be recording.

[nooneimportant]

Yep, time to take this with a grain of salt although Vevo's Instagram posted a video of them opening with Somewhat Damaged.

[GavinCollins420]

Definitely a troll. Twitter is saying nothing regarding TPD.

[TheRealNs1]

yeah I think perfect drug is a troll

fyi, he seems to be at the show and is tweeting setlist.

[nooneimportant]

Vevo's Twitter is accurately reporting the first four songs. No idea what's happening here.

[TheRealNs1]

he's playing like my dream setlist right now. so much hate.

I've never met so many awesome and bitter NiN fans. All of you who stuck it out were the best company tonight. I swung by because I was only a few bus stops away and it would be a crime not to take my chances. Tried many many times and different ways to get in. But even Ron Jeremy and his 2 friends were rejected and not on the list. Security were nice guys just doing their jobs. But it was still bullshit not letting even a few people in when at least 1/4 of the guest list/VIP people left. It's a tiny venue and few people would leave, so it would not have been that difficult to keep track of. Especially with a no going back in rule. If there were more ETS people from tonight, I was the chick with the green bag.

Anyways, managed to snag a picture of the set from an attendee.

[Discobunny]

So I didn't win the drawing, but as a last ditch effort to see the show I rolled up to the venue with some NIN vinyl, hoping someone would be willing to trade for a plus one. Lo and behold, the universe finally smiled, and this really nice (and shy) chap said I could be his plus one. Just like that. There were guys offering crazy money for a ticket, and this guy would barely let me buy him a beer. True fans of music are really freaking cool. And i had to make him take the vinyl!

I will share all the tambourine slapping details tomorrow, but I have to be at work early. Thank you to my new show friend, and thanks to NIN for such a spectacular experience.
