    I would imagine that having two extremely young children doesn't make a "standard" tour a real distinct possibility. That's not to say live shows would be out of the question, but a months-long run of the states just doesn't strike me as feasible when BOTH parents are in the band.

    I also have to imagine that money isn't a huge issue. Maybe I'm wrong; I don't know. But Trent strikes me as a pretty business savvy guy, and has probably managed to make sure that he's at least in a financially secure position. Not saying he's likely to be mind-blowingly wealthy, but I would imagine that his latter NIN days (with less gear-destructive live shows) and successful film scores would have been enough to afford him the chance to make/release music without money being a primary concern.

    Don't worry, the kids will be fine. They'll just hire Danny Lohner to babysit

    Isn't the point of Trent's departure from Interscope, self-promotion, formation of "Null Co.", and digital distribution of recent material to make money off of the music itself? Why the multiple price tiers and free 5 song previews if you're trying to hype a tour as an unknown band not sell a product? The HTDA Ep, and both soundtracks were distributed primarily in digital formats without a tour to follow them.
