Ugh, same here! When they go on stage I completely forget everything that happens before the show— all of the traveling, all of the stupid line drama— and I’m completely immersed in the show. But once it’s over, all of that garbage comes flooding back and I forget the fun details.. I suppose that’s why I’m into gathering photos and videos from concerts I’ve been to.

My first show was on the with teeth tour. I was a casual fan and member of the spiral for the merch and online community, but for some reason I didn’t have the urge to see them live— I was satisfied with the choppy live streams and video updates. But one of my friends wanted to go to the amphitheater show and wanted to get lawn tix. I didn’t feel like sitting on the mushy lawn, so I got closer seats through the Spiral. I remember falling in love with the live performance of Help Me I’m in Hell+Non-Entity. I had seen the televised performance before seeing it live, but it was sooo much better in person. In that moment, I wish I could have gone back to all of the previous shows I had passed up. I knew this wouldn’t be my last. And I remember my hands being super sticky from spilling frozen lemonade all over myself.

I also remember hooking up with said friend/ticket buddy after the show and screwing up my relationship at the time. But at least my appreciation for NIN is still going strong— one good choice from that day. Oof— I’m cringing at how shitty I was then. It really wasn’t that long ago, but it feels like a lifetime away.
