cristalia: Okay, so I've pared down my list of concerts to see before I die: NIN and that's next month, the Tragically Hip, and Tom Waits. But Tom'll be hard. He doesn't tour much.
matociquala: He's the endboss.

NIN is my favorite show. I saw in 1990 with Peter Murphy. then with meat beat manifesto and New Year's Eve at the Latin Quarter. Then Lollapalooza I. Then later. Many xs at the Joe. And in Grand Rapids. And at what used to be called Pine Knob with Bauhaus.

Seriously. trent knows what he's doing. Favorite Show Ever, every time. I am going again on the 31st.

(pls excuse text speak. had some wine with dinner)

Hurm, now I wish I had tix for NIN but I'm sure they're sold out.

I've never seen Tom Waits in concert, but green_trilobite and I saw him walking along Queen Street last time he was in town. We'd just seen Mystery Men, so green_trilobite said jokingly, "hey look, it's Tom Waits." I surveyed the guy. He really looked like Waits. Also the guy he was talking to said "see you at the concert tonight." Also my housemate had been talking about going to see Tom Waits in concert that evening. I whispered "I think that *is* Tom Waits."

Afterwards, for a long time, green_trilobite would hopefully say things like "look, it's Vincent d'Onofrio," but it never worked again.
