for 11 years i've wanted to see NiN live. I feel completely and utterly satisfied - that was a fucking awesome concert. got ready with
yodas_ears &
minimo55 and
dribs, and cruised into the venue at 8:30. one of two things that pissed me off was that our tickets said door 16, we were told to go to door 10 to get an orange wristband, then to door 13 to get on there, we get to door ten they tell us back down the stairs and look for the sign that says wristbands, then head to door 6, we get the wristbands and they tell us to head to door 14, we head to door 6, and finally made it down to the dancefloor. the other thing that pissed me off were the security - they were more interested in telling people in the seats to sit down than helping some girl that had fallen over in the mosh. this guy ran up and told one of the bouncers what had happened and the bouncer turned away and kept yelling at the guy standing up on his seat. the guy grabbed him again and said something along the lines of "she's fucking collapsed man!" and was told to fuck off and find another security guard.
we spent most of the time up the back of the dance floor - as everyone was crowding to the front the back raised up and we could see really well! we tried going in the mosh but discovered that there were two moshes and a fucking barrier between them. we couldn't get to the front mosh, and couldn't see shit where we were and some dirty smelly hippy kept jumping and sticking his festy armpit in my face, so back to the back we went, where we stayed dancing for most of the night. best dance i've had forever, trent played all my all-time favourite songs and it was just fantastic! I have NEVER had such an awesome time at a concert!!! Caught up with quite a few people which was awesome!!
And the best bit... we're flying to sydney with in 12hrs to do it all again on Friday night!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
