Depeche Mode last night was AMAZING. TINY venue--I got there less than an hour early and was standing only five rows back. I could see their faces. It was SO cool. The sound was great, Dave Gahan was better, and everyone was singing along. It completely made up for the crappiness of the Jones Beach show (freezing weather, dissipating.outdoor

taking Amtrak to Tampa the next morning, seeing PIG that night, then flying back to NYC first thing in the morning

Aw, too bad - I was going to suggest we get together for coffee, but you're scheduled out. :)

[rusty_halo]

You're in Tampa? Damn, I'm clueless.

Well, my train gets into Tampa at about 2:30pm, so I'll have time to kill before the show that night. I'd love to get together for coffee if you're going to be around.

My hotel is Don Vicente De Ybor (1915 Avenida Rep de Cuba) which is about a half mile from the club, Empire (1902 E 7th Ave).

You're in Tampa?

Close by, yeah. :)

I'll see what the schedule is. :) I'd love to.

Awesome. Let me know. :)

Your life isn't insane at all - I was doing the exact same thing at your age for different bands, although driving more than flying.

Enjoy it, every second. One day you're going to look back on this time and these things you're doing and wish you could do them again!

I love that you're so dedicated to the music, if had the balls I'd do it too. Where did you see DM this time?
I'm not going to PIG. I thought they changed the date, so I bought NIN tickets, and then I went to PIG's site and it is the same date. Bleh.

[rusty_halo]

Ahhh, no! Come on, sell your NIN ticket. How can you miss the first PIG tour in 10 years???? NIN tours all the time! :*(

Saw Depeche Mode in Atlantic City. Totally awesome. And Alice in Chains last night. Insane. Are you going to see Slick Idiot on Saturday at Albion? I'll be there, too. (*getting tired....*)

[aea]

It's okay, really. He'll be back. How can he ever top the time I saw him open for KMFDM? Quiet, I'm trying to make myself feel better.
I loved your review of AiC.
I don't know Slick Idiot.

[rusty_halo]

Slick Idiot = En Esch's new band. I've heard they play some KMFDM songs.

Awwww. So sad that you're missing PIG! You could go see them in New Haven, the Metro North goes there... (yeah, I'm reaching). :(
