So my hubby and I went to the Nine Inch Nails concert on 10/19 - the day of game 6 in the Astros/Cards NLCS. Needless to say, we were quite torn. But hey, we bought the tickets and paid our money, so off we went to the Toyota Center.
After milling around and checking out the (not so stellar) opening band we decided to try to find a TV. And we did. We proceded to watch the Astros kick Redbird booty surrounded by fishnet clad goths - all of whom were screaming their heads off. And not just one kind of goth, but many flavors. We had catholic schoolgirl goths*, raver goths, old-school goths, punk-rock goths and industro- goths**. The ringleader of all the screaming was a classic - tall skinny dude with a plain black t-shirt over fishnet, black leather wrist cuffs, ringed collar, tight black bondage pants, black shit-kickers, heavy eye make-up and dyed, spiked black hair.
His favorite chant was, "Fuck the Redbirds!"
I have never seen a group of goths that animated about anything. Including front row seats at a NIN concert (which I had the privledge of obtaining twice in my life). Pretty freaking amazing.
But don't worry, hubby and I left the bar in time to see Trent. Mmmmm... Trent.
*Bible toting goths? What the fuck?!?
** Yah gotta wait for the second and third picture to come up on the slideshow to see the examples of indstro-goths. Sorry about that.

And you didn't get me a t-shirt?!!!!
I saw Trent back for the Pretty Hate Machine tour. 19-effing-90. I'm old skool, dewd.
My first Trent was in 1995 - Feb 14th. Front row center, baby! I'm as old skool as I can get, given my age. If I were an old fart like some people I know (hi lizard!) I would be able to say that I saw NIN before they got famous.
But I'm not that old.
