Kind of Crazy Date Night

Nick and I have been fans of the music of NIN for a very long time - it served us well during the angsty, "no one understands me" teenage years and as adults we appreciate the talent and innovation that goes into Mr. Reznor's production. It is not for everyone, but we enjoy it and Nick has never seen them in concert despite 20 years of being a fan. Until last night! We got to go to the concert and it was great! Granted, we were probably the preppiest people there, but so what?! There were an awful lot of piercings, tattoos and multicolored spiked hairstyles to behold but luckily a lip piercing and shredded clothing was not required for admission. It was a great crowd, actually, with kids as young as 15 and adults into their 50s. Having been around for so long, NIN appeals to many and always manages to be more than current - they stay pretty cutting edge. I would never venture to say it was wholesome fun for the whole family, but it WAS fun and a GREAT show. It is not like we had seats in the mosh pit! ;-)
