nin postponed, dustin weeps
I was almost all set. I had the tickets, but no playdate. One thing led to another, and I forgot to ask around for someone to join me. But I was dedicated. Dude, its NIN. Worst case, I would be scalping selling as a moderate markup my spare ticket there at the venue. I knew folks who were going, so I’d hang with them.
I emailed “kj”, asking about a set of batteries (Sanyo Eneloops). I jokingly responded that he should come down from the great white north, and join me for the concert. That’s when he dropped the bomb that, had I not known sooner, would have changed my Saturday:
NIN Minneapolis show at Target Center postponed to November 25th
from NIN Official News & Photo UpdatesWe regret to announce that due to illness, the Minneapolis show originally scheduled for Saturday, August 2nd at the Target Center has been postponed due to illness. The band is sincerely sorry for the last minute announcement, but after receiving doctor’s orders not to perform, Trent has reluctantly agreed to the postponement.
The concert is being rescheduled for Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at Target Center. All tickets purchased for the August 2nd concert will be honored on the new date. For those unable to attend the rescheduled date of November 25th, a refund will be available at original point of purchase.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Shit. Okay granted, I now have time to find my playdate. But still…. I was stoked. I was so ready. I missed them last time they came through. Saw them in 99 back in Chicago, and they blew my mind. They took the place of Garth Brooks for my top concert, and that was before NIN moved to the top of my artist list (right next to Frank).
So if you were going, let me know. If you wanna go, I might have a spare ticket…. for a Tuesday show… 
(more dd stuff, and finally Kolacky Days, coming this weekend. I promise! I now have some extra time)
