The Most Horrific NIN-Related Nightmare I've Ever Had...

Straight up, y'all.

So the other night, I dreamt that Iris and I were backstage at the Aragon, alone with Trent Reznor.

No, wait...it gets worse.

His new cause du jour was preventing STDs, so he was training Iris and me to administer these injections of vaccinated foam...up NIN fans' vaginas. Then he went out in the hallway to advertise these vaccinations, holding a singing fish in his arms.

That's when I woke up...horrified.

Oh, and by the way, we got our tickets for the last Chicago show, so I guess we can quit our bitching...

Some of You May Be Wondering...

How the Chicago NIN presale went for us.

A Maise and Iris Collaboration:

Perfect little scheme
The kind that screws scalpers
I got online at 5
So did Ro.
No one to blame
Always the same

RELOAD...IT'S FUCKED!

It took time...to make me realize,
It took time...to make me realize,
It took time...to make me realize,
It took time...FUCK, I'll NEVER SEE THIS SITE

Smashed up my monitor
Smashed up my new keyboard
Smashed up my computer desk
Smashed up my love for Trent

Smashed up my Slip CD
Smashed up Downward Spiral too...
Gonna smash the whole collection
I don't know what else I should do

Filled up with hope...got my credit card
Still cannot get to Music Today
Watching the site, thought I was in line,
Now watching it FAIL. the server's in a systematic decline
Oh the fans! Trent, you betray
If he gave me tickets, I'd throw them away
After everything I've spent, my husband asks "Aren't you done yet?"

Smashed up my monitor
Smashed up my new keyboard
Smashed up my computer desk
Smashed up my love for Trent

Smashed up my Slip CD
Smashed up Downward Spiral too...
Gonna smash the whole collection
I don't know what else I should do

I tried...
And I gave up
Ro tried...
And she gave up
Iris tried...
And she gave up...
We tried...
AND WE GAVE UP!!!!!

Smashed up my monitor
Smashed up my new keyboard
Smashed up my computer desk
Smashed up my love for Trent

Smashed up my Slip CD
Smashed up Downward Spiral too...
Gonna smash the whole collection
I don't know what else I should do

Throw the tix away!
Throw them AWAY!!!!!

RIP Eric De La Cruz

Rest in peace, Eric. We know you're in a place with no pain, illness, or sorrow. We didn't know you, of course, but we were touched and amazed by the ferocity and love and devotion your family displayed as they fought for your life. We would like to thank you for waking people up to the dire state of health care in the U.S. It's a uniquely American tragedy, isn't it? The way that a country with so much--more than enough for everyone--allows so many to go without. But we also thank you for inspiring people to give a little to someone in need.

Here's to your life and to keeping up the fight for change!
