re: #17 Kid A

So did I at a club in Houston called Numbers. The place is a Houston legend; has hosted so many acts before they made it big. I think the gig I saw was a warmup act for the first Lollapalooza tour. The cost was $12 (!!!!!!!!), and I still remember it like it was last night.

I remember that show. I was working at a local radio station in Houston at the time which will remain nameless, and some of my co-workers went to that gig. I had never, ever cursed a job so much as I did that night.

OTOH, I saw NIN & Bowie here in Austin that same year. And last year I got to see them do an Austin City Limits taping. This was my view of the stage:

I’ve been such a fan of NIN for ages. Trent’s awesome.
