Coliseum!

Right there, in the obvious place! Which is interesting, as I was wondering if that's where it would be. Tickets go on pre-sale on the twelfth to people who use websites.

I've only seen NIN the once, in Providence. At the time, that was a close show. Only a few hours' drive! Now he's basically popping in for a cup of tea. How times change. It was a great time; we all crashed the stage, and the security guards were at a loss.

Fragile tour! Looks like I got the good show. He even looked me in the eye a couple of times. Which was probably because my head was protruding from the crowd like a groundhog. And yeah, he makes a good performance!

Actually, the show I went to was on the verge of bullshit until everyone made bullshitade. There were all sorts of weird safety things going on, that I've never seen anywhere else. And it was just annoying everyone. So everyone just stampeded down from the bleachers onto the floor, which could have been a nightmare but it worked out.

Maybe my venue was after yours?

Oh, right. Forgot about that thing. The second track doesn't want to decompress. I think because it's got some characters that confuse Windows.

Yeah, I have that same problem and don't know how to circumvent it.

But the Deerhunter track is keen!

I poked around for some sort of zip exploration tool, but couldn't figure out how to narrow my search enough.

A Place to Buy Strangers just sounds like Machines of Living Grace. The Crystal Castles one is curious...
