Reflections on Vegas and Beyond

First let me apologize for not resizing my image. I am hot, I am tired, I am hungry, but I still wanted to post a pic. hehe.

Second, Vegas was insanely fun! I spent way too much money but I had a blast. Drinking, smoking cigars, gambling, living it up! I thought the cuppers who are going to go see Nails in less than a week might like to know how amazing the set list will be! I wont ruin anything but I hope you wont be offended by telling you that he did not play a single song off of The Slip! As much as that offended me (what can I say I love it all...lol) I appreciated it even more because it gave him time to play tons of shit off Downward Spiral that I had never heard live, and lots of stuff off of Broken that I had never live, and lots of stuff off of the B-Side singles (Further down the spiral, Things Fall Apart) that I had never heard live. He is going out with bang folks! He announced it was the last tour as NIN so please enjoy. I thought he was brilliant, I was barely drunk at all for a change, and thus I can remember the entire set list in order. Im happy this time I was able to just let go and absorb every second. I owed it to myself, and to Trent.

Third, about my poetry. Too anyone who read any thank you so much for your time. I just wanted to say that I am not satisfied with these poems in one sense, each one sprang out of an assignment that had to be turned in, and not out of my heart. Now I inserted my heart into them, thats why I was so proud and willing to share, but I dont think it accurately reflects my level of skill when it comes to writing. Ive been working on new pieces, and a fiction short story, Id like to share that with everyone even more so than the pieces for my portfolio, now its fun again, ya know? Thanks for the consideration, I will still be looking at these funky little exercise poems in the future so if you get the chance to comment thats cool, but if not thats cool too, Im ready to move on to the next thing. Im glad to be able to share the experience through the blog. Thanks Lorigga for having the good sense to create this blog and thanks to all the rest of you guys for sticking with it. I have more news and exciting goodies for you all but I'll let those surface at the proper time. Until than Im reading all the posts regularly now that Im not in school. Keep em comin'!

Random Info

Yo its late and Im too lazy to include an image but this stuff is important so Ill just post right now.

NIN is going on tour! The presale tix for Oakland go on sale June 12th, the presale tix for L.A. do not yet have a date announced. Yall are lucky! The show is for September. Check it out. Im sure Ill end up at least one of the dates. Most likely L.A. to just to save gas.

In addition. The new NIN album is 100% free. Yes thats right, hes done it again. I downloaded the mp3 file right now and sent links to Syd and Lorenzo. Have fun with that.

Also, Wii is fucking fun! Why didnt yall tell me it was so cool? Go get Mario Kart asap so we can all play wireless. Peace and Good night. Im off to listen to new Nails!

Valve and TF2 love...

I once told Def that I would give Valve my virginity if I could. I still stand by that comment.

Here's an interview with "the Valve dudes" by Leigh Alexander. I'm not sure if I've mentioned before, I like to hit up her blog, sexyvideogameland, every now and again because, well, she puts a lot of thought into her articles. They always seem to contemplate what it means to be actively engaging in a virtual world. To add, her father was a games journalist and she's kind of carrying up the tradition. But I digress...

According to the article posted on Gamasutra and what makes me turn all rosy lipped is just how aware Valve is of what they're doing and how they're propelling the PC game industry forward. They're coming up with new business models and content distribution models. They're fully aware that some would say PC gaming is dead...but they're not backing down. I heart them.

Hey...wait a minute, didn't I just gush over NIN's involvement with propelling the music industry? And wait, Valve totally had me in HS with Half-Life...NIN had me with Downward Spiral...man, we were all just cool kids who knew who to support!

And to make this the biggest baddest Valve orgy session I must add the following (and latest as of this post) VGcats comic:

New NIN misic available on torrent

Get it while it's hot!

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4059158/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_Ghosts_I_(2008)

Excerpt from the site:
"We\\\'re very proud to present a new collection of instrumental music, Ghosts I-IV. Almost two hours of music recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I-IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain."

It would seem only Ghost I is available free for now. But for $5 you can already download it all...I think...someone figure it out.



-----------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE
ArsTechinca, a great tech blog is reporting that NIN have essentially made $750,000 for this album already. That all the special special editions are sold out.
