Last night I went to see NIN at the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ! My friend Rob is part of the NIN fan club, so his pass gave us early access to the venue and the potential for a meet-and-greet with Trent. I was really excited for the opportunity to see Trent face-to-face, I was hoping he would see me and say "Hey! You're that dork from my IMDB photo!"

Unfortunately, we didn't get a meet-and-greet but the concert still kicked ass. Trent is all buff now and cut his hair short so he looks like Jack from Lost. The light and video show was impressive. This mesh drops down in front of the band... It looks like a security gate from a store at the mall, but lined with LEDs, so it becomes a giant video screen. It only ran during specific songs and you could still see the band behind it. The effect was intense, especially when combined with the video screens in the backdrop to look like burning embers everywhere on stage.

I happened to be wearing my Newgrounds t-shirt and had ONE spotting from a Newgrounds fan. So if you are that guy who came up and asked me if I was Tom Fulp, THANK YOU for making my night! He was a Firth fan, too.

So anyway... The concert really brought back how much I loved NIN and how much I still love NIN. It was also crawling with PETA petitions, so I'll take the opportunity to give another plug to Trent's PETA campaign. You might have your own opinions about PETA, but I'm hoping you'll agree with Trent's stance on the China cat and dog fur trade.

Sounds really cool :D

haha awesome!

SWEET...i love NIN. sucks u didnt get to meet them though.

Cool, i love the nine inch nails. They rock.

First Post?

Nine Inch Nails, I heard about them a lot and how good people say they are. I should give them another listen to. Nice to see you enjoy yourself last night and I wonder who was that NG fan there.

That picture just screams "my backpack is full of gummi bears"

All that sounds really cool, but I wonder why you put it under NG News when you could have just made the topic in General forum.

You lucky bastard. Tom how did you get so lucky when you made Newgrounds. Oh and who was the fan.

sounds fun

Because I can. :)

Sounds Pretty Cool, would've been great to see Nine Inch Nails

I haven't listened to Nine Inch Nails in a long time. I need to find a couple of their albums.

That is what I was going to say but they wouldn't let me for some reason. It kept saying I was double posting.

Nice, so that's who Trent is eh? I wondered who the hell he was when you posted that topic about the PETA campaign ^_^

Never really heard NIN, but whatever :) So do you really wear the NG t-shirt everywhere? Awesome :D:D

Well, actually, despite being anti-furfarming, I believe that cats and dogs are highly unsustainable, and using them to make fur would be allright.

He didn't know the fan. Thats why in his post he said "So if you are that guy who came up and asked me if I was Tom Fulp, THANK YOU for making my night!" And about Tom making Newgrounds, I suggest you Read up.

Anyway, that's awesome! It's pretty cool that you met an NG fan at the concert. You are quite the celebrity, Tom.

That's awesome, Tom. You got to see a good band, and I'm jealous. >:O Anywho, yea.

Cool. A couple of my friends are going to his Toronto stop. I'll have to ask them how hard it rocked on a scale from one to ten.

sounded awesome. youre on imdb aswell, you dork.

You met a firth fan and you didn't run away? Whjat were you thinking?

Sounded good. NIN are a pretty great band. It's a shame not many people realise "Hurt" was originally by them.

Hey, did you also see the Bauhaus? They've been opening for NIN all over the country, and I've heard they've been awesome...some of the people I know who saw them at the NIN concerts said they made NIN a bit of a let down.

I dunno I'm just wondering, I've been a big Bauhaus fan and if you did see them I was wondering what you thought.

Seems to me that you're becoming a real life celebrity. I bet you never dreamed of that when you started Newgrounds.
Won't be long till NG has its own TV show...

That's pretty cool Tom. I'm easily excited though, the fact that you actually have an IMDb page amazed me..even plastic wrap amazes me, like how does it stick so well?! Anyway, yeah..The whole killing animals for fur thing is retarded, atleast the native americans used the animals for fur and food and used every part of the animal. These sickos treat the animals like crap and torture them just for the fur :'(

Only one? I expect more.

Won't most of those hardcore NG users be on NG though?

Oh, about the photo... I'm pretty sure Trent was at the Doom III unveiling because he was supposed to be composing some music for it or something? Is that right?
