I remember reading about walking down the aisle to NIN! Don’t know if Grandma would have stood for it, but still thought it was a cool idea!

Texan, I knew you’d like this post. Responses:

1 - I’ll yield to your memory that it was at Jimmie’s but I could have sworn it was Howlin’ Wolf.
2 - I bandied around on the times. I think you might have heard about it at noon but it didn’t trickle down to me until later.
3 - Word. That rain was so, SO insane.
4 - TOTALLY forgot about them!
5 - True, but “Orlando” is more recognizeable than “Volusia County Fairgrounds in DeLand.” Much like people refer to southern CA as “LA.”
6 - I still get scared of falling asleep at the wheel because of you.
7 - Anyone who read my blog in early January already knows that.

Ahh, one of the best nights of my life!!! I recently found a video on the pirate bay of this very concert. Who else can say they saw NIN perform in front of only 700 people?

A couple of things to note:
1 - the show was at Jimmie’s on Oak St, not the Howlin’ Wolf.
2 - the announcement that it was NIN was at noon on that day.
3 - i think torrential downpour is an understatement.
4 - you failed to mention the couple next to us that was beyond wasted the entire night and kept writing all over each other and sometimes us.
5 - the zen festival was in Volusia County near Daytona.
6 - I still have problems falling asleep at the wheel after that drive back on the Turnpike from Zen Fest.
7 - I walked down the aisle at my wedding to the tunes of NIN.
