NIN/JA Tour Diary 2- Chula Vista ~ Banged Up and Blown Away, and HRC Finally Meets Trent Reznor

Date
May 17, 2009
HRC loves NINMy Musical Adventures#jane's addiction#nine inch nails#street sweeper social club

It’s kinda long….but here are some before and afters videos of me talking, with SSSC, NIN, and JA footage in the middle. Photos are below.

And, I got to meet Trent in the strangest way possible- he snuck up behind me waiting to get on the same flight as me to LV using the NIN:Access app! I was posting something, and a message came through from him saying “I’m right behind you”. And I was totally confused, and was trying to figure out, when I turned around and there was Trent Reznor himself standing there with iPhone in hand, accompanied by Mariqueen and Bretty B. I’m sure the look on my face was priceless. I think I said something like “you scared me to death”- and they were laughing. He stuck out his hand, which I gladly shook, and he said, “this thing works pretty good, huh?”. Hell yeah it does! He showed me his phone and said “is that you” or something, and I said yes. Then I told him what an amazing show last night’s set was, thank you, and happy birthday…..which is pretty much everything I would want to say to my biggest idol ever! I did not get a picture as they were boarding the plane and I was in shock, but it was a pretty cool moment for me. I passed up their row on the plane and sat way in the back to respect their privacy.

    MUAAHAHA! That is so sweet. You just got App-Stalked by T.R himself! Muaa! Priceless. Man, that must have been a sight to behold.

    When I overthrow all world governments and establish my Reich, Trent is SO in charge of my counter-intelligence Gestapo. This guy literally has millions of spies worldwide now. Though he'd probably turn against me, subversive-minded free-spirit that he is.

    This is such a cool story. Thanks for sharing HRC. BTW, you going to the Shoreline show?
