thats what I saw too Yo... which is why I asked him the other specs.. go ahead and try it with a diesel engine, 4x4, crew cab..

Good point. That price is more around the $24k+ tag.

Kelly Blue Book shows a 2005 Ford F250 with 80k miles should be around $15k.

You work in the music industry or how do you get all the hookups for the backstage/meets?

I wish I did. I just read up on what bands are doing meet and greets and I make sure to show up. I've met around 35 or so bands this way. Not to mention I've seen over 200 bands live. I also own a crap load of music equipment including an electric guitar, bass guitar, pa system, effects pedals, and mics. I'm looking to buy a drum set next month and then I'll have a full band setup for jam sessions. I'm just a music junkie.

Rise against is amazing live, every time.

Yah I saw Rise Against live about 2 years ago. They are very energetic on stage. I also met them that day. Very nice guys. They signed my "The Sufferer & the Witness" CD.

She has a great voice. It sounds like a soft version of Alanis Morissette or Dido to me. I commend her for finger picking her guitar too. It isn't easy.

Speaking of Lola bands. Tool is one of the headliners this year. Maynard from Tool is going to be signing autographs of his new Wine Bottles in Chicago this Friday and Saturday. Yes, a musician turned wine maker.

 

I'm going to the Friday signing. Unlike the NIN signing last weekend, this one is "free." (You only need to buy a bottle of wine @ about $25).

I just got back from this event. Tomorrow is Chicago's last chance to meet Maynard James Keenan. He's ONLY signing wine bottles by the way. I asked him if he could sign my Tool CD and he said "No, sorry buddy, only wine bottles but thanks for coming out and waiting in line." So, I ended up with 2 signed bottles. Oh well, I'll just need to figure out some way to frame and display them. CD booklets are so much easier to frame.

The show was last friday and NIN were amazing live. I must admit I'm a little sad to know this is their last tour because I would love to see them live again.

Just click in the boxes and this site will help you make your own music. It's pretty fun!

just confirmed a trip to chicago june 2-5, so nin is probably not going to happen for me.

No problem.

*Edit* Since no one has expressed interest in the Meet&Greet/Soundcheck, we can close this topic. I guess I'll just be going to the show with my girlfriend.

I sent a PM to SJ, but have not heard back yet.

Is no one interested?

Update: My girlfriend doesn't mind if I take someone else to the show, so as long as you want to do this and have the time, let me know and hopefully we can set this up sometime today or tomorrow.

Hey.... So I have 2 tickets to the Chicago show for Nine Inch Nails this Friday, May 29th, at Charter One Pavilion. I was planning on taking my girlfriend to the show originally. The problem is that she works until 4pm, so she wouldn't be able to make the Meet&Greet. If nobody is interested, I'll just go to the show with my girlfriend and skip the Meet&Greet + Soundcheck. The doors for the show itself don't open until 6:30pm.

This past week NIN posted information about a Meet & Greet plus Soundcheck you can attend prior to the show if you donate $300 to a help some guy get a heart transplant. I've never paid money for a Meet & Greet, but I figured this is for a good cause.

To clear this up: That's $300 for 2 people. $150 each. I'm willing to pay for the full $300 if someone here wants to come with me (concert ticket included). This is unless you want to help pay for half ($150) . This donation does not include the tickets, but I already have 2 tickets paid off so you don't need to worry about that.

Here's the info from the NIN site: http://store.nin.com/helperic/

So.... if you're interested PM me and you NEED to be free in the Chicago area this Friday afternoon. I would like to be at the venue at 4pm since the Soundcheck starts at 4:30pm (They're doing a ONE HOUR soundcheck PLUS a 2 hour set for the Chicago show ONLY). Tuesday night (tomorrow) is the deadline for the Chicago show donations, so post up or PM me asap if you're interested.

Amazing pictures. That must have been one heck of a trip.

Yah... this was an all around bizarre situation. I think the only way this photo shoot would have not caused a panic, was if the government told the media stations about it a week in advance and made a public event about it. That way, people would have known what was going on, etc. In the end, does that guy really need to quit over this? Seems harsh, but on the other hand, that photo shoot cost the country about $328,000 in tax payer's money. We are still in a recession. Couldn't the government find better things to spend that kind of money on?

Paris Hilton is the same way

They also have ones for Lindsey Lohan and my personal favorite - Paralyzed Face Girl (Definitely Going to Hell remix).

hacker!

I don't get it--how is that free?

Free "trial period" today only. It expires at midnight. In addition, you could buy it today for 40% off. If you chose not to, the game will not work on your PC tomorrow.

Voted for Skimmer, but you're down by 40 some votes at the moment.

GJ! It sounds like you got into a good job market.

Not really... If you just keep clicking on the same color (I used Green for example) you will end up with most of the same photos in the end. It just seems that this site used a different photo to represent each and every different shade of every color so in the end you'll end up with 1,000's of pictures making one large picture; however, there is repetition of course when using the same shades.

I LOVED the game Zombie Revenge for the Dreamcast haha. It had the worst translation from a Japanese game to American I have ever seen. And I LOVED that cheezy song they would play during the basically ENTIRE game haha.

Has anyone else beaten this game? I would always play as the crazy shirtless guy who spoke a language no no one could understand haha. Oh and when time was running out.... that was the best lmao. THERE'S NO TIME!

The NY Times isn't the only large newspaper failing. Here in Chicago, both the SunTimes and the right-winged Chicago Tribune are failing as well. The more logical reason is because people don't need to buy a newspaper for the most up-to-date news these days. TV and the internet have pretty much eliminated the need for news printed on paper. Not to mention the revenues lost that once were on the classified ads and now on Craigslist.

Newspapers are a dying breed and we just need to except that. In the end, perhaps a few will survive, but most are no longer needed.

Such beautiful voices under such ugly people.
