Kilted at Nine Inch Nails concert

[Kilted KT]

Tonight I'll be at the Nine Inch Nails Concert w/ my Survival UK! I'll try to get some pics with my cell phone camera and post them tomorrow.

eitherway, it will be a great time!

So how'd it go? I'm sure no one batted an eye at somebody in a kilt at a NIN concert. I caught the Downward Spiral tour YEARS ago and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Marilyn Manson opened, followed by Jim Rose's Circus of Freaks.

The concert was AWESOME! Better than the downward spiral tour, I was there as well.

unfortunatly, due to the extremely.....hmmm...volotile environment, there were very little opportinuties for pics of anything less than 6ft off the ground, so pics of the UK Survival I had on were not possible at the show.
Otherwise it was great. Was about 10 ft from center stage.

I do have these points of advice for anyone going to a concert where there is a very active general admission section without chairs in front of the stage.

1. DO NOT GO REGIMENTAL. Almost immediatly after joining the crowd in front of the stage, several unauthorized ( and most unwanted ) kilts checks occured before I was able to keep things under control. Luckily I wasn't regimental.

2. Do not wear a traditional kilt. It will be destroyed. My UK survival stood up to the test...barely.

3. DO try to crowd surf ( provided you are not regimental ). Just make sure you have a good, strong crowd to surf on, otherwise you will wind up on your face on the floor. I managed to ride the crowd for a grand total of 5 seconds, before they were no longer able to support my weight ( something like 230lbs). It was definitly good fun. Do not attempt regimental at any cost.

Oh, I've been kilted and regimental at a concert with Dope, Motograter, and a bunch of other similar bands. Wasnt really a problem, you just have to not care about the kilt checks, or be faster and hit harder than everyone else.

not go regimental?!?!?!? you are no fun!!!

[Kilted KT]

while normally regimental, considering the density of the pit, I figured crowd surfing regimental may be a bad idea. Last thing I need is someone getting over-zealous and grabbing hard in the wrong place...

[TimC]

Dude, crowd surfing while regimental might have gotten you a cameo in the live video!

[Kilted KT]

well, while surfing I did manage to stand at fill height on the crowd for a few good seconds, and there were a ton of cameras there. If I find any video of me on the crowd, I'll definitly post it.

When NIN came to Vancouver last September, I wore my Stillwater HEavy weight and saw at least two UK at the Concert.
