The local radio station here is giving away a once in a lifetime opportunity.... a chance to have a 'meet and eat dinner with Trent Reznor'. HOLY CRAP!! You pre-register, your name gets put on a list. You show up to this bar the night before the concert, they verify your name on that first list and if you're on it, then you get put into the actual drawing... so basically you have to sign up and SHOW up to be in the drawing (so i'm also hoping most people dont notice that part). They'll also be giving away backstage passes and such in this drawing too.
I cant believe it, how exciting! I've been listening to NIN for a loooooong time (think PHM time era) and I'll be competing against my parents and my BF for this dinner. DJ thinks only one person is allowed at the dinner, you're not able to bring BF/GF or anything like that, so that would certainly suck.... but damn. Dinner with Trent F'ing Reznor. How delicious.
Edited to add: the drawing is on the Tuesday, 2 days before thanksgiving.

GL, Hopefully he doesn't have you for dinner, that guy is 9 packs short of a carton if you know what I'm saying.

I have a feeling he eats rare steak, with his hands.

If you win it be sure to get me a few samples from him. Saliva, sweat, urine, stool... the usual.

I dont understand how he does it. Basically dinner is right before the concert... so I'm guessing he'll have soundcheck in the afternoon, dinner with the fan, and then concert? seems like such a full day.

If you win, I'm gonna have to kill you and take your spot.
For serial though, from what I've seen, Trent seems like a very nice, modest guy who would be great to hang around with. He doesn't seem to have the typical "rock star ego" either. Would love to talk to him, and hope to before I (or he) die(s)

based on the logistics of time and the comment that the DJ made it sounds to me as though you're gonna be stuck hand-feeding trent meatloaf in between songs.
GOOD LUCK!!! :D

Wow. I wish you you luck. I wish I could meet Trent Reznor. He is a very creative singer/song writer.

Ask him his opinion on Rock Band, and if he would be willing to get more songs on there.

Fingers crossed for you, Daes. Sounds like you'd be the one to appreciate this chance the most.

Good luck, I hope you win the chance of eating dinner with Trent Reznor.(Considering your posts here and your obvious love of Nine Inch Nails).

There was a story posted on rockband.com earlier this year about how Trent plays Rock band :)
Thanks by the way guys! I dont know who would be better suited for it, me or my parents (who originally got me into NIN at the age of 9-ish).
Edited to add: I am still really amazed that they were able to get this opportunity with Trent. Like thinking upon it... its an amazing once in a life time opportunity. How many people can say "yeah, I've had dinner with Trent Reznor". If I (or someone in my family) does not win, I will be sorely jealous of the winner and will probably make a voodoo doll of them :P

I know he likes it (he even plays expert guitar), but I'd like to have a quote from him about it :)
And then tell him to try and get Downward Spiral on Rock Band. Would work great, save for "A warm place"

Well, seeing as the drawing is on Tuesday night, and wednesday night is the concert, if i win, i'll be here to tell you guys and have plenty of brainstorming ideas :)

But dont forget, hes not a demi-god. Trent is just a person. You know? Just a person who got lucky with his skill.

Dont upset him though. He's bat**** crazy:P But yea itd be pretty cool. I saw some of him at Lollapalooza this year but i left his set midway to see Kanye West and was not dissapointed. I was so far back for NIN it was boring where i was (my friend on the other hand. very front again the barrier and said it was the best show of all lolla aside from rage the night earlier) I did see him play march of the pigs and Head like a hole though

Good Luck to you. If you do have to feed him remind him not to bite the "Hand That Feeds" :p

To some people, like me, he is a demi-god. I'm allowed to believe in who I want :P
I wish ya luck. I'd think it be cool meeting Trent. Convince him to get us more NIN for Rock Band.

You are. But im just saying. I bet Trent hasnt had a stranger walk up to him in a long time and be like "sup fool, wanna play some wii sports."
You know. Maybe if you did that, hed be like "this girl is sweet, ima take her to my place, and we can chill"
Or something...you know?
Dont forget, celebrities were once people too.

I am a loser :( I didnt win anything. You guys surely did not wish hard enough for me. LOL. They actually gave away 8 meet-n-eats, not 1, and there were approximately 200 people there. *sigh* Oh well. I'll still be rockin out in the crowd tomorrow night to NIN.

Try showing up anyway, and see what they say. :)

I wouldnt know where or when the dinner would be, so that'd be kinda impossible :/

That's too bad, sorry Daes.
Though you could bring your own dinner and throw it at him during the concert!
FallenAce

That does suck.
When I went to the NIN concert in Lexington earlier this year, I couldn't get close enough to the stage for the greatest thing that would have ever happened to me: Trent Reznor threw out two tambourines into the audience.
Can you imagine the power in those tambourines? We use a tambourine when we play Rock Band right now. I think if I just showed my Xbox one of those tambourines, it'd probably just give me a 100%, wouldn't it?
I know it's an obvious thing to say you should try to get as close as possible, but you should also try to gauge the trajectory of a tambourine which has attained escape velocity and stand right there.
