August 23, 2008 Meathead's Lights In The Sky Tour Companion and Fun Book Hey, what's happening? I've been really busy this month doing some stuff that I don't remember anymore, but I've managed to put aside some time to work on something for your favorite band, Nine Inch Nails. They used to be my favorite band, too, but then I found out that Candlebox is back together and putting out more smash hit songs, so, well, you know. But NIN is still okay I guess.I'm pretty sure they're touring right about now, and the other night I awoke suddenly in the night, filled with terror at the thought that you NIN fans are going to these concerts without some stupid pieces of paper held together by a few flimsy, ill-placed staples. I think there was an official tour book back when they were touring for that one album with the flowers and shit on it, back when they were also hawking $40 "military shorts" and a laminated ticket holder that people with severe brain damage were prone to mistake for a backstage pass. Wow, 2000 was a wacky year. Unfortunately, they haven't been doing the tour book thing lately, so people are forced to endure the show without anything to read. Thankfully, I exist (for now), so I took it upon myself to sloppily throw together some "fun" into the closest thing you will ever have to a Lights In The Sky tour book. Sadly, I don't have the means, funds, or attention span to actually publish it in a physical form, so I'm making you do that part yourself. But all the rest of it is taken care of. Well, except for downloading it. You have to do that too. OH MY GOD YOUR LIFE IS SO HARD. Here's how to do it: 1. Download the torrent. If you don't know how to use torrents, 2. Open the .pdf file. I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume you can handle that on your own. 3. Print the file onto a physical medium. I generally use paper, but some prefer more exotic materials, such as fine linen or Corinthian leather. Those people are assholes. Just use paper. Meathead's Lights In The Sky Tour Companion and Fun Book is intended to be printed double-sided. Because of this, the second page of the document is intentionally blank. Please don't email me and complain that you can't read Page 2 and that I'm stupid and need to fix it by the end of the day. Don't even do it ironically. I will seriously fuck you up. 4. Fasten the pages together with staples, tape, glue, or whatever best suits your paper-binding needs. If possible, try to keep the pages in order. There aren't that many of them. Congratulations, now you are the proud owner of your own personal copy of Meathead's Lights In The Sky Tour Companion and Fun Book! Now you can have something resembling fun to do when Trent wheels out his tricked-out xylophone and starts playing that silly dinky-dinky music in the middle of the show. I really hope you enjoy it. If not, hey, it's free! Your friend, Meathead
