Am I looking too much into it or does that "2013" font look oddly familiar to a type used in Fragility promos?

Goose bumps and hairs standing on end, especially the world tour 2014 bit.
I'm really curious to see what Trent means when he says that NIN has been "reinvented".
Splendid news about the tour. At least I will have the rest of 2013 to save enough money to see them (hopefully) in the UK in 2014.
I get what you're saying, but...
he's touring with a 60+ year old (living legend!) guitarist, two very talented synth programmers, and a young, mega-talented drummer/multi-instrumentalist. something tells me this isn't going to resemble old NIN at all. We saw the last of old NIN. Long live the New Flesh.
EDIT: and oh yeah, one of the most influential bassists of the last 30 years. (its telling that something THAT big could still be an oversight for me!)

those guys are hacks compared to this lineup... srsly.
Never - it still felt like the end of an era. I think we all knew deep down that he would get cabin fever eventually and get back out one day. Who knows how he will 1) revamp known songs, 2)revamp the visuals, and 3)maybe have an album or two's material that he'll release and perform.
Now the fangirls get their Alessandro too :P
Yes the excellent lineup is the driving factor behind this, just the fact that it is 6 people on stage is going to be pretty different, should be interesting, thank god Trent freed Ilan from the terrible acts he's been playing with, he's an excellent musician, but seriously a Blink 182 spin off and Paramore?
I agree that the option of having 2 keyboardists is very interesting. I have my reserves on Belew's stage presence but I will definitely give him a chance. His talent is undeniable.
With Adrian Belew and Ally, maybe Europe will finally get some Ghosts.
Can we please get Meathead to make a shitty flash cartoon for this now? Then it will really feel like a real announcement.
This is really fucking exciting news! And i'm so glad he specifically said worldwide in 2014 and I won't have to try and persuade my family to holiday in New York (well there's so much for kids to do there! no ulterior motive honest)
OH GOD YES. Now I have to start saving up for a fall trip to the states for me and the mrs. Probably aiming for the east coast - shorter distance. But... anyway. FUCKING GOD YES!!!!!11
*sigh* There goes the deposit on the nice apartment... ;-)
YES!
So the usual rules apply right, US Tour then World Tour
Gives me chance to save up for the UK leg.
No, I understand what you mean. It's a bit bait and switch. But he's clearly indicating, from his words and from the line-up, that it's going to be something special that brings the band back. And I'm AOK with that.

This is wonderful! Bring on 2014!
I am losing my mind. I might have to take a half-day from work!!! (on second thought, I'm gonna need the money!)
Usually I've gone up to Montreal for the shows but haven't got "ze necessary papers" for border crossing yet. So either I get off my ass and do that now or stick to Boston as I did once before (where I actually met the band!).
Does that mean NIN are acctualy playing the fuji rock festival he said first dates in the summer. prehaps some sproradic international dates before u.s tour.
