Don't think so because he said that was a different stage than the one NIN was soundchecking on. They were on the north stage apparently.

Good call, that's gotta be The Killers set up. The north stage (NIN stage) has the obvious downtown sky scrapers in the background (left of the stage), south one doesn't have as much scenery from what I recall in years past.
Perry's used to be tiny but last year they bumped it up to a stage bigger than the second stage on the south field. It's massive, and holds tons of people. Last year Bassnectar had a bigger crowd at that stage than both Black Sabbath and Black Keys did on their respective main stages.
Fashion statement for the day: rain poncho chic.
Yeah, I'm laying awake in an Elmhurst apartment to the fairly loud storm sounds around. And then...they just stopped?
Spoiler: Forecast for today doesn't look very inviting.

Today is the day. No thunder atm (& I promise I didn't bring it from Florida ;-)
Wearing Muppets tee & bandana if fellow ETS'ers want to say hi.
Looking forward to the next 11 hours.
I cant fucking wait! Leaving work soon to take a nap. Only going for Queens and NIN. My 6 1/2 months pergnant wife is coming as well so that means I wont be able to get very close but whatever. Ive been against the rail before and for this show, I want to see the whole stage. Its been raining here in Naperville on and off...
Just dropped 400 in merch. Different nin shirts than japan. Also lolla posters autographed by all bands limited to 100. I got 1. Silkscreen on 100% cotton paper. Going back to hotel now. Will drop merch and post some pics. Can grab shirts for anyone who wants one. 30 each. 1 is the limited red shirt from nin.com with festival dates on back. Should have seen the womans face when I asked for 5 of them.
Oooo the red shirt with dates!? Damn I bet that looks so nice.

What I did for love: suffer through Ghost BC. Boring.
Lots of little fan reunions going on around me. And I see some familiar faces across the center barrier. Grabbing spots early gets more tolerable from here. Band of Horses is up next. But clouds are thickening...
Fingers crossed that Trent appears to sing Kolopsia with Queens Of The Stone Age in a little bit.
the stream is cutting out horribly, it's completely unwatchable for me
and im gonna guess if this doesnt get smoothed out, get ready for a clusterfuck later.

Yeh it's jittery for me too.
Does anyone have a better solution for watching the stream? I've tried in Firefox and Chrome and they're both skipping like crazy
yep will be unwatchable at this rate....grrrr had my evening here in Austin all planned....QOTSA then NIN.... glad to know i'm not alone though...misery loves company!
EDIT: Nevermind. Still shit.
Last year I had a shitty connection AND the weather was worse, and I still was able to stream it without these kind of issues. Get your head in the game!

So lets get this spoiler train going.
I can't believe the board is so slow right now, they're on STAGE.
