The View From The Top
So … I’m back home again in SoCal after my pretty amazing weekend in Las Vegas, NV. Altho yesterday was our last half-day in the city, I think we made the most of our time there. David had to leave first because of his flight back to NYC so we had to bid farewell to him in the early afternoon but Darion and I ended up hanging out for a few more hours. Here are a few pics from our afternoon yesterday:
We spent some time at the top of the fake Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel and Casino and were able to watch one of the Bellagio Water Fountain Shows from way up there … it was pretty damn cool, I must say. The show is amazing no matter what your vantage point but seeing it from above is something I would deffo recommend. The rest of the afternoon was spent eating and taking cheesy pics in the casino. It was a great way to round out the weekend.
In addition to video recording my interview with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails on Saturday night, I also audio recorded the whole experience. Here is the interview in full with the extra banter that went back and forth before we sat down for the formal interview:
One of my fave parts is at the beginning when TR’s assistant Brett formally introduces us by saying “Trent, Trent” … Woot! A few Pink readers asked for copies of the interview so you can download the MP3 above. Additionally, other Pink readers asked for the title of the book that TR says he is reading right now — it is Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. I’ve already decided to pick up a copy so that I can read it as well.
So yeah … back home again. It’s very cold and rainy today — it feels like December for reals. I’ll prolly stay inside for most of the day but I will be making my way out to The Abbey to see Candis Cayne’s performance there later on tonight. She’s performing Womanizer … I can’t wait :)

Great interview! Thanks so much for providing the audio. And that bit with ‘Trent, Trent’ at the beginning is adorable. Haha.

WOW!!! That is the best Trent Reznor interview I have ever seen!!! The one he did recently in print was also very good, but this is even better because it’s VIDEO!! WOO!!
I am so very green with envy that you got to do this! I am wondering how this was arranged. I mean, you have a celebrity blog website and all, but how did you get the thing arranged? I would imagine it is next to impossible to get something like that! Seriously, I would love to know…. I would start a website just to be able to get an interview with him or the band!
Thanks for posting it!!
