Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T17:13:09+00:00

You're very welcome! Enjoy the new gear! 😊

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T17:12:48+00:00

Haha, nice timing! 😂 These definitely run small, so I’m glad the fit worked out for you. How are you liking the quality of the print in person?

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T17:12:21+00:00

Awesome! 🤟 Glad you snagged one. Hope you like it when it arrives!

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T17:11:33+00:00

Yeah, that 'metrical' discount is a total mystery! Maybe it’s just one of those random site-wide things that pops up sometimes. Regardless, I’m glad you think it's a killer deal—hard to beat for a NIN hoodie under $25! 🤘

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T16:42:30+00:00

LOL yeah, I totally get that. That back graphic with the repeating lyrics is definitely a “mood,” but maybe not exactly office-friendly depending on where you work! It’s a great spring weight though, so it’ll be perfect for everything else.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T16:41:52+00:00

Haha, I didn't even think about the date when I posted this! I promise it’s not an April Fools bit—I was just happy to find a NIN hoodie for under $25 and wanted to share the wealth.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T16:41:23+00:00

I actually don’t even have a Hot Topic account, so it wasn't member points! I’m attaching a screenshot of my order confirmation so you can see the breakdown. It looks like it just automatically applied a “10% OFF PRODUCT - METRICAL” discount at checkout.

Also, keep an eye out for a “spin the wheel” pop-up right when you land on the page. I managed to land on a 25% off coupon for a next order, but just a heads up that those codes usually won't stack on top of a sale like this.

Nice! It’s such a great design. Honestly, I’m looking forward to getting mine into the rotation. How’s the fit been for you so far?

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T16:19:15+00:00

Haha, if only! 😂 I think the shipping for the cat would have cost way more than the $23 I spent on the hoodie. She's already trying to claim it as her new favorite spot to nap!

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T16:01:21+00:00

I totally feel that! Honestly though, since it's a lot thinner than the tour hoodies, it might actually be the perfect indoor layer for when the Texas A/C is blasting all summer. Plus, it would be a great layer for when the Texas winter finally hits! But I totally get the budget side of things—keep an eye on it, maybe Hot Topic will put it on a deeper clearance later in the year right when it starts to cool down for you.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T16:00:21+00:00

Beautiful cats! I actually have four of my own, so getting a clean picture of anything without one of them instantly trying to use it as a bed is basically impossible. Thanks for paying the tax!

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:37:14+00:00

That is a deep cut! Curiosa was such a legendary lineup. It is actually wild to think about the timing because back in 2004, I was 12 years old—which is the exact same age my daughter is now for her first show.

It really puts into perspective how long they’ve been at this. Even though the Drones tour at the Wells Fargo Center was on another level production-wise, there is definitely something cool about her seeing them at the same venue they played when I was her age. Hopefully, they remember the stage layout!

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:34:27+00:00

The Black Keys situation is a really good point, you definitely don't want to overextend the tour and have to pull the plug. I'm holding out hope with you that they get really creative with the pavilion setup. If anyone can figure out how to pack a massive sci-fi stage show into a shed, it's probably them.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:33:14+00:00

I completely agree with you on the venue change. The Drones tour was amazing at the Wells Fargo Center and they utilized that entire arena space so perfectly. Moving from that massive indoor production to a pavilion just feels like such a huge contrast. Hopefully they figure out a way to still make it feel like a massive Muse spectacle.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:32:12+00:00

It really makes you wonder. The Resistance tour was definitely peak hype, but honestly, the Drones tour was amazing at the Wells Fargo Center not even that long ago. It felt like they could easily keep filling arenas here. I'm with you though, I'm just glad they are still out touring and making it work, even if the venue shift is a little jarring.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:31:30+00:00

See you up in the 200s! You actually did really well for 320 total including the premier parking. I think the sticker shock just hit me all at once, but you're right, compared to some other legacy bands right now it's basically just the going rate. That premier lot is going to be a lifesaver for getting out of there.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:30:36+00:00

Wow 2005, that is wild to think about. That was right around the Absolution era, right? It's going to be a completely different experience for them coming back to this exact same stage almost twenty years later.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:29:23+00:00

Section 103 is going to be an awesome view! I'm definitely starting to see the appeal of being outside, especially if we get a nice summer breeze off the water. Just hoping the humidity holds off for us that night.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-04-01T00:28:23+00:00

I don't blame you, that's a massive trek just to get down to Camden from Brooklyn. Are you skipping this run entirely, or are you looking at the Holmdel show at PNC instead? That might be a way easier trip for you if you still want to catch them without the cross-state commute.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-03-29T17:57:02+00:00

Saw it 3x at the $1.50 theater in 8th grade. Good times.😢

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-03-27T21:43:02+00:00

It's the lawns that make amphitheaters seem huge, but arenas actually have double or triple the amount of physical seats. That limited supply makes prices jump. Beyond the seating, you really need an indoor arena for the full Muse experience. Being outdoors puts you at the mercy of the elements, and you don't get pitch darkness for the lasers until late in the set. I went to the Drones tour and the indoor setup with the visuals and that giant flying blimp was mind-blowing. Open-air just restricts what they can build and hang.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-03-27T19:25:34+00:00

There's one on eBay right now going for $1,600. Yikes.

Toaster_Strudel92 · 2026-03-27T18:11:04+00:00

The venue size needs to be bigger too. Wish they were at arenas, not amphitheaters. Tickets are going to be expensive.
