Nine Inch Nails @ Numbers in Houston around '91 or '92 - can't really recall. I don't remember if it was the tour where Meat Beat Manifesto or Consolidated opened for NIN. Anyway, for this particular show they made an announcement that anybody that got on stage would be kicked out and not allowed back in. During the course of the evening several people attempted to stage dive and were promptly escorted out the side door to the patio.
Well, I thought I'd give it a shot. So I surf up to the stage and climb up. One of the bouncers runs over and punches me right in the side of the head. I was so wasted that I didn't feel anything. His eyes get wide and he throws me back into the crowd. I'm pumped. I was the only person that made it back into the crowd. As I'm jumping around in the pit people look at me with concern and tell me I should go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. I make my way in and see that I'm covered in blood from my head down to my waist. The bouncer had split my ear open and it was gushing blood everywhere. Have you ever taken a piece of celery and snapped it lengthwise so it was hanging by the outer layer? Yeah, thats what my ear looked like. So I took off my shirt and used it to wash the blood off my head and neck, threw it away, and headed back out to the pit.
