My girlfriend and I met in college 5 years ago and have been together ever since. This is a serious relationship for the both of us. We've been through some rough times, but we've survived it all and I know that we mean more to each other now than when we first started dating.
I've put a lot of thought into the marriage proposal. She's not your stereotypical kind of girl. She's not big into flowers or jewelry, but she loves video games and rock music. I'm sure she would be OK with a proposal on a beach somewhere, but personally I think she'd be happier with something a little more creative. So I've been thinking, "What can I do that would be both original and personal?"
It hit me like a ton of bricks while I was at lunch last week: I'll propose to her at a Nine Inch Nails concert!
A little bit of backstory: we're both big NIN fans, but she's the one that introduced me to the music when we first started dating. She saw them perform live in Charlotte, NC during the Fragility tour, and after we got together we saw them in Atlanta, GA and Greenville, SC. These concerts have become some of our happiest memories of being together. It seems only fitting that I should propose to her at a NIN concert, given our appreciation of the band and our great memories of the live shows.
Nine Inch Nails will be performing some shows in the coming months, and even though tickets aren't on sale yet we plan on being at one of them. I'm going to promote this blog all across the internet in the hopes of contacting Trent Reznor.
Yeah, you read that right: I want to contact Trent Reznor. Do you think you could help me do that?
I've never done something like this before but there's nothing holding me back. I'm willing to do anything for her, and I know that this would be an absolute dream come true. Nothing's going to stop me from trying.
Right about now, you're probably wondering what I'm expecting to happen. I don't have any specific goal in mind except to make contact with Reznor and hope that he can help me out in any way possible.
So here is my question for you, the reader: how do I contact Trent Reznor? I'm not in the music business and I know nothing about agents and all that hooplah. How does the average joe contact a musician who has sold millions of albums?
If you have any helpful information, please email me at ninproposal@gmail.com. I'm going to post updates to this blog as they happen.
