I was living in New Zealand at the time so flew over to Australia for this concert. I flew back to New Zealand the following day and while in the waiting lounge saw the band walk by to board our flight!
I asked one of the attendants during the flight if they could take my boarding pass up to Trent to sign for an autograph. As a fan himself, he was happy to oblige. When we disembarked at Auckland airport I noticed Trent sitting in the waiting lounge on his laptop. for his connecting flight. I nervously wandered over to Trent past his (rather large) security guard.
As I approached I uttered "excuse me Mr. Reznor" and he looked up with his classic furrowed-brow-Trent-scowl", I quickly decided to make a quip; "I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful concert in Brisbane last night... see, there are not many bands that I would fly to another country to see, but I definitely couldn't miss you guys!"
He cracked a semblance of smile through his furrowed brow, stood up to shake my hand and we had a brief chat where he mentioned he looks forward to playing in New Zealand the following year. I was obviously chuffed and grinning like a school boy.
It was an overall wonderful experience; the concert itself, the random flight home with the band on our plane, the autograph thanks to the flight attendant, then meeting Trent himself.
Great memory!
