Upon buying a ticket to see Mark Lanegan - tonight, in Leeds, I found two for sale on ebay, so in a moment of genius I decided to buy them, thinking I'd have one friend who would be wanting to go with me - so I'd not be attending yet another gig on my own.
I've asked numerous people who are all too busy or have a cold coming on, so with two hours until I set off I still have a spare ticket.
The gig is sold out now too.
If anyone else is going tonight I'll be the one talking to myself in the corner of the room.
