Soulsavers featuring Mark Lanegan

This blog has been sitting in drafts for over 3 months. I'm posting it as is, because I want to get to the real deal - My end of year 2009/wishes for 2010 blog. All of my 3 readers know the ending to this story anyway :)

Once again, I've slacked off on the blog. Unapologetically I might add. But the events of this past weekend are a great excuse for getting it down, before I forget the details, because I'll want to remember this for a long time to come.

Soulsavers released a new record last month, another collaboration with Mark Lanegan. A short US tour was announced. No Philly date so I got it in my head to travel to Cleveland for the show there. It was on a Saturday night and I could spend time with my friend and fellow Lanegan devotee, Sergio. Sergio snagged the tickets and I started looking for flights. I wasn't having much luck and flight prices kept increasing the closer the show got. I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to miss Mark this time around. I told Sergio I wouldn't be able to make it.

I began to search around for other plans for the weekend. On Wednesday, on a whim, I went online and looked up flights again. Hmm, I found a round trip flight that would have me to Cleveland and back in just over 24 hours at a price I could afford. The wheels started turning. I quickly contacted Sergio to make sure he hadn't made other plans. He hadn't. It was a go. Holy Smokes! I was going to Cleveland to see Soulsavers and Mark Lanegan!!
