Someone has dropped out so we have 1 spare seating ticket (and not the best seat in the house either, it is right at the back!) I am willing to sell at face value (£34.50) to whom ever comes along first.

Are you two mind melding?
It was merely a joke to avoid answering the question properly. Real answer: mildly crippling social anxiety. I got the shakes today when I put myself forward for the ticket. Really.
Sorry Weed, you've got a basket case on your hands.

I've been wrestling with wether it's socially acceptable to travel to another city for a gig on my own...
I went to New York alone and I was amazed how many people were there alone. On both nights. When I mentioned to some friends, the reply was "well, it is PULP! Not many people care about them!"

I agree
It'll be quite easy to accomodate Fred with us from the Newcastle whatever. If he's disabled then we just book a space on the train for him. I'm sure he knows better than us what he'll need at the venue & can sort that out for himself. If he isn't disabled, then it was a very dark joke ... but fair doos - I've done worse!

Hi Fred - you should feel right at home with a bunch of Pulp fans then, I think that describes a lot of us. I get anxiety attacks just posting on here sometimes, what if I annoy someone by mistake, they probably all just think I'm an idiot/weird/not sufficiently knowledgeable and fanny/prefers having a seat to moshing/too old/other *

It'll be really good to see you in Sheff in December. Remember the recurrent theme that everyone on this board is really nice.

I'll be going by myself too, I don't know anyone who likes Pulp. Fortunately I'm moving from London to Huddersfield soon so it won't be too far to travel.
Because the audience at a Pulp gig are so nice, it's no problem to see them on your own. Although I was with other people, I wanted to be nearer the front so watched them on my own at Glasto 98, Leeds 2000 and Auto!
Liltman, you say that the audience are 'so nice' but I was punched by some of this nice audience last year at Brixton and earlier this year a girl I was with at the front was assaulted by the same nice audience.
Really? That's not good. They have always generally had a nice crowd compared to other bands in my experience. Although, having said that, they've become 'cool' again so the rise in possible scum levels might have something to do with it, maybe?
I dunno, the lads who did the assaulting seemed to know a lot of the songs very well judging by the nosie they made. They were just disgusting creatures regardless of whether they were Pulp fans or not.
