Back in March of last year
I went to see Steve Earle at The Roundhouse in Camden.

Before the encore I nipped up the stairs to the outside balcony for a cigarette.

I then bought myself a beer.

Then went to go back to see the encore.

I remember being at the top of the big flight of concrete stairs, hearing a cheer and wanting to get back quickly so I didn't miss anything.

Then I remember waking up in back of an ambulance, covered in blood from my nose, my head, my lips, my hands and my chin.

The reason i think this qualifies for a Darwin near miss is that the very last thing I remember thinking was:

'Oh, my shoelaces are undone, better do them up when I get back down there so I don't trip over them'

That's

As I say, its not a good night in Camden unless you leave covered in blood in the back of an ambulance...
