Mick's Passion for Cricket Costs Me Money

I'm all set to go to Cardiff this week for the first England/Pakistan ODI. I booked my hotel back in April, and I was stunned to find that all the hotels in the city center were doubling or tripling their prices for the night before the ODI. I thought, "Wow, I guess this cricket match is a big draw."

I just found out that it's not the cricket at all. There's a Rolling Stones concert in Cardiff the night before the ODI. It can't be a coincidence, though. As I've already mentioned on this blog, Mick Jagger is a huge cricket fan. I'm sure he will be at Sophia Gardens next Wednesday.
