New thread.Sorry to stomp on yours TGB, but it's getting a little large.
Question- who is going to any music festivals this year (Leeds in my case).
Alt- why aren't you? Are you some kind of weirdo?

I went to Reading in 2007 and it properly fucked me up for a week.RHCP were fucking awful, NiN and the Pumpkins were pretty damned good though, plus I fell in love with Datarock and had a panic attack during The Pigeon Detectives. I can recommend not staying up all night drinking, smoking weed and doing speed the night before a long weekend at a festival.

And also on the astonishingly poorly-advised first-ever class A, a tab of LSD I was assured would cheer me up. It did not.
