Hmm. Just listened to a few snippets from this year's bootlegs and I have to admit that things do sound better. However, are two festivals enough to go on? I'll have to think about it.

I didn't forget that, it's just not enough of a reason. I'll regret it a lot more if they're as bad as usual.

I should have previewed my post, shouldn't I? That's what I get for trying to be clever.

I'm not asking for much, just that we can hear the music. Isn't that the whole point of a concert?
OOOOh, you've come over all Blast.
Five cups of coffee just to be myself...when I'd rather be somebody else
