Going to reading was deffinately an eye opener.

Naturally seeing lots of new and exiting bands was definately a plus along with getting away from the city and camping for a change.

I did however realise a few things:
* how much i apprieate using a nice clean toilot
* how much i apprieate home cooked food
* how much i prefer a person to people in general
* how over rated live music actually is.
* how important it is to be around simular people

Each of the above was a bit of a challenge to me.

but, however, on a more positive note, i did enjoy the following performances:
* The Killers - World class band, really suprised how good
* The Mystery Jets - Really good band who's 80's pop is fantastic live
* Blood Red Shoes - Gave it their all, played a lot better live
* Be Your Own Pet - last show for them, really fun and got the crowd going
* The Teenagers - really funny everytime i see them

Heres a list of all the bands i see, if you are interested in knowing more about them let me know:
