The repeat business angle makes perfect sense. Makes me wonder though why I haven't got anything decent. Not that I do them very often now. Perhaps if I was taking them regularly I'd stumble across some of the better kit.

A few friends of friends are serious DJ's and clubbers still, so in that respect they're still close to the action - and a few years younger.  Festivals and the occasional bank holidays do for me these days.  
I handle the comedown better now (prob as not doing them all the time) but as I get older I can see a time when I stop drinking, the hangovers are killers since I hit my mid 30's, even when I've not had that much.

When I arrived at Glasto this year I had not had a drink for 22 months. I lasted one night there without a drink but 'broke' on the second day. I think it's just impossible to do Glastonbury without a drink. Well, for me anyway. I know what you mean about hangovers though. They get more and more brutal as time goes on. Oddly enough though I have never had one at Glasto. I think that's because my normal MO before this year was to wake up and start drinking so as not to give it a chance to kick in. The Kronenburg Manouvre as my brother calls it.
