So, this is coming a bit late, but I know a few of you guys went this year. How was it? What were the best bits? Worst bits? Any stories? Anyone at Reading come across the Dave Rave?

I did Reading for the first time this year, it's definately different to Leeds, but I wouldn't say either is better. Had an amazing time though. Drank far more than I usually do and still haven't quite recovered (swigging Lambrini from the bottle at 11am is just soooo classy)! The best part was realising that the 'shuttle boat' from the car park was actually a boat! Worst part was falling asleep all the time! I didn't do so badly this year, fell asleep during whoever was on before Franz Ferdinand and then had to miss the White Stripes to go back to bed. But usually I fall asleep at least 4 times in random places (lying against the barrier in the Radio 1 tent is surprisingly comfy), so I am getting better! Once I woke up to a crowd of people and a round of applause because I'd literally just fallen asleep in the middle of the arena - wasn't even drinking back then! I always manage to wake up on the last night, during the very last band, which is sooo annoying - I wish I had that energy all weekend!

My cousin is in a band, so my brother, at Leeds, went to meet him backstage. So not fair! He got to meet soo many people! Oh well...I had an amazing time and met tons of people. They just weren't famous, but why should that matter?
