I nearly didn't go this year, for personal reasons not because of the change of style, but a friend persuaded me to go for three days and I'm glad I did. Most of the things that I go for, and most of the people I usually see, were there. I don't think I missed sitting on that horrible steep grassy bank, or wandering round those Arena stalls full of neo-hippy tat made in sweatshops in Asia.
Many thanks to all of you who worked hard to make it happen. Next year I'll go for the week
