Reading is a place. Lots of good music (and some _really_ bad music) here is a sample of the lineup [http://www.festivalnews.co.uk/reading/lineup.php](http://www.festivalnews.co.uk/reading/lineup.php) ---

August, friday the 22nd till sunday the 24th. If you have friends going, then you can always stop in thier tents with them, there are no security checks on the campsites! so even if you cant get in to see the bands, you can still heay them live from the campsite. To be honest, i had more fun on the campsite than i did in the main arean (Apart from when i was up front watching the offspring - they were amazing!) ---

i was at reading last year and there was this canadian guy who came over on his own. All his friends bailed out at the last moment, so he came and joind me and my friends. Never met him before, never seen him again, but he was a nice guy so we let him eat our food, drink our drink and sleep in our tents. His name was Connor i think…
