Hey! Great advice! One question though... You might want to add a footnote explaining what a "wrap-mac" is. I'm guessing some sort of raincoat, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's a case of the American not knowing the proper slang, but still it warrents a tad bit of explanation!
I really liked this though! Very interesting read!

I'll add that. A "wrap-mac" is pretty much a hooded smock made out of polystyrene that costs about a quid and keeps the rain off. I was at the V2001 festival last year and they cost £1.50 when the sun was out. Then it started to rain (and didn't stop) and suddenly they were £5 a piece. I'm still trying to get to grips with guideml at the moment, scary computer languages...I have enough problems with my crayons snapping on me.

Your bit on rainmacs reminds of the couple of very wet glastonburys when wellys were costing from £15 upwards and the traders weren't even getting back to there stalls from buying them before they were snapped up by soggy punters.
Good luck with guideML it is quite a friendly language compared with others and doesn't take long to get yr head round!

That would be just icebox as his entry is very good...but this is not my first recommendation, though I am glad it was picked as it contains my accumulated festival experience which includes escaping the riots at this year's Leeds Carling Weekend...
