In the middle of the festival hype we impulsively bought tickets to Stereosonic. Do I regret that decision? Yes and no. The festival itself was great, well planned so that even though there were 20,000 festival goers, you never had to wait long for a drink or a pee. I think that was part of my problem, no lines at the bar meant quick and easy access to Red Bull – one too many Red Bulls.

After a day of downing countless cans of Red Bull I was buzzing and having a great time. Then, at night, when the effects started to fade came the most painful sugar crash I’ve ever experienced. In fact it was worse than a sugar crash, it was a Red Bull crash. Just imagine a Star Burst sugar crash, then times it by ten. I kid you not, it was horrible. From now on, I’m swearing off Red Bull (except for road trips, can’t do a road trip without Red Bull).
