review

So we're all well fed and... well... drunk... no wait, that didn't come out right. Anyway, we're all quite merry and heading back to flash our wristbands and edge our way through the crowds to a packed Cruz101. And then a few of us venture further afield to sample Essential. And then... Oh it's all very, very blurry.

And we begin with a photo of me with... who IS this? Someone tell me, please?
 
The boys show off their matching torsos.
 
Smile please!

5. No, wait. Tommy forgot to get in this one.
