I've been saying this to a lot of people recently: please get decent earplugs! http://www.widget.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=111 - the ER20 at the bottom (worth getting the cord as well). They are *great* - don't make things muffled, just reduce the volume all over. kitty_goth resisted me nagging at him about them for months, saying that it would spoil gigs for him, then finally cracked just before Xmas. First gig he went to, after about 10 min he said "I'm not sure about this, I'll take them out," did so, went "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" & whacked them straight back in again (discovering in the process that his initial discomfort was because he'd put them in wrong). He is now a total convert & enjoying the lack-of-ringing :-)
(I used to know someone on a mailing list who'd given themselves tinnitus from too much loud music - to the extent that at the age of 25 they could no longer attend gigs/clubs at *all*. This scared the shit out of me.
In other news: before Xmas I offered to send you some big brown envelopes & a sheet of stamps - do you still need these? And if so, cd you let me know your address? (I think the comment requesting such got lost in the Great LJ Comment Losing).
