So here's the thing - you've just had a fantastic time at a festival, and you have a wristband around your wrist that brings back all those lovely memories every time you look at it.

Plenty of people keep them on, you can always see people at festivals with an arm of wristbands. They are a constant reminder of some of the fun you've had in your life, and they are also let you show off every once in a while if you meet someone who cares.

Most people probably take them off though. After all they don't want to make them dirty or risk ruining them. They can also be a constant annoyance on your wrist.

If you've been to festivals, have you kept yours on or taken them off? Of if you were to go to a festival, would you keep it on, or take it off?


I have seven on my wrist at the moment. I've been to eleven open air festivals that have done wristbands, but some have given out plastic ones - and they really can't be kept on. I've got to the point now where I probably should take them off, but I can't bring myself to do it. I wouldn't want to cut the material either - the ones that fasten with metal (like Wacken) leave no other option though. I still find it great to look down to my arm and be reminded of all these festivals, and I don't find them that annoying - but it is getting a bit much now, so they probably will be off by the end of the year. (If I read this next year and they are not off - ha! and hello 2010.)
