A good mood, the weather (good or bad it both has something) And a crowd that goes all the way.

pfff that's a hard one. To be honest... a raincheck would do the trick here.

12. Take this opportunity to plug what you have going on at the moment/production/gigs/anything you want...

I am not a good salesman. Enjoy this summer, and enjoy all the parties as I will do as well. See you around somewhere and keep it riel !
