One of my new years resolutions is to suggest to every trancer I know to invest in some good earplugs in orrder to protect our precious ears so we can enjoy our beloved trance music for many years to come. You can find quality, high-fidelity earplugs which protect your ears, but also still allow you to listen to the music without compromising the sound quality. They sound so good you often forget you are wearing them. You could very easily go order them online right now at www.etymotic.com/ephp/er20.aspx for about $15 shipped (and no, I am not getting kickbacks for endorsing this company, I just happen to be having a positive experience utilizing their product).

I also think that event planners should be offering cheap, foam earplugs as a courtesy to party goers. Or even if you have to sell them for $1 it is a nice gesture to the inexperienced trancer or those who forgot or misplaced their own earplugs. Hell, you could even make a few bucks if you wanted by ordering a batch of the good earplugs and selling them at parties for $20 to people who might be interested in that. I bet you'd have takers.

So, this year and many years into the future, enjoy your parties, dance your ass off, and listen safely to the music that moves you. You'll be grateful you took care of yourself in that way.

Peace,
Justina
