I know what you mean it is such a big build up to the day then in the flash of an eye it is gone, but the hangover tends to hand around for longer

Despite a large infusion of alcohol Mrs Anson doesn't do hangovers! :lol:
As for post area blues - I find that if we've done well then I tend to get the blues (in the sense that I don't want it to end) a little as non-banders in your everyday life just don't appreciate your achievement, it's like a foreign language to them!
However if the result isn't too great then I'm actually pretty glad it's all over and don't even attempt to tell non-banders what I got up to at the weekend.

After our Area result this year "getting the blues" is putting it mildly! :cry:
I do feel a big anti-climax after any contest, regardless of our result. The first rehearsal back is always a bit ropey and I often wonder how a set of players that played so well [generally speaking] at the weekend can get to be so rubbish so soon! :shock: But it's generally just a post-contest hangover (playing wise that is - my beer hangover after this year was a VERY big one :guiness )
All part of the rich tapestry that is banding I suppose..........
