I'm doing consulting on the side and loving it. Besides the money, I'm able to really hone some front-end skills that went a little stale because of the project I'm on at my full-time job.
My experience is different than the OPs though. Although we live in the same town, almost all of our interaction is by phone. And I've been fortunate that my contacts are typically technical.
Of course the only downside is time. When you've got a full-time job and then doing it on the side, every minute is precious, but I'd probably be goofing off anyway.
