Did anyone else see the passed out guy inside the Somethin' Else area passed out with the plants all around him on Thursday. I saw fifteen or twenty people take his picture. He was out for most of the Porter-Batiste-Stoltz set. Best part about it was when he woke up...Fifteen minutes after waking up and leaving, my brother and I saw him re-entering the Somethin' Else tent with two ladies in tow. Priceless!
Also, on a more scarier note, saw a guy on some no-no's have a seizure by the What Stage center beer tent closer to the back during the Raconteurs . My wife helped turn him to his side (she's an RN) and some guy tried to get her to shove a pen in his mouth, and she was like "I'm not doing that...that's quacking stupid." Then someone else tried to get her to get the guy who was in the middle of his seizure to drink water. WTF? Did they want him to choke to death. Anyways, I freaked out trying to find a Yellow shirt to radio the EMTs while my wife calmly took care of the guy. I still can't get the image of him shaking and then going limp and bleeding from the mouth. It was nuts, and not in a good way, but it made me proud of my wife for remaining so calm and clear-headed. It was crazy the luck that this guy had, because the lady working the Ben & Jerry's stand right where the guy fell out was also an RN, and she and my wife stabilized him until the medical crew arrived.
I know that this was not funny, but good Lord it will definitely stick in my head. The guy's name was Hanni (sp) and he was from Miami, and after reading the posts on here that there were no deaths at the Roo this year, I was relieved, but I worried about him for the rest of the weekend
me and my friends had a call out for if we get lost. one says "Bangerang Peter" if someone hears it, they reply "Rofioooooooo!!!!"
the saying that really made my roo was my friend's after friday night at like 4 am describing his experiences, "God Bless A-Roo". almost brought tears to my eyes.
I saw a woman blow drying her hair with a battery-operated air mattress pump and her boyfriend fussing about her wearing down the batteries. Priceless.
walking back to camp with my bf scott and my friend kris at like 5 :30 min the morning on sunday after leaving waste of time kanye, these two girls were quacked up, on their hands and knees giving each other headlocks. they both get up and run to kris and say "will you take us to Kanye show". hes like "no, i just left there", so they both run by us and one of them looks at my bf and says "shes really cute" (talking about her friend) my bf says, "so is my gf".

me and a random guy (both had been nomming) debated about whether or not the blown speaker during Sigur Ros was planned or not.
we kept looking at each other and saying, "nah, this is planned... they make weird noises like that right? it's gotta be... nooooo, wait, it's a blown speaker..... no wait, it's planned?!"
we had no clue, but those freaking light bulbs were incredible so we both agreed that we needed to get a better look and made our way from out in the field underneath THAT TENT.

This was pretty weird...wandering around Centeroo I ran into both Ray Bong AND my sister at the exact same time....we all came from 3 different directions and converged on one spot. Did anyone else see Ray Bongs address to the Nation of Bonnaroo? It was Friday morning at 11 a.m. on the path real close to centeroo. It was insane. He had keyboards and this crazy thing called a Choron(sp.) it is this weird controller thing that synthesizes and responds to movement. It was so fun....his tie dye hair was awesome too...he handed out c.d.'s of his music The Bongoloids.
fun times
damn I love Bonnaroo and the people who make it awesome!

I was walking back to my camp after the B.B. King show and some guy that was on his way back into Centeroo was screaming "I'm middle aged, from the suburbs, my parents paid for my college and I'm STILL depressed!" no one really understood why he was doing this... I'm sure the beer in his hand had something to do with it
at like 7 in the morning Friday morning a car alarm started going off somewhere across camp and it woke myself and my two buddies up... we laid there listening to it and eventually started getting irritated at it... we sat up as people were screaming and hollaring "turn that shit off" etc, etc... and finally it stopped and everyone just hit there pillows... I jokingly yelled "encore!"... not 3 seconds later someone elses alarm went off for about 20 seconds... I'm pretty sure he was waiting to do that
Sunday afternoon I was walking back to camp after Robert Randolph's show and I passed a guy selling beer out of his cooler as he was walking my direction... a few minutes after we passed each other some guy wearing a straw hat with long dreads scampered past me yelling in a shy innocent voice "come back, beer man!!"
My best friend Greg is the guy dressed as PRINCE, if I could figure out how to put pics on here I would share some, but he has video of him tearing down the Karaoke tent, and that will be on youtube soon
I saw some fairly old guy (old for 'roo at least - probably about 60ish) with rainbow hair, a tie-dye shirt and sunglasses just wandering around aimlessly on the edge of Shakedown Street. He looked like he had eaten way too much corn. I snapped a pic, and I'll post it when I upload all my photos. Also, did anyone see the guy dressed up as the Daft Punk robot, with all those flashing lights on his costume? That was pretty cool, I thought.

You mean the guy in that purple suit? I spoke to him and got a couple pics. He said something like "dude, it's hot as balls under here". Seemed like a nice guy.

On thursday morning in Pod 1, before 12 noon had passed I believe it was before 8 actually! I was walking to go look around and some guy walks up to a horse and slaps it.
Yes he slapped it!
Everyone around looked at him like what is wrong with you man?! The safety guys took care of him put him on a golf cart and proceeded to take him away to medical.
Not 10 seconds later he jumps off the cart and almost gets run over by a car. He then gets handled back onto the cart and taken to the medical area, convieniently located nearby.
Well a few minutes later we see the golf cart pulling into the area with the medical tent and we hear him screaming NOOOO!!! GET AWAY!!! AHHH!!!
The guy had already lost my mind and I found it absolutely hilarious. Nothing had even started yet, they hadn't even filled up pod 1 for christs sake!!
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "
our neighbors had a long interesting drunken conversation. A mere highlight out of an hour long conversation; "I didnt fuck a cucumber! It fucked ME!!"

Jack324...that old dude with Tye Dye Hair is Ray Bong, President of Bonnaroo, and he had one hell of a State of the Union Address on Friday Morning. He is from New Orleans and plays some crazy ass experimental music using a keyboard and this motion based synthesizer thing that looks like a Playstation controller...he handed out c.d.'s of his music and put on a crazy show for a bunch of us. He was a really nice guy, I ran into him multiple times throughout the fest. Definitely one of a kind. Here he is...
I'm taking several of the Bonnaroo virgins in my group on a Centeroo tour. We decided we were going to catch a few What Made Milwaukee Famous songs and move on.
We got near the tent and saw this guy tearing off his clothes. It reminded me of the Mr. Show "Altered State of Druggachusettes" sketch. He just yanked his pants around his ankles, kicked off his shoes and starting running around in his birthday suit. He ran up to a hot dog stand, tried stealing one from the vendor, and some security guys yelled at him. They gave him a bottle of water, of which he took a couple swigs before swinging it around and getting the staff and vendor wet.
I think that's about all the rookies had to see to know what kind of weekend they were in for.
I saw that, but it got unfunny real quick. He went into a seizure similar to an epileptic seizure. We had to flag down someone with a radio to get the paramedics out there.
I remember thinkinking the guy was a huge idiot not just for taking too many no-no word but for doing during the very first show of the fest.
It did get unfunny real quick. We headed back to camp once it seemed like someone had that situation under control. I didn't see him have anything resembling a seizure, though.
My buddy was holding a full beer in his right hand and had a watch on his left wrist. Between shows we're discussing what next to see and he wonders aloud what time is it? He then proceeds to lift his right hand to view his watch (which is on other wrist) and pours beer all over his chest/shoulder, and exclaims, "God dammit, what am I Jerry Lewis?"
I was walking to in Centeroo and a girl was walking besides me and said "my thighs have been rubbing together all day, I told you I should wear spanky's" then she turned and looked at me and said "oh your not my boyfriend" and turn around..
