What was the one thing that you missed at this year's Roo that you're kicking yourself for missing? For me, my biggest regret was not seeing all of My Morning Jacket.
This was my first Roo, so I was not prepared for how dead tired I would be at the end of Friday night. MMJ was one of my must-see shows for the weekend, and the part that I did see absolutely blew my mind, but I simply didn't have the energy to stay for the whole thing. I left during the set break, and as soon as I left Centeroo, I heard A Quick One blasting from That Tent, which made me very disappointed that I wasn't there, but I had to crash. My disappointment only grew when I came here and read all of the rave reviews for the show. Oh well, I'm sure they'll be back next year.

My biggest regret was dosing at midnight thursday night, keeping me up all night. I really could've used rest that night to be more able bodies the rest of the weekend. That being said, i dont ACTUALLY regret anything I did cuz it was all AWESOME

Yeah I didn't account for how exausting the walk from BFE and the heat would be. I missed Tom Petty, Radiohead and Oysterhead - all on my must see list I did however see MMJ for the first time and WOW, they were amazing.
what happenned with Lucero? I saw them in the program but not on the sched? Ithought it would be nice to see a local band at Bonnaroo but I coudln't figure out what was going on with them!
Not seeing Medeski Martin & Wood, but I really had to save a good spot for Les Claypool, and as a bonus Gabby La La came out to chat with some of us, so I wiuld have missed her if I'd seen MMW.
Also: Missing The Magic Numbers, and generally not having more Saturday late-night energy, although I really can't complain because of all that preceded it.

If I remember the chain of events right, they were announced with the slew of Cafe acts, then they were scheduled, then moved on the schedule, then disappeared, then reappeared right before my departure, but when I got there, they weren't on the schedule?! Then apparently they ended up playing late night on Thursday in one of the cafes/lounges!

I was one of the hundreds of people packed outside the cinema tent on Saturday for USA Vs. Italy. It was the atmosphere I've always wanted to see from Americans when it comes to soccer. However, I don't think I'll ever see a Radiohead show quite like that one, and I wish I would have camped out to get close.
biggest regret: having a panic attack at the end of petty, nearly taking a nose dive onto a fence as a result, and resulting in my passing out at 12am and missing MMJ and all the late night of Friday.
not going to the medical tent sooner on sunday...not sure what happened (my best guest is exaustion coupled with a bit of dehydration) but during the streets i got a migraine and felt nauseas...and left early...i ended up face down in a dust pit for sonic youth...so, if you saw a guy who looked like he was on the verge of dying during sonic youth - but continued to tap his foot...that was me...
i ended up going to the med. tent after sonic youth popped some motrin and was better within 30 minutes....but by then my roo was winding down...
so, if you saw a guy who looked like he was on the verge of dying during sonic youth - but continued to tap his foot...that was me...
Dude I totally saw you!!! I was like...I bet that guy did some shrooms. LOL
oddly enough, I didn't do anything at roo except drink beer...i did have several beers sunday morning but this wasn't being drunk or hungover...something just snuck up on me and my body kind of shut down...but i really wanted to see (hear) sonic youth, so i opted to lay there...and tap my foot non-stop
afterwards i told my friends that if i knew i was going to end up feeling like that by sunday, i would have done copious amounts of....everything
Not staying for the second half of Phil Lesh. I had to leave to get home to take an exam for summer classes. I looked at the songs that I missed, Shakedown Street, Box of Rain, FRANKLIN'S TOWER, I almost kicked myself when I saw that.
missing the fri. late nights, but i was just too tired, got a great sleep and had mad energy all of saturday so its cool. and not meeting any inforooers.

Driving all night Weds to get there early... it was too hot for me to get any real rest all day Thurs. and this snowballed into me missing some sets later in the weekend due to fatigue. As I understand it, the wait for entry was much more reasonable this year than in my prior 'Roo's (02-04).
That and bringing WAY too much food... We gave some away on Saturday and Sunday to some hungry kids, so at least that worked out. Still wound up carrying a lot of stuff home, though.
sitting in front of the main stage all day Saturday for radiohead (missing a must see Claypool) only to end up fighting my way out of the crowd and to the back after Beck because of the lack of beverages and room....I hated to miss claypool!
Being so tired to see the superjam...in fact I slept on the ground waiting for the superjam to start and it took so long I just got up and went to camp...right when I started walking back they started playing. (but I was just to exhausted to watch)
