What was with the golf carts driving through the front of the crowd during the radiohead set? Freaking retards almost ran over my girlfriend as they tried to push the crowd back despite everyone being pushed together as close as possible.
generally if golfcarts are trying to push through a massive crowd it means that there is someone who needs medical attention. what was really puzzling to me was the clean vibe truck making its way through the middle of grab
I gathered the medical emergency. But they could've chosen a different route. They drove parrallel to the stage to the middle then drove back towards the soundbooth and disappeared. There was no reason for them to be driving through the most populated part of the crowd.
There was definantly someone selling shady shrooms at roo this year. my friend ate shrooms he got from this guy, like maybe 45 minutes of him not talking he got up, and walked away. Didn't see him for the entire day, apparently he thought bonnaroo was, get this, "A promotion for scientology" and that it was necessary for him to escape. So he remembers thinking he needed to escape and rip off his bracelet, next thing he remembers he is handcuffed to a bench at police station in his boxers. Some guy found his phone and left one of us a message saying our friend was freaking out and needed our help but we didn't get message till sunday. Apparently he walked far away from bonnaroo and was found by police in his boxers holding his wallet. bail bonds men was nice though, took him to walmart to get shoes and shirt and stuff like that. Police wrote him down as being publicly intoxicated. I mean I've never blacked out from shrooms before, so this happenning has me very suspicious
im starting to wonder if someone didnt have some bunk shrooms and laced them with something to get rid of them. ive enver heard as many bad shroom trip stories as i am hearing this year

See, Im a glass half full kinda guy. I think these stories show that the product was good this year. I mean Ive had good times and Ive had bad times on the same bag of goodies. Im real sad I didnt get any this year cause they sound better than the ones I got last year. Just sounds like some real strong stuff this year. More bang for the buck lol.
I semi freaked out. I haven't tripped in like 5 years. friday i "tested" the shrooms and just had a slight buzz, but came down hard during MMJ and had to go back to my tent. Saturday I was wasted. ate them near the end of beck and started tripping before radiohead. I thought I was coming down as radiohead was coming on but i was just getting started. I left my group and began to walk all over the radiohead area. that music was in my head. i kept thinking i was at blockbuster pavillion. i couldnt process that I was on a farm in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of crazy hippies. when i did process it, i started to freak out and then walk some more. i wish i wouldn't have tripped during radiohead. paranoid android came on and it snapped me out of a daze and i was like 'ooo! paranoid android. i should start walking. that would be cool to walk while they play this.'
that's my main qualm with mushrooms... you never know just how strong they're going to be... with L you can ration aout your intake if you're not sure, but you sort of have to eat a bit of shrooms just to get off...and that taste is not a pleasant one, so it's easier to just shove em all in your mouth rather than wait the 45 minutes to an hour to see if anything has happened yet and have to go through that rough period of queeziness again.
I agree with Frank though, it sounds like this stuff was just really really strong and a few people didn't know how to handle themselves on it...
I'm glad I stuck to the L this year... never had a bad moment on that

anyone see the naked guy during radiohead at the back by the portopotties?.....he was being held down by like six guys, and then he was strapped to a stretcher and taken away....
I think he was the same naked guy who was running around this clearing of people in the back, snapping people with towels, until two dudes rounded him up and waited there for the yellow shirts to get there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. This is the first time (well, only time) in my life that I've heard of so many bad trips that required strapping people to stretchers. I wish we were privy to the stats from the med tents from this year.
I have a weird question and no one may have the answer but it's bothering me ... were these bad trips all from shrooms? or other stuff, too?
Didi anyone see the guy during moe. and Phil that had on short overalls - green if I remember - but he had cut the ass out of them - he was running around between the VIP bleachers and the beer tent? I tried to get a picture but he was too fast for me.
of course, at that point I was tripping on some of those "bad" shrooms - so maybe I imagined him

Meg, you're back!! I was missing you and worried since I hadn't seen you on here post-roo. I wish I had met you at Roo.
Anyone see the guy go into a seizure a little bit before the Superjam? It must've happend around 11:45 or so. I was all boomed out and twenty feet to my left at the front of the crowd, dead center this kid starts shaking uncontrollably. It made for a bad part of the trip, and then I felt even worse for him because he must've showed up about 10 o'clock to get such a prime spot.
Also, did anyone camping in the section directly behind the Camping Only Area get their car radio stolen? My friends from Rhode Island had their two cars broken into and their stereos stolen, along with a bunch of other people aroung them. Apparently the guy was hopped up on Crystal Meth and proceeded to drive away with all these stereos, running over campsites and tents. A woman reached in to the car from the passengers side and broke the key in the ignition, then the guy bit her on the arm. The security and police subdued the man and hog tied him while everyone who witnessed the incident proceeded to shout "Woman biter!" at the guy and berated him for quite sometime. I believe this happened Friday night.
thats nuts. it sounds like this is they year that the criminals showed up. a friend of a friend that i didnt even know was going had thier rv broken inot and said that at least 20 rvs around them were broken into too

I kept reading this thread waiting for someone to mention this guy, it was blues traveler under one of the tents at that time... He was flailing around like crazy then he started taking stuff out of his pockets and throwing it around.. One of the girls we were hanging out with grabbed his wallet and tried to give it back to him but he just kept weirding out... So she took it and sat down with us again and thats when he started taking his clothes off and got all nuts, she gave the medic dudes his wallet and told them where his shorts were and what we had seen... Crazy nuts...
People should know what they're getting into... Its stuff like this that give the rest of us a bad name... I do feel sorry for the dude but theres a lesson to be learned....

I'm a vendor at Bonnaroo every year.... this year there were 4 people who died (that I know of... Maybe more I didn't hear about). One person was hit by a shuttle van and died right behind Which stage. One girl took 100+ xanax and was found in her tent with a suicide note. One girl was apparently wasted, went in her car, rolled up the windows and fell asleep before she turned on the a.c. so she either overheated or dehydrated or both. Some vendors I know found her but couldn't get into the car so they called paramedics but the girl was dead by the time they got to her. One guy was found in his tent overheated and dehydrated. In 2010, they were proud to say that "ONLY 8 people died" so there were most likely more than 4 deaths this year. People just don't understand how important water and food is when you're out in the heat like that.
One of my friends we went with ate some shrooms on Thursday afternoon and had a really bad trip. He thought everyone around us wanted to kill him so he just walked away. It turned out he called his parents and said "come pick me up, they're gonna kill me" and then kept walking until he actually left Bonnaroo completely. Of course, as soon as he walked out of Bonnaroo he got arrested for Public intoxication and resisting arrest and they cut off his wristband. When he came down he paid his bond and got a lift to a hotel and slept for the night/took a shower. In the morning he walked to a gas station barefoot (he lost his sandals when resisting arrest apparently) and hitched a ride to a store to buy shoes. He then walked to one of the gates at Bonnaroo and, after buying a scalped ticket, showed back up at our campsite Friday before we even went down to Centeroo.
