Can't believe just one person had to paint all those squares on the fountain, that must have sucked... I think we're due for a new paint scheme this year. Whatever the design, I think they would try to use some of this color-changing paint!
I vote hel1 yeah for the lazy river. that'd be so awesome. more fountains yes, waterslide yes, and i voted for a new fountain. New things are always cool.
I got to watch them paint it this past year, actually it was just one person. They painted it on Wednesday. I just felt bad for the guy because it was scorching hot and he couldn't turn the fountains on for obvious reasons.
that was Check.
If i'm not mistaken, he own(ed) the farm, or owns some of it, or something like that.
I saw him putting the final touches on it as well. When the fountain finally erupted and everyone was running through it, he was in the midst of the celebrating ragers squee-jeeing his work, trying to keep the mud off of it.
I remember thinking it was kinda pointless and wondered how long he would keep working like that. He also wore that checkered shirt the entirety of the festival
I really liked the Spicoli Vans design. I thought it was naturally psychedelic.
I wouldn't mind another optical allusion themed design with paint that reacted with blacklights.
Blacklight fountain for 2008 would be pretty sweet

Man a lazy river would be the best. I can see myself floating around and listening to music, quick stop for beer and back to the river. They do have a small river on the grounds, you just have to poke around!
no way... the only thing i'd want them to do is paint the white areas of the mushroom in the glow in the dark paint... it'll glow all night long after being in that TN sun all day! :-)

Oh, there should SO be a lazy river! Imagine just floating around in circles, beer in hand..."Hmm, I'm not feeling this show, I think I'll keep floating over that way and see who's playing at the next tent!"
OH and Modest Mouse could come back and play Float On!

I could use some new bobble heads. They look pretty worn out and I don't know if they're supposed to be someone famous, but I don't get it.... they just don't do much for me. If they had one of jerry, jimi, and such that'd be cool. Or maybe random people like Lincoln, Vonnegut, Dali, ect.
You know, I think you're right... I think they were just so super-deformed I never really put a lot of thought of who they actually were. Still think a change would be nice.

Yeah, they look pretty worn. Some of the heads even turned backwards last year because of people shaking them
Yes new fountain,heres my idea. Tare it down and rebuild it in the shape of a giant hand giving the middle finger.Pointed geographicly toward the White House with the words saying "Dedicated to our beloved President" written all over it.Beloved would be marked through with graphiti or something of course.I don't know,it just stuck in my mind like this for some reason.
Nah, the fountain shouldn't be used to make a political statement. I can't say I disagree with the message, but if the tables were turned and the fountain had a message I strongly disagreed with, I can't say I'd be too thrilled about it. Bonnaroo is for everyone and we need to respect that, regardless of whether you're a liberal, conservative, libertarian, socialist, independent, etc. I like to think that the person who I might clash with so violently in a political setting might just be the same person who I strike up a conversation with at a show and who seems to be a really cool person.
As Boots said, the last thing I'll want to be thinking about at Roo is Bush (and I don't mean the band, the shrubbery, or the good kind - those are fine by me!). Bonnaroo is going to be great because of the music, the atmosphere and the people, but it's also going to be a good opportunity to forget about the problems of the outside world for a few days and just have fun.

Change is good but I do like a symbolic and long lasting something that I can keep in my mind to think about the Roo experience for years to come. A constant would allow me to more easily do this.

I think they should have areas of Centeroo covered in that bouncy cushy playground material....it could be all different colors and it's made out of recycled tires!!! c'mon....this would be awesome!!!
I also whole heartedly back the lazy river...but realize that it could be a logistical nightmare and get pretty nasty pretty quick... if there are idiots who pee on other people's tents well....you all see where this is going...
maybe with some super strong filtration system..plus you'd have to have lifeguards...lots of them.One more thing I'd like to see would be one of those rotating observation deck things.....where you could go up like 400 feet and look out on the madness...that would be awesome, imagine that at 2 a.m. Saturday night, what that would look like !!!!
