i also missed sasha. it was cool at like 5-6am though when me and all my friends were sitting around the camp site coming down and all of a sudden theres a huge flux of people sooo obviously coming from a rave.
hah, our neighbors last year were perpetually "obviously coming from a rave"
nothing wrong with that, we indulged in our fair share as well, but these cats were always rolling. and the guys had brought their roo-virgin girlfriends who asked me "what it was like to smoke mushrooms"
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

funny, but i hate that kind of mis information. somebody told me that the government considers you legally insane if you consume more than 3 hits of acid in your life time.
i dont even know how to respond to those ppl, sometimes they'll listen to what you have to say, other times they're soo sure they're right that all your scientific information doesnt interest them.

uh thats not mis-information. you can smoke shrooms. it tastes horrible and takes alot(a litte less then eating. but its still hard to smoke that much). not a vary pleasent thing to do. but its something that can be done.

To me the best feeling in the world is walking around Centeroo alone Thursday afternoon, observing and savouring the surroundings.
I'm hoping some of my friends will go this year. Once the lineup is annonce, people always say that they are going, but once the time rolls around, it's always just me. Although my first year i went (05), I bought two tickets, and at the last minute one of my better friends decided to tag along. It was fun, our neighboor war super cool.
But last year, i did the roo solo, and it would've been cool if my neighboors were talkative, but they really weren't. Also, they had set up a huge shade tent plus two other tents, which left me with no room to set up mine. I tried to start a conversation with them to see if i could help them move their tents just a bit so i could have room, but was unsuccessful and was basically told "tough sh!t." Sleeping in the car sucked!!! I meet up with some freinds from the MMJ board on friday, but other than that, i had little to no communication with anyone. I am ready to go to the roo and have some people to chat with at least in the downtime.

I always do festivals alone. It's one of just two weekends a year when I am completely my own master (I try to take a retreat also), I'm not a father, a husband, a boss or a co-worker. I could not stand being there with a group and having to agree on every movement and decision. I don't pal up with many other Roo'ers, but those I do meet are always so cool. If I want to camp out in front of a stage for two hours for a great spot I can do it, or if I want to move on after the first song, I can do that too.
Solo's the only thing for me.
Colin
Yeah i do tons of stuff solo also i find i meet alot more people that way and have more freedom to adventure. My friends up here are all broke/lame/not into it and i only manage to drag em along once in awhile. But even when you're in a group you shouldnt worry so much about where everyone is at any given time, so long as everyone can take care of themselves...
I never feel "solo" at a fest though, just the traveling part and even then i've met good friends of mine... I met so many people last summer and past years i've stayed in touch with... Im actually moving to Colorado for SCI's winter carnival with my friend Joey who i met at Big Summer Classic in 05 and went to alot of shows with since... Im finally moving to CO!!!! Ok now im ramblin'

hey lucid interval, is your name a cephalic carnage referance.
No but i have gotten that several times... Its been my internet handle most places for like 8 years... Heard a little about that band, guess they have an album called Lucid Interval right?
Lucid Interval is something along the lines of: A temporary period of clarity or rational thought between two points of insanity or delirium...
I went with a couple freinds last year and since i'm legally blind I had no time to myself at all. So saturday morning I snuck off and found a spot at edge of the farm where no one was around for like 50 yards. I layed down and had the best nap ever. Of course on the way back I got lost, bought a couple beers from some guy who was trying to make some cash after losing his wallet the night before. I did'nt realize till he left that he gave me back too much change. One of my friends called me but I had no idea how to explain where I was at when the beer guy passed me again and saw I was confused and gave directions to my friend till she found me. I gave him back his change and my friend who was almost deliriuos at this point gave him a big hug.

yes, youd be correct. i dont know if your into more extreme music but you should check them out, they're all awesome guys and huge stoners with a great sense of humor that comes through in there lyrics. musicaly they are extremly technical and fast, almost sounds like total noise, you kinda have to train your ear to really understand whats going on. if your into progressive musicianship itll blow you away.
Post by Lucid Interval on Feb 2, 2007 15:01:02 GMT -5
Definately not my sound, im sure my roomate has heard them he's into alot of progressive metal and more interesting heavy stuff... I'll give it a quick listen i can definately appreciate technicality even if it gives me a headache

I see a few shows by myself every year. If I want to see someone that my friends don't I go by myself.
exactly what everyone does in my camp. its too much hassle to have everyone agree on the same act to see. if i wanna see someone, i tell everyone else i'm going, they can come with if they want to
Going to Bonnaroo with a couple friends or a big group (ive done both) is the way to do it, but i was wondering if anyone else takes some time to themselves, enjoy some music alone, just walk around and take it all in.
2005, i went to the Trey Late night show on my own, and i am real glad i did. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life. It was just me, my cigarettes, lighter and bowl, and i had eaten something yummy.... . . . . anyway im glad i did it alone. I was walkin through the crowd, and the grass turned into this comfortable black velvet, and all the cigarette butts were glowing like stars on the ground. I would stop every once in a while in the warm spots, cause it was comforting, until i saw this one guy with a shirt on with the logo of my company, so i follow him out f the crowd, and pointed at his shirt and told him it was evil. Then he asked if i had a piece, which i did, so i chilled with them for a second. It was also my first expierence with glow stick wars, and that blew me away. Near the end of the set, i was zoned out in my own world, and i open my eyes and this guy was video taping me . . . . . i wonder where that tape is . . . .
2006, i checked out rusted root on my own before meeting up with my group at Damien Marley, and Friday night i had some yummy snacks and couldnt leave mycamp site until i was ready, i was real ......full .. .. . and had some fun by myself, then checked out the rest of the Disco's show . . . not as great as the prior year, but my friends went to see Blackalicious, and i wasnt down.
anyone have any alone time stories?
that first paragraph soudns simialr to my story except I was lookign for my campsite from 2-5 in the morning and I met so many cool people that did their best to help me find my way back to my campsite. The cool part was that I never relaly got paranoid that I wasnt gonan find my site and when I found my campsite I got to watch the sun rise and it was great.
I haven't been to one since '04 (soooo excited about going this year), and I always end up going with a gang of friends and my girlfriend (you think we'd be married by now, HEY! Maybe we should get married @ Bonnaroo!!), but at Bonnaroo or any show, I'm very hard to keep track of. I like to be up front, I like to be in the crowd, which is the polar opposite of my girlfriend who likes to sit toward the back on the lawn with a blanket and plenty of space around. It's something she's come to accept, and I can always find her after the show. However, other than shows, my friends who were first timers and didn't know what to expect saw only a few shows and kept to camp (we were camped a good 20-30 minute walk from Centeroo) most of the time, wusses. I actually enjoyed the walk, walk a bit, buy a beer from a vendor, have a smoke with'em, walk a little more, buy another beer, have another smoke, take as needed. My girlfriend got tired pretty easily (we're also orginally from AR and camp avidly, so neither one of us had problems sleeping in that muggy Southern Summer in the A.M.), so all the late night festivities I had to do solo. But even then, you never do it completley solo. Always some kind people to hang out with.

Funny thing is, I have exactly the opposite problem - I'm considering going to 'roo by myself, but the thought of not having someone to hang with is kind of intimidating. Granted, once I start drinking, I turn into everyone's friend, but that leads to another problem... who's gonna flag me if I get outta hand?
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

give me your phone number. i'll call you periodicly throughout the weekend to tell you your flagged
I love going solo at bonnaroo! I Split off from my group on thursday last year to go see Electric Eel Shock, I liked being by myself so much I only saw the people I came with once all weekend!
. and the guys had brought their roo-virgin girlfriends who asked me "what it was like to smoke mushrooms"
HAHAHAHA.
funny, but i hate that kind of mis information. somebody told me that the government considers you legally insane if you consume more than 3 hits of acid in your life time.
i dont even know how to respond to those ppl, sometimes they'll listen to what you have to say, other times they're soo sure they're right that all your scientific information doesnt interest them.
Id have to say a good 99.9% of this forum is crazy
uh thats not mis-information. you can smoke shrooms. it tastes horrible and takes alot(a litte less then eating. but its still hard to smoke that much). not a vary pleasent thing to do. but its something that can be done.
ill leave it at that as we arent supposed to talk about that stuff on here.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

I would spend time with my friends (If I could find them.) or by myself at the camp site. I would just think to myself how sick life is....At least at Bonnaroo!!!!!

Colin, I couldn't agree more. For me music is very a personal thing. Only when I'm alone can I stop trying to make everyone else feel comfortable and really figure out what makes ME feel good. I've been to Roo twice solo, I always ask people to come along, but deep down I'm glad they don't. I'm 50, my kids and my wife think I'm nuts, but I LOVE it.
I stuck with my husband last year but quite a few times it was just me and him - luckily - we enjoy each others company very much and Bonnaroo is a vacation for us to spend time together. BUT - if he wants to see something that I am not interested in - neither of us would have a problem going off alone - we do at local concerts and parties anyway

I’ve been to 2 festivals: vegoose and Coachella. Both times I was with friends. This will be my first bonnaroo and the first time that I will be at a concert/festival by myself. I’m looking forward to it, and the freedom that being alone will permit, but at the same time I’m kinda sad. Yeah it’s a pain in the ass to have to converse with the group about where to go, what shows have to be missed, organize bathroom breaks, eating schedules, whom to meet where, but at the same time if you go by yourself you cant turn to one of your best buds and say “WASN’T THAT FREAKIN AWESOME!!!” I’m going to miss that…

yes but you have the choice of 79,999 other people to turn to and say "WASN'T THAT FREAKIN AWESOME!!" Im sure you'll get the same response. Ive never gone alone so I can't vouch for things like that, but I would imagine it would be hard to feel lonely at Bonnaroo
