"Our first move in that regard will be to put in power," Capps said. Generators have powered Bonnaroo since 2002, but installing electricity in time for the 2009 festivities will make it easier to do everything from staging events to ensuring the safety of attendees, particularly at night.
Also desirable, though by no means inexpensive, Capps said, would be the addition of running water, bathrooms and showers on-site.

nice article. I like his justification of Metallica at the end.
"Look at an act like Metallica," he said, talking about the loudest and arguably biggest band to play the festival yet. "On the surface, some people will say, 'They're different from our core.' But if you look at their fan base and their ethos, it's really similar to what Bonnaroo is about — musicians who have a deep, grass-roots connection to their fans."

Good article, and I like the sounds of some of the stuff they're working on. I don't like the idea of paved sidewalks/paths though. Especially not when you think of having real bathrooms, electricity, AND pavement. I like roughing it, y'know? But whatever, it's all good.

I have mixed feelings on that. I like the roughing it aspect as well. But if they do install things like paved roads and bathrooms, you know they're going to do it with style.

Paved roads kinda sounds bad, but, I dunno... the dust was kind of ridiculous last year. If they pave a few main roads that the trucks and gators will be driving on then you really wouldn't even notice.
Personally I would go with a monorail tho.
But, seriously, waking up in a 95 degree tent at 800 am and still enjoying the rest of the day is enough to get ur roughing it cred from me.

I liked roughing it, but I could def. go for some power just for charging camera batteries & such. We popped two fuses in our car and ran the battery down with a power inverter that went awry.
Thankfully a friendly neighbor Rooer jumped us off.
