I liked the technology available to connect us losers stuck at home with the bonnaroo experience. I don't know if it made it more difficult/unbearable to be getting practically on the spot updates all the time, but it sure did bring a smile to my face more often than not

My Morning Jacket.
And the weather was great, too. Even the rain on Friday night was perfect (so well-timed with the mmj show, and the band was totally embracing it..."yeah.....let it rain, it feels quackin' awesome!")

Everything! I mean, I had a great time last year, but this year was really over the top!! I've seen that alot of you were bothered with frat boyz and stuff, but seriously, nothing but happy hippies over in Camp Thunderlips!
i liked that it rain, it cooled off alot. i liked our campsite and our spot it was awesome 10 min. away from centeroo and 2 from the porta potties and the water spout things. and i liked the ppl i went with!
1) my flower watering can for a shower. I'm cool with the heat, cramped quarters, dirt, and smells, as long as I can take a shower each morning. 2) Jack Johnson. I'm not a fan, but performance was awesome--effortless, and he had the crowd like no other performer I saw. 3) all inclusive music acts. There was something for every musical taste. 4) the free breakfasts and hair cut at the Baptist tent... and the Baptists were pretty cool and laid back 5) the quick in and out time on Thursday and Sunday (about an hour for each) 6) Radio Bonnaroo 7) Battles, Mason Jennings, Scissorsmen, that Ian dude at the Solar Stage on Sunday, Jack Johnson, Pearl Jam, Swell Season 8) the AMAZING sound and video at the What Stage 9) the good people 10) hippie chicks

The wristbands are cool, I like the new style, I can keep mine along with my ticket for my collection.
The taxi carts. I didn't see these last year, they were a pretty cool thing if you were in a hurry.
Back Door Slam, nuff said.
Inforoo camp was cool, it was neat to meet some of you guys! Cheers to you Rex, one the coolest people I met, I hope to see you at festivals in the future!
And lastly the B'roo'ers tent, I spent a good 20 minutes there between each show, I love my Sweetwater Blue. I plan to stop in Georgia on the way home next year and bring some home with me!
has the what stage always had the row of speaker towers in the middle of the field? i don't remember them last year. i was 3/4 of the way back during pearl jam and the sound was incredible.
Ok, so since getting back I've been venting. Some stupid BS took place on the way to and on the last night of Roo. BUT, let me speak on what I liked (which outweighs what I disliked by a mile) :
Shows were really good.
I liked how fewer people there were. The What stage was much more easy to utilize this year than in previous years. If we could cap it at 60-65k each year, I'd be really happy.
I noticed allot of friendly people along with the idiots, so that's a plus. Met allot of cool ass people at Wal Mart and Roo.
Weather. Great weather, except for Saturday, but that goes without saying.
My group was even more prepared than last year, so we were content the whole time.
The fact that Robert Plant said "See you soon" to the Roo audience to close his and Krauss' set... hmmm. ( )
The acts were really good. We had never heard of Ozomatli, but they put on a great show. Pearl Jam was awesome and the comedy tent rocked again this year. The big difference for me this year was that I worked for a few hours in a beer tent each day so I didn't have to pay to get it. That was WAY cool.
I only live about 15 minutes away, so we just went home each night and showered and slept in my big bed so I would be well-rested for the next day, except for Sunday (F*** Kanye).

The weather was great. The new friends I made are awesome. The VIP mound (which we nicknamed the "Vulva") was awesome, way better than the bleachers! The bathroom attendant in VIP that wore a Redskins jersey all weekend cracked me up every time I went over there. The food in VIP was better than last year, especially the baked chicken. I loved seeing wide-eyed metalheads looking around and saying "this is the coolest fucking place in the whole world!" before they even got into centeroo. The lineup was fantastic. All 3 headliners showed up to play their hearts out, but I think the non-headliner lineup was the best yet, especially with Plant and Krauss. They were amazing.
id have to say my favourite show was probably disco biscuits, les claypool, and widespread panic.
disco biscuits because we stayed after MSTRKRFT and got the heady spot in front and stayed through the entire thing and even got to cheer them back onto stage to play for us.
les claypool because he played a wonderful set list as well as he was very animated to me and the sound was wonderful for the which stage seeing as willie nelsons sound was kind of weak after.
widespread panic was just fun because our entire camp site went to the show together and we had a fun time all kickin it watchin them play.
the ferris wheel was very fun as well and i was glad to ride it this year.

I liked it all "except the fountain design". Everything was good, meet some really nice people, didnt meet or see any jacka$$es. It amazes me every year, that you can put that many people in one place and everyone gets along "from what I see". Im not in the campgrounds so I dont see that part of it. food was great, music was great, Im now a big fan of Gogol Bordello live, Im a metalhead at heart, but I can tell my tastes are changing, Jack Johnson was good, Sharon Jones was Killer, Mastadon shook loose my insides. Mike Farris, always a killer show. Id give my overall experiance a 98, plus you can dance to it.

i loved everything... but specifically - i randomly ran into the same guy that i danced with at vampire weekend at the raconteurs. we were right next to each other and got to be dancing buddies again - i just thought it was wild.
Weather was better except for the rain. My neighbors were all fantastic. I liked the wrist bands. I liked the Fuse barn... comfy and convenient. I got to reconnect with an old, true friend. I had a way better time this year and miss it terribly. Bonnaroo is magical.
