Oh my god......Lord T & Eloise ROCKED it...and I dragged my neighbors to the show and they had a blast....plus my little sister met Lord T on shakedown and he kissed her hand.
My other favorite was the vibe during Yonder Mountain String Band, they were AMAZING and it was such a beautiful day. The hyped up kids playing frisbee and soccer made me smile too....everyone was getting their AWESOME on...I even did a few 40 yard dashes across the green grass for good measure.
we were lucky enough to be camped right by the jesus tent. the first time i went by there i expected it to be full of over-zealous nuts, but all the people in there were actually really chill and helpful. i got free coffee and fruit every morning, plus they let my neighbors use their laptops to check email, and charge their phones up. it was very cool.
i also loved the latenight dance parties along shakedown, right near the one vendor with the massive sound system.
I like the fact that when people ask me what my favorite show was I can't give a simple answer. I thought so many of the performers really put their hearts and souls into their shows and you could just feel it. Neighbors were great, weather was great, shows were great, I'll be in withdrawal for quite some time ;-(

I liked that Lez Zepplin was so good my sister and I both ran into Centeroo thinking all the Led Johnson rumors were true. Those ladies are amazing.I caught the last 3 songs and by far it was one of the best sets of the weekend.

There was so much to like this year. MGMT and Battles killed it on Thursday night. We stationed people at the Which Stage all day on Friday so we could all see what we wanted and come together at Willie at the end of the (first part of the) day. MMJ. I started the "one more song" chant at ZPZ and it worked. Check out Dweezil's blog tinyurl.com/52qkbc Saturday night Pearl Jam made me change my mind about Bonnaroo headliners and Kanye was kind enough to disrespect all of his fans so that I could see all of Ghostland (being facetious here) and still catch the beginning of his set to remind myself why I am not a fan. Sunday was chill enough so that I could get my hair washed and still see four shows. The weather was phenomenal, the food we cooked rocked and for the most part the people who came to our camp site in need brought things to trade instead of begging. What a good time.
Lez Z -- awesome time. So much heart and they just rocked so hard!!! Swell Season -- great energy in that room, even if Glen was distracted by Claypool's set at times. (Especially "Into The Mystic") Newton Faulkner -- he's just a guy you want good things for. Great set. Had never heard him before. Pearl Jam -- 'Nuff said, though I should add how shocked I was to be able to get stage-front after only waiting a song or two. Why would anyone leave?!?!? (And my heart goes out to those poor souls waiting to get stage-front for Kanye before PJ even started. They REALLY didn't deserve what they got.) Comedy Tent -- the performances that I saw (DeRosa and Louis CK) were only average but the improvement that Superfly's made in the whole process was awesome. I still didn't take advantage of the take-a-number option and was able to get in on "standby" -- once I figured out the proper line to stand in!!!!
I'm assuming that there is another outlet on here for the cons of this year's event? (No reason to post a link, I'm sure I'll find it!!!)
It was my first roo and I wish I saw more of the late night shows (Disco Biscuits/Tiesto... fun stuff!!!) but I LOVED Sigur Ros, Gogol Bordello, and Battles!
