My neighbors came back from getting ice and told me they saw this guy running at panic speed and then just stopping suddenly. He walked up to the nearest random guy and said "Are you going to chase me around this whole damn place?" The random guy just brushed the running man off and walked away after throwing a piece of garbage in the trash can. The running man dug through the trashcan and pulled the trash that random guy threw away and started examining it closely.
"Do you even know where the quack you're going? You're really bad at this."
*Some chick to the guy trying to lead her and her line of friends toward the front of the crowd pre-Kanye.*
Ha, that may have been me. I was so annoyed with my friends because the were all Roo rookies and were stepping all over people and trying to get in front of them! I was just trying to get them to stop and sit down...they sucked at picking a spot, too...haha
there was a guy standing next to us during pearl jam with a huge microphone taped to his head and a sound board looking thing in his arms. he kept lighting his lighter, checking it, making sure it was recording. it was just funny to see him standing there with microphone taped to his head like it was nothing out of the ordinary. I'd like to have that bootleg.

On the way back to camp from Centeroo a guy in a camping site on the edge of the road said to guy walking behind us, “You! You! You are just the guy we are looking for! Come here! Then he puts his arm around him and says “How’d you like to mud wrestle this chick naked? pointing to a woman in his campsite. Response, “I don’t think my wife would like it very much”. “Oh she’ll never know.” “Yes she will cause she’s standing right there and heard everything you just said”. Everyone around was laughing.
On the way back to camp on Sunday night some guy was all by himself on the edge of the campground sitting on a lawn chair saying “Happy Bonaroo to you and Kanye sucks” to every passerby.
Some guy comes to our camper and asks “Do you have any flour?” And I was racking my brain trying to think what illegal substance this stood for and asked if he meant the kind you pick and give to your girlfriend or the kind you bake cookies with? And he said the kind you bake cookies with. What an odd thing to be asking for at Bonnaroo. Most people come up and just ask for no no word.
Our neighbor in general admission RV camping yelled out to the guy driving the truck that provides the service for pumping out the waste tanks on RVs, “Hey Sh!t man, when are you coming back?” That poor dude has a bad enough job as it is without being referred to as “Sh!t Man”.
There was some old dude blowing a whistle in everybody’s ears at the mud crossing from Which Stage to the What Stage. I though he was some official trying to get through the crowd so I took a good look at him and he was just a regular old guy. He wasn’t even trying to get through. He was just blowing his whistle at everybody. What an a$$!
Monday morning around 7 am. Some old black dude was going through the camps yelling “White T-shirts- five dollar” over and over. Woke everyone up.

I was way in the back of the field for the Pearl Jam concert and in front of me was about 4 or 5 people who were all together and the Lady in front of me was obnoxiously drunk and her hippy boyfriend was standing right next to her. Well, during the first song Pearl started playing, the hippy boyfriend said "hey man, you think you can move back a little bit you're getting pretty close" And I realized he was talking about me getting to close to his girlfriend who was at least a foot and a half in front of me (which is pleasent compared to what it could have been, if you know Bonnaroo.) When he asked me this, I looked behind me and said "no." and then just ignored him. He just stared at me and I asked him where he would have preferred me to move to. And then he pointed at two places that he thought would have been great for me to move to. He said, "you can move there" and pointed at the womans feet behind me. I turned around and looked at her and she gave me a look like "don't even think about it" and then he said "or you can move there" and pointed at a vacant spot 40 feet to our right. I looked at him and said "why don't you take a few steps forward" and he looked in front of them and said "oh" and then just stood there
it was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen... and he was the only rude person I met at Bonnaroo

Chris Rock mentioned in his set about some white girls don't even watch their weight anymore, they just know they're getting fat when black guys start hitting on them. Well, Sunday going into Centeroo, we happened to be searched by a black security volunteer. He let my wife go with barely any search at all. When I got up there, while patting me down, he says "Damn, she looked good." I said thanks, then he replied that he was talking about her not me (he didn't realize she was my wife). So when I get past him I tell my wife, who had been feeling a tad insecure about seeing all these younger skinny beautiful girls running around, what he said and her face lights up and she's all like "That was sweet, that makes me feel really good." Then she remembered what Chris Rock said the night before...
I'm really disappointed that no one has mentioned me and my friend Matt who were skipping around together holding hands pre-Kanye wearing a George W. Bush mask and a Saddam Hussein mask.
If anyone saw me, after Saddam went to bed, I was the guy in the George W. Bush mask who was dancing and high fiving everyone at Ghostland/Chahli 2na/Kanye West.
Friday morning i was in the portapotty and someone pounded on my door and said, "Headies, shrooms" before i could say anything the person next to me said, "Come on in"
Also here is a phone conversation that I had with a friend that I dont remember but was told about the next day.
Me- "Hey man whats up i just got gypsy juice poured all over me and i dont know where anyone is at, in fact i dont know where im at" Friend- "Well maybe you should call them because they probably have their phones on because your missing" Me- "I have a better plan, im gonna score some mushrooms and not tell anyone about it" My friends found me in the silent disco
On the way back from a show, we saw a guy in VIP placing orange cones, glow sticks and a sign around a pile of horse poo. The sign was a warning "Don't step in the Kayne".

After one of my friends took a little too much corn. (after crying for a few minutes.) "I'm going to call my cigarette and tell it to get closer to my mouth."
We were sitting around our campsite pretty jacked up and we were somehow talking about vaginas and then all of a sudden I just yelled, "Keep those damn vaginas away from me, I'm allergic!!!" (I'm gay btw) and my friends just died laughing, it was pretty funny.
Also, while waiting for Kanye my friend was pretty out there and she started saying "I know what it is guys, Kanye up and went EAST!!!". I thought it was hilarious!
Our neighbors were 18 and at their first festival and they had never taken mushrooms before. Well about 6 hours after we talked to them about it we are sitting at our tent and hear this roaring laughter and one of the kids says, "Hey, these mushrooms must not have worked!!" and they continued cracking up, finally one says "Wait, then why the hell are we laughing like school girls!!" We were dying, it was hilarious!

i saw that too. im sure the kanye jokes will still be in full force next year.
our neighbors told us about a girl they saw passed out with her skirt high enough to show that she wasn't wearing any panties. they said some lady tried to place some paper towels over her 'bald situation' but they blew away in the wind. can anyone else verify this?
At the Panic show, in the pit, about 10" from the spotlight truss, there was a cadre of 3 or so wooks with a tank. Papa wook, as I called him due to his stark white beard and stark white hairy chest, was wearing a red head lamp and furiously filling balloons when this official looking guy walks up. With a yellow security shirt and lanyard, I'm thinking the tank is busted so I move back over to where my friend is standing.
I look back over and what do I see? The security guy is buying about 3 balloons.
--- Was riding back to Pod1 in a taxi when the cart came upon an older gent walking with his hands above his head in the typical "getting arrested" fashion. He was oblivious to the cart and didn't move to the side, just kept stumble-walking. The taxi chick starts ordering him on the ground in a typical police fashion while the entire cart is laughing historically. The kicker came when my friend pointed out that the guy was wearing sandals with only one, extra long sock.
I got the entire exchange on video, which will be posted as soon as I get it cut down.
one of my favorite parts was watching all the people in the silent disco from the outside. we stood outside for a good 45 minutes early morning right before kanye just laughing at everyone.
there was one guy who was tripping real hard and he jumped the fence and just walked into the disco. he didn't have any headphones but looked around at all the the people dancing to no music and just started dancing like he was supposed to. he kept looking around at the people to make sure he was dancing right and doing what they were doing. it was awesome!
i also had this guy run up to me and scream in my face that his girlfriend had been abducted. freaked me out a little bit but i reassured myself that i probably wouldnt have been able to do much if the guy was actually telling the truth and not just tripping balls.
Did anybody get the "Christian apologist" bottled water while they were in line?
Yes. I still have it.
Here what it said if anyone is wondering.
"If you have this water bottle, you probably got it from someone on the side of the road. We don’t want to take your time and tell you how you’re not going to heaven or something like that. As Christians, we want to apologize to you.
We want to apologize for the Crusades and tell you that we don’t think killing innocent people is from God.
We apologize for televangelists trying to take your money and then trying to scare the hell out of you.
We apologize for the Inquisition and for the raping of the Native Americans.
We apologize for Christians who bomb abortion clinics in the name of God.
Really, we apologize for misrepresenting Jesus to the world around us and tell you that the majority of things we do in “Jesus’ name” isn’t about Jesus, but more about us. Simply put, we’re sorry we’ve given you a false idea of what Jesus is like for the past 2000 years.
If you want to know more about what we’re sorry for, please feel free to email us at ninevahbound@hotmail.com. We’d love to keep sharing. Peace and love…"
