well i wrote the article and it's a true article. it's about everything but the music for point. bonnaroo is about so much more than the music.
well... since you are openly admitting that you wrote it, I won't have a problem admitting that it's probably the worst article I've ever read about Bonnaroo. I agree the Bonnaroo is about more than the music, but it is not about crack-laced cigarettes, I'll tell you that much right now.
I should also add that by ending your article with "This is Bonnaroo" you in fact prove to anyone that's been there that you really have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe this is a true story, but it is not a Bonnaroo story. Search these boards for some real bonnaroo stories. Like the one where complete strangers picked up a car full of bonna-virgins and let them camp with them for the weekend and showed em the ropes. That, my friend, is Bonnaroo.
I think the writing is well-done, but articles like that cause me to get piss-tested often at work because of its overemphasis on the druqs. Seriously, not every person on that farm is high or tripping.
Your article was well written but I feel very sad for you that you obviously missed out on the true heart of Bonnaroo, which is anything but that tragic world you described. Maybe you went into it expecting it to be like that, and so it was a self-fulfilling prophecy? Even if Bonnaroo isn't for you, I feel like you would have to try to overlook the joy that's there & has nothing to do with druqs and everything to do with community & music.
you gotta love the fact that an article on Gibson.com would not mention anything about the music. what does that say about Gibson? perhaps they'll discuss music when they visit Warped tour or Ozzfest.
by the way, that aerial shot is not from 2008. way to go.
I don't even care about the drug references, because who are we kidding here, but that article just wasn't well-written at all. You should stick to desigining web pages or something, or maybe go to journalism school...or maybe go back to journalism school, if you already went.
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
Well, I obviously struck a nerve. I think you guys are defensive for a reason. I actually very much love Bonnaroo. It was my fifth time going, but no one really wants to read the same old article about which bands played and what songs they played and how the crowd went wild when they did. They want to read the stories of the people that are there. Even if you didn't like it, thanks for reading.
Sorry, but why would you end it with a story about CRACK? Thank god thats not my bonnaroo story. Dont know I for one did not think the article was great.

I actually would love to read an article about the crowd 5 minutes after Jim James stopped melting peoples faces off...

it's hard to believe you've been to roo 5 times and you post on this board, but still managed to write a lame article like that...I've read better stories on inforoo many times.
Your saying that you overheard a conversation between a woman from Nashville (with two kids, in her 40s, mind you) that was lookin for shroom but found crack. You heard all of this.....gimme a fookin break!
This dude obviously came here for the sole purpose of pimping his article. Three posts, and they are all in this thread.
Thanks for your tremendous contribution to our board....peace!

Wow - ***shaking my head*** 5 Bonnaroos and that is all you have gotten from being there - the article shows that you have a pretty pessimistic view of Bonnaroo
What amazes me is the detailed information he had about the woman in the end story. What the hell did he do, go interview her after her unsuccessful shroom/crack buy?
?
