If it rains then it rains it will be all good. Every year I just hope it's dry on the way in. Would be nothing worse then trying to get in the gate and cars are all stuck in the mud. Just get me in dry bonnaroo gods after that have your way with us
after hearing about all the heat in Tennessee in the summer a lil rain sounds nice for many reasons... as for me, as long as there's music, chill people, and some beer/water/snackies i'll be good to go.

An afternoon shower in the TN heat is a wonderful thing Although the downpour we had on the Sunday night last year was not fun. It was after dark and in a thin sundress, it was a little too cold and wet for my liking. I just don't want rain like that this year.......

boy i dont remember the rain in 05, maybe it was 04 ... i hate to get so trashed i forget a show, but a whole fest .. yikes ..cr***
The rain was never that heavy in 05' except for at night, so its pretty easy to forget. It also didnt rain the whole time, just sprinkled every now and then.

I worry that we're setting their expectations too high. Sure, Bonnaroo changed my life, made me a better person, gave me a clearer, more youthful complexion, made me more attractive to the opposite sex, cured my alcoholism (I still drink, but now I really can stop whenever I like), helped me lose weight, helped me distinguish between "effect" and "affect", gave me a better sense of humor, provided me vast personal wealth, helped me see the goodness in all beings (especially those tastey cows), and all that. But that doesn't mean it will do that for everyone. If we set peoples' expectations too high, don't we increase the likelihood of them being disappointed? I don't mean to be overly negative, but what if (god forbid) it rains?
I was a newbie last year. all Bonnaroo did for me was show me the meaning of life and granted me wisdom vast enough to disprove a bunch of Stephen Hawkings' silly theories. child's play, really
mmmm rain. rain good. but just a light rain that lasts a while.

well one commonality that everyone on this message board has is that you all had great experiences at bonnaroo. and another is that we all enjoy having great experiences on the internet too.

Karma! Swamp butt must be related to trench ass and monkey butt. Bonnaroo seems to give these nasty gifts to many. Thanks imsquare17 for the advice on using protection.
canexplain- remember all the mud poeple at ws94? they could go wherever they wanted! it was like they had a forcefield around them! must have been nice untill they were shivering for 2 days. there was so much mud that people tied plastic 2-litre bottle crates to their feet just to walk around. ah, good times.

Hey I am stoked for this concert.....I'm travelling almost 3000 miles so that I CAN have sex in the rain, play in the mud, use baby wipes to have a shower, and eat nothing but funnel-cakes for 4 days......that list is incredible! My friends think I'm wacked though ;D That's why I'm not bringing them! I'm a Roo virgin....but not for long Bring on the stank ;D
I hate to say it, but I missed WS 94. I couldn¡¦t believe I went to the first one, and the last one, but missed the middle one .. I drove from Denver to los cabos and if you have ever done that, there are places where you have to wait for the gas stations to get their daily gas. And you really don¡¦t have a choice to go to the next town in some areas because it is too far (if I would have thought about it, I would have brought an extra gas tank, but my little mr2 was packed to the gills as it were) so there was a couple of times thru the trip (3 weeks) that I had to wait up to two days to get going again. That made it too late for me to get back to Denver and head back out for the show but I did see the video and I am jealous of missing that one cr******
Newbies need not worry. The bands will deliver. It will rain (always does), but people make the best of it.
Heck, the only thing that I've ever been disappointed in was when my friend bought something from some guy and it wasn't what he said it was.. *cough*vague statement of the day*cough*
Sans that, my only worry is not having super cool neighbors, because thus far we've had some pretty awesome ones each year.

this new rain at shows thought reminds me of the craziest concert ive seen in regards to rain.
roger waters up at montage mountain in pennsylvania.
anyone else there ? it was in July or August of 99.
i was.. and what you described is exactly what went down.... overall it was a great show & great night
but i was at the roo for the rainstorm of '04, and there's a big difference -
the mud. ankle deep mud that goes on for as far as you can walk.
realizing you were going to be caked in mud for the next 48 hours.. and once deciding that was okay, getting back to your tent to find it flooded! haha..
then again, any situation is what you make of it.. and if you could hang for that monsoon in 99, i'm sure you'll be in good spirits no matter what the weather gawds throw our way

sweet.. what a small world that someone on this board was actually there! the funniest thing about the concert was that i went with my boss.. and his wife would only let him go with me and my friend (two 16 year old chics at the time) if he took along his young son.. who was in 7th grade! anyway.. that kid mustve had such a wild time. altho he was pretty mad when the dry tie-dye t shirt we bought him got wet and bled through and consequently stained his khaki shorts. oh and when he left the window open in the car.. and had to sit in a wet seat for the 5 hour ride home.
Last year was my first time, and as we were driving in, I thought to myself, "I hope I didn't pay $200 to end up stuck here with these people and not enjoying it."
On Friday morning, me and the other first-timer in the group were walking back to camp with our breakfast gyros and planning for next year.
Hi Guys - I'm a veteran concert-goer and camper, but this will be my first Bonnaroo. I am incredibly pumped and looking forward to adding to the positive vibe.

Sweet, welcome to the board.
I'm a first timer too and this board has me more psyched than ever about going.
If you are worried about us newbies, do an act of random kindness. See someone looking a little lost (it could be me. I havent been to a concert in 20 years) ask if you can help. Enough people do that one time and the newbies will be comming back in droves.I already am comming back. I'd have been going all along if I knew about it.

But see, how can you really give good directions? Just point someone to centeroo you mean? because I dont care how long you have been to roo I would think you can always get turned around and have campsites that all look alike?
