I was all worried about money before, because I'm hoping to swing by Cedar Point after Bonnaroo with my group, which adds a good bit to the price, and I owed about $900 on my credit card that needed to be paid off before June (when my 0% intro APR ends). But I paid off the card and got my tax refunds (2 years' worth for my state ones, since I didn't do it right last year and ended up not filing - MD state taxes are horrifically confusing and complicated - I fixed it for this year though woo) and now all is well, I think. I've already bought my tickets, and I've got about $500 right now, plus a month's worth of work between the end of the semester and Bonnaroo, plus any birthday gifts I might receive next week. So phew it's all good now.
Anyway:
- $290.50 total for my ticket and my gf's (Early Bird) - ~$100? for my share of the gas from Columbia, MD to Bonnaroo (I don't remember how much we spent on gas last year) - a few hundred $ spending money (food, souvenirs, etc. etc.) - $10 for a camp chair - $100 perhaps for a good sunshade if I can't borrow one from my friend - $40? for decent mud boots - $20 for an air mattress - $10 maybe for a supply of baby wipes (BJ's memberships are useful)
Stuff we already have: - tent(s) - sleeping bags - tent fan ($12 at Walmart) - shade tarp(s) for the tent(s), to be borrowed from my friend hopefully - CD flag-esque thing (mentioned on another thread - I still need to make this actually)
I should have kept track of how much I spent last year. Hmm. Although I guess that was made harder by the fact that my trip buddy repaid me for his ticket by paying for most of the gas and food and whatnot.

So far my expenses are just the two tickets and then another $250 for the hotel. Yes I know..I am a wimp and I am totally missing out on the experience by not camping. I need to take baby steps and hopefully this will be the first of many Bonnaroo's to come. So next year perhaps we will do the whole camping thing.

*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

Thanks... Where in NC? I've lived in Asheville and Raleigh.
We have a lot of camping / outdoor gear but we bought two things that were must haves based on posts here (on var. threads): a portable instant erect hammock and a portable shower shelter from Walmart. Priceless items. Also, I'm still gonna need a financial counselor when it's over
