Waka has lightened it policy on glass this year. But that may have been to offset the police presence. Like, we will give you glass if you will shut up about the po po.
i like the glass rules. i can handle cans in exchange for walking bare foot. ive been to a couple places where i wont walk barefoot. and one of them has a no glass policy but its still everywhere. obviously people still get glass in but i think the no glass policy makes them be more responsible with it then they would otherwise be.
if everyone would just pick up after themselves and have some concern for the safety of others we would be able to have glass everywhere. but that will never happen. so no glass is the best soloution i think. at legend valley they allow glass and i have not seen any broken glass at that place. its a different and much smaller crowd there though. but it can be done!!

DUE TO HEIGHTENED SECURITY CONCERNS, ALL VEHICLES WILL BE SEARCHED UPON ENTRY TO THE PARKING AREA. SORRY, NO LARGE RENTAL TRUCKS OR BOX TYPE TRUCKS ALLOWED.
Please note that ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS BOTTLES OR CONTAINERS will be allowed into the event. All glass containers will be confiscated upon entry to the festival and no exceptions will be made. Please note that glass food containers are not allowed in any shape or form as well.
Event security / safety personal and mounted patrol will be located throughout the site for the entire duration of the event. Each guest service (pod) area in the campground has a security station. If you have an EMERGENCY, find a staff person with a radio or go to the nearest security station, information tent, medical tent, or mounted security personnel.
excuse my ignorance but are they really gonna search every car on the way in?
they say that every year. and they have done it everyyear. it basically consisits of openeing your trunk and maybe they look in your cooler. but they can and soemtimes do search a bit more.
i noticed they have a thing about not throwing glowsticks. i hope they still let hundereds at a time throught centeroo security. i havent noticed that in years past. but i could have just missed it.
also centeroo opens at noon on thursday. isnt that a few hours earlier tehn last year? again im not sure. but i thought it opened around 5 last year.

Luckily I have my trusty pocket schedule from last year and Centeroo did open at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday although no bands took the stage before 7:00 that night. Cinema tent started around 5.
ok. i guess ive enver headed that way until later in the day. also i have many memories of standing in line while the gates at centroo are not open. they actually didnt let us in on friday until after some music was playing. i have always read that centeroo is 24 but i can think of atleast 3 or 4 times that ive had to wait in a huge group of people for tehm to open up the entrance.

the entrance under the arch does close down after the late nights, and reopens before mainstage opens the next day, b/c they have to clear out the mainstage and clean it up. But Centeroo does stay open 24 hours a day, you most likely have to come in through the other Centeroo entrance in the early AM hours (I'm talking about the entrnace closer to the interstate, away from the mainstage). That entrance never closes once Centeroo opens at noon on Thursday. The only time I saw a large line at the arch entrance last year, however, was Thursday just before noon. They allow VIP access into centeroo before GA, and the crowd saw my wife and I walking around freely and they started chanting "let us in! let us in!" It was comical to say the least, considering it was still 8 hours til any music was to be played.
^^^^^^^ On a funny side note. My first Roo in 03 we got there Thursday afternoon and setup our stuff. And as most Roo virgins do, we partied. And we partied. And partied some more. Probably a little too much. But anyways, we didn't even realize that year that the main area was going to open early. We just thought it was going to open Friday. Not only that but we hadn't even seen centeroo or knew what to expect. So I stumble into Centeroo when had decided to do some drunken exploring, well I tripped out on all the crazy things they had going. Eventually I made my way back to campsite and my friends were like "Dude, where'd you go." and I explained to them what I had saw but no one believed me. They were all like, yeah suuuure dude I giant mushroom that was squirting water out the top. It was funny when they finally made it in centeroo and were like "wow dude, I thought you were just really far gone". Good times.

Gouge is correct on Centeroo being open 24 hrs after Thurs afternoon. We were camped in the RV section and entered at the gates nearest the Other Tent. Its a good 10 min walk from the arch.
ya i have seen both the arch and the one closer to 24 closed. at the same time. we went back and forth wondering why we couldnt get in. huge groups of people at each one. but this year i will continue the search if that happens. ive taken to sleeping in centeroo anyhow so i should be good.
When I tell people that the first one will always be the best it is only because there was no fence or gate between the campgrounds and Centeroo. No gates, searches, fences, or restrictions. In the words of Ben Harper, FREE FREEDOM! I have never felt so free as that weekend in 2002.
ya im against having the stage ares fenced off. once your in you should be in.. if it was a safety thing i could understand it. but its all about making money. forcing you to buy their stuff. and that sux. thats why i love smaller fests. just drag your cooler to the stage and party all night. hell you can take your ez-up to the stages at smaller fests. roo is still one of my favorite fests for the people and the fun. but its by far and away my least favorite as far as whos running it and the decisions they make. too much concern about profits.

In my honest opinion, I don't see why glass is needed in the first place. I mean, there's nothing wrong with canned beer and if you want liquor, put it in plastic bottles. I know that some beer doesn't come in cans, like the expensive type. But hey, there's nothing wrong with cracking open a cold case of Bud light cans.
well i have to disagree. i love good beer at fests. i do like the no glass rule. but only because a small portion of the people there are morons. there is a huge difference between drinking a bud light and drinking a fat tire. im the type who drinks bud light at home. im a cheap beer drinker. but at a fest i prefer to bust out "some crunchy headie dank brews brah!!" its worth the cost in that environment. but its easy to get them in and i dispose of them properly. so no biggie. but like everything else in life the few ruin it for the many.
and truthfully even if you are responsible accidents happen. 90,000 people partying means quite a few accidents, which means quite a bit of glass. even if there arent morons being morons. its a good rule. but i dont see myself following it.

GUINESS.....we go thru about a case a month around here, in addition to our other fav. drinks. It's strangely thick and mysterious. The malt flav cannnot be beat. Oh, where is my seven?

dudewheresmyroo??? How exactly does this work? I plan on bringin' my queen air bed with sheets and down comforter to sleep on, ya think I can get it into centeroo? Do they have A/C in Centeroo or something?
i dont think they would allow an air mattress. but maybe. i just take a blanket or some sheets and crash on the ground under a tree. centeroo is outdoors for the most part. put when its hot ill nap in the cinema tent, its air conditioned.
I was just teasing a 'lil bit dude... but thanks for the heads up. I am amazed that you can just lie down most anywhere and sleep. I have a hard enough time sleeping even when I have all the comforts of home.
I think I just haven't experienced that good old Bonnaroo so tired you can sleep anywhere and get right back up again for some more fun and music....
BTW I love your sig line, it makes me smile (remembering all that Dead music I've heard through the years) ....so here's one for ya'

I've driven twice to bonnaroo and both times they didn't even look in the back of our car. That being said, i'm from Canada and the international plates are a dead giveaway that we have no drugs in the car. On the other hand, the search at the border is always painful.
its worth the cost in that environment. but its easy to get them in and i dispose of them properly. so no biggie. but like everything else in life the few ruin it for the many. 
I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to...
