Yes, you heard that right, after threatening to do it for years, I've finally retooled the infamous Bonnaroo Survival Guide! I've prettyied it up a bit so that it doesn't look like something that crawled out of 1997, tweaked the content a little, put a link to a nice printable pdf version, etc. It's the same place it's always been; www.poorvin.com/roo/ so enjoy! I've tried to check that the links work and the text is correct but I've been staring at it for so long now I don't really see it anymore, so if anyone would care to look it over for any glaring mistakes (and let me know rather than just laughing amongst yourselves), I'd appreciate it!
Leo! I hope this means maybe you'll be on the farm this year?
I hope the "Dr is in" this year.....
I hope to be there too, things are still a little up in the air, but this would be 6 in a row so I'd hate to break the streak. I don't have a tix yet, anyone have an idea of how fast they're going? I figured w/ Phish headlining they'd sell quickly.
Leo! I hope this means maybe you'll be on the farm this year? ;D
i'll have to go over the guide when i'm not so sleepy, but i'm sure it's great!
I met Leo last year at Dawn of the Dads it was almost like meeting corncat in person. I said it then, and I will say it now the Guide saved my life the first time I went to Bonnaroo.
THere is onething that I found on some random thread that saved my stuff and the stuff of about five other people around me, that might be usefull to others. I put all the stuff in my pockets (walet, phone) in a ziplock bag. Not only did it make security easier but at MMJ when it rained the whole time nothing got messed up. I also had a trashbag in my backpack and when it started raining I put my bag and the bags of several of my new found freinds in the trash bag. They all stayed dry for the whole show.
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!

That's a great addition! I've been doing that since '04 when my map turned to pulp but never thought to include it in the guide. It'll go into the next revision (maybe later tonight).

Leo, the reason I am on this board
I wouldn't have even known where to start last year if it weren't for your guide.
This saved my hide my first roo!!
Thanks everyone, it really feels good to know that the guide has helped people out.
Yes, this guide save my rear my first year too. The flagpole info was so helpful. I used lightweight metal conduit instead of pvc and strapped it to my truck for support. It worked beautifully! Thanks!
so if anyone would care to look it over for any glaring mistakes (and let me know rather than just laughing amongst yourselves), I'd appreciate it!
Your guide has really helped me make some decisions. I'll try and return the favor by helping you here by pointing out some spelling and grammar mistakes.
Campsite: This is a case of cheap doesn't necessarly means bad.
Water:
The single most import thing at ‘roo.
Misc:
openener (spelling)
Other than that, I think you're pretty good. Thanks again for the guide.
Out of curiosity I just searched Google for "Bonnaroo", and the survival guide was the 4th result, after the bonnaroo.com main page, bonnaroo.com artists page, and Wikipedia page.
