This thread is great. I gotta mention I am the master of pooping. I can poop anywhere, anytime, in any conditions, and be totally at peace with myself. I even had a good experience at Sigur Ros, with a friend(well next door, not together). We both heard Sigur Ros, did the business, and got out of there.
On the opposite end of the poop spectrum, I knew a guy who only went once a week. I asked him how he dealt he said he just took one monster during the week, his day was wednesday.
My problem in 07 wasn't not being able to go,it was not being able to stop. On Saturday I went something like 7 times( beer + greasy food). And centerroo after dark is a bad place to find a clean potty or TP.
I would def reach for that $50. Even if I just saw the corner of it buried under a mound of processed arepa, I would grab it. I would also wash my hands (and the bill) for 10 minutes after, but whatever...

Heh, nice. Before the show I was worried about having to use the bathroom mid-set. But then I remembered about the rock I had just tripped on and realized I wouldn't have to worry about any bodily functions for awhile.

In three years of roo's I've only pooped once. The first 2 years I didn't have to. Last year it caught up with me, I had to go at night, like 330am and went in one of the handicapped Porto's and just went for it. I have major stage fright when it comes to going to the restroom anywhere other than my own house. It reall sucks sometimes.
I've been to 3 Bonnaroo's and I can only remember pooping once...it was either Friday or Saturday morning and it was one of those poops that wakes you up doubled over in pain. The funniest thing was while I was waiting in line, I saw my friend 10 port-a-potties down making the same face I was making and also holding a roll of toilet paper. I ate pretty lightly the rest of the weekend.

I found that if you don't plan the poo it works better. Say if you happen upon a group of portas that aren't full and the one you go in is clean... you wait around however long it takes to push out a duke. I say duke it while you can, but if you don't have the right opportunity don't worry about it. I never went the 2 at last years roo but I did at the first one I was at.

I thought this might be a problem, for me. But my first Sonic Chili Cheese Dog experience late Wednesday Night, early Thursday morning pretty much took care of that problem.
it's not that big a deal really. if you can, let captain duke free early in the morning after the soup truck cleans the johns up. still relatively cool out, no rush from lines, and a minty fresh smell! then again, i work in construction and know all about porta's
interesting tidbit, the porta's in washing are made by a company called "honey bucket"... when i did some work up there recently, i doubled over laughing when i first saw that!
I have to say, the best poop is the one you take after you leave roo as you stop at a gas station or cracker barrel after your first real meal and a cup of coffee on your way home. Nice clean (compared to a porto) bathroom, tp, and air conditioning...aahhh.
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!

This^^
Thats why I keep a stack of clorox wipes and tp and a headlamp...scope out each one and then Hit it good when you find the nice clean porto!

QFT. Just wait until the feeling hits you, head to the jon, and as soon as you hit the seat you'll be done and feeling loads better.

I don't see how that differs from my daily routine.....

My best advice is to go for a bonnapoo whenever you find a clean-especially just cleaned porta. And like everyone else has said, baby wipes, clorox wipes (but don't mix them up) and hand sanitizer.

I've never had a problem not getting it done. It sucks, its hot, it stinks, but it's a very interesting experience.
Last year I had to go during the raconteurs, so NO tp, just my bonnaroo guide. I started reading it trying to find pages that were unnecessary. My friends waiting in line could hear me start whole heartily laughing as I used the death cab for cutie, o.a.r., and kanye west bios.

I saw a great bumper sticker yesterday on the way home from a job "I'm only speeding because I really have to poop " the only reason I swa this is because it was up high on the back window of a jeep . Laughed so hard a little pee came out .
I can't even fathom how you all go all weekend without poop. Some people meditate to relieve stress and all, but I think pooping is the best way. I poop whenever I need to man...

I know porta-potties suck, but you just gotta do it. You could make yourself sick by not going. There's a reason it's coming out, and your body needs to be relieved, so don't be discouraged if people are outside. Everyone does it... it's human. If you have a problem with sitting on the seat, just lay paper on the seat and sit, and just get it over with. It sucks in the heat cause the smell gets bad, but just think, you'll be done soon, you'll feel better and then you can walk outside and escape the smell. There's nothing better than the feeling of having a good cycle going on and getting rid of the bad toxins. Who cares if the people outside are being rude. They're probably being rude cause they gotta go number 2 real bad as well, so just do it, and then let em go after you with a big smile on your face... It would also be hilarious if you walked out and said, "I feel five pounds lighter!" haha ^^^(quote from Next Friday)^^^

I agree w/ filthy McNasty. It's gotta come out. I work in the medical field and I have seen many fecal impactions turn into perforated colons which requires surgical intervention. My advice is to bring some latex gloves, clorox wipes, and baby wipes. Do the deed when it calls your name. I'll be bringing some boxes of latex gloves to share. It'll be contribution to the 'Roo in addition to some good vibes

Exactly... avoid the situation if it's going to harm you... hmmm... make myself sick and/or have to get surgery or hmmm, I should crap and feel much better, and continue having a good time...
To preface this, i have a really horrible poop story. I was at coventry and after 2 days without pooping (and drinking jack daniels and fungus poisioning) I had to really really drop a deuce between the 1st and 2nd set. So i went running (like cheech in that one movie) towards the portajohns and i start yelling "I need TP cause my ass is about to explode". Some guy in a cow costume handed me part of a roll . To this day I wonder if he was real or not.
Anyway, splashback. No joke, and it isn't / wasn't funny.
Fast forward to the day afterwards I was wandering around and I met a couple of hippies who pretty much lived out of a 5th wheeler. They bring a extra tent, a bunch of garbage bags (preferably black ones), a 5 gallon bucket, a toilet seat and TP. Tada poop tent. All you need to do is doublebag the bucket, make sure your toilet set fits the bucket (which reminds me i have to do that) and be somewhat near a garbage can.
I know you feel dirty walking a bag of poop to a garbage can, but trust me its better then having Hepatitis X.
