I just wanted to take a minute to bask in the awesomenss that is Thursday night. I love that feeling after the drive, setting up camp, trying to sleep for a few hours even though your way to excited and it way to f'n hot. Then finally doing the march to centeroo, checking out everything along the way, perhaps making some purchases, and then finally getting inside and letting the 4 day party officially begin.Someone was talking about not showing up til Friday and people were advising them on not to miss Thursday and I think thats a great message to spread around to those of you new to the community or new to Roo, Thursday night is the coolest.
Thursday was great, this year... I missed Thursday in 07, and was busy partying in 06, but the concerts and Galifianakis were all awesome.
First chance to check if anything has changed... What I like to do when I get to Roo is put up my stuff, get camp situated, chill for a bit, acquire some things, then go walking around the camp grounds for an hour or so. Then head back to camp, chill, then get ready to catch whatever show you wanna see on Thursday night.
Bad thing is, I'm usually DEAD tired on Thursday night... that's when I like to nap in front of the comedy tent.
That's the great thing about living only 30 minutes away from Roo. I can get there early, set up and be well rested Thursday.
Thursday is one of my favorite days. There's so much excitement, people are energetic and happy and the shows have been getting better and better. Thursday in '07 was amazing. RodyGab put on one of the best shows of the weekend.
Thursday's great because there's that buzz in the air - everyone's been eagerly anticipating Roo for months, and it's just like "wow, it's finally here". Even though it's only a half day, there's something very special about it.
As for napping in Centeroo, well, I've never done it, but I think I'd be too afraid of missing an anticipated set. I'm a really deep sleeper and sometimes I'll plan to take a 40 minute nap, and not wake up for like 3-4 hours.
Thursday is great, for all the above mentioned reason. The energy around the campsites are awesome. I also love the random shouts of "Bonnaroo" that happen as everyone is setting up camp on Thursday. I would never miss the feeling of Thursday on the farm.

Thursday night is my fav night in terms of Roo atmosphere.
Just don't over do it on Thursday. People are usually over amped on this day more than the others.
Agreed. One of the saddest things I saw all weekend was some kid who had waaaay too much corn and was getting carried away to the medical tent at like 8 o'clock on Thursday last year. I do wish I'd done more activity wise though - I only saw like two and a half shows plus Zach Galifianakis.
Thursday night is always awesome. I'm excited to be there and I love how the shows are all in the evening (not to mention, some great acts play Thursday). People who miss Thursday are really missing part of the festival

Last year we got there between 3 and 5 Thursday afternoon, and spent the rest of the day looking for corn, and coulnd't find ANY, so I was naturally bummed. This year I'd like to show up on Thursday night, but it looks like I may have an RV, so worrying about where I'll be camped at won't bother me.

THIS.
thursday is a blast...just a big party once you get your camp set up, then relax until the shows start. i'm getting excited just thinking about it. i forgot how much the time between buying your ticket and the actual festival sucks...
Thursday night was great. My friend and i were takin it all in walking around centeroo at night. Nothing was going on at the Which Stage so we sat on the ground and packed a nice 'cob of corn' and then went to see a show at another tent. At the show i realized i didnt have my corncob on me. So we went back to the which stage and was looking where we were sitting, trying to find it using a lighter to light up the ground. No Luck. Then these dudes walk bye and lent us the flashlight they had on the top of one of their head, and then i Found it right away! As we were celebrating, someone walked bye and wondered what the excitment was, we explained and then he joined in the celebration as well.

Thursday overall was my favorite day just bc it was my first day at roo, my first shows, first everything and the energy/excitement was so high for everyone there.
Love Thursday...goona be so amazing this year. World Cup qualifier two days ago in C'bus, gf and I were braving the elements and the fans from Mexico (very happy folk), told her exactly four months from now we'll be on the road!!!

Last year on Thursday I did all the stuff I never do. I rode the Ferris wheel for the first time, hit up the silent disco, and just kind of cruised around. Eventually I left Lez Zeppelin, and ended up in a hammock listening to DSO. I woke up about 6 and felt wonderful ;D .

I couldn't have said it better myself. That was poetic almos :-[t. Karma for you!

i wasn't able to arrive at roo till friday last year, and as such, i was immediately immersed in all the madness (of course i still had an amazing time). so this year i'm totally psyched about arriving early on thursday, and having some time to absorb things and gear up.

rod y gab thurs 07 was total madness......inside that tent was rockin sox off. When the show was over and we hit that cool tennesee air, and we just collapsed and laid on our backs trying to grasp the badassness of what we had just done......ah sweet memories.......sweet BONNAROO memories!
