How I'd like to die...If everything could go my way, I'd like to have Down be the last act of the weekend. Then, I'd want Phil Anselmo to invite me on stage, where he would then rip my beating heart from out of my chest and eat it. Yeah.....
HAHA... Couldn't have said it better myself.. Karma for that sir!
Whats with people wanting to die someplace awesome that they enjoy? If I had my wish I would die in line at the DMV or waiting for traffic court. I'll stick with enjoying the cool things in life alive.

Fully agreed, I would wanna die right before something horrible happened. I wouldn't wanna die at Bonnaroo cause I wouldn't want people to be sad at a happy place. People do need to watch what they're doing though, if you know what I mean. Too much of certain things is never good. But only 6 deaths in 6 years isn't bad. Lets hope the numbers stay low.

death at Bonnaroo would be awful. I met a couple of kids at a phish show a few years back. One of them was ingesting everything he could get his hands on and ending up overdosing the next weekend (long bender). He actually had to be resuscitated with CPR and narcan. The saddest part is that I met up with him at a dead show the next year and he was doing the same exact thing.

I died at the Primus show at Rothbury last year. Woke up with tubes in my arms and a bunch of very happy people around me. They were happy because I wasn't dead. A word of advice: If you're on prozac, don't hang out with molly too much. I know it sounds obvious now, but you know how it is when you're in party mode.

But since no part of that is likely, I...wow...I'm gonna dedicate some thought to this and get back to you. This is a heavier subject than I anticipated it would be when I started this reply.

I wouldn't wanna die in the middle of my life, at a place I've been wanting to go to for the past year. That would be a bummer. Finally get there, and then croak. No no no.
I think a Zombie attack would be cool, then I would naot have to miss the music once I come back to life.
OMG, a zombie attack at roo would be the worst! Can you imagine trying to survive that? There is no where safe. There are no weapons. What if it started spreading through a crowd during a show!?
Oh no, my friend, a zombie attack at roo would be the farthest thing from cool.
On the serious side, death should be talked about more often. If we talked about it more often, we could handle it better when it happens. Also, when I think about death, I am automatically thankful for the people I have in my life that are living.

I saw plenty of zombies at roo the previous years. Most of the time they were staring blankly into the distance without blinking and an open semi-drooling mouth.

I knew I wasn''t the only one who saw them. And other people were becoming "infected" as well.

If i die at Roo...I want to be shot out of a cannon and exploded along with the fireworks at the pinnacle ending of Phish...assuming they have fireworks again

Whew... I agree, morbid topic, but l think this is something we should all think about at some point. Roo-er's are generally pretty hardy partyers as well, and we can all be at risk at one time or another.
Last year at Pearl Jam I saw a guy collapse and start convulsing, someone ran for the medics and they carried him off. I have no idea what happened to him, but I didn't see him come back and no friend of his followed him.
I myself passed out seeing NIN at Lolla last year, a combo of excitement and drinking vodka all day in the heat. Had to be carried through the suffocating crowd to the front of the stage. Made me realize that once you're in the pit, it's hard to get out if something like that happens. We can all be stupid sometimes, and sometimes our minds think we can handle more than our bodies actually can.

I'd much rather go to Roo, have a great time, go and do some more awesome, once in a life time things, and then die happy and content. You people really shouldn't talk about this stuff. I don't wanna be jinxed.

If I were to die at bonnaroo the only acceptable demise would be for the legendary giant catfish to swallow me whole as I attempted to noodle it. Otherwise I hope that someone, after my death, cuts off my limbs and uses them to administer hippie beat downs during phish. ;D
