Howdy all you Bonnaroosters! We are heading in on Thursday at 7:00am'ish... hope to be set up by 9:00 or so, and I'd like to go over to Shakedown and get an early start on my shopping
Is Shakedown a possibility this early in the festival? Is everyone set up yet?
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

I didn't even realize shakedown ever left the farm!!!! But seriously, I've gotten there Wednesday night before and it seemed like people had been partying for days already!

Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

somewhat related story....
a much younger me and friends found the only spot to camp at a vibes concert. It was raining hard and the ponds forming. We set up basically on top of our neighbors. Later that night we realized the bustle was, we had camped on Shakedown.
Noobie mistake..... ha ha, One of the best shows and camp I been to.
we always get into line about 4 a.m. and get in about 5:30 - 6 and everyhting set up by 8. I grab 2 beers and walked to the beginnings of Shakedown last year and was golden by 10.
Shakedown is an omniscient omnipresent entity that cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons, Kind of like Keith Richards.
yeah, good thing. im going shopping early this year... last year there were issues, but i think this year, i'll try to get the saleperson's attention better.

This is my first time at roo. Can someone please explain what shakedown is? I've read on these boards how great it is, but i'm not sure WHAT it is!!!
*So Excited!* ;D
It's a place where artisans and other merchants sell their wares... except everyone there is quite "interesting". Think of it as half marketplace, half zoo.
ok so if you want to find shakedown...do you just ask other people there?
while there are certainly many different strategies and approaches, in all honesty every festival i've been to shakedown has found me within the first hour or two of arrival.

ya its hard to miss but ive heard of people missing it. and i think most of those were there and didnt realize it. if you go to the rainbow arch entrance for centeroo and ask some people they will point you there. its not hard to find. but it would be nice if they marked it on the map they giveout.
Having a map last year would have been nice... the parking guy only gave us one, and my friend took it. I didn't find another one until Sunday afternoon. Then, I lost it.
