Showers hosted by Garnier Fructis Want to make sure you are keeping fresh for the length of your Bonnaroo stay? No worries! With the help of Garnier Fructis, Bonnaroo will feature showers throughout the campgrounds. Designated areas will have shower facilities available for a small fee. Garnier Fructis will be providing shampoo and conditioner at each of our locations to enhance your experience.
Additionally, be sure to stop by the Garnier Fructis tent located in Centeroo to relax, get styled, and pick-up free samples! Our Bonnaroo Map, which you will receive as you enter the festival, will help you find these areas, as well as many other exciting amenities provided for our fans.
~~~ Well, now the showers are corporately sponsored.... but at least it sounds like we're getting some free shampoo.
showers are for the weak! seriously if you have time to shower at roo your not doing things right. pretty soon we will be going into the charmin porta potties. and we could be camping in camp pepsi, ford, and mcdonalds soon ;D
its the same showers they had last year, just corporately sponsored. i hope they stock the VIP showers. that shampoo makes me smile, it smells like apples.....
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!

...for a fee....
Personally, I plan on taking advantage of the free VIP showers, if for no other reason than to remove the stench of the ninja scum I bump into at the masquerade...

the best way to combine getting clean without missing any part of bonnaroo...
the silent SHOWER disco!!
seriously think about it, you get a big room with a bunch of shower heads and washing accessories, and get a bunch of waterproof headphones, and everyone showers together while listening to their headphones and boogeying down! and everyone can even SING in the shower without interrupting anyone else!!
i would definitely clean myself if this was an option ;D

I def plan on showering a few times. I'm not one for staying filthy for too long. It'll be a refreshing way to cool off. Nothing wrong with a little Fructis in your life!
I didn't go last year but in 05 the shower facilities were pretty lame and there were very few of them so it didn't make sense to walk a long distance and waste all that prescious time just to pay someone so I can take a shower. But if these shower facilites are closer and better made I may just take advantage of them. Sorry, I like being clean. Another thing is that cleanliness seems to work out better when hittin on the ladies.
"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made." Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), The Soul of Man Under Socialism
"You're either on the bus or off the bus." Ken Kesey
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Hunter S. Thompson
One thing to keep in mind.. if you shower and are clean, the folks who arent(90 percent of folks at roo) will smell a lot worse, including those ladies you plan to hit on!
uhh, i think any form of community showers at roo would turn into a giant game of "whos in my mouth"
not that there's anything wrong with that
but seroiusly, they did have showers last year and when i walked by 'em everyone was showering with some kind of clothing on, so its not like you'd -have- to get naked
edit: i should've mentioned, all the showers already were community, there's no curtain you get to hide behind...

Even if i'll be sweaty right after my shower, even so, I plan on showering. Everyone makes it sound like you're not a true Roo-er if you shower, but some of us want to make that personal choice! It's my perogative to take a shower once over these four days; does that make me less interested in the music, people, or atmosphere at Bonnaroo? No offense to anyone on this thread at all, it just makes me sad that showering at Bonnaroo will make you look like less of a "real" Roo-er.
I've been to every roo but one and I wash twice a day once in the AM and once as the sun goes down. Feels good to be cool and clean. And the troughs are FREE! You're still part of Roo if your semi clean.

It's not like anyone's saying they won't clean their bodies the entire time...they are just saying they won't pay $10 for water to run over their bodies just to get dirty in 5 minutes. There are other options to get clean other than pay showers!

it's a symbolic gesture. yes, we realize that showering can make you feel better, but the act of not showering serves to remind us of the bullsh-t things that we have to do in our daily lives that we -throw away- because they don't matter at bonnaroo!
for example, if they provided internet access, would you check your email/surf the web? do you keep your cell phone on all the time and answer calls during bonnaroo? while its your call whether or not you want these, you'd be amazed how good it feels to NOT be chained down by this kind of sh-t.
what i'm trying to say is that one of the best things about going to bonnaroo is all the crap that we have to do on a daily basis in the real world we are free of here, and the reason why we joke about not being a 'real roo'er' if you shower, is because you're missing out on that incredible feeling of liberation.
edit: vv this too vv

I like to shower at like 5 a.m. when I came back and everything for the day is over with, then go to sleep, it's wonderful, you feel quite refreshed when you wake up in the morning

I wonder if the showers are for anytime or only in the morning only like described elsewhere on this forum. Well, I went ahead and bought one of those shower/ privacy tents because I like to wash my hair after the sun goes down. Also I was gonna use it as a place to go potty in the middle of the night rather than hike to tim-buck too to take a leak. I think I will still keep the tent and use it even if the showers end up being available at anytime. I don't want to take a chance.
If you shower everyday it takes away from the gloriousness that is your first shower when you leave Roo. Everyone knows the best shower they ever took was the first shower home from Roo
