Last night I needed to get some sleep 'cause I only had like 6 hours the night before but I couldn't doze off because I kept thinking about Bonnaroo. (I can't believe it's only a month and a half away.)
I also bought my first item for Bonnaroo, a mattress pad to put on top of my air mattress so maybe I'll sleep better so I can stay up longer for late night shows.
The sleepless nights and milling around department stores in search of "Roo Gear" have begun.
Oh yeah - I will go into a store and see something and think "I ought to buy this for Bonnaroo" or "Hey - that would be cool for Bonnaroo"
From the end of April until the beginning of June everything in dept. stores fit into two categories:
1. Useful at Bonnaroo 2. Useless at Bonnaroo
(Unfortunately most of my friends and family fit into category 2. I still love them though.)
I'm the same way. It's all year, but it gets really bad when the lineup comes out. I just made my first trip to Gander Mountain the other day. I go almost once a week just to look at the camping stuff. I don't even really need anything. I just love looking and maybe coming up with a way to use some of the stuff I dont have. lol

You could hijack a hot air balloon and descend into the crowd during Phish's late night Friday show. But then you would miss Thursday's shows so scratch that.

If you did this, I would totally let you borrow my time machine once you get there so you could catch Thursday's shows.
I never thought I'd be so excited about visiting a sporting goods store as I was this last weekend. We picked up a 5 day cooler and will be filling it excitedly every chance we get.
I had a dream that instead of a tent/EZ up combo, we brought a 14' trampoline with an enclosure and put a tarp over the top. It was the best/most dangerous idea my subconscious ever came up with.
The countdown's begun, for sure. Luckily, there's a slew of great shows I'm going to between now and June 11 to keep me from thinking about Roo too much

got my truck bed tent and air mattress the other day. woke up this morning and the first thing i thought of was that I need to buy a compass so I can tell which direction the sunrise will be.

Hey that's not a bad idea. If it wouldn't be such a b!tch to get the trampoline frame to Bonnaroo that would make a great tent.

I have this same obsession. We don't have a Gander Mtn, Bass Pro, or REI in Pgould.... All we have is our little WalMart, but I hit up the camping isle every time we are there (at least once a week). I usually buy them out of ponchos so I can toss them to others without cover if it rains.
My non-roo going friends kinda think I'm a bit crazy because somehow I work Roo into EVERY conversation. They say I'm like the "One time at band camp" chick from American Pie, but mine is more like, "One time on the Farm."

I also annoy everyone around me talking incessantly about Bonnaroo. They just roll their eyes.
^^It's good to know I'm not the only one And it's only my first roo!! Even my BF who is going with me gets sick of it. I'm definitely glad I found this place to get it out of my system. Although I do spend way too much time on here, especially on my days off ;D
bonnaroo has seriously been on the mind, which i have no complaints about! It is going to be a serious adventure this year.. The past four I drove with a caravan of folks and this year I moved to Arizona, so I'll be traveling solo, a la airplane, bummin' a ride in Nashville, raging all weekend ;D

My first Roo was the worst as far as talking incessantly about it. Now that I've been a few times I know what to expect and have all of my gear collected and ready from last year. But the first year as I was trying to figure out what I needed to take I was totally annoying to everyone around me in a very special way.

I went to Festival International in Louisiana this past weekend and tested out a pair of shoes that I was considering wearing to the Bonnaroo and man they totally failed. I may just end up gluing the soles back onto the shoes I wore for the past two years and wearing those yet again.
I have been trying to resist going up in to the attic and getting all my stuff down but once the tickets arrive I won't be able to hold back.
