This year was my very first Bonnaroo and I can't even explain how cool and fun the whole experience was! I'd never even camped before Thursday night! I now realize why there's no real descriptive posts about roo...you just can't explain it; you gotta be there! We left really early and went to the Walmart parking lot...OMG! Couldn't sleep because the car was totally loaded down and we were too excited! We left the lot at around 7:00 in the morning, and were inside Bonnaroo and set up by 9:30, at Pod 3, no less!!! This couldn't have been a more perfect weekend! I really, really, can't wait to go back!! I've already asked my husband for roo tickets for Christmas!! Hope there's a presale!

Yeah, I definately learned not to do certain things and what to bring. I wore nothing but flip flops this year and got my veggies taken by security. Definately have learned that tennis shoes are good and so are bras.
^I had a ridiculous amount of corn and my glass corn-cob-pipe in my bra everyday when I went into centeroo haha. The funny part was the looks I got from people when I reached in and pulled everything out to put it into my bag after getting in.
My first roo and it was awesome. Went with the bf and his friend and met up w/a fellow inforooster (shout-out to TugBoatCharlie!!!) and a couple of his friends so we had a nice 6-person crew. I will try harder to get some of my girlfriends to go next year though, because my bf was way more interested in the camping than the music.

This was my first Bonnaroo, but not my last. Learned that Camelbaks, galoshes, and big hats were invaluable. Beer, flip flops, and bras were not all that needed.
I wouldn't change one single thing about how I Roo'd this year! Okay, maybe boots so I would've avoided this nasty between-the-toes rash I am treating for now! I honestly had the best time! I really don't understand a lot of these posts about how it's going to be the last roo and that it sucked. Maybe it's because I'm a mom and really don't get to experience anything like Roo, but my group of Bonnamoms are planning on going every year until there is no more Roo! We might even be Bonnagrandmothers one day! I'm still just so blown away that I got to experience Roo!! Can't wait til June '10!!!

Yeah, I went with my boyfriend and his group of like 12 people. It was fun, I just won't bring just flip flops next year, and I'll be set. My boyfriend has been three years now, so he was good to hang with. I just can't wait till next year. I'm never gonna stop going as long as it is still around.
Definitely brought too much water, beer, and food. The good part of this is that we are having a huge post roo party tonight, eating our left over food (a ton, seriously) drinking beer, and eating local corn (not from the roo). We will be listening to both Phish sets from tapers seeds so that we can were the crowd. I'm looking forward to tonight!
<edit> Thanks to the 120q 5-day igloo cooler that kept all of our beer and food in tip-top shape all the way through roo to tonights wrap-up bash!
it was my first bonnaroo, too, and i couldn't be happier with my experience. the boy and i keep talking about it and daydreaming about next year. siiiiigh...
