From the Shelbyville Times-Gazette (around here, Shelbyville is pronounced Shebuhvul. True story.) www.t-g.com/story/1548012.html Probably one of the best articles about our festival that I've ever read.
that was an awesome article that actually highlighted the positive atmosphere of bonnaroo. much kudos to her - i have a feeling that link is going to get a lot of hits via inforoo
I wrote to the editor (and her) saying how much I enjoyed the article - she replied with a quick thank you too!
Edit: I sent her a link to this thread
Edit: and she replied "Wow! That is so nice. I’m sitting here, feeling sorry for myself because my coworkers got to go to the Tennessee Press Awards and I didn’t, and you send me this wonderful link. Thank you for making my day!"

Amazing: Phish, Bruce, Amadou & Mariam, Vieux Farke Toure, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Wilco, NIN Good to great: Animal Collective, NIN, Jimmy Buffet, King Sunny Ade, Tobacco, MGMT, Passion Pit, Kraak & Smack Glad to have seen: Oakenfold, Grizzly Bear, Beastie Boys, of Montreal, Snoop Dogg
First article was great, a fun read. I emailed the editor and let him know I thought so. The second... really? Where in the hell did this lady think she was going, 4H camp? She needed to partake and CHILL.
all of her complaints had to do with a) camping (portapotties, food. weather, etc.), corn (bongaroo, people "brazenly" rolling j's in the open, and the fact tht she had a bad internet connection.
it doesn't take a reporter to know all 3 of those things before you go, especially when colleagues have been there before. what did she expect people to be doing? having morning tea and game of cannasta? followed by a picnic in centaroo with 4 different kinds of sandwiches, potato salad, and fresh sqeezed lemonade? back to camp to put our best clothes on for phish. if we're feeling frisky, maybe a wine cooler and a drag off someone's cigarette.

Then we can all retreat back to our tents, put on our flannel footy pajamas and make some cocoa before bed.
What a moron.
The first article was great though!! That lady seemed like she really had a great time.
for middle-aged women with a sense of humor that like to rock
