Two words, Mud Wrastlin ;D After challenging biglou and reading this article, I sort of hope it rains one of the days. Not really violent, and just a way to have some fun in the rain. Plus im sure the ladies squaring off would bring quite a crowd lol.
"But to many, the mess was only part of the fun. Hundreds even surrounded one mud pit to watch impromptu mud wrestling.
Chris Trovillo, 18, of Tullahoma, Tenn., continually participated in the spectacle, and eventually even refereed the wrestlers, who were often pairs of women. "You gotta be bossman, you gotta have rules," Trovillo said, "you can't have people kicking or punching each other."
Other micro-festivals sprung up in the wake of the near flood as well, including a race of self-proclaimed "Mud People" who wallowed in the soupy mess before wandering the grounds in triumph.
"Anyone who wants to talk to us has to get a hug first," cried one Mud Person who then laughingly chased a slightly scared, yet much cleaner college journalist from the area"

I hope for rain...like 2005.
Remember 2005? No one ever talks about it...but I think it had the best weather out of any Bonnaroo I've been to. It rained occasionally, only really pouring once (Saturday, while Jack Johnson was playing, and during Iron & Wine), but it was (for the most part) cloudy, overcast, breezy, and cool. I was sleeping well past 10 AM every day.

That sounds PERFECT to me.
For the weather that was surely the best year ever. I've got my hopes up for a repeat this year with all this extended forecast talk. I live about an hr and a half away from the farm, and this past weekend was PERFECT. Overcast, cool to the point that I was chilly in a tank top, a few sprinkles but nothing major... Let us all send the best vibes/thoughts/meditations/prayers for overcast breezy days, enough sporatic sprinkles of rain to keep the dust down, and a few sunny spots for good moods!
I have only been once - last year - and to me that was great - hot and sunny but overcast and cool would be pretty nice also - to be able to sleep in the morning
As a resident of south east TN (only about 45 from the Roo site), I'll give my best assumption.
We've been needing some rain for quite some time now (Today and yesterday we had some slight sprinkles), and we're due in for a downpoor soon. I'm guessing (hoping actualy) that this comes in about a week.
Remeard's weather prediction
Friday: Overcast with possible showers, highs in the mid-80s
Friday night: Showers, possibly heavy.
Saturday: partly cloudy with temp still at mid 80s, humidity will make it feel 120.
Saturday night: Crisp air, clear, temperatures in upper 70s.
Sunday: Again, partly cloudy with temp reaching 90 or so. Scattered showers
Sunday night: Low chance of showers, chill weather.
I live about an hour south west of manchester. We drove up to manchester yesterday on hwy 55, and they need rain there really bad. All the grass alongside the highway was dark brown and dead. I'm concerned about fires getting started. Everybody...wish for a good soaking rain a couple days before 'roo gets started!
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Holy sh*t ... what a ride!"

Good wish! Here in Knoxville we're at about half of our average for this time of year... I think that summer will bring some great rains (trying to stay positive) and we'll all be safely out of the fire warning zone.
Well it most probably will rain. Me, I don't care. After all its going to be hot and sunny and humid, so a little rain wont hurt. But a F%^&ing monsoon is outta the queation....didnt go to Roo 04 but heard about it.

We happened to be driving past Bonnaroo on our way back home from Atlanta, and we were lured to pull off the 24 and take a look. The road in was closed. Yes, the grass is dry and brown in the area, even on the 24 outside Bonnaroo, but what we saw in there was greener than anything we had seen from Nashville to Atlanta.
The air quality today is great, but we do need rain. 2005 Bonnaroo was awesome, but so were the other 3 Bonnaroos we went to, so it's tough to say if I want rain during Bonnaroo.
I'm cool with a monsoon. I'd prefer that it started Thursday night or Friday 'cause it would make setting up camp easier but I'll take what comes. I did just buy a rain cover for my backpack today, though, so we'll probably have hot and sunny weather...

I still have 2 ponchos we bought for Roo 02 that we haven't even opened yet (missed 04 & 05). It would be nice to use them at least once... preferably after my camp is thoroughly set up.
