This year was my first Roo, and I had an AMAZING time!! Everything was absolutely perfect thanks to you guys here on inforoo getting me completely prepared for this adventure. We had the most perfect camping spot at the tree line so we were able to sleep til around 10, the shows were incredible, and I even got to meet Langhorne Slim!!! Not one bad thing happened to me there, but then I came home. My friend and I were separating our things and she started looking for the memory card we had used up til Sunday night. It was no where to be found!! She had put it in a ziploc bag because it looked like it would rain during Dave Matthews. This morning she took everything out of the bag, and we think she didn't notice it and threw it away... I'm so upset I don't have pics from the best vacation I have ever had.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."

He was so sweet!! I absolutely enjoyed every minute of his show... the people we were camping with took pics so I will have some from the campsite and I can find pics from the shows on the web i'm sure. I'm trying to look at the brightside... It could have been alot worse...

Since this is the worst luck thread...let me tell you about mine. I had an amazing weekend too, but I was food poisoned while stuck in traffic for 8 hours (which was ridiculous), my girlfriend's bag that had her wallet in it got stolen right out of our campsite while we were changing in the tent, and my car has a new mysterious dent in the front bumper this morning.
Screw the gas station for selling a rotten slimfast, the f**king thief, and the jackass that slammed in my car and ran.

we had terrible luck getting into the festival
we tried to go in from 55 from Nashville but right when we got the actual entrance to the festival, we got waved passed and sent into the main line after hours of waiting.
our whole group nearly lost their shit, but it all settled once we got in of course
Camera was stolen on Saturday night. Along with 500+ Bonnaroo pics. I was pretty devastated...then also my friend lost her memory card of Bonnaroo. It's most likely chillin in our empty campsite. Oh well...lesson learned. Don't trust anyone at Bonnaroo or keep your stuff locked up. At least we all have the sunburn and bracelet. Oh and awesome memories. I am glad I didn't screw myself out of memories by doing bad things early in the morning and forgetting everything by the next day.

I arrive 230am Thursday morning expecting the short wait people had reported. They decided to do things differently this year, and I ended up finally laying down in my tent at 830am after falling asleep in line on the interstate once. Bad luck was turned around when I figured out that I was in Marty McFly and was really close to Centeroo.

Had a little "bad" luck too. Truck broke down on the way. Fortunately we got a cheap tow and reasonable repair bill and were on our way in less than two hours. Didn't have to miss Lotus.
Dropped my guitar the wrong way and broke the neck on it. Fortunately it was my camping guitar and only cost $100 brand new.
Those two things tacked on an extra $368 to my total Roo Bill.
I didn't let it ruin my good time though.
All this "bad" luck seems to pale when compared to Matt Sloan's. That really puts things in perspective for me.

Woke up thursday morn to find that my clasp on my bracelet was about to break so I had to hike all the way back to the toll booths from BFE to get mine replaced. That was a fun way to start the day.
After Stevie Wonder I get back to my tent in camping only. The zipper on my rain cover and tent were open. I know I closed it up when I left. I panicked since I had left my car keys and a back pack with an expensive cam corder inside the tent. Luckily nothing was taken. I found someone's beaded neck lace inside...and get this... a pair of women's brown panties were also left inside my tent. ??? My guess is this person was confused and decided to crash there. I do not know what I would have done if I found her still there asleep.
It could have been alot worse...
