Today, I went out to eat with my boys. A girl at the next table over had a Roo 2010 shirt on. I had a strong urge to yell Bonnaroo! in the middle of the restaurant but was able to stop myself.
Meeting Roo people after Roo is the best. I spoke with a bunch of guys after Passion Pit who had gone, we all walked away shouting Bonnarooooo/BUTTSCRATCHA!
I've still got my wristband from this year AND last year on. I've been wearing the 2009 one ALL year! I'd have the 2008 one on too if it hadn't ripped....
my husband and i were in a bar friday and they played a stevie song. he looks at me and says, oh stevie we just saw you! this girl at the end of the bar screams "oh my god did you go to bonnaroo?" we screamed and hugged it out. hahaha. she and her friend came down and we hung out drinking and telling stories for a couple hours. it was pretty cool
oh and saturday we were at my husbands cousins open house and there was an older guy who was sitting across from us. he said something to his wife about bonnaroo! turns out he took his son! we talked for a couple hours about the great bands and funny stories.
I haven't taken mine off yet either haha.. my bf keeps asking me when I am going to, I answer I don't know..My first Roo' and I haven't stopped missing it since I left lol..anyways maybe it will come off if it starts to smell, tho I wash it in the shower....for now it blends in with all my other bracelets anyways...

I have BONNAROO yelled at me at least once every time I wear my 09 or 10 shirt. This doesn't just happen at other shows, for instance someone yelled it at me from their car at a red light the other day while I was crossing the street.
Bag Boy at my local Publix had a Roo bracelet on. I said a sarcastic, "that bracelet is very ugly!" or something that affect. He looked at me like I was crazy and had called his grandmother a whore. I then said, "HaHa, just kidding, actually I like it!" "you went?" he asked. "Hellz ya I did." Every time I go to Publix now I give him a shout out.
I dunno, 'bout two years ago (after my second 'Roo in '08) I was waitin' on a table and the lady at said table had a Bonnaroo '04 or '05 shirt on. I complimented it, tried to chat about her experience as I had recently come back from my second, and she was just not into it. Wasn't tryin' to flirt, especially as she was there with a dude. But it just killed me that a fellow 'Rooer wasn't at all interested in talkin' 'bout it at all, even fer a second.
My 08 and 09 bracelets are going strong as ever but 3 weeks ago my 2010 just frayed and slipped out of the clip. What the quack! I liked the colors of this years but had a bad feeling when I noticed some frays during the roo I got it. I still have it and I may have my gf sew the ends and keep it that way.

Aw, I think I took my wristband off around the end of August. I had some specific date for it but I've already forgotten. Last year I took it off on the anniversary of the last day of Woodstock and I was gonna do the same this year but then I forgot so I had to pick a different day. Oops.
Luckily the guy who put my wristband on basically left me enough room for somebody else's arm in there, so I had no problem sliding it off. I had more difficulty keeping it ON - it kept falling off on me and I was terrified I would lose it swimming or something. Every time we went to the beach I was telling my boyfriend to watch my wristband like a hawk so I didn't lose it. And then I VERY nearly lost it at the supermarket one day.
Saw a Bonnaroo sticker on a car a couple weeks back - one of the 07 stickers. Really wanted to give the girl a big ol' BONNAROOOOO but then I chickened out. Pretty sure she was wondering why I was staring at her though - when I see Bonnaroo stickers/shirts/etc my bizarre initial response is "DO I KNOW THAT PERSON?!"
I work at Mellow Mushroom dowtown in Atlanta and while my roo wristband fell off, my wakarusa one hasn't. I was waiting on a table and one guy had a rothbury shirt and in the middle of me taking their order one of the girls yelled WAKA! I stopped taking their order and we talked music festivals until my manager made me go back to work.
Any body ever seen someone with a Roo shirt on and gotten really excited and approached them only to get a response like "oh uh...I didn't actually go my buddy left this shirt my house" or something to that effect?
that's happened to me 2 or 3 times now, who does that?

Haha I was responsible for that happening once. My boyfriend gifted me some cash for funtimes at Roo, so I used some of it to buy him a t-shirt. We went to an A&W once and as we walk up the girl who works there goes "You went to Bonnaroo?!" And I'm thinking...whoa....did she seriously see/recognize my wristband from here?! And then my bf said "no, she did" and I realized he was wearing the shirt I gave him. Oops.
