I really cannot express what an amazing atmosphere this was. I know you all said it would be..but it is one of those things..until you go...you cannot know what it will really be like!Thursday night was overwhelming...Friday...kind of stuck to ourselves watching the smaller bands and chilling out. Saturday...at the main stage all day and meet the most outstanding people. I cannot express in words the feeling of...I don't know....people smiling and talking with complete strangers...no "real world" shit to deal with....the only annoying thing was the drunk people budging their way to the front...still have sore feet from them being stepped on :-) The thoughts of being a festival groupie crossed my mind on our drive home...the hugs and kisses and "we missed you mommy" cries from my kids brought me back to the real world.....but it was nice to escape and not be "mommy" for a few days. Knowing Bonnaroo is out there will keep a smile on my face.

Glad you enjoyed
When I try to explain to people what Roo is all about, it is really hard to convey that feeling of togetherness and family that you get and that it really is just like a different world. The only way is to experience it for yourself. If only the real world could be so peaceful and happy.......
It gives me hope for the world when 80,000 people can get together and share the love for music and all get along. During the entire four days I never heard one person being mean or creating trouble.

Everyone was great. I got to know the people beside me while waiting for shows to start, and all of them were friendly and cool. Some guy even asked me if I wanted to smoke a bowl with him before the White Stripes.
i met many generous people and that just made it easy to be generous as well.. I had people helping me sneak in glow sticks and also people sharing water with my friend who was almost about done at the flaming lips show from drinking to much. Also my neighbors were soo awesome right away they were willing to help us out and we ended up connecting our tents with a tarp and just talking to each other through out the days.. I hope every year i meet people like this...
I've found this carries through a lot of festivals like this. The general camraderie and willingness to help other people totally reminded me of Burning Man/like-minded events. It's such a refreshing feeling to be surrounded by 80,000 people who are concerned with more than just themselves.
everyone I ran into and interacted with where super nice and friendly. I wandered alot by myself and met lots of cool people. I can be a bit of a shy person but i felt comphortable talking to just anyone there. and everyone at the inforoo camp rocks
The greatest people i had the opportunity to be around could be found Saturday night at the Other tent for Sasha and Digweed.
EVERYBODY was taking care of one another.
The people that overdid it and were spaced from 3 days of partying were well taken care of by everyone. They got sympathy and cold water and as much love as anyone could distribute at that moment.
At points of the set, anyone that i came across would sit down in a circle under the tent and "share" some of the goodies we would accumulate at that set. People would direct traffic away from us so nothing would get stepped on or kicked over. At one point, i thought aloud and said, "oh God, i need water BADDDD." within a few seconds, somebody had made their way over to our sitting circle and handed me a very cold bottle of water. I was passing it around the circle and people with water jugs would refill the bottle.
Easily the best atmosphere i was apart of all weekend.
If you left DJ Sasha and Digweed before sunup, i feel really bad for you..
If you didn't even make it to that set...... *shakes head
