I swear I dream about bonnaroo every night. I'm completely obsessed. I wear my 'roo 09 and 10 shirts all weekend every weekend, still haven't taken off my wristbands since 09!!! I'm constantly bringing up bonnaroo every chance I get and I relate everything to it in some way.
But yea, the question was does anyone else dream about bonnaroo, or things taking place in roo?? (like literally DREAM about bonnaroo) Cause I do alot. Ever since 09. Just wanted to know if i was a total obsessed weirdo or just an average super huge roo fan.

Oh girl! My friends are pretty tired of me talking about the festival so I kind of have to keep my Roo speak to the people that have gone. I dream about the farm on a regular basis. It's pretty cool that it has such a profound effect on people.

just kidding...
i dream a fair amount about bonnaroo, it's usually the one thing i like to talk about the most and i could talk about it all day and night. i wish i could remember some of my bonnaroo dreams, i'd love to share...
I don't really remember my dreams but I bore the shit out of people who haven't been. Just Wednesday I had a shitty day at work and told my hubby I was going to quit my job, sell the house and live like a wookie at the farm all year.

LOL natedogg i do.
and my friends are the same way, everytime i bring it up they just roll their eyes. I don't have many friends that have gone to roo that I speak to on a daily basis but i'm working SO HARD on having some friends that are bonnaroo virgins go with me next year, price is a big issue i guess.

I'm fortunate enough to have a girlfriend and a few other friends that are as in love with the fest as I am. The couple that we go with every year are actually members of this site as well. Tobiasfunke and mancatinks.
Here we are with that poor Leno that was roasting in a Sponge Bob costume. Mancat (Matt) is on the far left next to my girlfriend Sarah. Tobiasfunke (Ashleah) is on the far right. I'm next to tobiasfunke.
It's funny to see this thread today. I don't have Bonnaroo dreams that much anymore, though after my first 'Roo in 2004 I had them all the time. Last night I dreamed my group and I had the best camping spot ever. We were directly across the road from the Ferris Wheel.
In the past I dreamed it became a metal festival. This was before Metallica played. I also dreamed they installed a sky ride that came from BFE to the entrance.
lol i had one last night, thats why i posted it, i had one last week too. i don't have them as often as i did after 09 but i think its all the excitement for roo 2011 thats bringing them back.

I will have them off and on throughout the year, but they are progresively more frequent as the anticipation for the next one builds, although I have already had quite a few in the past few weeks, some are normal, others are just weird.
My core group of friends who go every year always end up talking about it in some way or another if we are together long enough. I usually try to take a mental break from it, in the immediate months following, but by the time October rolls around I'm back to obsessing about the next year.
i'm the same approo and i had the best spot ever last year, i was like on the corner of 1st ave ans 1st st. it was great, i went back and fourth from my camp as many times as i wanted to! lol
Yeah, I had a bonnaroo dream last night! My girl is a roo virgin and wants to go so bad this year so I have been talking about it non stop and feel like I never run out of things to say about it.

We had a great spot last year, we were in the section right behind tent only, pretty much right at the corner of 2nd street and 3rd avenue. It kind of works against you some times though. You think about how close you are to camp (and shade and beer) and end up going back more often than you should, and therefore missing shows.
The word bonnaroo has come out of my mouth every single day since I went last year for the first time. We camped in pod 9, no idea which “camp” we were in but it was near the pizza stand and the ice truck. Even tho it was disgustingly hot I loved every minute of it and I can’t wait to go back!!!

I talk about Bonnaroo all. the. time. I can't help it! But then when I'm not the one to bring it up, and someone asks "who did you see" or "how was it," i can only reply "umm... everyone" and "fucking amazing" - i don't even know where to start with those questions - i just get a big goofy smile on my face and i'm sure eyes glass over a bit in memories.... ahhh. Bonnaroo Love. <3
lol yea, people ask me those quesions all the time, like who's playing and who did you see. to the first question i'm usually like EVERYBODY! and to the second (since they haven't announced it yet) i'm just like idk, i go mostly for the experience.

I have Bonnaroo dreams ALL THE DAMN TIME.
And I too hate the "who is/was playing?" questions because I invariably end up naming the headliners and then a bunch of midlevel/smaller acts that I'm excited about or that other Inforoosters are excited about, and I always end up completely forgetting to mention the handful of big acts right below the headliners. I end up feeling like I do such a horrible job of explaining how awesome the lineup is and how many big acts there are. SP/ACE should probably never, ever hire me as a promoter.
I am sure my friends and family are sick of hearing about Roo. I must mention it every day at least once. I am excited to return again. I remember the day I went home I saw my dad and he asked me how it was and the only thing I could say was that 'I have to go again'.
In fact this term in my psychology class we had to write a term paper and I wrote about my experience at Roo and ended up giving my teacher a copy of The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots to go along with my paper. Needless to say I believe I got an A on my paper.
haha SERIOUSLY!! i hardly ever remember dreams, but like everyone else...even when my friends give the smallest mention of something random like...a ferris wheel...or a fountain...or lemonade, it ALWAYS leads to, "You know who has the best _________??" Which thus spurs into me talking bout roo forEVER because i feel people have a RIGHT TO KNOW what they're missing out on every year!!

Ever since the ticket presale I have had Bonnaroo on my mind every day. I want it to be June already so classes will be over and I can go to roo where I will be too busy having fun to worry about everything. I'm attempting to take a much bigger group, )most of them have never been before) and maybe rent an RV. June can't come soon enough.
Quoted fer truth. And I'm like y'all. I talk 'bout 'Roo so much I know my friends and family are just tired of hearin' 'bout it. But I don't care! Why more of my friends won't go I just don't understand.

My boyfriend and I talk about it so much that we've got just about everyone we know interested in going this year. It's pretty amazing how many of our friends, while at a party or get together, will say to us "Tell me again about Bonnaroo..." Adam and I just smile at each other and then dive in to telling them every little detail we can remember about last year's Roo. (which was our first)
I'm totally excited and I talk about it ALL THE TIME. I even begged my Dad to get me a ticket for Christmas. I remember reading a thread last year where someone said something along the lines of "Bonnaroo will change the way you look at everything, it's seriously a big eye opener" and whoever said that wasn't lying. I never thought I would be this obsessive about anything.
Bonnaroo changed the way I shop. Now when I see something I want (clothing-wise), my mind automatically thinks "How will this be for Bonnaroo?" And I also check out the camping aisles every time I'm at a store that has one.
