I have dreamed about Bonnaroo several times in the past couple of weeks. Last night I dreamed about arriving Wednesday night and not sleeping all the way through the sun coming up after the Thursday sets. Needless to say I am was exhausted when I woke up this morning.
How I long for Rothbury. It was cancelled this year and I still think about it all the time. I think I probably feel the same way for it as you folks do for Bonnaroo.
That being said, I missed Bonnaroo in 2009, and I regretted it very much. I won't be missing it again.
Yeah dude I have had many dreams about it, and driving up to Nashville a couple days ago and driving by the exit and seeing the outline of the What stage didnt help at all. The 2 and a half hour line at third man records went by so fast cuz about 5 of us were talking bonnaroo.

yeah...people at work get tired of hearing about A. Bonnaroo B. My viking Horns and clock C. Inforoo D. the acts that have melted my face at Bonnaroo and E. MY DREAMS about Bonnaroo.
I realize that I talk about it probably a lot but when they bring up concerts, i instantly talk about my love for the farm.

I'll have a few Bonnaroo dreams randomly throughout the year but they start happening pretty regularly in the month leading up to it. Nothing very realistic always somethin reaaaaally trippy but bonnaroo centered. This year will be my 4th trip down to the farm and I'm lucky enough to have 2 friends who've been down with me every time, and a large contingent of people who've come once or twice depending on work or financial situations. Those who haven't come are on the border between being annoyed with my incessant rambling about the fest, or a mixture of curiosity/jealousy with what i've got to experience, I like to think that there being annoyed stems directly from the jealousy though, it's just so freakin hard to not want to tell people alllll the amazing stuff that happens down there...see yall on the farm

ooooo btw pondo i remember seein you and those horns walkin around last year, i think it was by the ben & jerrys thing, next time i'll come introduce myself n share some goodies with you
I seriously have to refrain from relating every thing back to roo. I also spend a solid two hours a day looking up any new roo news, I love the addiction
I had a 'Roo dream the other night, but it was bizarre. In my dream I only made it to the last day the past year but paid full ticket price, and this year (the dream itself) I was only able to make it on the final day but was gonna drive the whole way down just to make the festival. After paying the full price again (in the dream) for this last day, it was still amazing. But the festival wasn't the same as I know it to be in my dream. Weird shit. But I've had a lot of weird shit going on in my life lately.
The best is when you have friends that are sick of you talking about bonnaroo all the time and they have no idea why. Then they go to Roo and then they can't stop talking about it either...

It's quite funny when I opened this thread I was telling my girlfriend how everyone who goes to Bonnaroo ends up talking their friends and families ears off and they end up getting annoyed because of it. Then when I finished I saw your comment and pointed it to her and was like 'see'.
As for my final paper in Psychology for this semester that was about Roo, I got a B+. My teacher said he enjoyed reading it. Roo for the win.

Whoa! I had a dream today that I lived by a huge lake, and that George Jones lived on a ranch across the lake. They moved the farm to George Jones' property right across from my house, so I was just walking over and bringing everyone beer and supplies from my house.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I still have my 2010 wristband. I wore my 09 wristband til after roo 2010.
My friends who haven't gone are so tired of hearing me talk about it. I always find some way to bring it up and they roll their eyes every time now. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
Lyssaroo I feel you on that. All i do is talk about it since 05 which was my first. I think i might live to goto bonnaroo. My dad and bro can't stand it when i talk about it both of them have been twice. I dream all the time about it. Maybe when we all dream about it we are all dreaming about it at the same time so its like everyone who dreams about is actually there through the astroplane of our dreams we all meet there when we sleep. so next time im there ill try and find you...
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
Totally hate that question because I feel like I need to find out who they listen to before i can even try to answer.
Not only do I often dream about being at the festival (and finding out who is playing right before they take the stage) but I often have nightmares that I arrive at Bonnaroo late and only catch the last act. I wake up in tears and immediately head to inforoo to make sure it didn't actually happen.
I don't dream about Bonnaroo (have once or twice, maybe), but I still have on my wristband from last year. I lost the one from '09 And I talk about it all the time at work, but they're used to it. So are the customers (I work at a grocery store). Hell, a month before Bonnaroo, a group of us at the store always try and work the Food Lion water stand that the company (apparently) has on the grounds somewhere. I've never seen it... but anyway, only employees from the Manchester branch get to work it.
Does anyone else not take off their wristband? I'm going to try and wear it until they put the 2011 version on me. Maybe get them to take last year's off for me
I have dreamed about it a couple times, but my dreams are usually really really crazy, so they don't really make sense. I dream a lot though about missing the first day of Bonnaroo. I'm always in my car with a rushed feeling cursing myself out for all the bands I'm missing. Then I wake up and get comforted that i didn't miss anything. It's weird.
My friends are the same way with me and Bonnaroo. I've stopped mentioning it to them because I know I can't talk them into going, and they are tired of me asking. Although, my facebook only exists to promote Bonnaroo and all the other live music events I go to. I talk about nothing else on there.
Yea the occasional Bonnaroo dream has been creeping in as of late. Its amazing the draw this event has on so many...4 days of something else is eneugh to bring all kinds of folks together. Hope the dreams keep on and see you at the 10th to create the next years batch

So now I've had the "Roo 2010 on George Jones' property" dream, a dream about meeting Willie Nelson backstage and him asking me to take him into town to do some shopping and this latest dream:
They were announcing the line-up over a period of about 30 minutes. The line-up was set-up like it always is on the website, but the page started out blank, and every 30 seconds or so they would add a band randomly until it was completely filled in, so like this:
------------Stevie Wonder -------------------------------------------- Weezer-----------------------------The Dead Weather- -----------------------------------Phoenix -------------------------------------------The National-
On top of this line-up list were two MAJOR MAJOR headliners, advertised via a concert bill/placard looking box.
I couldn't make out a lot of the bands. But I remember Passion Pit, The Black Keys, Jonsi, Mumford and Sons, Arcade Fire, Deadmau5, Janelle Monae and Broken Bells. One of the headliners was a band whose name included the lead singer, plus the band, like "Neil Young and Crazy Horse". Only I don't think it was him. There was a letter "G" in the name, and I think the first name was "James" however, so I can't make heads or tails of it. I also wasn't super excited over the first headliner. I, and the person I was with in the dream were however, VERY VERY excited over about 4 artists, which would likely mean I saw Wilco, MMJ, Band of Horses, Radiohead, The Shins, or The National on the line-up.
I hope I have another line-up dream. It gets me so excited!!!

even though i do not dream of roo that often i can say i talk about it way to much according to people i know who have not been. there is seldom a day that goes by that i do not think about it or browse around inforoo for a bit of news. kind of scary how a few days out of the year can occupy so much space inside your mind.
