i think the hottest day was sunday, and it was really dry all 4 days, but there was a breeze alot of the time and it cooled down significantly after five. i personally think it was hotter last year than this year. the only difference is that it hardly ever rained this year(the slight drizzle @ KOL was great) IMO i think it was the best Roo weather ive experienced so far.

Well, if that was the hottest Bonnaroo ever, then I think I'll be good for any future ones. I'm terrible about heat and yet I was fine most of the time. I just had to remind myself to pace myself and eat and drink regularly, and not only did I not mind the heat, but I was in a good mood most of the time as well. When I wasn't being accosted by some self-appointed pseudo-intellectual garbage nazi hippie about throwing my plastic cap in the recycling bin, that is. Ugh.
Besides, recycling = mostly useless waste of resources.
Anyway. It was pretty damn hot, and I would have loved some rain. It seems to have just found me in Florida, now that I'm back inside in the AC. Thanks a lot, rain gods.

I live in Nashville so I am pretty used to this heat, but Sunday was a bitch. The dust didn't bother me so much as the heat did. I missed most of Wolfmother because I just couldn't sit out there anymore. I was pretty miserable until the sun went down on Sunday. Friday and Saturday were actually pretty decent because there was a breeze and a little rain

Yea we left wolfmother early as well cause I just couldnt stand it anymore. I think it had alot to do with the heat but also because it was Sunday and I was just tuckered out
I thought last year was hotter than this year. This year seemed pretty good to me - maybe because I was camped closer and didn't arrive until after 3pm on thursday, rather than 8am and no shade.
This was the best weather of any Roo ever. Even Sunday, which was hot, was not as humid as normal. 2002, 2003, 2004 were definitely hotter and more humid. 2005 we had light rain all weekend and I missed 06 but I kept raving about the nice weather this year.
Sunday was like a normal Roo day if you raise the humidity.

I'm like you and the heat is usually the worst thing about Roo. This year it was cool at night and I could sleep and if you stayed in the shade during the day it was almost bearable. Usually I can't rest during the day and am so sapped from the heat, I have trouble staying up for the night shows. This year I could rest up during the day and stay up all night. I missed some day shows but I always do. It's the price you pay for the heat and the late nights.

I heard it got up to 99 Sunday.
nope only about 92.
Heat index may have been that high, Standing out there for JBT @ 1:00 it felt like about 125 degrees.....
Haha yeah I was up front and the sun was just frying me but I danced my ass off anyway. There was no way I was missing that show for anything. Well worth it.
The hottest it ever felt to me was during Regina Spektor at the Which Stage. I was cooking in the sun, draining my CamelBak. My wife and I went and sought refuge in the Somethin' Else Tent (air conditioned and dark!) and saw Robert Glasper Trio (they were awesome!).

technically maybe it wasn't the hottest, but I've never been overcome by the heat and dust like I was this year. Luckily I only had one day that really took me out and that was late on sunday.
About 2/3 of the way through Ratdog's set I had to take refuge in the VIP bleacher tent. I had a pretty fine view of the stage, cooled down with some beers, and was able to strut out for the "Samson & Delilah" finale. I tell ya, even with all the VIP complaints, it's that little stuff that'll probably sell me on VIP again in 2008.

I had to miss Bobby. Couldn't handle it. Bummed but couldn't be helped. The sun was too brutal.
Shows before 3 at Bonnaroo are like 8am classes in college, I just can't make it without serious will power.
