At Bonnaroo last year at the What Stage i remember seeing a guy that was quacked out of his mind and he lost his sandle in a mud pit and could not find it to save his life did anyone see it? After searching for 30 minutes he had a crowd watching him and after a while he found it and everyone cheered haha!
no, but there's a hilarious video on YouTube of a really trashed guy from Coachella last year who kept falling down trying to put on his flipflops. no mud though.
I didn't see that guy...but I did see a guy WHACKED out of his mind at Which Stage during Ween last year...towards the back under the trees...he was a really big guy...he kept trying to give this guy a hug and the dude didn't know him at all...he kept on slapping himself in the chest...ended up falling in the mud at one point...then Bonnaroo security and medical staff got involved and it took like 6 people to get him down and strapped into a stretcher...that was crazy!

This guy was fucked out of his mind. He walked up, stumbling like he couldn't walk and longer, and made his way over to the pit of mud and lied face first in it

This is Exactly the guy I'm talking about, I watched this guy for like 20 mins at that show, and then finally security showed up. I think that was during Ween?
I saw a drunk guy in 08 who was pretty damn tore up. He was walking with his friends, and slipped in the mud puddle. This is when stuff gets crazy. His friends help him up. Well, the little fella didn't make it two steps before he is down in the mud....again. Well, he had totally mistaken gravity for one of his friends pushing him into the puddle repeatedly. because this time he got up swinging on his friends. Some how they stopped laughing long enough to calm him down and make their way toward centeroo. Carrying their fallen comrade by standing beside him on both sides and walking him on. It was pretty priceless, but I am glad they got it resolved.

I saw that guy - as a matter of fact he was pretty close to where I was sitting. He looked pretty psychotic. but I'm pretty sure it was during Umphrey's.
I also remember him standing there covered with mud, looking around with piercing eyes and hugging himself. I do remember it taking awhile (and several people( to subdue him and get him on a stretcher.

Those eyes where sooo creepy! My roommate actually has a great pic on his phone of him hugging himself and covered in mud..I will see if I can get it posted

I remember seeing that guy too at Umphrey's last year. We were right behind him and tried not to make eye contact for fear of him trying to give us a hug. Then one girl tried to help him out, while he was covered in mud, and he still kept trying to hug her! She finally just left him alone. Still a kind move though.
I was the original medical staff member to show up there, that dude was scary. I was surprised that he actually cooperated with me and followed my commands, that was one of three people that i dealt with by myself before anyone else came to assist me.
^ if I could give you a +1 right now I would for your good work. I sat there and watched the whole scene unfold and was frankly surprised at how long it took to get a crew there. I work as a midlevel in an ED and was sober, and so it was really hard for me to watch all that and not get involved! I've seen that look in the eyes more than once....
^ I actually was split from my partner by a member of the security staff and was told of a man face down in the mud, when i arrived it turned out to be a man trying to kiss females and touching people. It's hard to do my job normally, but when Im thrown into a festival like Roo, with hundreds of people looking down on me and having cameras pointed at me it changes the ball game, but what seemed like an eternity was actually 3 minutes for my back up to arrive, which wasnt a terrible time difference, as they came from the main stage medical tent.
^^ well good job. From a crowd perspective his behavior was frightening. It definitely wasn't just someone being friendly. I'm pretty sure he was psychotic, whether substance-induced or more traditional psychosis. And I agree, I know the struggles you guys face - and think you did a phenomenal job.
from what I observed, you could have easily been at risk responding to something like that alone. (thankfully you weren't). When they called you it probably was at the moment that he had fallen down in the mud face first and was rolling around. By the time you got there, though, he had gotten back up and was again doing what he had done before.
it was substance induced, as were the other two of the day, he was actually a nice guy when i stopped by a couple of hours later to check in on him.
I was actually out with a passed out/dehydrated person when someone from the security staff asked if i could come and check out on someone face down in the mud, when i got there no one was face down, someone tapped me on the shoulder from the crowed, pointed at him and said to please get him out, he was making people uncomfortable and kissing and groping females, so basic instinct and training kicked in, but yes its a very different situation, usually i would have PD or some type of law enforcement out with me in situations like this, but i had a blast a roo and cant wait to go back this year.
Cool it worked! I'm almost wondering if the other guy in this picture was you roomedic...lol...that would be cool! That was quite the memorable momentaroo...

I wanted to get a good forward facing picture of him in the mud but he was pretty scary, I didn't want to push it. I don't know if he'd be pissed off if he saw me snapping pics
I can't believe no one saw the two dudes sitting in the mud runoff from the water slides this year! I think it was during Medeski, Martin, & Wood. They were literally covered head to toe just sitting in this huge mud pit repeatedly dumping globs of mud over the other! I definitely saw people snapping pics, but sadly haven't seen them.
In 2009 between stage right of That and the gravel road, the wife and I were treated to a spectacular display of drunken mud-wrestling. Two guys were lining up about fifteen feet apart and charging each other and throwing linebacker hits. Then they'd grapple in the mud, flounder around, wriggle free of each other, line up, and do it again.
What made this so funny was that it was during Ani DiFranco...here was this very serious set going on, full of politics & wisdom & peace & the glory of matriarchy, and adjacent to it were these two primates bashing one another over the head and grunting in some unintelligible language. Couldn't have been a better statement on the human condition if it had been choreographed.
