not in the least bit. I wish the weather had been more tolerable, but that's Bonnaroo for you. I thought the music was excellent, the late nights were off the chain, the people were friendly for the most part, and the experience is still holding up its end of the bargain.
But, admittedly, I am a glass half-full type of guy.

Overall absolutely not - there was so much great music, it was hard to decide what to do next. The food was great, the people were awesome, the atmosphere in general was like nothing else in this world. Who could be disappointed with that? Not I I am also a glass half full kind of gal though

First Roo here and I had the time of my life. Great ppl, great food, awesome music, late nights rocked. Just wish I could have stayed awake longer - by 2-3am I could barely open my eyes. Had to do with the sun waking my up at 7am each morning.
I'm already thinking about next year, and how I can come better prepared.

I had a great time. I have eclectic musical tastes and am like a kid in a candy store each year. Somewhere, months ago, I started a thread stating my concern that we were building people's expectations too high. Knowing what to expect, how to get around, and running into friends from prior Roos (for me) makes each year more fun.

I had a blast, sure it was hot and dusty, and the security volunteers lacked the skill of professional guards, but if you reasonably followed the rules, and took the most basic of precautions with the weather, a great time was definitely there to be had, a postitive attitude goes a long way.
it was my 1st roo. but all in all i had a blast. I cant complain about anything, other then it being real hot , but hey we knew this going in , i read the 10 day weather report for bonnaroo. so we went prepared. im already waiting for next yrs show . got the credit card all ready for VIP its the only way to go

I was 20 feet and in the center for my first Gov't Mule show. It could of been 150 degrees, I wouldn't of cared.
Nuff' Said.
I was right there with ya. I couldn't have been 5 ft from you. Awesome show.
Were you talking to a very friendly, but also very drunk guy who was so excited about mule? They knew the main stagehands name, and kept yelling it at him, and he would yell back at them and they would all go crazy. If that's you in your avatar, it very well could be.

I don't think that was me. I was with my hubby and some friends. He was wearing a motorhead T-shirt w/ a crown of glowies in his headlamp strap, I was in a black tank top. We were having a blast!!!
Been home three days and with reflection I think it was awesome. It was hot, but no hotter than here in MD and less humid. It was dusty, but if it weren't it would be muddy.
As for the sun, we took one of those metallic fabric car window sunshades and bungeed it to the east side of our tent and it let us sleep a bit longer and even keep that side's tent window open for ventilation. We also did the silver tarp over the tent (thanks peeps) and that helped tremendously.
I don't get all the bibbing. yes, the vents about dust and trash and security are expected when we just get back to exchange stories but now it's Thursday and I feel like we should just be sailing on happy Bonnaroo memories, the bad stuff floating away and all that is in the front of our minds is the really awesome stuff. ;D

This was my fifth roo, including 2002 and I think this one was the best. The first year was great but I was less experienced at roo life and did not see as much music as I did this year.
Being absolutely nothing of a Tool fan, they rocked and may have been the best show on the big stage all time!
If you do not like the heat, start saving now and rent an RV next year. It really is the difference maker.

I should probably add that I do the VIP air + hotel package. So I didn't get searched once and didn't wait in any lines. I know that's a different experience than GA camping. But I'm old and am willing and able to pay more $ for fewer hassles.
i totally agree that it was an excellent experience.... what a great lineup of shows, even more amazing considering that it was so much more than just the music... i just wish i didnt have a throat and sinus infection right now... oh well, sitting at work planning on making next years even better!
As your attorney I advise you to drive at top speed and it'll be a Goddamn miracle if we get there before you turn into some kind of wild animal. Are you ready for that? Checking into a Las Vegas hotel under a phony name with the intent to commit capital fraud with a head full of acid? I certainly hope so...
i was a bit disappointed in this years roo.
