I'm disappointed that people can't keep disappointment threads in one place, as opposed to feeling like they have to keep starting new ones (wherein everyone essentially says how they actually weren't disappointed).

This is actually my favorite "disappointment" thread for the simple fact that every response to it has been incredibly positive....Reverse psychology?
This was my 2nd Roo and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! The ONLY complaint I have is that the concession prices are slowly creeping up a little too much, especially when it comes to beverages (both alcoholic and non). I just hope they stay where they are or those of us that don't just want to drink water or stay at camp all day to enjoy a couple of beers are gonna have to make some adjustments!

I had a great time, despite all the really negative vibes from some crowed that kept telling me "Bonnaroo has changed so much... this isn't at all like last year... there are narcs here... the security wasn't super nice to me... I got drunk, hurt my ankle, and they won't stop the festival for me... nobody yelled "Bonnarooooo!" at me... my battery died and Bonnaroo didn't pay for it... my neighbors didn't give me any free stuff... the promoters caused the dust... and 'DUDE, PHISH ISNT HERE?!?!?!? OMG LAME'...". I managed to handle all that negativity and had one hell of a time - I'm pleased to see some of the whiners won't be back next year.
i had an awesome time this year, my only gripe was with the headliners but i didn't really buy my ticket for any of them anyway (personally i think FLips, stripes, and ratdog should of) all the other shows were off the hook tho. I'm pretty sure tho this will be my last roo. after reading everyones accounts im figuring it might have just been me, but i felt that the majority of people were a lot more disrespectful this year, to each other, the land and the festival itself and thats the major reason that next year im just gonna hit a bunch of smaller fests.
not in the slightest...and i actually expected to be a little let down, because i definitely felt stronger about last year's lineup and i figured that a lot of the good times i had last year were going to be due to the 'new' value of it having been my first bonnaroo.
i couldn't have been more wrong; in almost every way imaginable i had a better time or was more successful than last year. it's been said before but is worthy of saying again: bonnaroo is what you make of it.
i can only imagine how much better 'roo is going to be when there's a lineup i can REALLY get behind again
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

Let's evaluate it economically. I saw Van Morrison last year at Nikon at Jones Beach. James Hunter opened and that was a bonus if you could get the noisy Long Islanders to shut their mouths and listen to some soul music. Tickets with service charges and delivery charges were greater than $350.00. Yeah they were great seats. I made sure I got good seats because my wife likes Van the Man and I wanted to turn her on to James Hunter. She got sick my daughter went and was less than satisfied with the old guy singing.
I paid less than $200.00 for my Bonnaroo ticket. My biggest problem was figuring out who I would see and who I would MISS!!!! Yeah I paid a couple of hundred in gas and wear and tear on the old motor vehicle. I bought some vittles and refreshments with me. It was dusty and hot, but I was scoping those issues on this board before I went so I expected the weather might try to ruin my groove. It didn't.
I met some truly wonderful people. People at Nikon at Jones Beach have a difficult time acknowledging one another's existence.
I am on this board still and Roo 07 is over. Why? I want to be prepared to have an even more amazing time at Roo 08!
