Oleander, it's simply not for everybody!
If Bonnaroo was something that everyone could handle, there would be more fests of this size going on every year. Nobody should give folks grief for not enjoying themselves. I would tend to agree with Ziggy on most of what he said, but if you can't swing it -- ya can't swing it! With a crowd of that size, there are always going to be some issues that can't be overcome.
Personally, I'll be back. With each passing year, the place feels more like home!
Good lord people. I never said it was for everyone. I simply said that if the lineup was spectacular next year I might be back. Check my first post. Then they guy asked why we said no, so I said why. I never said I would NEVER be back.
AND THANKS FOR THE SMITING. APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A SUPERB TIME.

I wasn't talking to you, becs. I was called out by name by aquariumdrunk. That's who I was talking to.
At this point, I am the last of all my friends to have done every single Bonnaroo. That's hard to believe living in Tennessee and all, but it's become reality. I gotta keep the streak alive. Well, there is that, and the fact that it's the most amazing musical experience I've had outside of Phish and the Grateful Dead.
I'll be back. I'd already have my VIP tickets for 2008, but it was my friend, Dan, who won that Silent Auction! bastid! But we've gone together almost every year (he had to miss 06), so we are already busy planning next years trip... TOUR BUS SYTLE!!!

Oleander, if you have a medical problem with the heat i understand that, and it would definitely suck. Bonnaroo is definitely the hottest american festival, and you may enjoy a different one more. There are now a few that are rivaling, or surpassing in some eyes, bonnaroo's lineup. It is what we make it, but you still have to live within your means.
4. The heat. 5. The heat. 6. The heat. The heat made it impossible for me to enjoy most of the day. I was miserable most of the time and I just can't do the heat. 7. I have felt like crap since getting back. I want my vacations to be refreshing.
hmmm well I can't help you with 1-3, but I can tell you that 4-7 are easily resolved with the addition of an RV. It's the miracle cure for all things Bonnaroo. Don't leave home for Bonnaroo without one!
oh, and, btw, you can count on the Roo 2008 lineup to be amazing. It always is ;-P
VIP for sure. RV if we can swing it. Might just buy a cheapish used trailer with AC that I can tow behind my wagon instead of rent the RV. Those rentals look like highway robbery!

As Kinky Friedman says, why the hell not?!?
I hope to have the funds for an RV rental or somesuch, but I will definately try for VIP, next year around. I'm also going to perhaps get a KOA site or a room booked in advance. I advise people to do this so they don't get left out in the heat, etc... or stuck alone from other people, as I was this year.
When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me

Yeah....I saw that KOA campground beside Bonnaroo...that looked pretty sweet. I talked to one guy staying there and he loved it. Might look into that if I want to see the acts next year.
Didn't mean to offend anyone or start an "argument"...I was just stating why I might not go next year. I never say never, though. (And as far as the heat and my health, I did very well considering everything I thought would happen.)
I had a great time, but i have alot of vac planned for 08 but if i can make it happen it will be trip #03 for me . Everything was good my neighbors were cool, but i pretty much stayed in centeroo from 1pm to 330am with Small breaks before headliners and late night shows. As far as talking at shows the only one I really noticed it at was the police show and that was because of my distance from the stage and the song breaks were long even I started to talk to my friends and neighbors.I Met a lot of pretty cool people. But most of the time i was to busy dancing badly(really bad... but with alot of enthusiasm ) to talk to anyone. The only real down part about the whole trip was I had my camelpak lifted from my site and some how missed the rt 40 east exit and stayed on 75 till i was 15min away from Kentucky but even that was a fun experience at the gas station. Oleander sorry about your time and sorry for who ever smited you here some karma to make up for that.
depends on the line-up, money and childcare but I doubt it - Last year was my first year and I was well prepared and had a blast, everything was awesomely cool even tho we had some small problems.
This year (as I have said before) the vibe was just really different for me. I don't know it it was the make up of the corwd or what - I tend to think it was because I really enjoyed all the music I saw.
chalck another up to seeing what the lineup is. This year we got to see everyone that wasnt there last year so it was awsome. Not quite sure what Roo can do to keep me hooked..but this is very conditional espcially since I I will probably chnage my mind in a month two.
right now it is the 'allright been there 2 years done that' sorta thing...but knowing my love for Roo...lineup or no...I'll probably be back
(what can I say, it ids my summer vacation and I'm addicted)

Haha yeah I will put it to him that way - it might just work!
I said no. I went in '03,'04, and '05 but I knew when I was leaving the farm in '05 that it would probably be my last year. The line up the last two years haven't blown me away and the size of the festival is just exhausting. It's just personal preference. For my musical taste I can see most of the bands I would want to see at 'roo at a smaller more intimate festival closer to home. I just always got the feeling at 'roo that I couldn't sit down and rest for awhile because I would always be missing something. I'll always have many memories from bonnaroo and I got turned onto some great music. Even though the line ups are moving away from my tastes, I think it's cool that more and more people will get to experience bonnaroo when they probably wouldn't have gone the first few years. Bonnaroo was my first fest so I'll always remember it fondly for that.
