I saw this one "clean vibes" girl at the gate be a real bitch to this one girl who wasn't paying attention and didn't recycle her bottle in the right receptacle. The vibes girl kept incessantly yelling at her about putting the bottle in the right place, and then stomped off on her high horse!

One thing I noticed while leaving that my friend just reminded me about yesterday was seeing a car who had tied their trash bag to their car and took off driving with it still tied on. Shortly thereafter, it ripped and trash went everywhere. They did stop and clean up most of it though, so atleast they corrected their moment of ignorance.

Well, to the girl's defense, they do have to sort all that stuff out..so she was really just trying to make her job easier.
Much, much karma to Clean Vibes though...looks great! I'm ready for next year already!!!!

Actually, I think people were making her job easier by actually using the recycling center at all instead of just leaving it on the ground (which pissed me off!!). I'm not saying it shouldn't be sorted correctly, but she should have not been bitchy and more like the guy that talked to us after my bf put a plastic cup in the recycle bin instead of the compost bin. He was nice and spoke calmly and told us the difference between throwing it away and composting it.
I saw a lot of people helping pick up after the shows and I thought that was really cool. After the police show, someone pulled out a few bags and handed them out, we picked stuff up in our area and then left the bag for other to use. I know some people have said that is what the CV people are there for....but looking at those fields after the concerts...some scary stuff right there.

I was SUPER impressed with how much effort was put in to making sure almost everything was either recyclable or compostable, and those pics are amazing.....thank you very much CleanVibes...
That place looks surreal again, but in a different way. It's so beautiful! By the end of the weekend, the grass looked charred and trashed. It's a little relieving knowing that we didn't do much permanent damage. The farm is looking sexy once again. Oh yes.
I'm always impressed by Clean Vibes, every year...
I was really intrigued and happy to NOT see them tearing down the main stage by Monday morning this year (clearly a sign that they weren't under the time constraints of a lease anymore). Seemed like a nice moment of dramatic excitement signaling the possibilities of Roo futures...

I was shocked this year at how quickly the crew got the trash picked up. Definitely the quickest of any roos past!
Normally there is still trash out there two weeks later. They had it all gone by the next weekend.
Super job Clean Vibes!!!! Thank you so much.
I was part of the clean up crew, and the paid members of Clean Vibes that were our "supervisors" kept commenting that we were cleaning up better than any past crew. We had a HUGE downpour on Tuesday, but Wednesday was all clear skies and cool wind. I seriously think everyone who can should volunteer. It's not hard, and you get a free ticket and some pretty good catering three times a day. Plus showers, and a HUGE party on Monday night to go to. It's worth the ticket, and so much more.

Oh, and a little side note. By Tuesday mid day, we could no longer recycle anything. There was too much recycling in the pile to be sorted, and last year Clean Vibes stayed on the farm an extra two weeks sorting things out, and AC/ Superfly paid out the nutsack because of it. However, nothing was being sent to a "normal" trash heap. It was being sent to this company called WastAway. What they do is take the garbage that is sent to them, and compact it into usable materials and make park benches, building and construction materials, and various other products. You can check it out here: www.wastaway.com/
Also, I think I had more great experiences with Clean Vibes. It really felt like we were one huge family, pulling with each other. We all knew we were in it together, and everyone was so awesome. Seriously people, if you can, volunteer and give back to Bonnaroo. You will be so happy when you do!

wow thats really awesome.....thats the only real thing that bothers me about 'roo is seeing people just throw their sh!t down on the sacred ground without a second thought about it. Infinite thanks to all the guys at clean vibes.... I spoke to a few of them over the span of the weekend and made sure to share goodies and whatnot, really cool people.

Fertile farm soil + heady leftovers = Little Jamaica, TN?
Yeah, I was always curious about that. I mean, at least one plant has to grow right?
My friend had a spot at his house where he would discard his seeds onto his neighbor's yard. One day we looked outside and saw a plant! It's pretty unreal how well those things can naturally camuflauge themselves. It was nurtured for a while, until his neighbor saw it and ripped it out of the ground. He saw us burning up a few weeks later and tried to bitch at us about God (He's training to become a minister) and making good decisions.
Then he got on his high horse and galloped away into the sunset.
Sorry to get off-topic, but the "seed" discussion made me reminice about that story.
