I regret that I: -only caught the end of Rodrigo y Gabriela (I hadn't heard them before I walked by their set after catching Clutch, who coincidentally kind-of disappointed me).
Oh man.. are you serious about Clutch!? It was one of the best sets that I'd seen all weekend... Prob one of the most energetic sets I've ever seen! To each their own though...
They indeed played well and are an awesome band. But I'm not familiar with their newer stuff, and I just wasn't feeling it. I was hoping for some stuff off of Elephant Riders or Transnational Speedway League. And what I saw of Rodrigo y Gabriela, since I'm a guitarist, utterly amazed me. That's why I wish I could have seen that instead.
1) leaving Rod y Gab early (left right as they started stairway, so at least i got to see one and wish you were here). 2) not realizing that people hadnt figured out the pit by friday and making an effort to get in there for tool. 3) not trying to rest every moment possible to catch more late stuff.

- leaving Rodrigo y Gabriela before they even started (my friend and I were so drunk and it seemed like they took FOREVER to come out) -took more pictures (but it makes me feel better that most people on here feel the same way) -bought the damn bootleg shirt that I talked down so much about (turns out sober that it isn't that bad) -not left Sunday afternoon and missed Wolfmother and White Stripes -not taken the damn shrooms on Sunday morning that made me SOOO dehydrated -met some amazing woman so I can finally settle down and get married =) (and damn that would make a great "how did ya meet?" story!) -OH YEAH! not have missed DJ Shadows set because I thought there would be a party back at the campsite!
2) leaving too late to get to the superjam and realize i cant see the stage
3) not going to dj shadow or shasha and digweed
4) not forcing my friend to miss his test on thursday so we can get there in time to see everyone on thursday (p.s. why are teachers so damn cruel?- she wouldnt even let him take the test EARLY)
1) Wish I had been able to see Gov't Mule...just couldn't stay awake!!
2) Wish I had known more about the Inforoo camp so I coulda met some of you all!! (DEFINITELY next year!!)
3) Wish I had brought beer...it would have saved me mucho money!!
I couldn't stay awake during that show either! I almost fell asleep standing up - so bad. And then when our friend came back with all these great stories and all...

My only regret is not moving to Tent Only...we were about 45 minutes away from Centeroo so I never went back to my tent unless it was the end of the day.
Not waiting around for some of the Superjam Not watching more of String Cheese Not watching more of Gov't Mule Answering my phone at 4:15 Friday afternoon, which inevitably ruined my mood for the whole weekend. Losing my camera on Sunday. Losing my Warren Haynes guitar pick on Sunday.
Oh man.. are you serious about Clutch!? It was one of the best sets that I'd seen all weekend... Prob one of the most energetic sets I've ever seen! To each their own though...

Yeah... RodGab played amazingly well.. I agree. If you haven't gotten Clutch's "From Beale St to Oblivion," do yourself a favor and get it. It's one of my picks for top new album of 2007.
missed many acts i wanted to see. most were early in day when fatigue & heat made it hard to leave camp. it was nice to have a camp spot (ga) where we could hear what stage very well. so i did get to hear lots of acts from camp without having to deal with leaving camp.
missed a bunch on thurs. due to just getn in and set up. caught clutch which was a very nice surprise.
acts i wanted to see ocms mute math gogol bordello (hope to catch them soon) dixie dirt
what stage from camp mardi gras indians (support new orleans) bobby police (so glad i didnt waste any energy goin in for that) watched screens from camp and it was all sting(k) one shot of stewart i saw i swear he was rolling his eyes ziggy tool
did silent disco, ferris wheel last year
missed comedy & movie tent once again (too hard, roo time too precious)
[ When I saw them last October in East Lansing they were much better, they just seemed to be having a really fun time at that show. ] Hey, was that show at the MSU Auditorium? because I was at that show and yeah, they were awesome!!
I feel asleep by the trash can right as you walked into the lower entrance to What stage three songs into Ben Harper, although the sleep served for the late night Gov't Mule watching that needed to be done
PS. Im Back
Unfortunately i had to spend an entire ten days in Nags Head starting the wendsday after Bonnaroo and I had no internet access....its a tough life but somebodys gotta do it
1) i was about 8-10 minutes late to STS9 from SCI and just barely missed "Breathe In"
2) i stayed up (had no other choice, heheh) a few hours after Sasha & Digweed, and slept through John Butler Trio.
other than those two minor regrets, i lucked out on several occasions. The Bonnaroo Gods were on my side most of the weekend, and my karma was through the roof!

I regret not staying for the end of Mule's set (heard War Pigs in the distance after we had left centeroo), not taking more pictures, staying up all night on the ride down and crashing early Thursday night, not seeing Franti and Spearhead, missing the Nightwatchman, and not doing the Silent Disco
i wish i would have taken more pictures of everything. i was inconvenient to carry a camera thou. and i was afraid of losing it. and i wish i would have been able to see feist. and wish i could have stayed longer to see the police. i really do love them alot. but left early to get an AMAZING spot for the flaming lips!
I wish I went to more acts during the day, I missed all of the earlier daytime shows in order to save energy for all of the latenites, I should have just gone for it anyway, I am very glad I was there for all of the late nites, all nite, including Thursday, that was a good first for me.
I regret: Not coming to Bonnaroo sooner. (this was my first) Not taking many pics of crowd shots, I only have 2 pics of me at Bonnaroo Our camp site being a 2o minute walk to Centeroo
All in all, how can you have regrets after an amazing weekend like that?!
For those of you regretting bands, be patient. Most of the time the bands you miss you get to see later on anyway. Case in point - last year I gave up seeing Matisyahu and saw Sonic Youth instead. I waited a whole year, but I'm getting to see him next Wednesday! So, what goes around does come around eventually, even in the Bonnaroo world
And think, all those other things (like the Silent Disco and the Ferris Wheel) you'll get to do next year anyway
