Okay, I know this was a huge thread that was pinned up for one of the past two roos. If roofan or anyone else around the grounds can see the construction of Bonnaroo X, please please please help us out. Please do not flame me for starting this thread. I love this place. Glad to be back
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.
I think they usually start about a month beforehand... so probably mid-May there will be some action on the Farm. Roofan is good about letting us know the minute things start going down.
I was on the grounds watering Matt's tree in mid February during the midweek. At that point there were at least 7-10 people working on the permanent stage. I have a picture I can post later but it is not a great one.
there have been several posted on the facebook, similar to the one of the What Stage. I LOVE seeing the Farm like that.. I wish they could install some kind of web cam so we could view it year-round... HOw sweet would that be?!
I was over there on Tuesday and took some pics. Those might be mine on fb. The one above is not however. There is nothing going on at this point other than the continued work on the main stage. Yall know I will let you know as soon as the first truck pulls in and will have pics for you.

Is that a wooden roof or an aluminum/metal type deal? Do you think the sides and back will be covered too or do you think they will just do the same temporary sides as they have in the past??
Yeah, all of centeroo has new grass planted. Its not bad really, but there is a lot of weeds in it. It will be nice by festival time though, I am sure. Look at that pic of the Fuse Barn, you can see the new grass outside the front of it, now look to the right of the picture, "behind" the barn, see all those yellow weeds? That sh!t is everywhere out there....
Do they usually paint the fountain the week of when there are more workers around to help? I loved the design that I helped suggest on Twitter (I said something trippy and blacklight reactive. Was soo surprised to see just that. a friend even said he saw blacklights but i couldnt really tell) ...but I think they could make it look a big more professional/less drippy if they take more time to do it.
