So, for a number of reasons I decided I had to attend Bonnaroo this year.
Prior to February I had heard of it but hadn't really paid much attention to it.;I stumbled across it just days before tickets went on sale and bought them the first day.
Shortly thereafter I discovered Inforoo. I responded to someone else post on one of the introduce yourself threads, she responded... after a couple of E-mail's and one Google search later I discovered that I recognized her name and that we had gone to elementary school together 27 years ago!
Shortly before the show I was in a bar and was talking to one of the girls that worked there. Out of the blue she mentions that she's going to this concert in Tennessee in a few weeks. Shocked, I mention Bonnaroo and she say "yes that's it... why? "I tell her I'm going too and we have an instant connection and we soon become fast friends.
A few weeks I get an e-mail via classmates.com from another friend from elementary school. this is getting weird,I don't live in New Orleans anymore and I haven't encountered anyone from school in decades. I look on her myspace page and there it is amongst her friends..."The Bonnaroo Experience". She was supposed to go this year but had a last minute change of plans.
I can't turn around without encountering some form of odd Bonnaroo coincidence. I know this is nowhere as good as the "Bonanroo Love Story" thread but it seems amazing how many times this keeps coming up in my life right now. At this point I don't care who plays next year, I just want to go back for all the good karma I've experienced as a result of this years trip.
Normally I come back from a vacation and feel like I still need a few more days off. But, after Roo, I felt totally renewed and was happy when I got back to work. And *that*, my friends, has NEVER happened before.
i think your story is great and if it makes you feel good then its just as good as our bonnaroo love story...although our love story rocks...btw i live near New Orleans and suitcase murphy will be moving here oct 1st...you should attend Voodoo fest!
