Also acidjazz, I feel you I think we should have another vote spot for skankymud. hahahahaha dude that is classic, no one else even considered the skanky mud. If we get another vote opition i will change from dust to skankymud. If you dont know what sknakymud is, it is the mud/shit/pee/beer/trash that is basically sewage in my mind. Altough if you didnt walk around that stuff I cant feel for you, I recall alot of people in sandells stopping right through it like they were wearing mud boots, then they would get stuck and have to go in reverse to get out like a car. ahahahahahaha SKANKYMUD should also be a new Bonnaroo word for new people.
Well, since I wasn't present during any of the rainstorms, I hated the dust, I coughed up crap for weeks. I may sound stupid saying this, but... Here's to '08 being a rainy year. I've always wanted to experience a rainy festival, ever since being a kid and seeing clips of Woodstock 94.
I for one didn't really mind the dust at the time(I coughed up crap for a little while afterward)
I wouldn't mind a LITTLE mud.. but huge mudpits of doom don't really interest me.. neither does going to bed covered in mud, packing up a muddy filthy wet tent, etc..

^^^yeah, actually, when I said messy fun, it was more of a one time thing, back when I was a lad of 20... I would hate the same intensity of mud now... and mud is a great way to spread hepititus
(they both really suck for many different reasons, by the way... some year, some kind of perfect mix of neither would be really sweet)
If dust bothers folks a lot, I'd suggest bringing a bandana or dustmask and avoid rubbing your eyes(or wear some cool goggles!)
I did opt out of a few What Stage midday shows that werent must sees because of the heat, in favor of a tent or which stage show.. but the extreme heat only lasts a few hours a day. Mud and rain can last 24/7. I go to roo not only to see the acts I know, but those I don't know... and if its pouring down rain I probably won't be in favor.

I have only been to two bonnaroos, both of which were weather extremes. The monsoon of '04 and the drought of '07. That being said, the dust was worse. Jammin' out to Primus with 3 of my friends at 3am, standing in the middle of a mini lake/mud puddle barefoot with my pj pants rolled up is one of my favorite bonnaroo memories. Sure it's messy, but it's BONNAROO! Obviously you wouldn't be there if you couldn't handle it. being in centeroo this year sucked when a whirlwind of dust would come by or one of those little 4 wheelers would drive by. I would highly suggest a neatsheet to anyone attending bonnaroo. it's soft like a regular sheet but as waterproof as a tarp. plus it folds up easily and small and can be hosed off at any watering station and dries quickly.

I vote dust. blech!
I just watched the original woodstock last night, and I've got to say that even though the rain interrupts the show, the long term effects of the dust suck! plus, I work in a natural soap/bath shop where things are mostly unpackaged, and my coworker freaked me out yesterday saying that smelling the dusty bath bombs too much or things with dust inhaled too much will really mess up your body. so no dust for me! I'll still go to roo though
"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."
central park in the summertime... the closest thing to nature
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
mud, though fun at time to slide through and roll around in, is worse if not in moderation b/c it can ruin yer shit...get a coupla bandannas and wear shades and the dust will actually make everything all surreal.......like fog at an outside late night sts9 show (allgood 07)
I have to say I was diggin the mud. As a usual prim and proper type of gal, I wasn't afraid to get a little down and dirty at the roo. Not that I really had a choice!! It didn't bother me one bit getting into my sleeping bag at night with muddy feet! My sister has asthma and the dust really was hard on her. We visited the medical tent the second last night for a breathing treatment, so I say the dust was defintiely worst!!

GO MUD!!! Dust is soooo much worse...besides being sick I got dust in my right eye and had blurred vision (no substances caused this one) the last day. I must have strached it or something because it still gives me trouble. And the mud is so squishy on the toes
