I saw the Sims guy a bunch through out the weekend. I thought the green thing was from a video game, but I've also never played the Sims before. It was pretty cool irregardless. The Pee-wee on a stick was great, saw him at plenty of shows.

We saw a crazy naked guy after Buffalo Springfield on Saturday. He attacked one of the taxi's outside of Centeroo, climed all over it like a monkey while yelling something. Eventually he pulled himself upside down and fell face down in the dirt. It was quite amusing.

Saw pee-wee several times, as well as the inflatable doll and the old man in the tutu. There was also a very large, flamboyant man in only a tutu (different guy) prancing around sprinkling imaginary fairy dust during Panic and also a group of about 6 kids covered in glowsticks doing some crazy dance through the crowd and ther guy in the back of the line is wearing a mexican poncho and sombrero. I don't know why but I found this absolutely hilarious. Somehow he missed the glowstick memo. Grossest/weirdest thing I saw all weekend... a girl pooping in the trees at our campground. Right on the edge and not even trying to hide it. She just looked me dead in the eye as I stared at her in confusion and disgust. The portos were maybe a 1 minute walk....
I saw a guy at Graveyard wearing a black trench coat. Underneath that he was wearing a blue three piece suit, tie and all, and this was during the afternoon! I ended up near him and I asked 'Dude, don't you ever sweat in all of that?'. He said 'not really' and he was right. I watched him for a while and I never saw one drop of sweat on him. Very very strange. He was a nice guy though and seemed very lucid. He said he was from Philly.

We saw him! I walked by dripping with sweat and just started at him in awe.

I also saw the guy with the blow up doll in the pit at Robert Plant. He was an average looking guy in his 50s I would guess. He kept holding the doll over his head and shaking it every time Robert would look our way. Percy never seemed to notice and I am sure he has definitely seen weirder in his time.

I was not far from the guy rolling/flailing/molesting the sand at Opeth. I tried to get a few pics but someone kept getting in my way. I also have a couple of pics of the older guy with the blow up doll. If it's the same one I was standing right next to him for a bit at Lionize.
I saw the cops try to shake someone down for the first time this year. I was walking up Shakedown going back to camp about 5 am Sunday. This kid a bit in front of me stops and fires up what looks like a joint. Almost immediately two cops come up on either side of him, grab his arms and start yelling "Whoa, whoa there! What the hell do you think you're doing? Tell us where it's at!" He explained to them he rolled his own tobacco. They still tried harassing him and walked him all the way up to Brushy Branch before they left him alone.
Friday night around 4 am, my friends and I were walking down the road that leads to day parking. This guy was tripping and rolling around on the ground screaming "OH GOD!" while 4 cops stood around him. He would attempt to get up, and a cop would yell at him to stay the quack down. The funniest part was one cop had his camera phone out videotaping the whole thing.
I felt sorry for the guy because he was gonna wake up in jail with no idea what happened. And he's gonna be extra pissed when he realizes he missed the last 2 days of Bonnaroo. When will these crazy kids learn?

During Ray this couple was passed out on this blanket all messed up on god knows what. Throw up was everywhere and the man was sleeping in it and occasionally licking it. When medical attention came the man was able to walk it off. I thought for sure he was going to need a stretcher. Champ.
After Panic I went with some people back to staff camping to a little party and some guy got jumped by like 3 guys. His front teeth got knocked out. It was pretty messed up.
On a lighter note I saw Blake and Anders from Workaholics.
Haha did anyone see that 50/60 year old man sitting in a chair at Primus just reading a newspaper? Weird.
Also saw a guy whose wristband didn't scan. At first he tried to walk away like he didn't hear security yelling at him. Then he started running and this giant security guy chased him and tackled him down. Craziness.
I was reading waiting before Bruce Hornsby, not gonna lie.
I'm sure I saw some 10-ish year old girl smoking with her dad during (IIRC) Bruce as well.
I saw the guy with the blowup doll a couple times. Also had some kid offer me coke during WSP, after he asked if I could drive him home to Connecticut.
We were at our camp in Pod 11 on Friday late afternoon, and getting ready to head to Centeroo, when we heard what we thought was a taxi's engine. After a little investigating, we realized that it was a Security 4 wheeler. We could not see what was going on, but we could hear everything. Security was questioning what sounded like a young man about selling NO NO WORD!!!. They said they had been watching him wander around the campground for hours. He apparently had been busted the night before, stripped of his NO NO WORD!!! and money and allowed to stay at the festival!? Well this time, Security and his Sherriff friends that showed up quickly were pissed. The kid claims he is lost...can't find his campsite. Sherriff finds $500 cash on him after taking his money the night before. Long story short, they tell him to get on the 4 wheeler and they will take him to find his campsite. Sherriff says (and I quote)..."if you grab for my gun, I'll shoot you. If you try to jump off, I'll run your ass over" and "I'll put your ass in the federal penetentiary" I think they ended up cutting his wristband and kicking him out, but 5 minutes later, they were back looking for him or someone else, but this time, they were riding full speed, on two wheels around corners and nearly hit my fiance' and I walking back from the portos. Absolutely ridiculous behavior in my opinion.
Pretty sure this same kid passed out at our campsite a couple of times over the course of the weekend. If not, it was someone with the same thing happening to him.

I was at Smith Westerns around noonish on Sunday and there was a gentlemen laying down a few feet in front of me when all of a sudden he turns over and proceeds to vomit a few times and decides to cover it with sand. At first I think he was there alone, but when he got up to leave a few minutes later he told his buddy who was directly in front of me that he needed some alone time. His friend didn't move a muscle when he started throwing up.
I tried to warn some people not to sit/stand in it, but no one seemed to mind.

A girl fell out while we were working our way through the crowd to get to Florence. Just ... boom, and her head bounced off the ground. The medics were there in seconds, fortunately.
Saw a bald old guy with a hippie poncho wacking it into a canteen, during mmj. I was pretty disturbed and alittle bit pissed. Then the next night some girl was running around in the pitch dark asking randoms if she could bite them.. One guy was like "umm how hard?" and then he ran away screaming before she had the chance to takea bite. Then I see her run up to a guy with a suit with a bunch of beanie baby bears attached to it, she asked him if she could bite one of his bears and the guy turns around, ends up being the poncho wackoff guy from mmj!
Bored toward the front of the Meters show, I stood behind/next to a girl who was texting the whole time. Curious what was so important to her, yet not important enough to go sit down somewhere and actually pay attention to what she was doing, I started reading over her shoulder. For a good 45 minutes she was alternating between texting her boyfriend, and DIRTY DIRTY sexting another guy she was obviously cheating on her boyfriend with. The difference in tone between the 2 conversations she was simultaneously having was incredible. She kept holding her phone up to get the texts to send, as the signal in that spot under the tent was spotty.
I kept waiting for her to mess up and cross texts. I was planning on saying something witty to her on my way out from under the tent, but before I left, some bumped into her pretty hard, knocking her phone into the sand. I couldn't tell if someone stepped on it. She got all pissed and left through the side to clean her phone off. She's got some bad juju karma points coming to her. So freakin DIRTY...

I believe it was Thursday early evening; we were leaving Centeroo to go chill at camp for a bit and there was this guy dragging a very dirty stuffed zebra with stuffing coming out of it with a rope he tied around it. We kept walking and as we were passing through some tents he popped up from behind one with the zebra in tow, begging us to kick it! When we declined, he started whining and demanding we kick the zebra. We left him there ranting towards the heavens that all he wanted was for someone to kick his zebra. Poor zebra looked pretty bad already; I didn't want to kick it and then have it come back to haunt me late night with my mind enhanced.
Hahaha I know the loin cloth guy, been going to roo with him for 4 years now, didn't get a chance to hang out with him. Sooo funny he is on here. Anyone see my large friend with the painted man boobs? Or me in my bright green bib overalls and wizard hat?
