Honestly, this thread is what makes me regret missing bonnaroo most. The stuff that happens there. I always hear people read that bonnaroo has been ruined, but from what I'm reading here bonnaroo-ians are as wierd, eccentric, fun and crazy as ever
whenever people say that bonnaroo sucked or that theyre never coming back it makes me doubt them and their actions. i even read about a first and last timer on bonnaroo's facebook. it just- makes me feel sad inside.
i think if you go in with the same roo attitude you'll attract the same people you have in the past. there are always going to be whiners and people who arent going to be cut out for roo. there always HAVE been. but if you go into it with an open heart and offer kind words and help to everyone, even the bros then all you do is offer them a good roo and be on your way with your own crowd to party the weekend away the ROO way.
i had a fantastic group of neighbors this year- i didnt even get to hang out with my friends once. we camped in different areas and i cant say that my roo was even slightly ruined because of it. i had a fantastic time, just like i had last year and just like i'll have next year.
The naked guy after Buffalo Springfield outside the side entrance was truly disturbing to me and my addled mind. When I walked up, he was on the ground, being strapped down to a stretcher board, screaming the "N" word at security and telling people to kill him. I was mortified until a beautiful girl with a hula-hoop just came up to me and told me I needed to leave.
Anyone else see the guy fishing for hippies that night? He had a large, flashing glow toy tied to a string, would hide the string, and then sit 5 feet away and pull it away when anyone walked up. I was crying laughing at some of the people that stumbled up and had no idea what was going on.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I videotaped that. I thought I was watching National Geographic: Hippie Edition
holy shit! we were sitting our camp, partaking in some corn, watching people walk by as our entertainment, and this guy just nonchalantly walks by wearing overalls, carrying a paint bucket and ladder. we stopped talking and after he passed shared a collective WTF??? moment. I wasn't sure i'd actually seen that. This video explains a lot... kind of.

Did anybody see the guy dressed as Pinocchio but with like, near-pornographic short-shorts on? I loved that guy!!
I also saw a guy come out of the pay showers, all shiny clean and refreshed, stop right outside the door and promptly ralph all over himself. The whole line of people just went 'Awwwwwww duuuuuuuuude...'... poor guy!
not completely weird, but I was just resting by the cut through for vip between what and which and someone came up to me and started petting my hair.... I was completely sober and a little confused.
Also saw some poor girl in a dress slip and fall in that river of whatever it was flowing behind the portapotties after either GT or Bassnectar. That had to be one of my biggest, "Damn that sucks!" moments.
That, was piss. I braved the river and made it to "The Men's Room" giant port a pottie, and a few of the giant containers that were supposed to hold the pee, were in fact leaking. A few of the pipes leading to the big tanks were also leaking, and oh man, there was just soo much frickin' pee.
Is that why water from the fill station near the Which stage started to literally taste and smell like porta potties for a while? That was sick. I hope no one got sick drinking it.

our neighbors (camp jabba the hutt) decided to do a crowbar bashing of most (all?) of their stuff on sunday. when they started in on the van, they said there would be a prize if anyone thrashed a hole in it (but NO window bashing)...so we all had a go! it was crazy and funny and i have to admit, it felt good. here's my turn:

Was walking back from Arcade Fire and walked by the Bassnectar set and saw some chubby kid laying on the ground indian style with his head in his lap. He was pretty unresponsive and I thought he was dead. We went to get him some help. Hope the kid is alright. Damn shame people just kept walking by him. Guess they were fucked up too.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
During the Scissor Sisters' set, I found Jesus. He was adorned with glow-sticks and LED fingertips. I think this is proof that God and Jesus are cool with people being gay.

During Primus I took a few minutes to lay down. An extremely spun out wookette came up to me and started rubbing my belly and my face and said " lie there and melt into the skyyyy!" I offered her a glowstick thinking it would distract her and then send her on her way but she declined. She then said "I'll give you my baby I just had today for a cigarette" then handed me one of those creepy little rubbery fetus things the religious nutjobs were handing out. After I gave her a smoke she grabbed my face, planted a kiss on my cheek and danced away.

I find this the craziest post of the thread, by far... Did they give any reason to why they were ruining their car and all their belongings?!
they didn't, but they didn't seem crazy or angry or anything either, so bizarre! at one point the guy said "oh yeah go for it, this isn't even our van!" and we kind of freaked out, laughing nervously, but realized quickly he was kidding...thank god.

about 6am on thursday morning i wake up to see some kid walking down the road towards BFE with a small orange cone on his head, holding a wood pole with a bubble machine duck taped to the top... he had cut off jeans no shoes and a vest on. walking down the road smiling his ass off blowing bubbles with his "bubble wand"...

They sure acted like it when Bootsy pulled him up on stage from the crowd and paused for photos. I'm sure Kareem's seen P-funk a few times back in the day.
Reminds me of the most amusing "something-on-a-stick" moment at Bonnaroo: the guy with the green Sims diamond hanging over him. I saw him multiple times over the weekend.
I saw him many times! And he was in character the entire time! Two of my friends went up to him and he spoke Simlish. Haha
Thinking back on my Roo experience I think the craziest thing I saw was the guy going for a run. Isn't Bonnaroo a good enough excuse to take a couple days off from your cardio regime?

Yes!! I saw a couple runners, one of whom was well over 40 and running pretty late (10ish?) in terms of heat. Holy heart attack waiting to happen.

i saw two runners! a young guy and a young girl, at separate times but always around 7-8am. both looked pretty fit (like they would maybe go for a run no matter where they are) but still, it's bonnaroo!

I cycle on a semi-regular basis. I wonder if they'll let me park a bike at the gate and go riding. There looks to be a lot of good riding roads around the farm.
