ok this is driving me insane. i need help with figuring out what site i was in. like i said as soon as you got to the end of shakedown you take a left and it wasnt the first site but the second. im staring at a map in uder confusion. stupid short term memory
Saw this little party happening during Dãm-Funk & Master Blazter, they eventually had a full on square dance happening with probably 25 people.
I like what I see happening here
I have to agree, this made me so happy. I might be in love with those boys.
And this happened like six years ago but it's still one of my favorite interactions at roo, (plus reminiscing and hearing other people's funny moments is the best way to pass the time) So I am walking down Shakedown with my friend and we see this older man it wild white hair, a bushy white beard, a long white robe and a giant walking stick, he is standing beside the road just watching everyone. He doesn't says anything until we are about to walk past him, and then he points to us and yells "I LOOK TO YOU JEDI MASTER!!!" We kinda stopped, we looked behind us and around us, there was no one. He was definitely talking to us, my friend backs up and I keep walking, he continues to point and watch me as I walked. (it's at this point I realize who he was actually pointing to...) I was the the Jedi Master and he was looking to me... at that moment my life made sense.
Also on a side note, that blue glitter/contact guy was a dick. I don't remember which late night show it was but he was standing beside me, I was making a point not to stand too close to him (for glitter and sweat purposes) but he was such a jerk to everyone around him. At one point in time he turned to face me and just stared at me for like, ten minutes....that is a long time to stare at someone you do not know. I asked him what he was doing and he just stared.....Well, I took that as a challenge and naturally I stared back, looking just as angry as he did. I half expected him to attack me, but alas, many, many tense minutes later I won that shit and he went away. Small victories...
At our camp we were parked next to some very awkward teens in a big tent. After the first night behind our van we found a plastic bag looked in it and to my dismay someone had poop in it. We were also twenty feet from the porta potties. So being hungover and in the heat i yelled at everyone at my camp to come look and we all just laughed and snapped a pic. The next day the bag was gone so I assumed they heard us making fun and picked it up.
At sleigh bells the crowd was too much and walking back through the crowd some girl happened to puke on my feet and I freaked the quack out. But then looked at her and she was having some really bad trip.
Definitely NOT normal there (despite sda having a similar experience, lol)
Just one to report that my first bonnaroo in 2007, started off friday morning with the same exact story -- except it being my ex-gf's car. So, maybe more normal then you think...
I saw Jim James walking out of Eminem and heading to Dr. John, I think. Also, I saw dozens of people passing out in front of me because of heat problems (I assume). It's scary at first, but it's pretty funny afterwards. Also, I was there for the whole naked tripping guy thing Saturday night. He started stripping near the refill station that's by the charging tent. He started yelling things like "GET IT OFF ME, IT'S ALL OVER ME!" right as he was taking off his clothes. Then he went into fetal position on the ground and he was saying all kinds of paranoid druggy stuff. A guy walked by and said something about naked guys' small penis and naked guy got up, chased him and tackled him. Then I left because it was actually pretty disturbing while it was happening. I would like to know what happened to that guy afterwards.
The guy who climbed the support beam at This Tent during Scissor Sisers was pretty crazy. He was hanging by his feet over the crowd.
Yeah, that was our craziest thing...the guy was dangling upside down from the diagonal support beam at the back of This, stage left, emptying water bottles across the packed crowd with wide swings of his arms.
I didn't see anything overly crazy this year but there was some fun ridiculous stuff:
Wednesday night I was walking around the campground with the two girls I came with and we passed this Santa looking old dude sitting on a lawn chair by the road. He asked me "Have you seen my dog? His name is Opium." That was funny and sad.
Seeing Pee-Wee on a stick around throughout the festival was fun. I always love seeing whatever ridiculous poop people find to put up on poles on festivals. Like it's something I knew nothing about before going to my first festival, Bonnaroo 2010, but now know it's a festival staple wherever.
The amount of people at the Sleigh Bells show was insane. I was up front, but had to leave to go help a friend who was on the outside of the tent. It was actually fun watching the show from there because we got to see how far the crowd stretched back. Dudes on campers outside the fence were watching from atop their campers on chairs. This dude climbed up one of the support cables of the tents and people handed him their whatever on a stick so he was rocking that and glow stuff. With him up there, the glow and sticks everywhere, the huge crowd, late night, it was a great way to kick off Roo.
Saw a Braveheart looking body paint dude at one of the water stations in the left back corner of What. He was in a speedo, covered in blue glitter paint, and had dark blue contact lenses on. Said he was going to be at Scissor Sisters that night because it'd be criminal for a guy with that much body glitter on not to go.
There was a naked blowup doll getting tossed around the crowd for much of Robyn that was fun to watch, and the cameraman followed it for a bit too.
Last year i seen opera on a stick probably at least twice a day.
Is this what you mean by 'opera' on a stick?
I saw her and snapped a pic during the Atmosphere show, kick ass btw

My girlfriend and I were sitting way back in the main stage area casually enjoying dinner and MMJ, when this guy comes up and just stands beside us.
He's obviously tripping HARD on something, but he's grooving like it's the best concert he's ever seen. The guy literally has no idea where he is, as evidenced by the fact that he's wearing a Primus t-shirt and yells "YEAHHH LES!" in between songs. He thinks MMJ is Primus, and he's at the wrong stage.
He seemed to be enjoying the concert so we let him be.

[red]WARNING: GRAPHIC POST AHEAD, PUT DOWN YOUR FOOD BEFORE READING[/RED] i honestly don't know how this slipped my mind. but i was walking away from the left screen of which stage during ray lamontagne...
...
and i almost stepped on a bloody tampon covered in lil cockroaches.
....
that was the most fuucked up thing i've ever seen anywhere!
I think there should be a warning before this post... I was eating when I read that, almost blew chunks all over my computer, definitely lost my appetite
Let me see, the craziest/nastiest and then funniest thing I believe I have seen at Roo is some woman walking into a very nasty porto potty barefooted. When she exited said porto potty she made sure to use hand sanitize on her hands. It first made me want to vomit then the fact that she was barefooted in a nasty porto potty but made sure to sanitizer her hands was just funny.
Second, while at WSP set last year some dude passed out hard behind us. No one could wake him. They called security over and when they finally got the dude awake and up, he just started dancing. I laughed so hard.

By the Other Tent late at night, saw these two dirty hippies having sex. This was not entirely unusual. The bearded, fedora wearing man smoking a pipe watching the entire thing from less than 6 feet away was the icing though.
If it was between This Tent and The Comedy Tent - I saw the same thing!
