What crazy stuff did you see?

And this kinda thing makes me stupidly happy. Its these kinda random interactions that I love about Roo. I love this thread and I can't wait for Manchester in June.

Last year there was a guy in the Ben Folds pit who was just hitting people with a rubber penis.

That was interesting.

So something happens each year for me. Last year before major lazer I met a very odd man. As we waited by the stage and made small talk with our neighbors who happened to be there, this random guy comes up. "I'm sorry dude but I need to ask what is with the stick you are huffing?" "Oh this? It's a vicks vapir stick. It totally makes everything more open and free." "Ohhh ok well I don't really know what you mean by that but cool man have a good roo." He then turned and sprayed me in the eyes with it. Causing my capilaries to open up and I felt really messed up. It was a vicks vapir stick and apparently it was doing its job to help him with other matters at hand. Having never seeing this before I was really freaked out by this. "What the hell did you just spray in my eyes?!" "It's cool man." "No it isn't cool, I don't know you I don't know what that crap is for sure, and I don't feel normal right now! I'm about to punch you in the face." It was at this point that the feeling faded away and his only response was "Yeah thats right. Im sick of all these posers, I came here to dance! If people don't get down during Lazer I may just freak out!" I then walked away from him.

Last year, I decided to try my hand at collecting all the plastic bottles and cans around Centeroo to trade in for points. I figured, why not? There is garbage everywhere, I could probably get a hat or a tshirt for an hour of picking up trash. Well I'm in some field picking stuff up and this 100% naked guy who is tripping balls starts helping me out and putting bottles in my garbage bag. It was a little awkward at first but he was helping and I didn't want to ruin his time. Also it was hilarious. Well my friends and I eventually get to the stage where Radiohead will be playing later that day and we end up staying there all day to get better seats. Now this giant garbage bag that I decided to name Hank is taking up a lot of room, the the crowd is getting denser and denser, and everyone keeps getting closer and closer to the stage because Radiohead is about to start. I eventually lose track of Hank due to the crowd surge, and with a tear in my eye, hope to see him again after the show by some miracle.
Well that didn't happen. About 30 minutes into the show, I look over to find Hank being crowdsurfed around the field until I lost sight of him in sea of people.
RIP Hank

My first Roo in '05, I drove by myself cuz I was taking classes in a different part of the state than all my friends that went...

So I had no Idea what to expect when I arrived, I climbed on top of my truck to get cell service for a sec, got a hold of my friends, they said "dude, we're under the orange balloon..."

So I looked up and was also under an orange balloon (didnt notice the numbers on them) So i figure we're super close. (Of course we werent, we were about as far apart as possible)

So I give up looking, walk towards centeroo, first thing I see, is a dirty hippie in only whittie-tighties (now brown) straight flopping around HARD (like a fish in a boat) in this huge mud puddle.

Iv seen crazier shit since then...but this was the moment in my Bonnaroo virginity that I realized just what I was in for.

Also saw a dude at sunrise, sitting on a trash-bag lined box in the bed of his truck, taking a shit. When he got done, he just tied the bag up like you would garbage bag in your house, and he just threw it as far as he could into the sea of tents. Not cool, but I laughed my ass off.

I'd like to see some crazy shit like this...

2004 Front row patti smith, this lady abviously very drunk tells me and my buddies how she wasn't supposed to be there and that she got her ticket the day before the kep calling patti a bi ch yeah you effin bi ch in between songs. Any one who saw patti smith that year will remember that lady!  

2002, I think we were in L Skywalker, possibly H Solo. We were camped about 75ft from the portos. Friday night we were all partying and having a good time at the camp site and my friend and I ducked out to go pee.



As soon as we walk away from our site this young wook-ish girl from a neighboring campsite walks up to my friend (who is female) and I and asks me "Will you try this on?"



It was getting dark friday evening but there was still some light left. I looked down into her outstretched hand and it was a condom with the corner of the package torn off. As I keep scanning, I can see she is not wearing anything below her shirt.



Needless to say I was a little shocked (still am) as was my female cohort. I started laughing and then I looked at her face and she had this kind of serious look, which promptly put and end to my chuckle. I looked over her shoulder and there is this young wook-in-training kid with a pretty serious look of concern on his face as well. I wasn't sure what to do so I said, "No thanks! Maybe next time!" and continued onto the portos.



It would have made a pretty funny joke and I honestly thought it was until I saw the deep look of concern on that dudes face that not even Daniel Day Lewis could fake. We joked about it afterward but more in a, 'wasn't that really messed up?' kind of way. We saw them throughout the rest of the night in various states of intoxication but no more proposals unfortunately.



Saturday night after the second WSP show (at the back of the what field when they had all those portos up against the wall on the left) there was a large amount of liquid coming from said portos (remember, they didn't really clean them that year and they were constantly overflowing) into the dirt creating a mud pit outside. There was this young girl just rolling in it with about 30 people around watching her. She was rubbing it all over her face and in her mouth. She was rubbing on her crotch and putting it under her clothes (most of them were ditched in the mud so it was just bra and panties) and no one wanted to go in to help her out. She was so covered with filth that it was hard to distinguish her features, but her voice sounded familiar. We had fun trying to piece together whatever weekend that girl may or may not have had but it would be hard to argue that anyone partied harder than her that weekend - so she probably achieved her goal.<-(silver lining)

In 2011 we were leaving our tent to go watch STS9 play the sun up. As we were leaving our tent, Some fella named Ross comes up and wants to roll with us. We didn't know him, but his GF was passed out and its Bonnaroo so we all headed in together. He was super super wasted(not on alcohol)...we all stopped at the porta potties inside Centeroo and left out of the side entrance where the real shiz creek was located(the one u loose ur paddle at). I walked to a thin area and jumped across...Our new friend Ross didn't realize that I had found a thin spot and when he just ran up and jumped he FAILED miserably. But that wasn't the best part...When he jumps up, covered in whatever that was, he grabs this towel that someone had laid over the creek to walk across and wraps it around himself. Then thanks me for letting him have my towel HAHA. I never told him it wasn't mine...but to top it off when we made it to STS9 he runs into the crowd and just starts going nuts getting that crap all over everyone. We checked out on him at that point..he just smelled to bad.

Sorry that was so long, I just had to do it justice.

STS9 brought me another great memory, I'll put it in my next post.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????

I guess nothing crazy happend this year (other than the cart incident)

I thought it was crazy this year to see a girl run full speed through tent only to punch some guy in the face and then chase down his buddy who tried to run away and pull him down with a horse collar tackle.

I hear he goes every year in RLARS.
