I want to thank the sweet, sweet woman in the fabulous hat who let me relax in her lounge chair under the mist tent before and during Galactic on Sunday. You guys headed off to Bruce Hornsby and I had a needed rest before Galactic; I was totally refreshed for Iron & Wine. I left before you guys got back and never saw you again that night but I totally appreciate your kindness! ;D

Some young lady found me 20 mins after a show to give me my bandana that fell off my head and for the medical tent for helping my buddy recover from the heat sunday.

I appreciated everyone who would spray us with their squirt bottles/fans when we walked by. Next year I'm taking one to help out those baking on the walks to Centeroo!
A girl grabbed my butt. That was pretty cool. Thank you whoever you were. But on a serious note, thanks to all those kind souls looking out for others, whether medical staff or someone spraying people with water. I always carry a backpack with about a dozen bottled waters in case anyone looks like they need it. It's not always ice cold but it does the trick.
They are probably not inforoo-ers but everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong for me during eminem. My phone died as eminem was starting so I took mental note of where my friends were and headed over to the fuse barn. It was closed. Headed back and spend 40 minutes trying to find my friends to no avail. My biggest mistake was leaving my backpack (first and only time that thing left my side) which had my car keys in it. So I had a dead phone, no friends, no money, no car keys...nothing. I needed my phone originally to get in touch with a group of friends camped 30 minutes from us. So I watched a few eminem songs and walked down to Pod 1. They had left since I had last been in touch with them. At this point it'd been two hours since I lost my friends. I was on the verge of tears.
FIRST group of people I asked camping in Pod 1 had a blackberry charger. Nicest group of people I met there. I spent a good hour or so hanging with them while my phone cooled off (too hot to charge) and then while it finally charged.
I missed all of eminem. Whatever.
Visited them the next day and they handed me beer and a big bowl of homemade chickpea salad. It rejuvenated me and the beer gave me an excellent buzz. Hung out with them another hour.
Whoeever they were, they saved me. Thank you for the good company and kindness.

i often sprayed passer-bys and always appreciated it when people did it to me.
despite taking (almost) every precaution possible, i passed out in a crowd friday afternoon. i do not have enough fingers on my hands to count all of the exceptionally kind people who came up to me to offer water, cold towels, a pat on the head, a hug. it was a shitty experience turned better because of their generosity and love. thank you!!
I'd like to send thanks again to the man who handed me my phone I dropped on the side of the road in the line to get into Roo. I was changing cars to see a friend, and I didn't realize I had dropped my phone. He ran up to hand it to me. It was very kind of him.

I had an "oh shit" moment sitting at the campsite when i realized Man Man was on in like 15 minutes. I tied a bandana around my face, grabbed a full gallon of water and hauled ass. I made it to their set before it started but as soon as I got there I realized I didn't have a single thing that I normally bring into centeroo.
Anyway, about two songs in I think to myself, "Damn I really wish I had my corn" when literally AT THAT VERY MOMENT some dude taps me on the arm and hands my his. It wasn't even like he read my mind, it was like he predicted that I would think that and was ready to assist in a split second.
Needless to say, I offered him some water. He politely declined but the share fest continued for some time. And his corn was much tastier than mine.

Thanks to the guy who gave my husband a nice cold beer while we were waiting on Robert Plant. Gave us one and kept on walking. Nice. And to the guy who shared something good with me while wating on Mumford & Sons to start.
Thanks to everybody at the More than music tent in the campgrounds. I appreciate the free goodies, refill of my camelback, and the sweet ol' southern lady who had the nicest hospitality. Also thanks to Paco who told me the valuable lesson of never marrying a bar wench/scag. Also thanks to the guy that split a jay with me at Mumford and Sons.
And I will thank myself for helping someone carry 5 jugs of water back to her camp. They rewarded me with a free gallon of ice cold water. Kindness always pays.
Thanks to the guys who came up to us while we were watching MMJ, waiting in the pit for AF, that said, "Is it cool if we squeeze behind you? It looks like you're really enjoying the show." That was fucking awesome. There was just a fence or some barricade behind us and after that NOBODY could cut by us in line.
Thanks to our neighbors who helped us find/supplied 'groceries' for us!
Thanks to all the friendly locals we met from getting our rental car, to walmart, to the Bonnaroo staff.
And you're all welcome for the sprays from our Mister, Mister. Those big things are definitely worth carrying around.
Thank you to the unsung hero that literally BOLTED out of the filtered water station line to sprint to find the nearest medical volunteer and golf cart for the young lady that passed out literally right in front of me, while my friend and I cleared a large circle around the crowd so she had some room to breathe.

Thanks to the guys who left Girl Talk to carry out the guy who was seizing on the ground. They were really close and nearly dead center, and left their spot to muscle this guy out of the crowd and to the medical tent. They probably missed a lot of the show, but they could have been the reason he lived.

That is an awful nice gesture however I don't think you are suppose to move someone who is seizing just make an area around them where they can't hurt themselves. On second though other ppl may have hurt him had they left him in the crowd. Either way, a willingness to help and personal sacrifice are to be admired.

One guy carried him fireman style while the other made way and they headed for the medical tent. I should have specified he had stopped seizing at that point and wasn't responding to anyone.

Thanks to all of the people on Inforoo, if I have any questions or need any info I just come here. I don't think I have ever met anyone from here but a lot of you have helped me out for the last 5 seasons. THANK YOU....and Insider this means you too : )
Thanks to the old guy walking around with a tank of water and misting people. I saw this guys at like 5 different shows. He always had a huge giddy grin on his face and sprayed everybody nearby whether they asked for it or not. He was the best

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.
