I'm sitting here thinking about the roosky, and i remembered how there were claims of the possibility of having some paved avenues at Bonnaroo, and having some bathrooms with plumbing and running water.
I think the roads would be pretty sweet mostly for the cut down of dust.
I wouldn't have any problems with the running water, or a flushable john. In one particular state of mind that i somehow slipped into, i was able to see airborne Bonnafloo particles inside one of the funky portathrones
I also think that these first steps towards making the roo more adaptable could be a sign that Bonnaroo intends to accommodate more people.
Do you all remember hearing about such additions?
What are your all's thoughts on the evolving Bonnaroo agenda?
I agree. Some paved areas would be ok (for the dust), but pavement gets HOT in the sun. Plus then there is run-off issues, and I really love how Roo is so environmentally aware.
And plumbing. It would be sweet, as long as it was kept up, which would be a pretty major feat at Roo. I would rather deal with the smelly, dirty porta-poos than overflowing, flooded, still stinky and dirty real bathrooms... It would be nice to have non-sulfur drinking water, though.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
Some roads getting in and out would be fab. I don't know about anywhere else though. I think with the state of mind many share when at Roo, a lot of hard surfaces would be BAD.
I wouldn't want asphalt anywhere. Not only does the road get hot, the surrounding area gets hotter too. If they pave anything they should use the recycled stuff they get from tires. That way they could have COLORS and it would be slightly sproingy.
I'd like to see SOME paved areas to cut down on the dust, but not in centeroo...
and I think permanent bathrooms would constantly have plumbing issues.
I'd love to see permanent stages though for what and which
Using porta johns is an operating expense. That is a tax deduction. installing real plumbing will require a septic system, (more money) and to accom, 80-90 thousand people it would have to have a very large leechfield,(less camping spots) i think they did a good job at keeping the porta potties decent .. ,,, The perm stages will be a thing superfly already said that was coming ..
I just think permabathrooms would quickly get overwhelmed.. and when a porta goes "bad" you just dont go in, one toilet going bad would make the entire bathroom nasty

thats a good idea, or they could use the wood chip stuff they put on playgrounds, that doesnt get very hot at all.
i say more h2o stations and more steaming hot death boxes (portapoops). both would equal less lines. more SHDB's would mean less overflowing of human nasty too! "it's because of what they eat kyle, all that tofu and couscous!" - mr. hanky
After you get past the booths the traffic was a free for all 8 or moor lanes merging into 1 road. Have someone there. I had to do the LA strole to get in and it Peed off a few people.
I'd like to see screens added to more stages (or at least Which Stage).
I wonder if they could rig some sort of permanent port o potties? A concrete structure with stadium-style urinal troughs and plumbing-free seats that dump into an area similar to a port-o-pottylike area that can be cleaned out like our traditional units. Rig the whole room to be power-flushed a few times a day (something similar to fire-prevention sprinklers) and it can stay cleanish.
That said, I have really been impressed with the company they have been using the last few years. I think that they've been in great shape, all things considered.
How about firehoses mounted to the larger, shade-free stages to provide some relief?
I'm also pretty anti-paved roads at festivals after my tarmac experience at Woodstock 99. Maybe just some eco-friendly used-tire gravel to keep the dust down?
