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.

What up 'Roo peeps? Recently decided to do Bonnaroo after deciding that I was sick of my friend being a "one-upper" (whether his stories are false or true is another ordeal..lol), so when he told me that he was doing Coachella this year I was like, "Yeah, I thought about that, but for my first music festival, I gotta do it right - so I am going to Bonnaroo" - much like my first real Mardi Gras was in New Orleans, since nothing has compared, and I feel the same will be true for Bonnaroo. A man of my word, I am doing it, and probably sponsoring 3 other friends to make the trek for the ultimate experience. Once I decided I was going is when I discovered this forum. So without further adieu...
