2010 *Missing the Black Keys.. but I was the Flaming Lips so cant really complain. I just really want to see the Black Keys at a small venue. 2011 just wasnt the same on the the main stage. *Missed GWAR because I was too tied up with how the ferris wheel looked at my current state of mind lol *also.. Thursday was my 21st birthday.. It's been the only day I've drank at Roo since. Just too hot lol.. But I missed alot of the Thursday acts and woke up to two huge spiders crawlin in my bag of clothes. *Seeing Weezer. I left halfway for Jeck Beck. *Not getting there for the start of Stevie Wonder.. I saw the second half and it was incredible.
2011 *I really wanted to see the Dark Side of the Rainbow.. but by the time Gambino ended it was too long of a line.. Other than I liked my Thursday. *MY BIGGEST REGRET EVER was falling asleep to Arcade Fire. I was in the Pit for MMJ and it was soo much fun, so when Arcade fire started.. it was a little slow, so i sat down and I was like "Oh, I'll just get up in like 5 minutes" lol.. next thing I know I wake up and they're saying Thank you Bonnaroo. FML lol *Sittin around waiting for Shpongle. So lame. I left and went to Pretty Lights til 5 am. So awesome. *Going to Eminem over Buffalo Springfield. *Missing Gogol Bordello.. I was so tired at this Roo. in 2010 I slept like 10 hours the whole weekend and that was mainly the first night. This year I was passin out in Centeroo 2 nights. Loadin up on 5 hour energies this yearrr. *Missing EITS for the Strokes and the Superjam. The Strokes were practically telling everyone to leave and go to Beriut. My gf likes them, so thats why we went.. But even she wanted to leave. They just have no passion while playing. *Also regretted the scheduling overlaps. I wanted to see Florence, Man Man, and Portugal the Man. But the all overlapped I chose Man Man, and it was my favorite show of 2011.
But a big non regret I had was doing Clean Vibes and going for $30. Such an amazing program. Check it out!
I saw part of both GWAR was excellent, TFL, were terrible, just left and got a good spot for LCD.
I saw the last bit of their regular set and the first few of Dark Side.... just horrible. The little I heard from Embryonic sounded great, and that's really the only reason I stuck around for any amount of time. I then could hear the rest of Dark Side from my tent. So bad.
Of that year, missing Gwar and LCD were my two biggest regrets, for sure.
my only regret would be passing out during springsteen and never waking up for mgmt... god damn that still quacking pisses me off. after that i have never taken a nap at bonnaroo unless i was with someone who i knew would wake my ass up. please come back mgmt, give me another chance!

2016 Regrets & What Did I Learn
I think I Bonnaroo'd pretty damn well this year, but there are always regrets.
-Leaving Pearl Jam during the encore break to go to the Superjam. I think I was doing the best I could with the information I had at the time so I didn't beat myself up too bad over it. But moving forward I will no longer assume the Superjam is a must see act.
-Leaving after an hour of Lane 8's set. My body was too beat up, had to bail after the first hour. Would love to have caught the whole set. Not sure what there is too learn here, except maybe do more strength training and cardio during the year.
-Only catching the last song of Dungen. Loved what I heard, just screwed up and missed the shuttle that would have gotten me there in time. I learned to spend less time in the morning watching HG TV and more time getting my shit together.

- Not studying hard enough for Lizzo - Missing Dungen - Screwing around too long before getting to Lane 8 after Tame - Waiting in pit line for PJ in beating sun only to be rejected
Only getting 1 Amish Donut, bad job by me this year
That does suck. I got the deal right before they evacuated centeroo. I am so glad I did that, it made the walk to camp so much better. I only let Jeremy have one.

That was a great idea. I was right over there too when the evacuation happened, but my camp was so close to Centeroo this year I went back to drink some beers. Just wasn't thinking.

I've had those years. I had 3 total this year, one on Thurs, Friday, and Saturday.
Food wise I almost strictly ate Thurman Mermans at Roti Rolls, though I did try the Foghorn from Roti Rolls and also had one Praters BBQ sandwich. Between that and the Amish Doughnuts I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate.

I didn't really eat in Centeroo this year other than my donuts, a King of Pop popsicle, curly fries and a gyro (from the the one that has the crab cakes on the left going towards the What field, so good). If I ate anything else, I really don't remember. I would eat a large breakfast and some sandwiches at camp, plus we had fruits and snacks. Jeremy on the other hand ate the David Bowie Pie, a burger from somewhere and a Thurman Merman over the course of the weekend.

Actually listening to the weather advisory. I inadvertently traded rail for Claypool Lennon with yet another trek to and from Pod 10 and a spot outside the tent. Complete and utter bullshiz
Not knowing Swim Deep and only catching the last two songs. Also buying that terrible pretzel and attempting to go to Third Eye Blind. I really didn't know what to do with myself between Death Cab For Cutie and Dead & Company. I finally wandered to Swim Deep and as I realized this is where I wanted to be, they were finishing up.
Also I think I was too concerned with how my friends were feeling. I think I should have let go a little more and just focused on doing my thing, and let them do there's.

Our group made a bunch of plans (aka moves) together but Jeremy and I didn't do as much with them. I wish I would have done a bit more moves with them instead of just doing our thing. Although we did see everyone we wanted to see, we missed out on a campsite "mind opening meeting" on Friday due to doing our own plans, which is kinda depressing. I would have been all about participating in that.

- Planning my whole LN on Friday around Tame.
- Going to Superjam instead Big Grams. I know, I could have and probably should have left after not enjoying it. But I was struggling to stay awake after three or four songs and just decided to call it a night.
- Baking in the pit for Kurt Vile. He was great, but I should just kept my spot in the middle of the shade where the trees are in the back for his set and FJM.

My only real regret is going to tame instead of Bob Moses. I should have left early to see them but I lost track of time. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be able to see them some time soon enough.

St.Lucia was my biggest regret.
Not spending more time on the Roti Rolls truck. Heck, they had me on the menu I at least could have spent more time on their truck since they let me tour it and make my own.

-Dungen (too hot out) -Natalie Prass (too hot out) -M83 (in hindsight, I realize I could've easily caught 20-30 mins and still gotten the same spot in the LCD pit) -Charles Bradley (too hot) -Jason Isbell (too hot)
-Not holding my bladder and just going straight to Purity Ring post LCD; I missed a couple of my favorite PR songs during that detour
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I was pooping during Pearl Jam's fireworks. The rain delay really fucked up my internal clock, and I had no idea what was going on when, or when it was ending.

Wish I handled the heat better
You didn't miss much at St. Lucia. I was there. It was hot as shit. It sounded good but hard to get the crowd energy at that time of the day on the which stage
Got lazy in the mornings and missed Beth Stelling, Dungen, whilk, and Charles Bradley.
Skipped 2-door (and grandma sparrow) to get stuff at camp which then became very silly when they told everyone to evacuate right as we were heading back in.
Left pearl jam too early.
I thought I was going to regret skipping CHVRCHES to see Lucius yet again but I regret nothing there at all.
I wish I had been able to convince my group to go to lizzo over borns but they basically followed me the whole weekend and only really pushed for one band - fair trade
Barely any regrets from this year. I wish I had gotten to the Silent Disco early enough to do the Coloring Book listening party, but that's about it. I could have stood to see more than one show on Sunday (Dead & Co), but I was just in a wandering mood! It happens.

- Not sticking around at brunch longer. I was toasted though. My stay was extended thanks for @fuzzywarbles for offering up a water. That kept me on my feet for a little while longer. Thanks dude!
- Not making an extra effort to bump into Rummy 500 !

I meant going to see them. They were horrible IMO.

Yeah I stayed for one song of St. Lucia and turned the hell around. They didn't seem to be feeling it.
I wish I had skipped Tame Impala entirely and done Purity Ring -> Bob Moses -> Blood Orange (who I saw all of anyway). They were a let down after M83/LCD IMO. Something doesn't translate live for me, it's too staid and by-the-book. I know others enjoyed it - I think I could get the same enjoyment just listening to the record. It's funny that some people expected an extended, jammy set. And I happened to see M83/Tame at MPP last night - M83 blew them away again.
