Great thread!
Ego Deaths, great music, 100,000 great people for the most part. Just pulling up makes my eyes water every year knowing whats about to go down on the inside. I know it sounds irrational but I don't want to miss one, ever again.
The worst part is people not being there you want to be, and when someone gets carted off. My heart feels like its dropping out every time... God I hope that never happens to anyone I know.

ive only been to three but i will give some highlights of them
04: 1st festival for the 4 of us that went, and we were wayyyy underprepared (black tent and no cover from the sun anyone??). luckily our neighbors let us hang out with them. I got to see the Danger Mouse DJ set (this was soon after he released the grey album, but he didnt play any of it and still rocked that night, and i could swear he was on something),which not alot of people can say they did, since he does so much producing/collaboration now. After meeting up with some friends at the Dead, i left cause i wasnt a huge fan and things werent working like they should of. Then i got back to the car (the tent was wet from wet clothes) and things did start working and i could hear shine on you crazy diamond being played(our spot was really close to the entrance)......and im pretty sure i just melted into that back car seat with the door wide open
05: went with some friends who went the year before(but seperate). got stuck in bonnaroo II......which didnt turn out that bad, the walk was boring though. got to see the word(probably the 2nd surprise band of that weekend). and "suffered" through the rain during black crowes enjoyed myself wayyy to much at de la soul ( i loved their crowd interaction) they split the crowd down the middle and it was like a 10 min battle to see who could get the rowdiest. and the biggest surprise band from that weekend was mouse on mars...i could not walk away for the life of me (their albums are way different than that live set). oh and i cant forget about the great food that my buddy brought with him and the neighbors offered.
08: ended up in a large group of people and we got a spot about 2 cars down from where the vending ended on shakedown st....primo spot. went with a completely different crowd and ended up seeing wayyyyy too much punk and metal. Chris Rock openenig for metallica and metallica not playing a single song from st anger with most of their songs coming from pre-black album. i was also pretty into it and was yelling at random people things that should never be yelled or even thought of (for that i apologize). the superjam of gogol bordello/claypool/kirk hammet doing nothing but tom waits covers rocked my late night....then i was pretty much done from all the headbanging earlier and i had to leave pearl jam, but i got to wake up to the sunrise and the sweet sweet sounds of kanye's golddigger...... :/ I alsogot to see widespread for the first time and i fell in love to them while dancing and staring at the dancing girl on the trash can......and my friend was passed out on the grass next to me. we then decided the weekend wasnt over and i ended up cooking like 20 hot dogs somewhere around the morning of monday trying to give them out to people as they walked down shakedown, and were running through a field trying to catch up with some party favors somewhere around the back of the campground....all i know was that the grass was a little too tall and it looked like gazelle running through a field.

I PMed him also right after he posted this. He was online for what looked like about 30 minutes after the post. I've not heard anything. I hope everything is okay. Is it possible for Mods to trace the IP address and alert someone?
me too. this guy has been more rude than usual lately, I don't know if anyone saw his thread fiasco where he lost his marbles and asked for it to be locked.
I struggle with major depression and I know that when I start becoming rude/withdrawn/bitter it's always an indication to me to pay close attention and take care of myself, it's usually a red flag that an episode is about to come on.
it's a really debilitating disease and I don't want to take the chance that this guy is just trolling/messing with us or that we are reading his post wrong
there are some people who like messing with others like this but it doesn't mean we should ignore even a single wolf-cry. mods please help find this guy
2011 was my first 'Roo, and there are so many moments. The first show moment I had was after I made my way through that MMJ crowd to somehow find my friends in the midst of it all. I found them and enjoyed the music, having never seen MMJ before, and as the show went on I fell more in love with the band. The crescendo of an ending was just the perfect song for me, One Big Holiday rocked my world. After I was done dancing my ass off I couldn't believe the show was over, and I look up to see these magical blue lights falling from the sky, and that's when I knew Bonnaroo was truly gonna hold a spot in my heart.
Also, the whole Mumford and Sons set was amazing, but when those clouds started to roll over and give me us all a little bit of a break from the sun I rejoiced. I then commenced to dance with what seemed to be millions of others to The Cave, and watching that sunset was the perfect ending.
I have to say, the first perfect moment in time was Wednesday night after setting up our tents. We could hear the whole farms screams of "BONNAROOOO" coming from one side of the farm, rolling across the land, and when it got to us, I couldn't help but scream it along with everyone else. Magical.
OMG seriously This sucks, I truly hope this dose work out for the best, I don't really believe in religion but I try and believe in every person no matter how they are, I find If I put my faith in people I have better success. I hope the best for our comrade. Would be very sad to lose another
And not to just add a offensive post (i could see how some may dislike my beliefs) and not share my fondest/terrifying memory of roo. So here is my first roo experience.
As soon as we hit traffic and we stopped. I looked to my left and saw this huge expanse of bonnaroo all lit up and glowing and went OMG what did I get into. Then people started peeing on the side of the road, hanging out of their windows, sitting on top of their cars... And just watched everything while the panic subsided( suffer great anxiety/panic attacks) And the police just drove by and never said anything to the people running around or doing stupid poop. Was amazing first memory of Roo. And I have so many to share but I thought my first would be the best.
Wow.. I feel like a d*ck for posting yesterday without checking the top of this page.. I hope this guy is okay. It's so sad when someone has to battle against so much that it seems like there's nothing left. Praying for the best for you, man!

Really weird. Can't find any current news on him but when the google search came up there was a quote from his facebook which has now disappeared. It was something to the effect that "When I die I give my permission to my friends to change my status to dead". It was just there a couple minutes ago but now the google search comes up with something else. Luckily none of the local news outlets have anything on him this weekend. Fingers crossed
