so as well as a bee-less roo this is going to be a poopless roo
im not saying i hate the lineup, though i really hate the fact that superfly would book metallica for the same reason as klle bee relay team. i listen to most bands on the lineup and would kill to see sigur ros live. but anyway
last year the vibe was there, but wanning. certain "party favors" were near impossible to fnd, and fake "party favors" were prolific. i sense this year will be worse on that front
last year i heard not a single cry of "BONNNNAROOOOO". WTF!
though we all know not to go for the headliners, last year there were tons of people just there for the police and a few who were there mainly for tool. and you know what, they did step all over the vibe
the vip section last year was huge and took over the camping only section, which was made a lot smaller because.
i dont know. all i know is this year im out
i hope you all have the best time of your lives this year
*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.**
I know what you mean - last year our neighbors were there just for the Flaming Lips and it really stepped all over our vibe. I mean, when we were all excited for John Butler and the White Stripes and Xavier Rudd and they just sat at camp and drank.

I even heard a three year old yell "Bonawooooo!" with his mom... When he got a "rooooo!" response from a couple people, he looked up at her and said "...I got two..."
All these feelings about violence makes me think about the goings-on in my town. Supposedly kids from the high school are having rap battles where they one-up each other with slams in a rap/poetry style. I know, been happening for years and I think it's a great form of expression and a great alternative to actual violence.
Anyway the community is up in arms - some guy found clips of these slams on YouTube and thinks that all of the teens are going to he77 in a handbasket. The rest of the town is now up in arms thinking that if these kids are rapping about guns and druqs and fighting, well then they MUST be using guns and druqs.
Let me add that this is a school you have to take a test to get into, one of the top high schools in the country.
Saying that because Metallica and Kanye are there will mean there is major violence is like saying that Tool and Clutch brought major violence.... and really, last year may have been different from earlier Bonnaroos, but it wasn't any more violent.

We had a little girl in a camp some 20-30 feet away that would do the same thing. Only on Sunday she had some crazy face paint on and was scaring the hell outta me and my friends in our state of mind.

You better be down there in The Other Tent with me - I am not going this year but I am not about to give up Inforoo either!
I've actually never had to poop at the 'roo. True story. I don't hold it in or anything. It's like my body knows it doesn't want anything to do with touching the portajohns and tells my insides not to let anything out for a while. I definitely don't mind.

^Very true c234567892, but man the next week after bonnaroo is one brutal week. That bonnaflu last year was god awful for every part of the my body, but I do not regret it one bit (I would much rather have the bonnaflu instead of the actual flu right now, at least I know I partied for a week prior to getting sick).
"That's the big thing about education. People can be book smart, but not really intelligent about anything else. A lot of times they just taking in all this information and regurgitate it. It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."

I know what you mean, I think it also might be because I don't really eat that much while I'm there, just little bits here and there, never a real meal.
i yelled em a few times in line to centeroo, and got no response, ever. maybe one girl or something, but a lot of weird looks
that seemed to happen when i yelled it... ...i really wanna go but i know what the deal is gonna be (its gonna be the "new roo", bad vibes, etc) and i am 99 percent sure it will be that way but i wanna go...this is making it tough..
HAHAHAHA. So awesome that this went from a warning about potential violence to a discussion of bowel movements (or the lack thereof) in less than 20 posts.

i didn't poop 'til sunday in '05. i just couldn't go. then in '06 we ate some taco bell on the way down and that wasn't too fun the first day. oh, and last year i bought my own little portable toilet and i can just go in my tent and it's so much easier and sanitary. i won't use a portajohn again to take a crap.

I went into a porta pottie last year at night and i stumbled a bit and some nasty liquid splashed all over my feet. not sure what it was but as soon as i got back to my tent, i splashed like two water bottles on my feet. Also, i heard a lot of Bonnaroo yelling and numerous offers for party favors as well
My guy friend in my posse last year had some... digestive issues. Not a fun pooparoo for him for a day and a half
in the bottom of your camel back, a small zipper pouch first aid kit with: camping pack toilet paper (walmart) aloe gel for sunburn gold bond powder immodium D Zantec 150 rolaids asprin antihistamines neosporine band-aids blister care (liquid) small LED flashlight.

Alright. So this is a clip of demitri martin at the comedy tent from last year's roo. At about 1:30 into the clip he begins speaking of the funniest thing he's heard his whole time there.
I didn't see him, but when I got home and saw the clip, I swear to this day he was talking about me and my buddy. Reading this thread reminds me how you're never alone at Bonnaroo !
Even those of us who have done it "poopless".
Sound quality is echoey, but well worth it...right after he talks about the Flaming Lips.... ;D
