Bonnaroo is being reunited with my tribe. I'm older than the average rooer and my friends don't understand why I still "go to shows". But when my feet hit the farm I'm with people with the same passion I have and they're all wonderful!

Bonnaroo is seeing people in their true beautiful nature. The pure bliss you see on everyone's face, the fact that (at least most) people don't hide who they really are when they're there. It's this whirlwind of emotions you only get for 4 days a year. A beautiful place with beautiful people (inside and out). What more could you ask for? Every bonnaroo marks my boyfriend and I's anniversary. It's something that will always mean many different things, especially to different people, but i know it as 4 days of the best loving, welcoming, compassionate feelings you've ever gotten from anyone, anywhere.
To me, Bonnaroo is where I am 100% comfortable with myself. Bonnaroo will always hold a special place in my heart, because during my first one it changed me to be a better person every other day of the year. I finally love who I am, and it's all because of Roo. It's also an intense bonding moment for my close group of friends, that we wouldn't be able to share elsewhere.
I can't wait to share this year's Roo with my new Inforoo family!
Bonnaroo is a mind and heart opening experience. I first set my feet on the farm in '06 on the suggestion of my best friend and have gone every year since and could never see myself not going. Bonnaroo allows me the opportunity to listen to music I would normally never listen to (opening my mind), observe the kindness that still exists in folks in an otherwise rough world (opening my heart), and just be (relaxing the mind, body and spirit). Bonnaroo is the four day reward for working like a dog and putting up with $hit the other 361 days a year.

Bonnaroo changed my life. I just drove to ATL from Nashville yesterday and while passing through Manchester there was a small clearing on the interstate where I could see the tower and it just made me happy. I was born there in 2010. Everything leading up to that weekend was just a preface to my life.
I won't get into it too much, but I was a very sheltered child in an extremely religious household. Bonnaroo was my realization that there are other people out there like me...lots of them...just enjoying each other with no judgment at all. It was surreal. It was beautiful. It was home. Oh...and I think there was music there or something.
I will never forget that weekend and its impact on my life.

Right there with ya katbur. I work around a bunch of stuffy prople that only like one kind of music or another and aren't willing to branch out. They can't understand why I've been to Roo 4 times and going on 5, just to hang out with a bunch of hippies half my age. Bonnaroo gives me a chance to explore every music genre and oh yeah: Let my freak flag fly high!
For the 7th year now, Bonnaroo continues to be my annual vacation. The music, love and people that it has exposed me to is untouched by most other experiences that I have on the year to year. Simply, I love that fucking place!

I went last year during a particularly anxious period in my life, and it helped so much. I was looking for anything to draw my attention with what was going on, so when my friend mentioned Bonnaroo, which I was very aware of but for some reason never thought of going, I jumped at it.
It may have been the best decision I've ever made. I still deal with anxiety, but just thinking about Bonnaroo helps. I'll never stop going.
Like others have said, I hope to make it my annual vacation.
It's a year long unhealthy obsession I'm glad I have. It's something that makes time stand still for 4 days that go way too fast. It's a series of moments in time that I will never forget. It's a place where the roles that I play on a daily basis melt away and my identy comes forward. It's a place where my ego doesn't matter and my self esteem is at its peak. It's a place where the power of love overcomes the love of power (credit Jimi).
It's where I left my past behind in 2011 and stepped side by side into my future in 2012.
It's a place that I look back at and realize it changed my life, but when it's happening it doesn't occour to me.
Bonnaroo is a musical and soul touching utopia that will forever live inside me as it does everyone I see, hear and touch while I'm there.
2010 was my first year going to Roo and I went with people that I had never met and have since become best friends. 2011 we went back again and had amazing neighbors from all over the world that we still stay in contact with and some of the more lucky friends have even flown to Europe to visit them. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining the feeling I get when I am at Bonnaroo. Its this overwhelming sense of happiness/security. I still can't describe it.
My name was announced as the winner of the 2012 QSAROO scholarship. I remember getting off the phone with Scrog being in a state of shock. I actually have tears in my eyes as I type this, thinking back on that day. Here I was, someone who had maybe 40 posts, who had been a lurker for over a year, who didn't know anyone on this board. I truly think back on that day & what has happened since as one of the best, and I do mean best, things to ever happen to me. Not just allowing my husband & I to come to Bonnaroo & have the time of our life. It's what has happened since then as well. Music Midtown, Moogfest, secret santa, NCAA Big Dance, helping out members in need, being in chat when Clemson beat LSU NYE, panda hoods, RooTus, and soooo many more reasons. It's the friendships I've made & continue to make. The fun times I've had & will keep on having. To whoever gets announced soon, I sincerely hope it does for you what it has done for me. Candles lighting candles y'all. Much love to you all.
My wife and I fall in love with each other again whenever we return to Bonnaroo. We live in a very conservative state/county surrounded by uptight people killing themselves slowly with work and stress. For 4 days we leave that world and embrace our true free spirits. The community at Bonnaroo restores my optimism in the world with every visit.
We had no idea what to expect our first time in 2006. It exceeded our wildest expectations.
