Hey all,
this is the first thread I've started, so please feel free to bitch at me if there is already something like this. Thought it might be fun/useful to collect some of the reasons for an on the fence friend, or even a reader here to decide if the 'Roo is right for them.
I'll start...
If you like being exposed to new bands and seeing your favorite bands If you appreciate all kinds of food, craft beers from all over, and amazing custom-made clothing, jewelery, tapestries, glasswork, etc. If you like staying in the outdoors and experiencing the best and worst of the elements, with the comforts of fried food, "restrooms", and some running water not too far away If you like to experience new cultures and new things If you are interested in learning about ways to help become more green If you like old school arcade games If you like to dance!(whether it be raving, nodding your head, breakdancing, or anything else!) If you like to jam If you like to make new friends, learn about your current friends, and make connections that can last a life time If you want to have new experiences with great people If you enjoy seeing stand-up comedy If you don't mind getting dirty If you like to splash around in a fountain or make some art If you like free samples! If you like seeing new and old films and hearing filmmakers speak then Bonnaroo is probably for you!
If you can't handle extreme heat, sometimes bitter cold, dust, mud, rain, and other elements If you feel claustrophobic at times If you have a hard time trusting strangers and large groups If you are closed-minded If you like to always be clean! If you hate the outdoors
If you can't handle extreme heat, sometimes bitter cold, dust, mud, rain, and other elements If you feel claustrophobic at times If you have a hard time trusting strangers and large groups If you are closed-minded If you like to always be clean! If you hate the outdoors
Then perhaps you should think twice!
Normally, I'm very finnicky about temperature, cleanliness, and I'm generally girly and whiny. I am fairly open minded but I'm not the type that makes friends with strangers easily. I never camp, and I get claustrophobic. Yes, Bonnaroo last year was rough at times, but I don't regret going and I'm going back. I think if you love the music enough, and you're willing to push yourself to step outside of what you are used to, its an adjustment that a lot of people can make. Don't scare people that like showers and air conditioning away
referring to Buscrash, who literally wrote the book on Bonnaroo:
If you are the type that would enjoy being in a position to confuse a big, long haired guitarist with a skinny black rapper, then Bonnaroo just might be for you!

Exactly, you stepped outside your comfort zone because you are open-minded. However someone who truly believes they can't handle extreme heat, for example (or actually can't for medical reasons or whatever else it may be) and isn't open to new experiences would likely have a hard time enjoying bonnaroo.
BUT! If you are remotely open to the idea of trying new things, you really might find a new experience you like quite a bit. The open-mindedness is really a requirement above all others

That Buscrash...he's witty...and mysteriously not around lately...
