1) Singing along next to Lordrockinghood to Alice Cooper's seamless mix of Schools Out For Summer and The Wall. 2) Stumbling out of my RV while just starting to come back from an "interesting mental exploration to the dark side via portabella mushroom" only to find a fairly large gathering including SFA, LLL, Jack, KDogg, LD, and a few others and it was all good from then on out. 3) Cornstorming it up at LUDAAAAAAAAAAAA

The weather for sure Singing my favorite Misfit songs during Danzig's set Getting on the rail in the pit for Rodrigo y Gabriela Passing out about 70 leis during the Beach Boys, people were so happy to get them And the beach balls during The Beach Boys, we all had so much fun with them.

My favorite Roo'12 moment: Just being able to attend Roo'12. To be able to see the wicked sights, meet some great people and listen to some awesome music... was priceless enough for me
In no particular order: Snagging pit for Radiohead (Teared up a bit, I'm a huge fanboy) Forming a circle of 15 or so with total strangers during Phish, sharing corn and watching my friend as he finally got to experience the camaraderie of 'Roo Laughing hysterically as my friend and I discovered Unchained was the real deal Flying Lotus Seeing D'Angelo perform in the Superjam Hearing my friends story of how he got pit for the Chili's (he's a first timer so I was proud he branched off and did what he wanted) The weather! Sunday was an absolute blessing and the rain was even welcomed Having a stranger lead me and my friend to some purple lighted tent on the campgrounds at 2 am Sunday, watching the performers and mingling with the others who didn't want 'Roo to end
All in all, there were just wayyy too many moments to count

-I GO HARD IN THE MUTHAFUCKIN PAINT - :)Matt Besser curating UCB clips in the cinema tent -The standup comedian whose name escapes me telling the joke about the bro pissing in the pit while keeping his eyes fixed on radiohead -talking boognish with those five super friendly strangers who saw my ween shirt -st Vincent, when annie leapt into the crowd -the energy level in the skrillex pit -the crowd under the arch when leaving phish in the mud and rain -meetings in the soberoo tent
- Thursday night seeing Mariachi El Bronx in a tent with maybe 200 people...including bear suit guy and an elderly couple dancing.
- The same show after the singer did a sexy hip move, a guitarist near me was so tickled he had to turn his face away from the crowd (toward me) to keep from losing it. His face was just great.
-Hanging out at camp with our amazing neighbors.
- At the end of Fun. after it had cleared out some I was trying to get up as close as possible to take a picture. I was against the rail for I think the press area. Not sure what it was but not regular pit and not vip. The girl working told me to back up and I did, then she said "Oh you have your vip bracelet on, come on" and winked and rushed me in. That was probably the most exciting moment of the weekend for me because I wasn't really supposed to be there and I wasn't trying to work my way in either. I asked if I could bring my sister in. I found a youtube video that shows my sister standing there bobbing her head and I come running out like a freak telling her to come on.

1. Meeting awesome people. No strangers at bonnaroo just friends you haven't met before.
2. Sprinting to Alice Cooper's set with my best friends as soon as we heard the school bells for "School's Out"......my friend ripping her shirt off (she had a bathing suit underneath....and also was about 10 beers deep) and twirling it around her head as she screamed the lyrics at the top of her lungs. I think I peed my pants a little
3. Following my friends to Das Racist when I saw a sign at the Stubhub tent for the Punch Brothers starting right then. Was only a 25 minute set or so but it was so much fun and something I won't forget
4. Young security guard catching me with a mini liquor in centeroo. I shrugged the "damn I'm caught shrug" and started closing it and giving it to him. he said he was going to search my backpack, where I had more liquor. Was prepared to give everything up & He said "Do you want me to take it or do you want to finish it?"....... Basically security just made me take shots super fast. He sat there and watched me down my liquor until I was finished then told me to have a good day
5. All of the music. Too much good music to go into. DO want to mention Gary Clark Jr.'s sonic stage set (good GOD)
6. Going along with that ^...all the shows I went to by myself and made awesome concert friends. Experiencing the shows with friendly strangers. (PEDRITO MARTINEZ LATE NIGHT!! was so empty and SO MUCH FUN)
7. I'll stop because I could go on. and on. and on. I love bonnaroo and all the people all bonnaroo!!
Singing about My Ding-A-Ling in front of many of you. ;D Making a 13 foot Jelly Fish and the many "Thank You!" that I received from that. Being able to help Chris, who was lost, cold, and going up and did not know how high or deep he was going. Being able to provide him shelter, a comfy place to relax and basically help him out of an almost bad trip and ease into a fantastic one, words can not describe that feeling. ;D (not sure what they have in the medical tents, but Bonnaroo needs a Sanctuary.)

The absolute best moment of my Bonnaroo 2012 was reuniting with my son, Max, after having been estranged for 10 years.
Long, weird a$$ story I'll not go into on here.
It's Saturday afternoon, It's been a longish few days doing my "work", I'm standing in the grassy area next to The Academy while my friend Julia belly dances, and this face pops up up inches in front of my face.
I'm startled, thinking what's this. We look at each other a few moments and he says, "Dad?" I say, "Max?" And we grab each other. We let out all those stacked up tears.
We knew each other were going to be there because of Facebooking, had cell numbers, but AT&T service was severely lacking.
Saturday afternoon, peak festival attendance and he finds me. Divine providence is what that was. No if's ands or buts about it. Think of the odds.
Suffice to say that at that point my "work" didn't so much matter anymore. Max did. He was a festival kid from birth so he chimed right in, my kid in every sense of the word.
So we hung out, went here and there, hugged, cried, laughed, caught up on our lives.
Parting Sunday night was bittersweet, I back to my home and he off to Phish. In good Daddy fashion I said, "You be safe and text me when you get home." Monday, he did.
That was my "favorite moment(s) of Roo12"
Not to mention A. Cooper in the Cinema Tent introducing The Marx Bros, Duck Soup, ah, and the music, $hit, everywhere was the music, all good, and the folks, smiling faces everywhere.
Me too. I smiled.
Thanks Inforoo, sorry I didn't make it to the brunch.

While I'm thinking about it I'll share a couple of more Roo12 favorite moments.
1. Seeing the smiles of the lucky duck rubber duck giveaways I gave out. I'd eyeball to eyeball and toss. Big smiles.
2. Having folks literally run alongside the festi-cab as I handed out my roo-bracelets I made as giveaways. Big swag smiles.
3. Being able to teach a couple of folks how I made the roo-bracelets with my tool, a lucet, at the Eden's Rose.org tent so they, in turn, could teach their folks a new craft to raise money for water.
The weather, our neighbors, our location (right next to the church tent with free water and fruit), The headliners all being awesome. I felt the whole site was alot more organized too and everything about 2012 was better than 11.

Getting to walk around Centeroo and the campground for the first time realizing how massive it is. Radiohead and Friday LN - downright best festival and music experience of my life Walking around by myself during Saturday and Sunday afternoon catching show after show and meeting new people throughout Superjam
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.
