^What Dave said, I didn't think it was a 100% in place thing. Also I've had a bit of discretion about things like that, since I'm not sure if they wanted us to talk publicly about their plans.

I pretty much considered anything told there to 10 online forum festival fanatics would be assumed shared.
But thats also why i didnt post the details and was hoping one of yall would :-P

Nah, I have tried to limit it to stuff that is already well-known (re: the trees they planted last year) or things that aren't interesting to anyone but us (California is the #9 state).
I cringe when I see people lounging up against trees/fences/sides of vending stands. UGH. So much pee.
When you are peeing on something that ISN'T meant to be peed on, please remember this! People will be leaning or sitting against that surface at some point in time and that surface will be covered with your pee! I am sure you don't want to sit in someone else's pee and neither do I!

For the record I only pee in the places god, and the festival planners, intended. My balance isn't good enough while inebriated to try free range peeing.

As an experienced urinator, I assure you, walls are meant to be peed on.

This is going to come off as very jerky, but to be completely honest with you, at the wee hours of the morning, when im drunk in Centeroo and desperately have to pee and see that the wait for the porto's is insane, the LAST thing on my mind is "Oh man, I wonder if someone will sit against the wall/tent in the coming days". It's more like "OMFG THIS URINE FLOWING OUT OF MY BLADDER FEELS SOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I heard some rumblings about a program last year that they were looking to implement that involved donations from attendees and the money would go towards a tree being planted on the grounds that was "yours" and nameable. Is this the program you all are referring to?

Yessir. But we are unsure if it is more than rumblings yet

Just remember, if you are leaning or sitting against a surface that was not made to sit on or lean against(aka, not a chair), just remember some drunk-ass might have pee'd on it.

Your signature has me busting the quack up laughing. So great.
EDIT: Also, my wife believes men should pee elsewhere and not add to the late night lines for the portas. She's weird.

Isn't it part of the Bonnaroo experience that for 4 glorious days you can pee anywhere and on anything you want, and no one really cares? For the other 361 days of the year society dictates your urination habits. Let us have those 4 short days of peeing on walls.
TREES. Please make trees happen. Shade is such a beautiful, precious thing at Bonnaroo.
And. I went to a brand-new festival in the state of Delaware last July called Firefly and I MUST rave about their showers. Who all has tried the showers at Bonnaroo? I mean, they're kind of laughably torturous. So freezing cold it knocks the breath out of you. Discarded Garnier Fructis sample packages EVERYWHERE, clogging the drains so that half of your shower is spent wading through dirty water. You're desperately trying to get clean but it's hard to feel very clean when you're finding someone else's hair stuck to your leg....
I used to laugh at all this. It's a part of Bonnaroo, I said. But now I know, and unfortunately I can't erase that knowledge. Bonnaroo, you can do better! So much more is possible!
I should have figured out who ran the shower stations at Firefly. But I didn't. I was too busy taking blissfully warm showers in *clean* stalls. How did they do it? Was it magic? No. I'm pretty sure just not having a bunch of Garnier Fructis trash all over the place solved a large part of the problem. Can we fire them, please? Also, DOUBLE shower curtain doors. One for you to change out of your clothes and hang them in a dry place. The other for your shower. Wow, I thought. And then: so many places to put my own things! Everyone before me had either taken their belongings with them or staff had kept up with the mess. Amazing. The water temp - not cold. Slightly warm, even. The girl in the stall beside me shrieked. "This is the coldest shower I've ever taken!" she screamed. I giggled to myself. She had no idea.
Oh, Bonnaroo. You've made me quite the tough old bird.
And in response to the piss concern: I assume everything I touch or sit on at Bonnaroo is covered in piss, or worse. Anywhere else, piss would bother me. At Bonnaroo, I embrace it. Get dirty, ya'll. And then take freezing cold showers.

I care where people pee. I don't mind when people pee on the walls or out of the way locations such as on the side of the tents but I think it's gross to pee where other people sit such as in the middle of the Which field (I saw a guy peeing on a girl who was sleeping in the middle of the field during MMJ in 2008) or on trees that people lean against. It's also gross to pee in the fountain where other people swim (I have never stepped foot in the fountain - the water always looks nasty). No matter how many disinfectant wipes I use, I always get sick for at least a week after the festival. I was sick for a month after 2010's festival and ended up with bronchitis. I'm always really excited to see the bands and to meet so many great people but when I start to think about all the gross stuff that goes on (puke in the middle of the fields that I could accidentally sit or step on, trash strewn everywhere (look at What field after a headliner), portos with poop piled to the rim, guys peeing everywhere), it makes me not want to go. I skipped Bonnaroo this year because I couldn't take another year of getting sick. At least the lineup wasn't very good so I didn't feel bad about missing any of the bands (except for the Beach Boys - I'm kind of bummed about missing them). I'm waiting for the next year's lineup before I decide if it is worth getting sick for. I'm not going to get sick for a lineup that doesn't impress me. I hope it's so amazing that I can't pass it up because I really miss Roo (minus the gross stuff).
