There's always so many regrets. Being too tired to make it to Pretty Lights. Missing Polyphonic Spree doing RHPS so I could see Alt-J, which didn't happen because I didn't get there soon enough and got too claustrophobic trying to weave through the mass of people. Not seeing anything in the Comedy Tent (though that was really by choice because I didn't want to wait in line for hours for the possibility of getting in. Really wish they'd change that)
Another big regret was not wandering the campsites at night. I always forget to do that
Ferris wheel, silent disco (though I replaced it with the party barn), and my one true regret was leaving the hip hop super jam early (especially since I was in the rail), I had to meet some friends and I missed all of Wu Tang coming out, I was ready to cry the next day when someone told me
Not getting Amish Donuts. I was so busy all the time with trying to catch as much shows as I could, I forgot all about them. Next year I'll slow down and finally eat them.
Missing Brunch for a real good spot for Bernhoft. I did find the Inforoo tent late night on Sunday. i talked to a few of you, but I didn't get any of your names other than one person (Willie). Sorry I was being a really weird, shy teenager guys. I'm gonna make it my number 1 priority next year to see you guys at Brunch!
Last regret was missing Empire Of The Sun. My feet got infected Friday and blew up like balloons Saturday. I had the time of my life but was in excruciating pain, it was kinda hard to truly enjoy being on the rail for the Soul Superjam when you feel like your feet were bleeding. After leaving the Jam, i fell down in agony and couldn't get up for like 10 minutes. I debated about crawiling to Empire, but decided that'd freak out a lot of people, so I got up and waked to the infirmary ( which did nothing.) If anyone saw a kid screaming while walking, it was me.
But I'm happy though because I did so much. I rode the ferris wheel, went to the Cinema tent, and ran in the fountain at night ( felt like a good idea at the time, so they say).

missed Cloney because of the lengthy security checks and then I couldn't find the miller lite stage in centeroo. went over to wu tang instead. I regret that too.
So many lessons learned for me. Wasted my energy on things I'd wished I hadn't, missing the late shows more than once, not seeing as many artists as I wanted, not doing silent disco (no way I was going to lose more time waiting in line), missing all comedy acts, and some other random stuff I am too tired to remember.
Playing way to many drinking games during the day.....thinking I could champ out the LN shows. Completley blacking out 2 nights. UGH such a good time but I really wish I could remember my friday and saturday night.....

I sort of did this but only on thursday. Ended up drinking all our good beer, and got a little to hammered. Couldn't make it pass purity ring:( i was so sad as i had an aweome night planned in my brain. DAMN YOU BEER AND YOUR AMAZING TASTE!!!! CURSES!!!!

This happens every year, don't be embarrassed. Let this be a warning to those in the future who attempt the same thing. Download the soul super jam and zztop and the hip hop superjam from the 2013 download page. You won't do that again after hearing what you missed.
Bonnaroo is not a place to drink heavily during the day. The heat and alcohol do not mix! And this year was great weather,

Ya I found a mimosa in the morning followed by 3-4 beers throughout the entire daylight was my recipe to setup for a magical evening. Then all bets are off
The one thing I regret is missing Portugal. the Man perform Always Sunny's Dayman. I caught the end of the set, but missed that track. My friends saw it and I was able to see it thanks to my friend recording it. Other than missing Dayman, it was another awesome bonnaroo as usual!
I wish I had seen more late night acts. I only caught a couple. Friday night I was just so drained (and cold) that I couldn't swing it. And Saturday I could have gone a little longer after Empire of the Sun, but my cousin wasn't feeling it at that point. It wasn't a major bummer, but I feel like I missed some good stuff. I still did plenty and had an awesome Roo nonetheless.

Missing Animal Collective/Pretty lights due to complete exhaustion and knowing if i didn't sleep I would NOT be able to show up for my shift at 7:30 ... I had to do what I had to do but thats definitely my main regret this year
There is always a band I really get into a few months after Bonnaroo that was there, and I didn't see. In 2012 it was Trampled by Turtles, this year it is Foals.
I think my biggest regret was attempting to see Kendrick Lamar.
People were losing their sh*t over this kid and his album/radio play are awesome so we thought we'd check him out. Maybe he was tired, maybe he had a sore throat, I don't know. Totally disappointing and we left after like 3 songs, just in time to catch Edward Sharpe which was beautiful.
Oh, and not staying longer at brunch but we had to get to Bernhoft which was a good show.

With you there. I had no idea about Foals until like a month after Roo. I really don't even remember how I came across them, but Holy Fire has been pretty much on repeat ever since. So upset I didn't find out about them sooner.

IMO Kendrick is awful live. I sat through his 2012 set and had to keep asking my buddy if it was real or a joke. Worst show I have ever witnessed. No way I was going anywhere near his set this year.

See I only heard good things and everyone was fan-girling over him so the husband and I thought we'd give it a shot since we liked his songs enough on the radio. It was a total joke. Not only was his voice unrecognizable (again, maybe the kid had a sore throat!) but he seemed tired.

By far the worst set I saw this year. Absolutely f*ckin terrible.
Little intro first, by 09 I had seen Merle haggard 3 times but had only seen snoop once, I decided to see snoop again instead of splitting time to go between the tent and what missing mist of both, I finally listened to the download of the haggard show from 09 and I absolutely made the wrong decision. That show was sweet. Snoop was ok but nowhere near as good as the earlier show I had seen and nowhere near as good as Merle. The crowd was so into it hootin and hollerin like a real dancehall , real bummer but I am glad someone recorded it.
Instead of going straight to Superjam after R. Kelly this year, I made an of-the-moment decision with my dad to check out a couple songs each of Billy Idol and Weird Al (this was my idea and I don't think he really cared what we did.) I didn't really care for what I saw of Billy Idol (really was just hoping to hear White Wedding, Rebel Yell, and/or Dancing With Myself) and while it was fun to see Weird Al do "Fat", I probably could have done without it (also caught "White and Nerdy", which was just awful.) Finally got to Superjam when they were finishing up the Sly material, but I wish I'd seen the whole thing, especially after seeing the set list when I got home. I am glad I got to see what I did, though (tail end of main set, plus the absolutely incredible encore.)
