So I think what we've learned is that no matter when you start or what you ingest, appropriate non-alcohol fluid intake is the key to Bonnaroo success. Yay!
My first drink is usually Bailey's in the coffee w/ breakfast...
...then about an hour after breakfast, (say 11ish) some Red Bull and vodka to really wake up. When we leave for the arch, I always pour a full cup of whiskey for the walk.
Then once we're there, it's just nice, easy consumption all day. We usually take a bottle or two of whatever we want into CenteRoo and sip off of that until we go back to camp for dinner. Then things get a little more serious!
I basically like to have a mild sustained buzz for as much of the day as possible. It no problem, as long as you remember to hydrate!!
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "

this is correct - no matter what you do - hydrate plenty and often
I get my drink on early, drink a good ammound after noon and then taper off for some time eat and then get back on it at about 6...I do pace myself and keep a nice buzz till late.
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
Last year I got up and drank 3 or 4 bottles of water first thing in the morning, followed by one or two beers with breakfast. After that, nothing but water and gatorade until sunset, at which point I began to Drink Heavily. Worked out pretty well, I intend to use the same general schedule this year, with the exception of Sunday. I'm considering going on a King Hell bender on Sunday this year. We left too much beer last year, and I don't think it would be 'right' to bring less beer, for a variety of moral reasons.

Last year was great.We left wal-mart at like 7am. we got in line maybe by 7:30am and before the car was in park waiting in line we were funneling double beers. Not very smart bcause the tents were a little harder to get up.

this will probably end up being our situation, or at least mine, minus the funnels and wal-mart. as far as corn and the 4th demention goes, im sure ill be partaking in the corn but like someone else said 5 years of hard partying have taken their tole (sp?) and im not as good as i once was when it comes to mixing the two. however i also know that this is going to be a unique weekend and i can also be as good once as i ever was.
i do plan on not getting blitzed for PJ though. that would ruin my weekend not remembering that show. damn you inforoo on keeping me from my paper on the moral and humanitarian arguments for the abolition of the slave trade.

Friends I camp with start VERY early on Thursday with alcohol and other ingestibles. I've never been to a festival with these two that their tents are up before the second day. They usually spend the first night in my zero gravity chairs under the shade tent. Depending on the weather they might never get the tents up.
I'm taking a MONSTER risk by volunteering to drive the RV on the first leg of the 15 hour trip from NJ, because if my friends bang back too many, I'll be permanant chauffeur(?). But then again, something about an RV brings out the kid in alot of guys, and I know my friends can't wait to have their "turn" driving it, so I'm sure they'll be good. Plus, If I drive first, then I'm freed up to get banged up for the trip, and it's so long, I can even pencil in a nap to straighten up. Either way, my crew is a bit older, mid-30's, so I think we have the pre-party, and post-party, routines down pretty well. And may I recommend an oldie, but a goodie, for that AM rough start...Morning Relief Alka-Seltzer...basically, alka-seltzer, w/caffine...not too mention ole, reliable Wake-N-Bake....
