I had a hard time deciding between the bands and the vibe. Finally decided on the vibe as I'm sure I'd buy tickets even before the bands were listed but I'd be less likely to go if the bands were good and the vibe sucked.
It's nice to have both the bands and the vibe every year though.

i had to choose the chill vibe...i really don't know all the bands that play at bonnaroo, i just go, check them out and see what i really like...i just like going down to an entire area where everyone is really relaxed, looking to have a good time...
There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard. No song that I could sing. But I can try for your heart Our dreams, and they are made out of real things Like a, shoebox of photographs With sepiatone loving Love is the answer
A little feeling in my gut that I get of late when I think about these cats running the world with hate

i haven't even been to Roo yet, but I know I'm going because of the vibe. If the vibe I feel on Inforoo is a fraction of the vibe at Bonnaroo, then I know it'll be the best experience of my life. Of course I'm there for the music too, but I was planning on going before I knew the line-up
People Watching. People are funny. People are funny looking. People are beautiful, scary, kind, ridiculous, attractive, repulsive, and all around wonderful to watch, especially in an atmosphere as unique as Bonnaroo.
(oh, and the music ain't bad either. )

Ya sometimes I will catch myself just zoned out watching people. Actually last year about 30 mins before the Tool show we were chillin in the grass. I was standin up just in a semi-hypnotic state just watching everyone! Then I looked in the distance and snaped out of it because I seen a guy take a picture of me. I had to of looked like one of those meerkats poke his head up just lookin. I've searched high and low and still cannot find that guy or pic anywhere.
You know, for me its murky. I went last year because of the music but I also really looked forward to the vibe/"scene" that I had heard so much awesome stuff about (I'm from Nashville so Bonnaroo is kinda a rite of passage at my high school). I loved the shows - I saw a million and still missed so many great ones! - but for a girl who's idea of roughin' it is a hotel without room service, it was at times a bit much to handle. Although I would never use this terminology, my friend insists I was a "Bonnaroo princess", so there you go. I came home saying it was a great experience but a "once in a lifetime" type of thing.
But then, this year's lineup came out. I know a lot of you purists weren't thrilled, but when I superimposed some of the acts onto my memories of Roo (Roo is like childbirth, you forget the painful stuff and just think of the joy after its all over), I just couldn't say no. So I guess, its a little opposite of what a lot of you are saying - the scene is what got me going, but the music is what will keep me coming back.

exactly... almost word for word what I was going to say....I initially like a few bands....then I grow to love most of them leading up to roo....but really it's the environment...the awesome music is just a plus....a very large plus

I go because the people are amazing. Almost everyone there is willing to help you out if you need it. Most everyone is there to have a good time, and you feel that-- all weekend long. The bands, are amazing, but Bonnaroo wouldn't be Bonnaroo without the people/vibe.
1. The vacation away from children, job and reality 2. The music 3. The community 4. The people watching
Pretty much in that order - I love being in the TN sun - I love the fact that no one is judging anyway by what they are wearing and whether they have on brand name crocs or fake ones.
I love the fact that if you need something and ask for it - more then likely - it will be given to you and you find yourself doing the same thing - when someone walks up and needs something - you are more then willing to lend a hand.
If you have ever been to Roo and didnt want to go back then you probably need to get your head examined or get that tremendous stick pulled outta your @$$.
As for me: 1) Love Camping 2) Love Pearl Jam, MMJ, etc,etc 3) Love the people 4) Love the naked people (ok, only the naked women) 5) Love the vibe 6) Love the Pizza at centeroo 7) Love getting away from reality for just only 4 days 8) Love the hot Tennessee heat (Oh wait, no I dont) 9) Love the anticipation of June getting here 10) Love Thursday when all you do is chill and soak it all in.... 11) Love everything Roo
