Post Tom Petty at the back of What two girls were backing a woman toward the water station. They said "Now bend over, Mom." One formed a shield though I could see it all. The other yanked her mom's bikini bottom and blasted her arse with drinking water. A couple minutes after this I wound up at a dance party on Shakedown for the next four hours. At that was a 100% naked girl. No paint. No bottom. She had a glow bracelet and a string of them at her waist but otherwise was as naked as they come. She was among the people dancing all over for at least an hour. I didn't mind.
Was that dance party at the end of all the vendors and the guys playing were called "sub squad"?
Sucks so much that you can show any amount of people getting shot in the face or chopped up on TV but nudity is such a no no.
I'm a visual artist who sees/draws a lot of naked people so it didn't really dawn on me till later, but there were a few at Roo...
I never got the naked fascination either, except for repressed sexual tension pushed in people by society. I didn't walk around naked at bonnaroo, but that's more for hygienic and personal safety reasons.
What I don't understand anymore is the young 20 and 21 year old guys oogling the girls with no shirts on. They are just breasts guys, I hope you've seen a pair by now. Of course I'm a in my mid 30s now.
Why women put up with us until we are at least 25, I'll never know

I don't care about nudity, in fact I got a good spot for Macca because of some naked dude rolling around in the field. That being said I am 36 years old and if a hot girl walks by without a top I am probably going to get a little good ogling in. I am not going to go hit on her or make judgments but lets be fair if you are wandering around naked at Bonnaroo it is not because you do not want people to notice you.

Taking a peek out of curiosity is a pretty natural impulse and I don't see anything wrong with it. Anytime I catch sight of a publicly naked person of either sex I stop for a brief glance. I think it's cool more in a 'Hey that's so awesome they're comfy with their body' kind of way than 'Holy god I gotta take a knee and masturbate on this mud right now.'

My girlfriend and had just grabbed a slice of Spicy Pie right after Tom Petty. We're standing outside of the vendors eating our food when we spot this guy. He was a particularly frail looking 20 something year old in a tie die T-shirt. He was aimlessly walking around the remains of the Tom Petty show with a hilarious confidence. He had the swagger of cowboy crossed with a runway model. Watching this guy walk in circles was a treasure. Eventually, he started walking right towards us, as if he was going to leave Centeroo. We decided to follow this guy out of Centeroo just to see where he wound up. We followed him for about 30 seconds, and then he took a huge, wide turn, never breaking stride, and headed right back for the stage. The creepy smile on his face is one of those things I'll never forget. I wish I could have been inside his head for 2 minutes.
Also, this guy named "Smiley" decided follow my GF and I for about 10 minutes. He introduced himself to us by saying "Hi, I'm smiley. I don't have any friends, and my girlfriend hates me, but I love cocaine." We parted ways once we stopped at the portos and Smiley was locked inside, banging on the walls, and singing his heart out. I would love to strap a gopro on some of these guys for the weekend.

I didn't say don't look, hell I'll look, but my mouth doesn't open and my tongue doesn't fall out while I do my best impression of a wolf from a cartoon either.
Maybe we've grown more artful in our glancing, but when I saw to 21 or so year old girls walk by about 10 guys, and all suddenly start yelling hey baby and not removing their eyes or the hooting and hollering, I feel bad for my sexes contribution to the species.
They are just breasts. A quick glance is one thing not looking away till you can't see them anymore, a bit differenf

Yep! It was incredibly fun. Were you there?
Yes I was!!! It was such a great time, did you see anyone wearing one of those orange safety jackets that construction workers wear up by where the two guys were DJ-ing, one of them had a handle of vodka that he was willingly allowing strangers to drink from? Those were my friends, one of them had come to our camp at like 1:30 in the morning and said we had to come to the rave truck. The rest of our group that was awake did as he asked and we had the time of our lives at that sketchy rave truck until like 5:30. Ended up not even sleeping, just packed up when we got to camp and rolled out because we wanted to have ended bonnaroo with bang.

I don't know if I saw them but definitely came across a few people with handles of liquor who were giving free pulls. I got some tequila and a couple warm beers. The beer guy was going around giving away water which was cool. I was also there 'til the end. It was the best and I hope to finish next year's Roo the same exact way. Dear Sketchy Rave Truck, please come back in 2014!
I just remembered that during Jack Johnson two guys walked by dressed as Mario and Luigi. The lemonade vendor asked them if they wanted to buy any. The guy dressed as Mario gave the best response ever " no Sir my pockets are empty except for coins and shrooms." This guy gave literally the greatest response ever but I'm also a video game nerd.

The craziest thing for me was at the superjam meeting this guy on the right
and these two girls
You meet a lot of people at Roo, but meeting three people from your same town.....That's pretty quacking crazy to me.
Also this,
They were extremely nice and patient while waiting for my buddy to get his camera out. They then stood there for a few minutes talking to me about who I was most excited to see, who I've already seen, etc.

Before R Kelly came on stage, we encountered a a pantsless guy being held down by another dude. Pantsless man finally stands up, exposing himself when he is tackled. My friend Mike runs in and stops the pantsless man from being stomped in the head. I really hope that dude is ok, he seemed really messed up and everyone took pictures of him.

The only reason I post this is because it fits. We are at Wakarusa. The tornadoes or coming and we have been warned. The hurricane and tornadoes are coming. We are in our tent and the end of the world is coming: We are under our tent and blankets. "OK God, i am not a good believer, but please don't take us now" I was trying to put my shorts on and I wasn't going out naked. Fun times ... cr***

I was there, too! It was so much fun! I'm really glad someone posted that band's name, because I didn't catch it and I loved them.

abrakapokus, isn't Subsquad (sp?) from Knoxville? I remember you talking about them.
Sometime early Sunday morning somebody stole a festival taxi and ditched it in the common area we'd set up between the vehicles in our convoy. Before they fled they tipped the taxi up onto its side, like so:
Later, around dawn, a shiz-ton of mounties and festival taxi supervisors and whatnot came by wanting to know if we knew anything. To which we replied, more or less: "Leads? Yeah, sure. We'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts! Leads, ha-ha!"
Eventually the festival taxi tow-truck came along to right and remove said taxi.
Still no idea what happened, or why.
I know what you're thinking, but I swear it wasn't us.
Nothing will top this one ^^^. EVER.
But I witnessed a "push" at Araabmuzik. Freaking awesome force of human crowd behavior. (scary too now that I reflect back on it.) We were standing center stage, about 50 feet back from the Tent's roof edge, when out of the corner of my eye to the right, this massive human horizontal mudslide started rushing forward. I have no idea how room was made, because it was tight as sardines already when the push started. It was soooo surreal, like nothing I've ever seen before. Just a chunk of synchronized people about 200 feet by 100 feet running like a river of ants. In my group, we had two GoPros, but neither were on to capture it. I sure hope somebody did.
www.dropbox.com/s/lut5bhiucjgaaab/araabmuzik.MP4 Here's a GoPro of 4 1/2 minutes of Araabmuzik getting started; not very exciting, but it shows you exactly where I was to witness the "PUSH" to the right of us.....

Wow where was I for all this craziness? I thought this was one of the tamest most non-weirdo-filled Roo yet. Just from my perspective.
Weirdest encounter I had would be this racist lady that was annoying me and several other people as we were waiting for the gates to open Thursday outside the Access entrance to Centeroo.
I had a t-shirt on my head and it draped around my neck and back, secured in place by a baseball cap. In addition to that, I had a bandanna covering my face and neck, and sunglasses. This lady turns to me and asks creepily "HOW LONG YA BEEN HERE?!?!?!".... I assume she's asking me how long I've been waiting for the gates to open, so I respond "about an hour."
She then clarifies: "NO! HOW LONG YA BEEEN HEEERRRREEEEE. YA CRAZY JIHAD!!! WHAT ARE YOU WEARING"... Now I understood she was asking how long I've been in the country....
I responded "ummmm.... it keeps my neck out of the sun." She then said "Oh, nevermind" and went to bother someone else.

I have to agree. I still saw a lot of weird/crazy/funny stuff but not on the level of prior years. There was also much less conversation with strangers. Everyone seemed like they could care less about talking with anyone other than who they came with.

I was also picking up that vibe, that people would not get out of their bubble and socialize. I mean, for god's sake-- It's Bonnaroo!!!!
Someone on Reddit said they were upset that they couldn't see weird Al... here's the conversation:
Them: I wanted to see [Weird Al] but nobody in my group would go Me: That's when you ditch your group. It's just one show. The 10,000 of us there would have loved to have you Them: Well it's not really just one show when you don't have a cell phone. Its so hard to set up a meeting place with so many people around. You separate without a phone and you probably aren't seeing your friends again until you get back to the tent...although there were some times where we got separated and almost magically found each other like 25 minutes later"
That to me is insanely crazy. C'mon people. Step outside of your comfort zone, please. God forbid you separate from your group for a few hours. It's not like you see them the rest of the year anyways.
