1. The WHAT PIT line - it was kinda mentioned above once or twice but then glossed over. It's a ridiculous system. I can't vouch for the Kanye Pit line (which I heard was dangerous) but I was in line for the Jack White one. Luckily I lined up close to the wall on the rest room side so I got in. You have a system that tells people to get into a line, so people who do WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO are lining up like civilized society. Then close to the end of Lionel Richie, there was a mass of people who just start lining up behind the people in line all the way down. I'm talking like couple hundred. Then when the people who have been sitting at the front finally get up and make some room, there was a mad rush from all angles to get into line. There is nothing but pushing and helpless moving. All of the other things people talk about getting someone hurt at Bonnaroo I've seen but I expect someone to get hurt in the PIT before anything else. If someone falls during that rush it would be bad. I feel really bad for the people who lined up like they are supposed to and then get screwed over because there are no rules, no order or anything. It's just stupid. I missed Phosphorescent to get in the pit. Turns out I could have just been a shiz and cut like everyone else. The bathrooms don't make it easy to keep people out, the same thing happened at Radiohead. Maybe the other side is less easy to bull rush, i don't know. Sir Paul was more orderly but it was an older pit crowd so perhaps that is the reason. Bottom line is if you are going to make a PIT system and advertise it, there has to be some sort of order to it. Maybe a system like the Comedy Tent has. Anything is better than what's currently in place, which is nothing. 2. The traffic Monday Morning - not sure what the deal was but I've never waited like that before. 3. The app - I've read some reports of secret pop-up shows. I thought that was what the app notification SURPRISES was for. All I ever got was ITS HIGH FIVE FRIDAY and ELTON JOHN IS ABOUT TO PLAY. I hate checking my phone at bonnaroo b/c it takes away from the experience but the fest is pushing it's APP and paypal. 4. I could hear the Which stage better walking through the campground to Groop camping better than being close to the Which Stage. The sound for Kanye was a lot lower than Jack White. 5. Late night acts. Hear me out - I don't care for EDM but I came to the realization this year that i'm in the vast minority. I bounced around late night w/ so many EDM acts playing. Basically the EDM tents were always overflowing and non-EDM was struggling (other than FLIPS) For example, I love Nick Cave but halfway through his set That tent was basically 3/4 full at best. Same thing for Deafheaven. Hopefully in the future when they schedule non-EDM bands at night (and i hope they do) they'll put something that will draw crowds like a Dr. Dog or Cake, which would be popular. If you were an electronic/dance fan your late night options are: = Late night tent act = another late night tent act = another late night tent act = another late night tent act = Kalliope stage = Sonic Stage late night = Silent Disco = Even the Christmas barn was dancing.
Who's idea was it to put the platform in the Miller Lite tent? They should move it to the area around the comedy/cinema tents are. The sound bleed was awful for the which stage acts.

I'm shocked to see so many people bitching about toilet paper in the portos. I thought it was understood that you bring your own TP with you? It's not hard guys.
In fact, I highly recommend the Cottonelle flushable wet wipes. They make your ass feel like a god when you're done. It's like $3 and fits easily in your backpack.

Yea, I always bring one or two of these things in my bag or pocket when going around Bonnaroo

Bringing your own is fine, but plenty of other festivals I've been to manage to provide enough toilet paper for their patrons. It's something they can improve on, which is what this thread is all about.

It was my first roo and I was under the impression TP was NOT provided. I took a baggie in with pre rolled TP for about 12 bathroom visits for the day. It came in so handy and so many people were thankful. Got cool things from good people and just met cool people in general from letting them have some TP. But I was amazed at how many people didnt have any.
I saw more people needing/bumming TP than i did cigs. Which I just found a little funny. I was happy to accomodate though. I also had a baggie full of wipes that I wiped down seats. YES IM THAT PERSON. If you went in and saw a clean toilet, I was probably the toilet fairie that fixed it for you.
Also, may not be a popular one with the masses but raise the age limit. This is no place for a baby or little children. They can call it family festival all they want but these babies need the comfort of their home not sitting in the heat. I saw one woman at Cage the Elephant with a newborn. She was in GA, in the heat, with an umbrella surrounded by people smoking pot. I am sorry but someone can push her and the baby. The heat is detrimental for babies. What are these women thinking? So many things can go wrong. An infant can die in those conditions. If I am extremely uncomfortable in the heat/sun I cannot even phantom what those poor children are going through. There is no need to put babies through that strife.
Then I saw a lady walking around with a line of like 5 toddlers tied to a rope? What the fuck?
I saw another "mother of the year candidate" actually breastfeeding in the VIP area at the CAGE the Elephant show. What the quack?
Wait, what about this upsets you? I'm going to assume you ate this weekend, why can't the child have the same right? The VIP area is rather large and grassy, it's not a mosh pit, so I can't imagine any danger to the baby.
I can't fathom any rational reason to hate on a mother feeding her child.
1. Start letting VIP'ers into the 3 Tent stage pit areas! It seems like all of these areas were empty or half full for a majority of the shows I went to (including Andrew Bird). Somehow I was able to get stage-side for Break Science, but that was about it. It really shouldn't be necessary to go Roll Like a Rockstar just to get this benefit.
2. Better bathroom distribution in the VIP camping areas. I don't think I've ever walked so far to use the bathroom since I started coming to Bonnaroo, including in GA. At least they were air-conditioned.
3. Hire some people to direct traffic when leaving the campgrounds. Too much chaos getting off the farm this year due to little or no direction at choke points.

Karma... gotta pay it forwards!
Haha, I was the exact same way! I had tons of little ziploc baggies with one-use amounts of TP that I used and gave away often.. also brought a big pack of lysol wipes that I used probably three of them to wipe down the seat, beside the seats, back of the seats, and the locks and handles.
I almost felt like every time I walked outta a portajon I should have said 'you're welcome' to the person goin in behind me cause I left those things sparklin!

Yes, you completely understand my point. I have a strong belief that children do not have the right to eat.
Don't bring back hate mongers such as "Ice Cube" (he so cold) Here is one example of the hate he has unleashed on the world;
ICE CUBE
"Horny Little Devil"
[Intro:]
You are the prince of darkness Arch enemy, father of evil Hell born, demonic, savage, fierce, viscious, wild Tameless, barbaric, uncontrollabe, obstinate beast
[Verse One:]
Horny little devil, you gotta back up Horny little devil, you can't bust a nut Lookin at my girlfriend's black skin You wanna jump in, but she don't like white men So don't throw that work you fuckin jerk Or get your punk devil ass hurt motherfucker She ain't with the pale face Cause y'all fuck at a snail's pace And you might get sprayed with mace By the ebony So when she's doing her job you better let her be Don't try to pinch the gluterus Thinkin that you about to knock out the uterus Cause she'll tell you to kiss her ass quick And where I'm from, devils get their ass kicked Mr. Sexual Harrasment Asking for a blow while the answer is "fuck no" Looks like you wanna terminate But that's when I go Psycho like Norman Bates I wanna kill the devil for talkin shit Cause he can't get a taste of the chocolate African breast; cause white bitches got no butt and no chest Black women have bodies like goddesses Sorta like Venus, but put away your penis Cause the devil is a savage motherfucker That's why I'm lighter than the average brother Cause you raped our women and we felt it But it'll never happen again if I can help it (me neither) Cause nobody in my neighborhood has caught jungle fever yet So horny little devil, you better listen Before your ass comes up missin and it's like that
[Verse Two:]
Now you wanna get me Horny little must be a F-A-G Tryin to fuck me out my land and my manhood Got broke eating Spam and canned goods Locking down on my neighborhoods Treat me less than a man cause right now you got the upper hand But my ass is a virgin You mignt have fucked the Indians but you can't surgeon me And when I'm on top I wont be fuckin ya I'd rather put a buck in ya Cause I hate the devil with a passion and when I see the whites of his eyes I start blastin Dig a hole and throw his ass in And I won't be happy til I'm down to my last ten Get his fuckin pitchfork Tie him up, and then feed the bitch pork Little devil wanna fuck me out my pay But horny little devil true niggaz aren't gay And you can't play with my Yo-Yo and definitely can't play with me you fuckin homo Cause we'll blow your head off And turn that white sheet into a red cloth Plus when they're all dead I can quit that jheri juice and get a bald head Then let it nap up Go down to the corner store and beat the Jap up Clean all the crap up out my city Now the whole block look shitty Put his dick on a wood block Swing swing swing, and chop chop chop Now who's the next to nut Color Me Badd, but you can't sex me up So don't even try to put a dick in a die Because this is what why in 1991 I'ma get my gun Put an end to the devil, so get a fucking shovel

If girls can walk around topless, why can't a mother breastfeed?
I realize some people are grossed out by breastfeeding and bodily functions, you may or may not be one, but a mother breastfeeding is fine with me, as much as a 18 year old girl with painted breasts for all to see

Dude, we saw your thread the first time. Go away.
Spoken like someone who would get a tattoo of a whiny little b!tch like Thom Yorke.

This. We had a great center spot for The Head and the Heart, back behind the trees, but we had to move as soon as the Miller Lite act kicked off because it drowned out the band we'd came to see. It was the only time it happened, but it was an annoyance.

Idk why people are getting worked up over the kid situation. If YOU wouldn't bring your kids to bonnaroo, then don't. But don't expect other people from bringing their kids bc you wouldnt. Some kids are natural born little rockers who have a beat inside them and they want to dance, too, damnit!
Also, if you think back to your childhood (and mine was spent camping all summer at the lake, outside...) I dont recall being too hot, or too cold, or even knowing that I was sunburnt. Until my skin was completely charred. With that being said, as long as you remind your child to drink plenty of liquids, keep their ears covered, lather them in sunscreen, what's the harm?
I saw plenty of kids and as adults, we recognize this might not be something we would do, but we all knew better than to smoke around the kid(s). If you notice in the pictures people post of the kids at bonnaroo, people aren't too close to them....... We can't make the parents take the kids home, but as people sitting next to them we can make decisions not to smoke/take molly/whatever other complaints were made around the kids. Just that easy.
Wait, what about this upsets you? I'm going to assume you ate this weekend, why can't the child have the same right? The VIP area is rather large and grassy, it's not a mosh pit, so I can't imagine any danger to the baby.

You have the floor, explain why you have an issue with it, I would really like to know.
I saw two very responsible looking parents with their two children at Elton John. It looked like they were having a blast running around in the back and collecting glow sticks from the ground. They were probably about 7 and 10 years old.
I probably wouldn't bring my kids to Roo (if I had any), but it's seemingly doable.
