Man, I forgot how negative people can be. I can understand how for some people, Bonnaroo isn't their thing. But to generalize all the attendees as drug-addicted losers (while talking to a person who just got back from the farm) is really harsh. It's just a reminder to me that I have to do my best to protect my good job, my health and my family so I have the ability to go back every year.
runninglouisville I feel ya. My mother-in-law lives in Huntsville and was asking people the other day if anyone was going to Roo. She used to live in Middle Tennessee and gets it. I mean, my wife's been 8 times! haha. When she asked this one group of ladies if they knew anyone going they scoffed and said "Oh no. We've seen what goes on there. That place is the Redneck Woodstock." WTF? I love that my m-i-l told them "Well my daughter and s-i-l are going and anything that happens at Bonnaroo, you can find right around the corner in any town in America." Byah!
Luckily, that's why Bonnaroo has a big fence around it...to keep this negativity out. #gatedcommunity

Reality greeted me yesterday with a 14 hour work day. Left for work early, traffic for 45 minutes. Meeting at 5:30, ended late, almost at 9.
Sigh.
Now I have projects pretty much straight through June that I have to work on, but I still haven't mentally recovered from the weekend. Responsibility is a bitch.

I have hundreds of emails to go through and am just not ready to be at a job right now Thankfully there are people here that also went, so I can chat with them about everything!! I want to go home and watch videos of the shows I just saw....... And I still need to do my laundry.
tj and I are sitting at Knoxville airport waiting to fly home. We are both so sad to be leaving. I have been to a tom of festivals back home and I always am ready to leave by the last day. Bonnaroo is different. It really is something special. It's hot and uncomfortable and I barely saw any bands. But I made some great friends, the bands I saw were incredible. I drank some great drinks, ate some great food. But that's nothing different to any other festival either.
That thread where they have the list of things that could only happen at bonnaroo never quite worked for me. They have those things at every festival on the world. But bonnaroo is different. It's hard to describe how it differs. It's impossible. I think it's the positivity, maybe.
But that was the best festival I've been to. It was the most amazing place and time. And I don't really know what it was that made it.
Thanks for all being so insanely lovely. All of inforoo and the whole of bonnaroo. I will be back.

Save travels my limey friends Loved meeting you both, and I am so happy you loved Bonnaroo as much as we do. Cheers!
I'm still wearing my wristband. I don't want to take it off....
Came to the office today, not too horrible but god damn everything just feels off. I am really really really starting to apply for jobs. One thing i realized at Roo that hit me is "if i hate my job so much, fucking do something about it" so i am hoping to get out of here shortly.
Another thing that sucks about reality is not fucking knowing the next time i will be seeing this girl. I know it was just 2 days ago, but it was so awesome to just see her and be around her for those 5 days. I'm crushing hard!!
With both of us having hectic jobs and trying to readjust to reality, it's annoying the amount of exposure during Roo, to get that taken away and not know when you'll see them next time. Hopefully will be going on a date in the very near future, just getting fucking anxious!!!!

This is probably the cutest thing ever. Totally understand these feels.

Aww thanks!!! Glad i'm not the only one with this feeling. The excitement of what the future could hold has got me all giddy you know? Just trying to not get ahead of myself but it is hard.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I've never been to any festivals until this Bonnaroo, does leaving ALL festivals make people feel this sad? If so I don't think I could handle going to another one, I honestly wish I could go to Bonnaroo every year I'm on this beautiful planet I call home.

I didn't expect to come home from Roo and want more than anything to just go back to the farm. All of the sweaty people, piles of vomit and everything. I've been back 2 days and I'm already in the process of quitting my job, and looking for a new one. This is soooo not what I wanted when I came back and I just want to be laying in a field

Absolutely not. At least for me at least. I've been to Firefly, GovBall, Roo, and Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo is the only one I truly miss all year around. The other festivals just give me the feeling after a really good local show. It's hard to explain how you feel after Roo to people who haven't gone.

I think I know what you mean, I think I've already annoyed a fair amount of my friends trying to convince them to go with me next year already.

My advice: Don't push it on them too hard. Wait for the lineup to be released in February and try and get them to go on the talent that is announced. Once you get your friends in the gate, the positivity and uniqueness of the festival will get them addicted. If not, find new friends. I'm kind of kidding in the last part, kind of.
Had a little meeting with my Ops manager this afternoon. Seems tomorrow will be my next day back to work, as i'll be shadowing and training to be a supervisor. I really hope i can get my head in the game, cuz my mind is still very much at bonnaroo. Promotion couldnt come at a better/worse time. Great pay raise, but my consentration levels are at an all time low. wish me luck!
Leaving bonnaroo is hard enough, but driving away in a different direction than my love makes it almost impossible to handle. Long distance hurts so much. I just want it to be last weekend again.

Girl, I have bits of my heart scattered all over the country right now.
But I swear, I'm working on a time machine. You can have shotgun.
wow, i feel all of you guys. so hard to get back in the grind, especially when the typical music around my office is cheesy radio country or adele. just no one to connect with besides my lady, glad i have her to wade through the storm with me, and all of you guys <3

I'm already getting shit from family and friends about wanting to go to Nashville next month and about wanting to go to more shows. I guess because I'm a mom I'm supposed to sit at home and do nothing until I leave for Bonnaroo next year.
