Next year I want to make it to brunch and actually meet some more of you people! Other than that I accomplished just about everyting I wanted to. My big goal was not to be exhausted and miss the late night sets, and I was able to make it all the way to the end of Friday and Saturday night sets and the end of Elton! Would have liked to have seen Ty Segall Thursday night but I was trying to pace myself and didn't feel good already anyway.

1. take a watch. bless my friends for constantly answering me when i asked what time it was. 2. consider VIP. we've been talking about it but always buy presale. next year we're waiting til the lineup drops and if it's strong we're doing VIP. 3. write the shit down that i say i'm gonna do next year while i'm thinking of it. there are more things i thought of in the moment but now they're gone and i probably won't remember them until it's next year and i'm like "damn, that's what it was."

Get everything ready too early. Last time I was packing at the last minute, then had the 22+ hr drive. I was worn out by the time I got there.
Pick a tent and chill on Thursday night. Watch all seven sets. Get in early and just stay put. Last time I only caught a few shows.
Better food choices. I didn't bring enough good food with me last time. I'm not cooking because I don't want to clean and my group isn't big enough to make it easy.
Poncho!
Hat like the lawn guys use with the wide brim and flap on the back for maximum shade.
Absolutely nothing! This was by far the best year out of my 4 at Bonnaroo, and between the shows I saw, people I was with, and all the logistics, everything was just too perfect.
Be in better shape so im not constantly ready to go to bed from the time i pull into camp on wednesday. be more social. get really drunk at least once.
Load my ipods in advance. Every year I'm staying up into the wee hours of the morning before leaving for the trip filling those damn things. Every. Damn. Year.
I will stop trying to convince myself there is a chance in hell I will make a noon show on Friday.
I wish I had seen some St. Paul but I'm really glad I got to drunkenly socialize with everyone for longer at brunch!
I guess next year I'd like to try VIP (or RLARS if I'm reeealy strict with my saving and can find a group) and I know for sure that I'll be bringing less food and clothing but other than that it was a great year without any real issues.
I did a TON of research a few years ago to make sure I got the right chair. This thing is perfect. I put that in a killer Camelbak (not one of the pinner one`s. one that actually has some space in it) along with a hoodie, sun tan lotion, my (prescription) sunglasses, a light water bladder and maybe a little snack zone (bars, trail mix)
You can stay in Centeroo an entire day without needing to go back to camp with all of that packed.
I'm not gonna do much different, but if the girlfriend joins in again she wants to switch it up a bit. And I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't mean I have to carry a shit ton more stuff. I might have to try and hang with my old friends Cid and Molly, but we'll see where we're at in our lives. Also I need to just get some awesome shoes, cause my feet are startin' to really feel it.
Make sure I have a way to charge my phone without spending money, and try not to drink too much the first day. Going back to camp in the middle of the day sucked too, so make sure I have food for breakfast AND to pack myself a small dinner.
1. Get better shoes. I got quite a few blisters and for some reason they were all on my right foot. 2. Try to prevent my tonsils from getting swollen. Don't know what caused it; probably allergies. 3. Bring an easy up with tarps for shade. 4. Try not be so shy and meet more people.

1. Bring a cot because wow does it get damp and gross in the tent fast. My sleeping bag was disgusting by night three but there wasn't much I could do about it. 2. Related: pillow covers because my pillow got disgusting too 3. Camp with people with a similar personality to me (low maintenance, go-with-the-flow) who won't drive me insane 4. EZ-Up for Wednesday when volunteers are locked into the camp

There was a a place in the Solar Stage areea where you could charge your phone for free. It was by a booth that was doing the Bonnaroo Census. I don't think you had to do the census to use the charger but I could be wrong.
I'm going to second this notion. Hear Here! NEXT year I'm going to try and not have my job implode, my long time GF leave me for another women, and I will bathe the dogs and brush my teeth. 2015 HERE I COME!!!

I had a nearly perfect year. I camped with amazing people. My wonderful boyfriend kept track of the time and schedule and got me to most shows on time. (if we were late it was my fault. I still saw more music than any other year though.) My sister and I didn't fight once. I brought the perfect snacks for me. I actually ate enough to keep from feeling sick.
The only thing I can think of changing is wearing socks with my rainboots. I slipped them on barefoot to go exploring Wed night and my feet hurt terribly. Also I probably shouldn't get so drunk on Wed again. That was an accident and I apologize to anyone who ran into me. You know it's bad when rdk is making his way back to camp more quickly than you.

Kev had to stop you from jumping the gates and running onto the What stage. You were very determined to jump the gate and run up to the stage. Luckily....you were not kicked out

I see nothing wrong with wanting to be the Wednesday night headliner.
My hammock failed for long term sleeping purposes.
