I actually do like the idea of a festival that's a platform for everyone to do their own thing and create the experience. That's basically what Burning Man is.
Wakarusa was king of lawlessness festival. Zero heat on grounds and security there for safety only. So suck they had to abandon it. Hula is a possibility. I think the family wants to go back to the mountains in the fall, so Asheville or thereabouts is more likely. But I have like 4 vacations in the next 3 months to deal with before making a final decision. I might get a ticket for me knowing that it will sell out and can always move it later and assuming Voodoo is RIP for this year.

Billy Strings doing a 3 night run in Asheville during hula weekend. If you end up in AVL.

Man, I miss wakarusa.
My only Waka was Mudarusa - I had a difficult and amazing time
Yeah. He and his band were pretty good last Thursday. I walked over to the festival to listen in because I was free that afternoon. I ran into a couple of long-ago Inforoo people from out of town who used to get into it here with a certain “s-list” poster. Haha. We would likely come in mid-October and will definitely check out the Orange Peel and other appropriate venue calendars for possible shows.
one year at waka I volunteered with a buddy. They told us they had shirts for us, so we showed up topless to our first shift. they did not have the shirts ready for us. spent 4 hours in the middle of the afternoon at the main dumpsters sorting recycling from trash. got super sunburned. but they brought us some beers and let us finish our shift wandering the back of the revival tent in shade.

My oldest kid went that year. He f'd up and left his suitcase open in a tent instead of in a trunk. He swore he'd never go back. So I bought everyone VIP tickets for 2014 and he happily went back. That was such a steal. Like $750 for 3 meals a day, snacks all day, section in front of the biggest stages, all the beer and water you wanted and camping behind the main stage in the trees and alongside a mountain lake with all the room you wanted to camp at. And Mulberry Mountain is such an incredible place as so much of NW Arkansas can be. Lots of freaks and wooks for sure were in effect, but except for the most spun of them all, harmless and fun. We did it again in 2015 which was the year the shower contractor dumped all that grey water into the lake and caused the lawsuits which knocked it back apparently forever. Certainly it was jam-heavy in the day and EDM/freak bands all night. But since I like all that - particularly the jam- we got to see so many great sets those couple years. They'd always do multiple nights of the headliners, so you'd get either 2 or 3 days of STS9, Umphrey's, String Cheese, etc. And we saw Theivery, Lotus, Ben Harper, Chance the Rapper, Conspirator, Gigantic Underground Conspiracy, JRAD, Savoy (who I haven't seen since), Quixotic (who I also haven't seen since) and just dozens of other acts between Wednesday and Sunday since that was a 5-day party. There was always freakier shit than even Quixotic which I'd love to have seen - in particular Wookiefoot. It's not even that I so much like their music, but I'd want to participate once with their crowd for the freak potential. I don't know if they're still together or if they ever play outside of the Upper Midwest anymore.

wookiefoot played at like, 4am after Umphrey's and we stuck around just for people watching. so many wooks and zombies LN wandering throughout the woods. I have a very vivid memory of this lady, stark naked walking around munching on a fourth of a watermelon and the biggest smile on her face.
waka was very much like the first couple years of bonnaroo, but in a much prettier location. mulberry mountain was great.

^^ LFMAO. There were so many freaks late night. Usually you're getting those random 4am Revival Tent sets and then the mountainside/Satellite Stage with freaky EDM playing until 6/6:30am. You already know only the hardestcores are at those shows. Sgt. Blotter (old Inforoo) told me he saw one naked dude running across the mountain who just went off the edge into the forest. They looked for him but couldn't find him. Hopefully he was okay. Then my middle kid told me of the naked guy in the tree at sunrise during Govinda 2015 playing monkey and taunting security until they got his ass. He left his shirt in the tree which was still up there a few years later when they held the first Backwoods at Mulberry. Everyone at the stage was dying laughing about it, and some dude climbed the tree to retrieve the shirt as a souveniere.

The Ferris Wheel is the biggest scam at Bonnaroo. Like, I only want to ride it at night, when the best shows are happening, so I never actually make it on the damn thing. I still have an unused ticket from 2019 in my fanny pack lmao.
at beale street music festival they had a ferris wheel and it was free. sponsored by Nissan, and if you had nissan car keys you got to go to skip the line.
It was right at the back of the main stage too, so the wife and I saw Modest Mouse play Never Quack a Spider on a Fly and Dashboard. It was pretty cool.
I think riding the ferris wheel at night is fun, but don't discount the day time ride either. You get better views of the campgrounds and stuff.
