i saw on the news that that crazy astronaut lady was wearing diapers on the drive to go abduct that chick so she wouldnt have to stop. how do you go from being an astronaut to being arrested for trying to abduct someone with diapers on??
I was way up front for Radiohead last year and everyone near us was their since before Elvis Costello went on stage. It was about 7 o'clock when these 3 girls behind me starting shielding each other and peeing in ahusi gatorade bottle. One girl next to them almost threw up. Now by this time I REALLY had to go bad but was less then enthusiastic about peeing in a bottle surrounded by thousands of people. Well about 10 minutes before Radiohead took the stage I just couldnt take it anymore, reasoned that i did not want anything to ruin the show of a lifetime for me, and proceded to do the unthinkable. I am not proud of myself for this, but neither do I regret it. After the show we were talking and waiting for the crowd to disperse when one of the cleanup crew yelled "gros, this bottle is filled with urine!". I yelled back "those sick bastards", then proceded to feel quite sorry for him.
On a side note I thought the girls were going to properly dispose of the bottle. But evidently i was wrong.

It would have to be a "bladder buddy"...or bottle for me! I can't imagine resorting to a diaper, fortunately i've been blessed with an incredibly resiliant bladder and only need to "go" once every 10-12 hours. Drinking, GREATLY changes this so I find other ways to ammuse myself for the "must be in front" bands.

I do admire the shi%t or pee people go through to get up front. My question is: Is it worth the wait and the bladder issues and missing out on other music to be upfront for a killer band? I have no idea I have never been that close. Last year radiohead I was way the F$#$ out there. thanks for the input.
Whatever you do, don't use a nearly empty cappuccino cup, the foaming action is unbelievable. I learned that one the hard way on a road trip, stuck in traffic in NYC, thank God it was a rental car.
i had a really close spot for radiohead earlier in the day. but then i suddenly had to go very badly. i tried to separate from my group to head toward the bathrooms. "tried" is the key word. i probably stepped on at least 15 people, crushed two water bottles, and nearly fell on some guy. only one girl held my hand to help me through, and everyone else gave me dirty looks because they thought i was trying to take their spots. i realized if i left, i'd never make it back.
so i ended up turning back around, repeating "excuse me, just trying to find my friends" over and over, just so i wouldn't have to endure those looks again. when i finally found them, i said, "let's get the f*ck out of here, we're going to be crushed". there just so happened to be a couple who had the same idea, and they were trying to make their way to the back of the crowd. we followed them (and eventually held on to them), like a little people train until we finally broke free.

The one thing I noticed last year was that at least you dont have to pee as much cause the heat makes you sweat it out instead.
yep i really didn't have to pee much, and i was sucking down on my camelbak constantly too. probably not very healthy, but it worked out for me! i was pretty darn close for radiohead ;D

I pee like every 30 minutes, whether at bonnaroo or not, so I've never been up front for a show. I dont think I could ever bring myself to pee in a bottle in the middle of a couple thousand people.
Power to those of you who can though. BONNNNAAAARRRROOOOOOOOOOO!

It's pretty obvious what needs to be be done here. The clean up crews don't deserve to be dealing with assorted containers of bodily fluids, let alone pissy diapers. We need to petition Superfly to install a massive urine gutter (like the type found in finer red neck bars) along the front rail. And ladies, don't despair, I'm sure someone with a little pipe fitting experience can work up some kind of workable adapters to allow equal access...
Always looking for ways to Build a Better Bonnaroo!
This is one of the greatest posts I've ever seen. Haha, you could probably just casually pee in the crowd or in a water bottle.. I've seen that take place god knows how many times! Haha.
If you are standing next to me in the crowd and start to pee expect to have your show ruined.
Especially if its right on the ground. I suppose I didnt think people did that, in the show areas. (pee on the ground, as opposed to a bottle, I mean) When I think now about how many times I just plopped down on the grass under THIS TENT... Oh man...
I feel like I need a shower just thinking about it.
I cannot enjoy myself at a show if i have to pee real bad, hopefully there are set breaks, or a song i dont particularly like, ill make my way to the portos. I WILL NOT pee in the crowd, its gross to all the people around me.

Word!!
I too always have to go to the porta. For me, it is more outta respect for those around me. I have no problem with whipping it out and peeing in front of people (at my age, I could care less who sees it!), but to do so on the ground where others will be sitting or lying is just too gross and so very disrespectful!!
I know the looks you get, trying to get back to the front, but it is a whole lot better having someone push thier way back to thier spot after a porta break than having them pee right there where your trying to jam!

"Heeeyyyyy ladies!"
"Is that piss running down your leg?"
"Ohhhhh, yeah! I need to be cleaned up! I'm dirty!"
At that point, I'm pretty certain Roo Security would step in.
bloody hilarious - so funny it made me start typing like a Brit! This thread has seriously brightened my day.
For my two pence, I'd go with the wide-mouth bottle or these have some sort of powder that absorbs and turns to gel and can be used a couple of times before they fill up:
Wish I had a spare bladder last year at Petty. We were fairly close to the stage and about 45 minutes into Petty I had to pee bad. By wiggling and dancing around I was able to hold off for another 45 minutes until after Stevie Nicks played. After finding the potty I knew I'd never find my friend again and chilled in the rear.
I think that before I wore a diaper, I would just pull it out and piss against one of the walls, I saw that done a lot last year, amtter of fact, I left a lot of piss on the wall myself.
