I was just looking back at my bonnaroo pics last year and saw this:
On our way down, we stopped at this little store and I told my boyfriend that I had to have a pickle in a bag. I have no idea if these things are common in the south, but I've never seen one in my life and I thought it was the best thing ever. Plus I love dill pickels. My bf opened his and I tried it and hated it. So we ended up with an extra pickel in a bag.
We dubbed it our Bonnaroo mascot and it traveled the rest of the way with us. While we were waiting in the long line, the "pickle juice" actually started boiling, which was the most amusing thing ever. When we got to camp, we put it into our "snack box". We thought one of the neighbors might want it, but no one ate it all weekend. Everytime we dug around the box looking for something to eat, someone would throw it out and be like, "why the f*ck is this pickle still here????". We ended up taking it back home with us and decided that we would keep it forever.
A couple of weeks ago, my roommate and I were talking about the pickle, and she was like "OMG that thing was just sitting the kitchen for MONTHS, I threw it out". My boyfriend and I were pretty devastated and he muttered something along the lines of, "damnit, we could have taken it again next year" under his breath. Haha, guess we'll have to get a new Bonnaroo mascot.
So yeah, that's my story. What's the weirdest thing you brought to Bonnaroo?

^ hahaha thats hilarious... i have a bonnaroo mascot of sorts but its more like my festy good luck charm, its this kooshlike/octopus like blinkie toy i got like 5 years ago...and we call it our octopus, even tho it hardly looks like one at all...but thats not weird. i have to think of something weird i brought.
lol... looks like you have a leather c0ck ring sitting next to it.
go ahead and make fun of my boyfriends watch as much as you want... I can't stand that thing. It's lost right now, thank goodness. Unfortunately he always seems to find everything he loses

its more like a leather thingy watch i think, u never know when ull need the time
at first i thot it was a twinkie, then i saw kosher dill, and thot it was a kosher dill flavored twinkie
then i read on, and was saddened at the fact it wasnt a twinkie i was getting a kick out of someone might have eaten a dill pickle flavored twinkie
but ya, that was definitly a good pickle story
we;ve got pickles in a pouch up here in the north, they sell em at like cumberland farms n shit, never tried one,hopefully wont ever try one.but hell, they do make fora good mascot
We didn't have a weird thing....but we had some stupid things...two that spring to mind are: Cereal/Milk but no bowls and Hotdog buns....but no hot dogs

If i were a guy, I'd be sportin' the man skirt for sho! ;D
this guy had the right idea, especially if you're concerned about looking too feminine. I think it was some sort of camouflage skirt for hunting or something
I couldn't do it. I'll give props to JM for rockin' it out last year, but I always roll commando. With my luck, I'd get all f'd up, and pass out on the ground with the Sarong over my head!
(I'm Dutch Indonesian/French though... Sarongs came from Indonesia! Pops would kick my ass if he heard me say that I wouldn't wear them! LOL)

I don't have a picture of it, but my friend has this old plastic pink piggy bank that he let me take last year. I wired a battery to a flashing green light and put it inside the pig. I brought some rope with us, and what we didn't use at the camp, I made a noose out of and hung the pig from it. Someone who saw it at our campsite asked if he could give it a name and write it on the side so all could identify it, and I said sure. He named it "Rockafeller". When I took the pig back to my friend he loved hearing about it's misguided adventures!
For the last two years, I've brought a plastic owl with me. His name is Boutros-Boutros, and he's one of those "scarecrow" owls that you can buy at Home Depot. We bring a PVC pipe to "perch" him on, and he's our camp mascot.
every year ,and this will be 4 ,we bring our birdbath for camp. actually now that i think about it me and my buddy stole it from one of his best friends that lives 2 houses up from me. we have to put a rubber duck in it. and last year a turtle. and we also drive from upstate ny with his mother-in-laws prostastic leg on my roof rack. it makes for an awesome ride to roo
