Bonnaroo

greengreengreen · 06-03-2009, 04:44 PM

im going to bonnaroo in tennessee for my first time. the concert starts in a week. its an 18 hour drive from mass to manchester where the festivals held. mad bands, im looking forward to this. i really dont know what im getting into. anyone else going or ever been to this before? any advice? is there a surplus of drugs for the taking? is camping for 4 days in the hot sun like a dirty hippie even logical?

you sit around in the heat, take alot of drugs (to say there is a surplus would be an understatement, but after the first few days it gets a bit harder to find specific stuff), and listen to amazing music for 4 days.

how could that not be a fucking blast?

have fun. im not hittin up the roo this year but ill be workin at rothbury.

adventure · 06-03-2009, 05:13 PM

Your in for a great time man. Bonnaroo is a fucking awsome time and don't let people tell you otherwise, haters gotta hate. This will be my 4th year attending, but my first volunteering.
My advice would be to practice setting up your tent and shade tent at home a few times to make sure you can get it up quick and easily. There is a fairly fast dash for space when you first get your car parked. But after that sit in your chair, crack a beer, pack a bowl, find your campsite on the map, and go off exploring everything. Keep in mind that the top half of the camping area (above bushy branch rd.) is where the cops do not partoll so much

Other than that I suggest you go down the roads around the #9 balloon in the camping areas. You'll know the row when you see it, it is a grass road just off the paved road.

Here is a PDF of the map

ALSO check out inforoo.com , it is THE site for any info about bonnaroo, and the people going to it. They have a forum camp in the tent only area, a yearly BBQ at the camp, and info pepole are a lot of fun. I am more involved with infobury.com the Rothbury festival sister site, but will be hooking up with a lot of buries and rooers during the fest. I am Pancake on either of the sites, PM me if you join.

Is this your only fest? I've hit Summercamp and Mountain Jam already this year, and am going to roo, Rothbury, All Good, and Gathering of the Vibes. And meet-ups always make em better.

This is the first time I've been on yahooks in a bit and it's nice to see a festy thread right off. Fuckin A!

pretty colors

Waves · 06-03-2009, 08:49 PM

^last year i tried to get a hooka gathering at rothbury but i ended up going a week early to work and shit with no internet

its a pretty small area, fest-wise, it would be cool to get a hooka smoke session going

Nug_King · 06-03-2009, 08:53 PM

Waves I'll be in camp infobury at Rothbury, but it'll make it easy to meet with our big flag. I am sure we could meet sometime if your down. And join infobury too BTW.......!
