I love being by myself at Roo. If I want to join a group, I can. If I want to venture off I can. I've always had my BFF or a friend go with me. But like this year, my friend will be together when we work. Then it's a crap shoot if we catch a show together.
Dat ez up tent tho. Makes it so easy to set and take down camp. My car camping pass came in and I hit Walmart for a few supplies. Time to pack.
It's usually 95° + here right now. BTW , don't let your chick decorate your ride with Bonnaroo Bound or shit like that. You will be an easy target to get stopped.
Bout that time! If any of you spot this flag, come say hey and I’ll, uh, give you something. Also, we have a pretty big group and everyone is super welcoming, so if any of you solo folks want to join up for some shows just shoot me a PM and we can exchange numbers. Daddy Rabbit I forget exactly what your situation was, but it seems like you’re squared away now. Regardless, we will still have a mostly unused campsite close to the Centeroo entrance, so if you need that for any reason, just give me a shout.
When’s everyone leaving. Debating leaving super late/super early Thursday but don’t know how traffic getting in either day will be.
I think we the extra people this year traffic is gonna be a bitch. My groop is leaving earlier than usual. We will be in access camping tho so we will be close no matter what.
Picking up my friend at 730 Thursday morning. Should be at the high school no later than 830. Hopefully be on the grounds by 915-930. Shift starts at 10a in VIP camping tent
I actually had to sell my ticket this year :( Sister is in from Denmark and she couldn’t move her visit
Damn man. I just realized you hadnt been posting much in here. Sorry to kick you in the nuts. If I see the Gold Bond totem, I will give those Canucks a high five in your honor.
Ended up buying a guest pass and camping pass and was able to sell my GA for about what I paid. Looking forward to camping in the trees and hopefully having no wait getting in to centeroo.
Leaving in 10 hours. I want to be there now. But one last shower and bed sleep ain't going to kill me. I get all four wristbands tomorrow morning. I'm 60/40 I will and I will be camping in the Broo'rs tent of all places. Please don't rob me.
Thanks for the tips! We are bouncing back and forth from Which and What all day Saturday for Maren Morris, Hozier, Odesza, Post, Kacey Musgraves, and The National. How will I know it’s you that I am buying a beer from? We are only going back Sunday for Illenium and the experience. Any hookup at The Other Stage? We are so excited for tomorrow!
1) Daddy Rabbit Tex Earn_Marks Michael Scofield Truly sorry I didnt get to meet you all. I was pushing for it. Planned to walk around and meet up with anyone who was responding sunday but girl i came with had a bad trip sat night and I took her home due to anxiety Sunday afternoon. missed out on the lumineers, cardi and phish 2) HOLY FUCK THAT WAS FUN!!! Im dead tired and my legs are killing me but WOW. I'm bit hard by the big festival bug. Man it really was packed to the damn gills and 80K was def in attendance. I dont see how you cant enjoy it, it has something for everyone, literally all age ranges. We had to wait in line for like 4 hours off the interstate pulling up wedesnday night. I finished my shift driving, slept through it, was shocked awake by a volunteer searcher yelling "wake up you're here!!" and knocking on the passenger window. set the tone for what I was about to experience over the next few days. 3) "bonnaroo doesnt start till friday" someone told me this and it was dead on. Energy thursday afternoon and even night was chill. But come friday afternoon damn, the rowdy factor ramped up. I went hard till 4 am sat and sun morning and already I wish I stayed out later. the juice and energy was INSANE 4) Best sets in no particular order. Gambino (#1), Catfish, Grammatik, Zhu, Odesa (#2), Chelsea Cutler, Hippo Campus, Girl talk (#3)..Soul Rebles, Juice World, even Post Malone was decent. 5) There was quite a bit of drama brought about by drug use in our group. In addition to the girl I mentioned, one guy did 5 tabs of acid, vomited and collapsed...had to take care of him and got separated from the group for some time because of it. Another girl was rolling her face off on molly, we're all raging (her, 3 other guys, me) at kalliope, it's 4 am and lasers / fire blasting everywhere...i look up just in time as she starts jerking, has a full on seizure as I watched in shock and went down like a sack of potatoes. dance floor clears and a bit blood is just leaking out her mouth. They took her to the medical tent and she made af full recovery thankfully...but damn, know your limits and pace yourself. 6) I survived my first extended tent experience, but having a hammock / easy up unter a tarp, with tapestries, is a way better solution that keeps you out of the sun. lesson for next time. 7) the totem game...lmaoooooooo I'm coming back next time with the rowdiest thing I can dream up. Have at least a year to come up with something. 8) the weather was fucking awesome. p.s. forgot to mention this but i gave out more hugs, daps, high fives and compliments in 4 days than in about 2 years lol
They did a presale Sunday at a booth on the grounds and another through the app. Think it was only something like 2-8pm though.
They didn't have a sponsor this year. If anything you might find the Sirius XM replay. Only vids you'll find on YouTube will be self shot
What a damn weekend. Special place, that Bonnaroo. Got to meet up with Daddy Rabbit Sunday for a brief moment on Sunday and that was awesome. The rest of you...next year! I hope y’all will be back. Had a huge smile reading your recap, hood b. goode. Happy Roo from our croo! Side note: That’s my dad right of me (in the cape) in the center of the second pic just loving life. He hosts and feeds this entire crew at his house every year and we invited him to hang with us for a few shows on Father’s Day. Pretty special moment for me.
You're damn right we did. I'm taking off work Tuesday next year. Fuck today. Surprisingly my fat ass isn't as sore as I thought I would be. Especially sleeping on plywood all weekend.
