Bonnaroo/Multi-Day Festival Going 101 (Need Feedback Her
Originally posted by nonameface:That's some funny shit right there. PLEASE all of you watch Sarah Silverman's opening monologue from the MTV Movie Awards.

Perhaps Paris has email and you could ask how she is managing?
. . .latch onto your lady buddy - she seems ready to go!
As far as the lady buddy, I'm catching signals from her that our friendly concert going agreement may take a sexual overtone next weekend. Fine by me. If she wants me, who am I deny her that? It would be downright selfish of me. God gave me a gift and I should share it. :D
Just thought of it, too. If anyone can provide me with a pic of an authentic ticket, I'd appreciate that. I think I'm gonna do the craigslist thing, so I'm doing my due diligence thing beforehand to ensure I don't get burned. If I'm forgetting something, more feedback is appreciated. Y'all been mad helpful. Looks like I'm gonna be copping some folks more than a few thank you beers. :D
Are you implying that he must have played organized sports because he's black, or because he has a "big member"?

I'm just weird about showering. Unless it's pre, post, or during intercourse w/ your "participant", I believe it's something that should be done alone. Not right or wrong, just my opinion. Plus showering around a bunch of dirty ass people (And there are a lot of dirty fuckers out there, unfortunately) isn't really ideal.

*First & foremost, the showering thing. I heard there's VIP showers or something like that. (If so, I'm willing to bribe somebody to get in them as I only plan on getting regular tix.) Then I also heard there are NO showers & only "sinks". Am I gonna have to end up showering myself in the middle of a swordfight???? The prospect of even going a half day w/o showering plus displaying the *ahem* organ in an area full of sausage doesn't appeal to me even a little bit, and is the main reason I ain't 100% on going.[/QB]You don't shower at Bonnaroo. You just…don't. Bring baby wipes, lotion and cologne and do a navy bath every night if you're that worried.
If you MUST shower and aren't in VIP, you can pay $10 for a private enough shower. Still, don't expect to be totally clean, as the area around it will be muddy. The only other alternative is attempting to sponge bath or something at the sink area, and again, it's super muddy there too.
*I Have serious iPod withdrawal issues. I'm guessing it would be super dumb to bring it, as I'm guessing I there won't be a power outlet center.[/QB]Get a car charger.
*Heard they search you upon entering the venue. Is this a go through your vehicle thing, a pat down thing or what? I'm not too keen on being touched by unknown humans unless they wear a 34B or above. :D [/QB]It's not a big hassle. They'll probably look in your car, and have you open your trunk to check for humans, pets, grills, fireworks, obvious drugs (so don't be stupid and leave anything in plain sight). Also, the do a basic bag opening and pat down as you go into Centeroo (the festival area), no different than going to a club.
*Me & my lady concert buddy plan on bringing a cooler full of bottled water, food (hot dogs & burgers) & a little Heineken. Is this feasible or what?[/QB]Cooler full of water is a must. I cannot stress this enough, bring alot and drink it often.
Beer has to be in cans or those unbreakable plastic bottle things, no glass bottles allowed. Beer prices inside are average for festivals, around $5-8. However, they do have an excellent beer selection inside.
Burgers and dogs are good only if you have an electric grill that you can plug into your car, since you can't have open flame.
*How hot does it get really???? (100s??) I've heard it's unbearable at night AND during the day, so need feedback on that.[/QB]It's the south in June…it's usually fucking hot, unbearably hot and humid. Drink water, piss often and escape to the tents with ac (comedy tent, movie tent) a few times a day.
*What are the best times to get down there/leave??? Plan on getting there Friday, leaving Monday.[/QB]Last year we got there Thursday evening a little before dusk and getting in was a breeze. We left Sunday mid-afternoon and encoutered a little traffic getting out, but no more than 30-45mins worth.
I've heard horror stories about Friday afternoon, late Sunday night and Monday morning.
*Doing the camping thing. Got the tent, grill, shade covers, etc. locked down. Any other tips are apreciated.[/QB]Water, sunscreen, water, trashbags, water, flashlight, water, toilet paper, water and um…water.
*Please advise what other crucial areas I may have missed.[/QB]If you do drugs (I don't), be careful of cops…they are around patroling the campsites. Also, don't be that guy who OD's and makes the whole festival look bad.
Also, once you get within about 60 miles of Manchester, watch your speed. State troopers and local cops are everywhere, and will pull you over for anything and search your car…they know what's up. Once you start to see alot of cars pulled over being searched, you know you're close to Bonnaroo.
Enjoy!
Oh, if you plan on boning your lady friend, bring condoms (though you should already :) ). It keeps things cleaner with the lack of shower facilities.

Me thinks you will have a life-altering experience all around.
Originally posted by Charlie Nakatestes,Japanese Golfer:Neither. TheDirector217 just seems very agro. Which would seem counterproductive to Bonnaroo, but hey, it's a free country.

You DO know as a consequence of this your MAGIC song may be some twenty-minute version of a Widespread Panic or String Cheese Incident "jam?"
Or, God forbid, something off of "Sky Blue Sky!"
"Just lie back and think of Volkswagens…"

one thing i forgot: be nice to the horses. we had a mounted security company work with us at vfest last year, and i'm pretty sure they do bonnaroo as well. great guys, nice horsies. just don't try to run away from them. you will lose. i got to "send in the cavalry" after a fence jumper. i enjoyed it greatly.

I never got that impression at all. Seriously. What makes you say that?

And I hate jam bands just for the record . . . . ;)
Unless it's a live version of "Dazed & Confused", there's not any 25 minute song I think of that'll hold my attention.
Did anyone see the picture of him in the concert report from this month's Rolling Stone? It's a perfect example of why I hate his fucking guts…on a personal level.

I'll still never listen to Jimmy Buffett, though. Gotta draw the line somewhere. :D
"Echoes" is pretty fucking close, as is "Atom Heart Mother." And I guess the full, pts. 1-9 "Shine On" is over the 25 minute mark. But I get the feeling those would be exceptions :D

Originally posted by nkotb:Gold star for nkotb. TheDirector217 stands corrected. Please add asterisks to my last statement. Pink Floyd most def qualifies as exceptions. I have a phantom $500 stashed somewhere if Roger & Davey Boy ever kiss & make up. Which they won't, so I took a real $500 & copped tix to see The Police a couple times this summer instead. :D

Man, this is such an annoying thread.
