Wrong.

I once had a blow job so bad she scraped the skin on my wizard shaft.

The food is better than you've ever had (fucking bacon scallion sauce on a steak burrito). The crowds in general are friendlier than you've ever seen (60-something year old Phish fans give you pipes that they carved from elk antlers). Radiohead plays Separator. They clean the porta-potties (that's not a word, but portal-potties is? I don't want to know) more often. The vendors give you extra chicken strips if you dress like a wizard (thank you Dr. Garbanzo). Pot from the PNW trades like gold. Maynard James Keenan makes fun of hippies. Every band mentions that it's the best festival in the country and they actually sound sincere. It rains. It pours. They have taxis that take you from your campsite to the front gates and back. Air conditioned theaters where you can watch Rambo with Doug Benson and Brian Posehn. There's a 40 foot water slide that you can use for the entire weekend for $10. Did I mention 4 hours of Phish?

Alright, I'm gonna weigh in on this. Bonnaroo was an unforgettable, life-changing experience that was incredibly fulfilling. We got extremely lucky weather wise. The festival gods made us earn it in the 106 degree Coachella heat but it came full circle at Bonnaroo, where we didn't even dip into the 90's once. With that humidity even the 80's can be rough but we really did a catch a break that increased our capacity to enjoy the shit out of ourselves that much more. That being said we did encounter a CRAZY downpour on the last day right as we had packed everything up and were waiting for our friend's to pick us up. I've lived in Seattle, Panama and Florida- I've seen me some GOOD rainstorms and this one was up there. Me, Burrito and all of our belongings were soaked and the campgrounds started to flood and gurgle with mud. We drove to our friends farm dripping wet and soaked her backseat but it was cool cause we had a day to dry out. If we had been heading straight for the airport it would have been a disaster, if it had happened any other day it would have been a disaster. Risky business, that Bonnaroo weather.
Crowds... By far the friendliest crowds in the nation BUT the worst flow of traffic in my opinion. Yes the stages are set up strategically so that there is no noise interference which is rad but that also means crowds are funneled into walkways that get jammed rather than open spaces like Coachella. Stages... LOUDEST of them all! But if you are vertically challenged you won't see much of anything. The stages aren't terribly tall and the tents don't have screens. Most of the time it didn't matter tho cause the music was JUST THAT GOOD. Then tens were probably Bonnaroo's biggest downfall- they got pretty hot and I couldn't see much but it ended up being sweet cause I closed my eyes and DANCED HARD and it was a whole new way to experience a show. Sleep... didn't happen, that part was hard and would have been debilitating without the help of ms molly. Such a generous lady.

Oh, and... FOUR HOURS OF PHISH.

Sasquatch still takes the cake, always will. Bonnaroo gives it a run for it's money but comes up short. Coachella is whatevz.

The funnel of traffic at Coachella after the headliners was the worst thing ever, and most likely because Centeroo was open 24-hours with bands playing until 5, I didn't have any major problems with traffic. The only problem was when we lost Nadine, and regained cellular contact from near the front of the Radiohead crowd. Traversing 70,000 engaged Radiohead fans was, admittedly, pretty rough.

Even my Wizard Magic was challenged. But we succeeded.

The traffic was quite unusual. I don't know what it was about this year, but all Bonnaroo vets were complaining about the traffic.

My down low observation of Sas v Roo is as follows...

Stages/Venues
Sasquatch wins
Bonnaroo is not necessarily about seeing the bands, no screens other than the two large stages, tents are not high enough to watch, if you're average height or smaller, and you're more than 10 rows back, more than likely you're watching someone's head for most of the show.

Natural beauty
Sasquatch
No need to explain

Space/Layout
Bonnaroo
Bonnaroo is pretty much set up to dance and have lots of space to listen to the music.

Friendly Crowds
Bonnaroo
A way more hippie, down to earth vibe.

Weather
Sasquatch
Tennessee heat and the chance for violent and torrential downpours/thunderstorms trouble Bonnaroo's rating here

Arts and Crafts
Bonnaroo
They teach yoga, have make your own drum circles, improv classes, hula hoop classes, etc

Food/Vendor/Merch
Bonnaroo
Vendors of cool shit everywhere, food is amazing and cheap. I combined a spicy pie pizza with curly sweep potato fries during Phish.

Non-Music Events/Parties
Bonnaroo
Parades, Comedy, Cinema, Adult Swim games, etc. You could spend 4 days at Bonnaroo and never see a show and still have a fun time.

Cool peoples
Tie
Bonnaroo has Aussies, Sas has Canadians. But only Sas has the boarders. However, if you guys one day decided to show up to Bonnaroo, I would sexually be your guide.

Staff
Bonnaroo
hands down. Them peoples are all volunteers. Also Festicabs that drive you around for 5 dolla.

To be honest, Bonnaroo is a better opportunity for a great festival. It is partly what you can make it, and partly what the weather allows you to have. If all the boarders were there, I bet hands down, we would have an amazing time if the weather held.

For me Bonnaroo was a tie with Sasquatch this year but if I had to choose Sasquatch was the winner. Whereas last year, Bonnaroo was way better than Sasquatch.
