Also, the people complaining about Tennessee being a horrible place to hold a festival, have you actually been to Tennessee??

I don't think there have been people complaining. 1 person, maybe? And I don't believe he (Pea) was talking smack about the actual state of tennessee itself - just the summer weather there. And he's kinda right. The Southeastern United States heat and humidity is pretty brutal. I know i don't miss that heat! That aside, Tennessee is in fact a very beautiful state.

You went to Bonnaroo in 2008? ME too! Loved it! Maybe my favorite 'Roo year. Sigur Ros was so good! But I will say that Bonnaroo 2008 was uncharacteristically cooler that year. 2009, too. However, 2007? IT was an absolute oven on that farm. And Apparently last year was also crazy-hot.

I really do love THE STATE of Tennessee, but I'm a pale, Scottish, white boy from Seattle and I can't for the life of me handle that humidity lol

i'm a pale, Dutch, white boy from Bermuda and I can't for the life of me handle that humidity either.

Believe me, I felt so warm and fuzzy everytime someone asked me if I wanted a sweet tea with my meal

hahaha... and I'm a pale, chubby, white girl from the wet coast, and I did alright.. although, I guess it was mild that year?? It didn't feel mild, but I've definitely had it be just as bad in Vancouver.

PLUS THERE'S A GIANT MUSHROOM FOUNTAIN!! The giant mushroom fountain is amazzzziinnnggg. hhahaha. So much fun to play in.

I love Tennessee.. I would go back a million times to visit. Nicest people I've ever met.

Bonnaroo '08 was my first festival ever and it was amazing!! Glad to see some Roo love!!!

hahaha.. sweet tea.
All we have in Canada is sweet tea.
The first time I ordered an iced tea in the States and literally got tea that was iced, I was so confused..

Bonnaroo & Waka were both too hot last year. People died of heat exhaustion at both.. Honestly if you think Bonnaroo is unbearable on a hot year.. Never & I repeat Never go to Wakarusa..

I'll be hitting up both again this year.. My Lemonade expenses will be astronomical.. And ass never swampier.. Bring it on!

Tea is pretty fucking awesome no matter which way it comes.

What would iced tea be if not tea with ice?

My issue with Tennessee was that everything was fried. I have not been to Bonnaroo but I went there on a business trip for a week. I had some awesome food but by the end of the week I had put on like five or ten pounds. There was pork fat in a piece of cornbread I tried to eat. That was gross. The sweet tea was a bit sweet for me so I always asked for a bunch of lemon to squeeze in and then it was ok.

Tea with ice in it? Heck yes, that's the way we do in the south. All the sugar and ice you can stomach!

This may be an unpopular opinion, but... I hate tea.
