Bonnaroo was the festival for me for a number of years. I always felt it was a musical heaven on earth. Loved every second I was there until 2011. The bands always put on the best shows at Bonnaroo, the people are great and there is a buzzing excitement in the air. I think our group's ability to always make a bunch of friends and always get a camping spot right by the gate (every single time! We know the Secret), and spending a week before in Nashville/Memphis before each 'Roo getting totally silly and ready for the fest made a huge difference. Not sure what happened between then and 2011, but Sasquatch is now the festival for me. Bonnaroo is still a magical place for me, but I think I'm just straight up old now or something.
For me it has been more like, moving on. I can 100% see how Burrito and Goldbeard loved that thing to pieces. Glad you loved it guys! BONNAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

To be fair, I was also in combat for a year in Afghanistan. So I've had pretty rough times and for me Bonnaroo, even last year, was a walk in the park when it came to heat, the suck and the dust. I love Sasquatch to death, but I feel that some of my antics that I get up to at Bonnaroo would land me on a jail cell at Sasquatch.

I feel like if I did Bonnaroo again, I would be a lot more prepared and I would enjoy it a lot more.
I went in 2010, and it was my first festival and I made a lot of mistakes: No canopy, got hammered drunk during the day, didn't do drugs, went with a girl when our relationship was on it's last legs, didn't get any sleep on the Wednesday night because I was drinking at the wal-mart, saw a bunch of main stage shows during the day, etc.
Plus I was completely unprepared for how debilitating that heat was. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before.
Also, I know people like to make jokes about the crowd at Coachella, but the crowd at Bonnaroo was my nightmare. There's only so many drum circles and patchuli oil I can take over the span of a weekend.
I would like to give Bonnaroo another shot, but the lineup would have to be pretty damn amazing for me to go.

The oddest part of this year was that not a single drum circle or or waft patchulli did I find. I don't know if Burrito, Phil, Nadine or anyone else saw one. I was quite shocked. Last year I participated in a 2 hour long drum circle.

Last year I participated in a 2 hour long drum circle. There were definitely patchouli circles all up ins. But really I just wanted to poop this thread because fucking Bonnaroo.
