Is there anyone like me who isn't going to Bonnaroo??? I would feel so much better if there was someone I could relate to about this! I feel like shit!
----sorry, i'm going to bonnaroo toooooo!! but hey, where in maryland are you from?? ive been offered a job on this beach in ocean city maryland and i have no idea what that is like --- would that be a cool place to spend my summer?? -- eric
i live in elkridge, md.. about 15 minutes outside of baltimore. ocean city would definitely be a fun place to spend your summer, i would do that if i could whats the job offer for? -melody
i'm about to spend my money on tickets and just go even though i quit my job so that i can stay home with my baby. they have tickets on ebay but im going to the beach all next week and we are leaving saturday if i buy tickets i will have no money for the beach, ill just get my man to pay for everything. ahhhhh this post probably makes no sense.
the job offer for ocean city is to be a beach photographer I would just have to walk up and down the beach and talk to people and see if anyone wants family portraits or anything - sounds like not too bad of a job to me, but I cant decide to slave in the motor factory like last summer, and stay here with my friends, OR go and live on the beach all summer but miss all my friends!!!
your friends will still be there when you get back! plus you get a chance to meet a ton of different people, which i think would be awesome. go for it.
Wakarusa looks like its gonna be a whole lot funner than Bonnaroo. Man I wish I had enough money to go to both. I guess it would be smarter for me to just ride 10 minutes down to Manchester, TN
I'm not going cuz I have some growing up to do I'm finally ready to start my journey towards a real career. I have to save my money for school. I think I want more than anyone to attend bonnaroo (Chris Robinson and the Dead for starters..). I am 27 now and believe it's a fine time to start my "real" adult life. If I don't start now, there will always be "just one more festival". I have a couple of tickets to see the Dead so it's not like I'm not going to see any music this summer. So ya... I'm with all the non Bonnaroo goers REALITY IS RELATIVE!!!
I am not going and I feel terrible about it.....but not as bad as I will feel on the 11th knowing that it is going on not far from my house. I think I would feel much better if it was out in Iowa somewhere.
I'm not going to Bonnaroo because well... I'm on the other side of the world, and... it would a little difficult for me to go there, to say the least. But I really wish I could go. I wanna see Ani D!!!
morningsong347, the reason I have a job and live in the real world is to make money for concerts and fests. You don't have to give up music to have a good job. You just have to plan your vacations better.
Oh, it's not like I don't intend to never attend a festival again!!!!!! I have two weeks for vacation this year. One is a completely relaxing week in the quiet hills of Vermont (which was planned in Jan). The other is a week of Dead shows. I can't take anymore time off because I'm saving money for school. When I found out the line up for Bonnaroo I was gung ho to go. Then I thought about it and knew the Dead were gonna release some dates for the summer. To me, stretching things out is way better than everything at once! That's why I chose a week of Dead shows instead of a weekend of Bonnaroo. Some might not agree with my choices but it works for me. I plan on becoming a guidance counselor because it's interesting and I get my summers off. So in a few years I won't have to decide between one or the other! Until then....
