Well, I'll have an enormous bright blue hat on, and I might put a hipforums patch on my bag or something. If you see me, just yell "Happy" and tell me who you are.. or Hannah. I might respond to that better. Or HappyHahaHannah. Whatever. We're leaving at like 4 tomorrow. Woot.....

 

Hannah, watch for me! I'll be the one walking around looking like me.

 

im so excited!!! im heading over to my friends in about an hour, then all 5 of our cars are heading to roo! cant wait.

 

Bonnaroo was totally rad!!!!!!

 

I agree, Roo was alot better than I expected it to be. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits, the weather was really great, except for that few hours when it was raining kinda hard. RatDog and Allman Brothers played some fucking great sets, The Word was incredible, and Widespread played damn good shows.

 

Oh yeah and I'm pretty sure I saw olhippie at the Widespread show last night.

 

Man what an amazing time!! I think this was the best Roo so far, aside from so many people getting busted. Everyone is going too be scared to come if they keep that shit up. It's all about the money anyway. They could care less about who's doing what drug.
My favorites were The Crowes, DMB, Allman Bros., The Word..(O M F G), Mars Volta, and Particle. It was all really good. I'm in complete culture shock at work today..lol Did anybody happen to see the guy in the diaper? Now THAT is something I'll never forget. I hope everyone else had as good a time as I did. The vibes were great this year..you just can't meet a better group of people anywhere. Everyone I came across was so friendly. I saw Olhippie too...it was cool meeting ya man!
I'm just sad it's over..

 

Does anyone know where I can download some of the shows from this weekend? Are they available yet? Where do you think the best place to find and download shows is from?

 

great time! i thought kings of leon, j5, crowes, widespread were awesome!

 

I LOVE BONNAROO-
Everything that you wanted was there, every body was so friendly I only came across two assholes everyone was so nice though, the people of Manchester were incredibly nice and so were most of the cops, security was so low they didn't even check cars going through on wed. so every one brought there "stuff" in successfully, the only time i saw people getting searched was when people waited in line before the gates opened.
-i definetly saw you ol hippie but, was to out of it to say somthin
-The shows were awsome StS9 played from 1:30 till sunrise
-keller was amazing and so was yonder
-Herbie hancock is a God
-Trey was slow in the beggining but picked up at the end
-DJ krush can scratch those boards
-The Word Lifted my Soul
-How bout' the Allmans with the cover of the dew
Everything from vendors and certain people were so cheap-
-The rain didn't even bring me down

 

I saw you twice... the first time I was too fucked up to get my mind straight to speak... the second time was right outside of the sonic forest... I was sober enough to introduce myself, but I seemed to freak you out... sorry if I did, just wanted to say Hi.

 

LOL!!! You didn't. I reckon I'm just weird. About 4 or 5 came up to me from this site. I enjoy meeting people from the room, but I always seem to be at a loss for words when I do.

 

I had a great time. it was my first year and I will go back again if the right bands are playing my fav. was DMB. They rocked the house!!

 

I feel the same damn way about myself... my wife thought I was nuts... I couldn't quite explain where I knew you from. I said "that's olhippie from hipforums". She had no idea what the hell I was saying, and I just didn't have the energy to explain. Anyway... glad to have met you.

 

What other bands did you see?

 

Widespread was good but the second night was amazing, Sound Tribe rocked it til the sun came up, The Gourds blew me away with the extended Gin and Juice cover, Keller also stepped up with a sweet gin and juice cover, gov't mule YES, and the sonic forest was rad

 

how was ratdog??? anyone?!

 

bonnaroo was fucking awesome! except for a minor cop bust for beer on the way in (if you were heading from chattanooga and saw 5 kids, a van, and 5 cop cars that was us... didn't know it was illegal to not wear your seatbelt... but we made it off with a ticket and got a kick ass spot in Darth Vader (i think we still weren't sure leaving)
*Thursday*
Les.. hmm i'll leave that to everyone else... that was whack ass shit.. he was definately shadowed...
*Friday*
Allman's tore it up..
Bela Fleck was really awesome nice jamming...
Dave was alright, would have been better had this girl not passed out on our blanket and my shoes and start having convulsions to the point we had to get the medics... it may have been a tiny bit better..after that we couldn't make any late night shows.. we were sketched out on that note...
*Saturday*
Gov't Mule was awesome! they totally jammed out...
Yonder Mountain funked it up but only stayed for a little bit
The Black Crowes were goood but left early for
Jack Johnson, who i just had to see cause my girlfriends and i liked him from back in the day, left that and headed to
Keller who, except for the rain kicked ass.. and what would my Saturday night be without
WIDESPREAD PANIC... who jammed the hell out with Gov't Mule they played some damn awesome "Hatfield" and an awesome cover of "Come Together"
but made it an early night cause i was feeling sick as hell..
*SUNDAY* all around best day..
didn't wake up until noon-ish i guess that's what the guy at the sinks said...
Bob Weir and Ratdog was totally kick ass
The Word rocked my world, holy shit (literally!) Robert Randolph tore it UP!! and that jammin guy with the washboard, damn he was awesome!
and what better way to end the festival than with another night of
Panic.. who played a kick ass "Arlene" and "City of Dreams" and my friend's fave "Jack" so she was all over the place with that.. and for Bob Weir, Robert Randolph and the rest of the word to come out and jam, WHAT A WAY TO END A KICK ASS WEEKEND! Bob Weir and Panic... and Robert Randolph!
After that 3 of us stayed up until daylight completely enjoying the hell out of ourselves getting some awesome stuff... all in all this year was awesome and i had a total blast.
