Assistant to the Head Coach
I'm going this year. A check off the ol' bucket list. I'm really excited. Camping out the whole time. Any of you ever been?

Pretty good lineup..
Elton John
Kanye West (not a fan, but I'll watch because I'm sure it'll be a good time)
Jack White
Mastodon
The Glitch Mob
Meshuggah
City and Colour
The Wood Brothers

Just a handful I'm excited for.
 
- Hydrate or you'll die. Not joking. It's going to be hot as fuck.
- No glass allowed.
- Be personable. Expect people, especially your camp site neighbors, to just walk up and talk you.
- Reconsider going if you're highly susceptible to the smells of piss, weed, and unshowered hippies.
- Cops will be crawling all over the state looking to ticket/arrest festival goers, particularly in and around Manchester. Don't give them a reason.
- For recreational drug users, Bonnaroo will seem like a black market Costco in a field. You will likely witness more psychedelic and psychoactive drug use than you've ever hoped to see. Do not be afraid.

By the end of my first Roo, I felt like I survived a great experience. You'll have fun.

The first thing you should pack needs to be a Camelback. Seriously, this is the best thing you can buy. Second would be a wide brim hat to keep the sun off your noggin. As the poster above mentioned, hydrate like a mad man. In fact I seriously would do this in earnest starting one week out. Get your body really well hydrated before going, it will make a big difference.

Its always bullet point 4 that gets me. Well, the weed I don't mind.

Yeah, the heat is my biggest concern. I'm around hippies all the time and I'm not bothered by them or their smell(s), and that also means I'm relatively used to people on drugs. Haha

Thanks for mentioning the glass thing though. Wouldn't even have thought about it.

I went and had a successful Bonnaroo. I'll be back. The weather was perfect, our campsite was beside a tree and only 100 yards away from a water station. We were parked right on the road. Basically had the best camp site of all time.

Elton John was awesome. Really, everyone was with the exception of Kanye. He had "fuck Kanye" chants going at his own concert. We left after he wouldn't shut up about dumb shit.

Oddly enough I was sober most of the time. It was easier to get hard drugs than weed. I didn't do hard drugs.. But they were readily available.
