I had a ticket but had to bail out at the last minute. I just bought a new car and haven't gotten used to the payments yet. I don't want to play catch up for the next couple months. It'd probably would've been worth it though.

The biggest disappointment for me was Oysterhead, the sound was fucking crap, they really put like no effort into making that shit sound good and trey was a fucking mess half the time, he was playing sloppily, i mean towards the end it was really good. Army on ecstacy was the shit. but overall i expected a lot more and trey single handedly fucked it up for me.
Overall the weeked was really great. I met 4 or 5 shroomerites and one of my biggest regrets of the weekend was not hanigng out with them more.
Oysterhead let me down as well.But Les made up for it saturday by with skerik and gabby.That was a badass show.During David Makalaster he went into southbound pachyderm and then backinto David Makalaster.Woo
It is horrible that there were thinks going on like people stealing stuff from campsites.I dont understand why people want something they cant have so bad that they resort to taking it from another person.

I found a camp site where people had one of those octopi on top of their shade tent. I went up to them and asked if they were from the Shroomery and they said no.
I should have taken down Blissed's cell phone number.

i was standing kinda far back and to the right a little but i stood mor or less the same spot for all of the people performing on the main stage, beck and radiohead and tom petty and lesh and even moe sounded 100 times better just in sound then oysterhead did. i couldn't even hear Les Claypool's voice or bass at a lot of the time. Whatever though, i expected more, it didn't meet my expectations but it was still cool to see the three of those people on stage.

yea like i said, it was really Trey who let me down. Les Claypool is a badass mother fucker! i was so happy to see him and buckethead on stage together at Waka. I really gained so much more respect for les Claypool after seeing him live.

I had a great time this year. My girlfriend and I just left the schedule in our tent most of the time, and wandered around the campsites, caught shows in the smaller tents. We did no drugs except for a few beers and the odd hit here or there if someone passed us a bowl. We caught some great unexpected shows this way, and were able to stay up for the late night shows because we weren't all burnt out by midnight.
We took lots of pictures and I'll post em once we get them developed.
Umphrees / Disco Biscuits set was amazing. They covered Baby You're a Rich Man by the Beatles into Another Brick in the Wall part 3, into the last two songs of Dark Side of the Moon. So good!
Trey & Mike Gordon's show was a lot of fun. Some of their new songs are a little weak imo, but there were a lot of great moments, and it was great to see them interacting on stage and hear some classic trey guitar work. Phil Lesh came out and sang Casey Jones, which is always great.
The last night was Phil Lesh & Friends, and it was the greatest part of the weekend for me. I raged through the rain and danced like a maniac for hours, stone sober. All I needed was that music!
I didn't like Radiohead at all. We stayed about an hour and that was all we could take.

wow... i agreed with everything you said until i read the radiohead part. I mean I've seen better radiohead shows before but it was still a good solid dose of them and they sounded decadent in my opinion. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
Phil lesh was probably the happiest i felt out of wakarusa and bonnaroo though. that show was stellar.

I had my best Roo' yet, paced myself, got enough sleep, water and didn't consume more drugs than I could handle. In fact I only smoked maybe three bowls while at Bonnaroo. I got to see almost every show that I wanted to see except Bela and superjam, but I will catch the Duo with Trey and Gordo at 10K. I met a few shroomerites such as anewwaytosayhooray(?) Yoschie, Psilocybe and Gillete. My two favorite shows were Radiohead and Phil and Friends, jesus christ that show was EPIC for me. Here's some pics, more to come....peace.

My highlights were the Disco Biscuits and Phil Lesh. I danced nearly nonstop for both. I also got to know a girl from my state and met up with some Nookers for the first time.
I got tons of pictures and had wonderful conversations. The best four days of my life so far.

Such is the attitude towards these festies. It's fueled by society's tabbooing of the whole culture. It helps people feel like they're "cool". I'm cool and I consumed drugs, but I was there for the comraderie and music. Whatever though, right?

Damn, that's crazy that some of y'all were mostly sober. Not to knock sobriety, but there's just something about taking drugs along with tens of thousands of other happy, music-loving, dancing drug-taking fools. I personally ate acid Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; partook in a roll for the triple hip-hop threat on Friday, and smoked a couple blunts and countless bowls throughout the weekend. On Monday before we left I took several minutes to puff a blunt standing on the street corner, just because I could! No paranoia (the only authority figures are 15 feet tall ) and acceptance of personal choice is a great environment to do drugs in, not to mention the abundance of great live music. Plus you can find some real interesting folks and have some far-out conversations, just by smiling and dancing in the crowd. I was high all weekend, not ever too high, but very high!
