Bonnaroo or Bust!

The goal of our trip is to have the best honeymoon possible.

That is why we decided to go to Bonnaroo in TN, after we leave James' house in NC.

"What is Bonnaroo?" you ask like an idiot.

4 of the best days ever. 80,000 happy campers. 700 Acres of Tennessee Nature. 150 epic performances. 10+ stages of music. Several dozen comedians. An escape into Excitement. Music. Art. Discoveries. Trees. Fresh Air. Green Grass. A mini film fest. Friends (Old / New). Adventure. Overwhelming happiness. Hugging a stranger by accident. Sharing and Generosity. Bonnaroovian Dancing. Hyperbolic verbiage. System overload. The perfect bite of ice cream. Sandals. Fallovers. Chirping Birds. Flashing Lights. Food and Drink. Variety. Singing. Laughing. Short shorts. High-Fives. Rocky IV in the cinema tent at 3am. Spicy Pie. Memories. Someone dressed up like Teen Wolf. Holy Cow(!) Moments. Interesting factoids. Egg sandwiches. More music. Adventure. Deep Breaths. Big smiles. This. That. The Other. Hellos and Goodbyes and reminders of all that we have to celebrate and look forward to next year and in the future.

We debated about doing this, because of the cost.  This part of the trip is going to be the most expensive part.  From what we have heard, it is going to be awesome!  Kim has never been to a festival like this, although, she has had one day passes to some in PA.

In 2006, I went to the Gathering of the Juggalos, which was a similar festival in terms of being in the middle of no where and being four days long.  I had a fantastic time and still look back thinking that it may have been one of the coolest things I have ever done.

This year at Bonnaroo, there are over 150 acts performing, more than thirty comedians, beer brewers tent, Adult Swim games and prizes (I'm looking forward to swinging on the giant dangling uvula), Bonnaroo Cinema (with 24 hour non-stop movie fest), Splash-A-Roo and the Big Ass Water Slide (what?), and camping, and hanging with friends...and so much more that you will need to visit the website to wrap your head around it.
A random photo I found online, but if this is
what to expect, call me excited!!!

Here is a list of groups we are excited to see:

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers! (Check it off the lifetime list)
  • Ben Folds FIVE! -Yes the BFF are making a brand new album and playing a few shows, this being one of them.  I never thought I would ever see them!!
