Are you going this year, Kate? We should try to set up camp near one another.

Julie said...

Yep. I am definitely going back. It was great fun and I get to do it for work, so even better.

This year I will make a few adjustments based on what I learned last year, however.

what are Katie's pointers for Bonnaroo?

Julie said...

OK, well, here are my tips. Some of these are things I and my compadres did (one of us had been the year before) and some are things learned the hard way.

-No cute shoes. Just suck it up and wear the ugly-ass tevas all weekend.

-Do not waste your money on a pedicure right before you go.

-Bring your own libations and plenty of them, including bottled water.

-Obtain press passes so you can camp in the much better area ;-)

-Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.

-Good raingear will save the event. This includes a truly waterproof tent. Ours was only semi-waterproof.

-Avoid the Mars Volta

-Make a plan in case you become separated from companion late at night ...or anytime. As in, if we get separated, meet back here at XX time.

-Bring enough food and drink to share with amiable and entertaining neighbors you might encounter.

-Take lots o' photos

-Be completely flexible about what shows you may or may not get to.

-Be sure to check out the smaller tent venues.

-Bring several chaise lounges in addition to chairs. You will feel like chaise loynging in them.

-Bug spray

-Lanterns

-Pineapple

I'lll add more as they occur to me.

Is it possible that G. Love and Donovan Frankenreiter can actually appear in one place without Jack Johnson? Isn't that like that one guy from WHAM appearing without George Michaels?
