Bonnaroo: Yeah, It's Better Than Christmas

This is better than a game of Where's Waldo.

"The time has come," the walrus said...
90 degree weather. 95,000 people. 80,000 tents. Porta potties. 12 stages and tents. Camping. Mosquitoes and Chiggers. Thunderstorms. Swollen ankles. Over 200 musicians. And other things that shall remain nameless.


The previous statements all lead up to 4 days of pure magic, happiness, peace, and love.


B.O.N.N.A.R.O.O.

As I sit in my living room, glancing over my Roo schedule, for the 90th time, to make sure I have it absolutely and 100% right, I can't help but remember how I was feeling this time last year.
Last year was my first Bonnaroo experience. The day before I departed for this magical weekend, I was sick and actually didn't care if I ended up going or not. Thankfully, I pushed that devil off my shoulder and followed what the Bonnaroo angel said to me. This weekend was hands down THE BEST weekend of my life. Besides my sorority sisters, I live for music and it is my one and only true love. Leaving the camping grounds of the Manchester farm, I couldn't help but feel sad even though I had experienced the most epic 4 days of my life. I was sad because I had to wait an entire year until I could feel the joy that Bonnaroo gave to me. Nothing can top seeing 30 concerts in 4 days, while experiencing it with 80,000 other music lovers who are just as passionate about sweet, sweet tunes as I am.
Finally, after 365 days of patiently waiting, Bonnaroo is back. See ya on the flipside kids.


Welcome to the gates of Bonnaroo. Some say they're more lovely than the gates of Heaven.

The above link is my Bonnaroo schedule. It is for your viewing pleasure. Warning: This link is not intended for those who experience extreme jealousy or who become easily jealous. 29 amazing artists and shows will be seen by Ashley in only 4 days. Proceed with caution. But it is okay to feel a bit envious of her awesome weekend.
