Although I've never been to Bonnaroo, personally I've had it with those expensive corporate sponsored music festivals. Putting up with the hippies, drunk ass bro's, money spent on gas/food/water/tickets/booze/drugs just to see one of my favorite bands play on a tragically unintimate stage at 1:00 in the afternoon with 105 degree heat isn't all that fun for me. I like the nightlife at the tent cities better. Last year I went to Sasquatch in Washington and had fun but it was a big hassle. I got arrested (ditched 60$ worth of molly in the security gaurd van and they stole my sunglasses off my head), had a heat stroke, spent the little money I had, and on top of it contracted Giardia (sp?) from the shit tasting water they were passing off as potable. The cheapest pack of smokes you could but within 10 miles was almost 10$ a pack and 24 racks of PBR were going for like 30$ something.
