The 37 people you meet at Bonnaroo
If you describe Bonnaroo to anyone who hasn’t been there themselves, it invariably sounds like hell. For four days, 90,000 people from all over gather in a 10,000-person town where, by mid-June, the temperature is regularly hitting 90 degrees. There, they pitch campsites that, by morning light, become sweat lodges. There are no toilets. It costs about $7 to shower. If you want to go to bed before 4 so you’re ready to rise with the sun at 6, you should prepare yourself to feel Skrillex pulsing through the campgrounds and down your spinal column like a stampede of buffalo who’ve just dosed on MDMA.
If you speak to most anyone who’s been to Bonnaroo, though, you’ll hear those same exact things in a positive light. These are not delusional people (for the most part). They just genuinely love Bonnaroo. That’s because in the abstract, Bonnaroo is a nightmare. In reality, it’s saved by its audience and the stories they bring to the farm (and it’s still kind of a nightmare). These are the people you meet at Bonnaroo.
