Bonnaroo 2007 Countdown
For those who don’t know, Bonnaroo is the biggest music festival on the planet. It occurs in a rural Tennessee field each June. I have attended the last two personally and I can say without hesitation, it’s not for everyone. But I can also say it is an awesome 4 days of music, camping, and is a great escape from the reality of normal life. Today is the 1 month mark before the big concert!
For me the Bonnaroo prep begins a month early. My wife and I start buying extra stuff at the grocery like big jugs of water, zip locks, camping food, etc. We print out our Gear List and start checking items off. As with many trips, it’s almost as fun to plan the trip as it is to actually go.
Bonnaroo hosts around 100,000 fans of varying musical taste. The artists range from bluegrass to funk to hip hop to hard rock to hippy throwback music. It’s a great way to expose yourself to a variety of genres while camping in a field for 3 nights with your buddies. There are also other activities such as a comedy tent. This year Louis Black, Dave Attell, and David Cross will be there cracking our ribs. I’m excited about David Cross since he played Tobias on one of the smartest comedies ever on TV, Arrested Development.
This year’s music line up includes some of my favs, here are the ones I’m looking forward to most…
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
and for my wife… The Police
So, good luck in your Bonnaroo preparations, be safe, and if you’re not going… sorry.
