It's inspirational to me to see people 20+ years older than me at Bonnaroo having a great time. Every year on Sunday I think to myself "am I going to be able to keep this up many more years", because besides being the best weekend of the year, Bonnaroo is one of the more strenuous. After 2 nights of all night music, not to mention inability to sleep past 8 am for 3 days due to the sun, plus the 90+ degree heat, I always think to myself "I don't know if I can keep this up." But then I see people many years older than myself and I think "I will come here forever."
Man you hit the nail on the head - every year on MONDAY I say to myself THAT was brutal and how the hell am I going to keep this up. I think the only concession I make is the KOA - although I have lived the dream in the public camping area !
Every year I bounce back - I think its fear - fear of missing something spectacular - Particle Starting at 4 AM; Robert Randolph playig to the choir TIL 4l how bout the Flaming Lilps OR the monstrous downpour before The Dead; Running between Umphreys/Disco and MMJ and Freakin super jam last year; big upsets with Amadue and Mirum; Seau George; or heck a few years back MMJ - every minute of every day there is something I can't miss.....
I admit I am recked when I get home but to paraphrase Tom Petty - I aint backin down
I am 43, and i admit.. i cheat and do the VIP/hotel deal.... too old to rough it, but still young enough to party like a rock star! Bonnaroo is my happy place!

There is a huge fault in this survey, if you happen to be 18,25,30,40,or50. which button do you choose? Like if Im 25, I can choose 18-25 button or 25-30 button. Lets just say to make myself feel younger I choose the 18-25 button.

Hey - there's no shame in that. If my traveling partner had agreed, I might be in a hotel, too! That said, I'm up for an adventure.

I am 32 and will be 33 a few days after I get back. I feel better now than when I was 22. Bonnaroo is a place where I forget my age, problems, bills, work, and sometimes my NAME! HA...I can't waitttttttt!!

I did that on purpose, to add a little choice to the survey.

I'm 19 (20 in march) but I've been going down for the past two years with a group of my friends (1 is 21 1 is 20 and the other is only gonna be 19) but we also go down with my hippie of a father (who is 41) and as of last year my crazy ass mom (who is 41) has picked up on the tradition. It may seem weird to travel with my parents but honestly I don't think it would be any more fun if I didn't.
