Driving past the farm this morning I noticed that 2 large tents have been set up. These are the crew tents for people setting up the site. In addition, they are mowing the fields as I type this.
For the past month there has been a line of office trailers, lined up just inside the gate, today, I noticed that those trailers are being dispersed around the grounds.
This is it guys, they are officially in set up mode.
I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow as it it gloomy and chilly outside today.
Edit: This is going to be kinda big, I took a bunch of pics this morning, Im not going to post them all, but what these are is going through the roo area entering from like exit 111 down bushy branch, all the way through to BFE at the corner of Bushy branch and Shedd.
Sorry about the size, I didnt have my camera with zoom this morning.
Updated pics from 5-20-08 That Tent being constructed
You can see the graffiti fence being buit here
And here
More pics, what the heck is that on the right?
RRRRROOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Thats it for now. You can see the prgress they have made. The first set of pics were taken Saturday, The second set was taken yesterday evening (Tuesday).
Ok, new set of pics that I took yesterday afternoon. There are some interesting things in this batch.
These two pics were taken from the interstate overpass just up from exit 112. You can not see this side of the farm from Bushy Branch road. As you can see in this pic, there is the comedy tent going up.
And all the steel coming in for the main stage.
I think this is "The Other Tent" going up.
Behind the "That Tent" some kind of wooden structure being built.
All these lovely "No Parking" signs have been attached to the fence about every 20 feet.
A wide view showing the progress so far
"This Tent" and the fountain.
These have been placed at all the entry points.
Vendors are already showing up.
I also noticed on Monday that we already have a small band of hippies living at the Wal Mart parking lot.
OK here we go folks, big differences between this week and last.
First up, a couple of pics of the "Watchtower"
Portos and the arch
How about the tower "towering" above the trees
Now, moving right to left across the main field...
Across the street from the main field
Gates at the entrance going up
Putting up the fences
STAY OFF MR HOLLANDS PROPERTY!!!!!!

Instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax; thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.
Dont know about the hill or seating. It isnt something you can see from the road.
Its always pretty exciting when set up rolls around. Its pretty sleepy out here where we live, but it always gets really busy this time of year.
Its cool to get to see the set up as it happens. Ill get some pics tomorrow. It aint much right now, but I am going to try to photograph as much of the progression as I can, form now until its here.

Dude, I seriously can't concentrate on anything but bonnaroo right now. . .It's to the point where I'm poking myself in the eye with foreign objects. . . I think I just need to be sedated until Tuesday. . . . Dystopian Dream
if i lived as close as you do, i would think that watching the setup process could actually be more exciting than attending the festival itself, if only because the setup process is a long and drawn-out buildup of anticipation and excitement whereas the festival is over so fast its almost like you barely have time to do anything but try and take in as much as possible.
personally,i know i love when you start putting up pics of the process
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

I looked last weekend when I had an opportunity to drive by the site, but I couldn't see any set-up from I-24. There were lots of lovey red flowers by exit 114 I noticed. I hope they are still there in June.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Holy sh*t ... what a ride!"
The info i got was from the wife of the coffee co investigator that works with AC/Superfly coordinating the law enforcement.......That mound she said was put where the bleachers were so I'd assume its VIP seating

Well I can tell you this, if they did do this, they did it without anyone around here knowing about it. I havent seen any earth moving equipment or anything that resemble bleachers coming in.

I'm glad to see it's bush hogged already. That will give the sun and rain a little time to do it's thing. One more mowing around the first of June and we'll be in good shape!
