It was my understanding that charcoal was allowed...But as we arrived through the gate they confiscated our charcoal saying it was no longer allowed in the camping area...BUT....you go to the general store and they will sell it to you...WTF? Maybe next year they will confiscate tents and then sell them back to you ...
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
OMG they pissed me off so bad at security this year. first two days I load up my backpack with gatorade and no one says a word when they look at it. then saturday the dude looks in my bag, snatches it up, then immediately pours them out. i totally fucking freaked out on him and hes like "sorry bro no gatorade only water". i told him i would have rather chugged it than have him pour it out, and told him how big of a fucking asshole douchebag he was. the head security dude (bald guy) stepped up and got all pissy and i didnt want to be rejected entrance so i just said "whatever, im over it" and they let me in.
THEN on Sunday they fucking wouldnt let me bring my chair in because it was 3 FUCKING INCHES higher than what they allow. said 12 inches off the ground was the max. so fucking pissed AGAIN. so i had to leave the chair at the gates only to walk around centeroo all day seeing thousands of chairs just as high or higher than mine. when i went back before dave to get it on my way out i had a talk with one of the security dudes who gave it back to me and hes like "yea man it just depends on which security guy you get and who feels like being a bigger asshole that day" WHAT! FUCK YOU! ugh im so pissed im done ranting lol
My friend in front of me was getting his car searched on Wednesday night and they took one of his two bags of charcoal and told him it wasn't allowed. But left the other bag??
And I was also not let into Centeroo because of my chair being too tall on Sunday...my chair isn't even tall it folds out with a foot prop and it's kickass! I was pretty upset as well
as i entered the gates thursday morning they took my cheap charcoal because he said it wasn't allowed. But he also let me keep my good bag of kingsford charcoal. makes no sense
Consistency wouldn't be a bad thing at Roo. Make the rules, communicate them, then we try to break them. I can handle getting stuff taken from me if I am knowingly breaking rules but the lack of consistency makes it tough.
Communication and consistency would be two of my suggestions to David McBonnaroo
My wife on her scooter headed into Dave had two tall boys in her purse. The security person found them and then smiled at her and said "you're good!" and off we went. Thursday I noticed they were freaking out about bags so I took two cans out of my backpack and put them in my cargo pockets. Bag was thoroughly searched. I wasn't. Go figure. Oh, and nothing was said about our charcoal.

Our friends were in front of us in line and also had their charcoal taken and were told no charcoal grills would be allowed. As they brought practically nothing but meat, they were fretting until we smelled others' grills later on that night. I guess if they are on the list of no-no's that's one thing, but we couldn't find that anywhere. I thought they were going to freak out when they saw them selling it at the general store. I agree that there needs to be consistency.

It also says no umbrellas and EVERYONE had umbrellas even the big ones that go in the middle of pato tables. I saw people with full size chairs that collapse we had those at camp. We just brought a blanket to sit but my butt/legs would go numb. I did get more sleep under those trees than I thought.
