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!

That'd be crazy. On the last two years there's been a big rainstorm either on Wednesday or Thursday which wet the grounds down and really stopped it from being so dusty.

It was freaking unbelievable. I actually feared for my life Friday due to asthma. I'm still a little worried about chemical pneumonia, we'll see. On the plus side, I did McGuyver my own mist tent! Really wanted to stay thru tonite but I just couldn't. I saw one water drop--ONE. I was on the corner of 1st and 2nd in Pod 2... No reason at all they couldnt've done more.
Some guy sitting next to me & TickTrix on the Which Stage bleachers the other nite was wearing a surgical mask. No lie. if i'd known then how miserable I'd feel by now on Sunday afternoon, I totally would've stolen that thing!

After 07, I've brought surgical masks every year. Before that, I didn't think it would get that dusty. Just one of those things many people don't think of.
For all of you that just got home and whose nasal cavities are filled with dust:
A saline sinus rinse or neti pot could be your new best friend right now.
The dust was horrible. I left early because I was having breathing problems. I wasn't in 2007 and so I can't make a comparison, but it seemed that there was a lack of grass to hold the dust down (just seemed like less dust this year)...and some areas could have been covered with gravel or mulch.
This was absolutely on par with 2007, and depending on the area of the grounds in question, even worse. The ground around the tents was already in bad shape by Sat afternoon and the late nights, with all of the dancing and tomfoolery, turned the earth into powder. I couldn't stay at Cold War Kids for more than a couple of songs. The wind had picked up a bit and the vicinitiy of the tent was just a wall of blowing dust. I'm pretty hardy and I have endured some really harsh stuff at Roo, but that was unbearable. I hung out at What all day because the dust wasn't nearly as bad.

I wasn't in '07, but the dust was pretty terrible this year. I cleaned some terrible, terrible things out of my nose this weekend. I almost got used to walking around with the feeling of grit in my mouth.

If you come with stuff to cover your face, dustaroos can be sort of fun. Dust devils flying around everywhere and because of the dust people will write interesting things on your car. My buddy's car had roughly 12 penises drawn on his car by the end of the weekend.
I will always refer to it as the "Great Bonnaroo Dust Bowl." It was like the Grapes of Wrath on Sunday. I had trouble even seeing the stage for Cold War kids.
Good call on the White Stripes in 07. That's the worse I've seen it. There were areas this year that were pretty bad, but a lot of the grounds were fine. (The What).
The dust at White Stripes in 2007 was brutal. The whole weekend it was brutal that year. I saw someone wearing a disposable painters mask in front of the Brooers tent at the White Stripes. I offered to buy him two beers if he had another one-he opened his backpack up and had a bunch of brand new ones in there-bought him two beers. By that point my lungs were already torched. One of my friends from BC ended up in the hospital after she got home the next week.
Yeah the dust was pretty rough. Our car was parked right on 2nd Ave, so every time a taxi passed, a huge cloud of dust kicked up into our tent. But I agree, the dust for CWK and Explosions in the Sky on Sunday were the worst. During EITS, I got so much dust on my contacts that I had to just shut my eyes for about 10 minutes to get my tears to clear everything up. We ended up just leaving. For most of CWS, we just sat downwind of the fountain and had no problems. Wish I'd had that idea sooner!
