So we tried washing off at one of the wash stations this morning, but were stopped and told we could not use shampoo at the wash station. She said we need to go pay for a shower. I've been to 4 Roos now, and never had this problem before. Is this a new rule? My Bonnaroo fanboy-ism is slowly waning.

The real question is why are you shampooing your hair at bonnaroo?
I would have actually liked to have seen people being turned away from taking full on showers in the wash troughs. I standing in line for 20 minutes to brush my teeth and wash my face and hands while you are conditioning your hair and washing your armpits.

i saw some sign up about "this is not a bathtub" ok my whole body isnt in it. they are not going to force me to pay for a shower when they are supplying water. i am really fast at the wash stations and i dont wash my hair , however, there are lull times at the wash stations. if you want to avoid the lines go early morning or mid afternoon or late night. you will be in and out in a whoosh!! i did wet my hair in a lull time on saturday - had it all to myself. i like to wash my hands, arms neck and face throughout the day. it takes about the same time as doing teeth etc.
if they are gonna have those sinks (and i kinda thing they have to at this point) they cant do anything about people washing in a wash station sink.
but i do agree about people hogging them. be in and outa there if there is a line....come back later if you need to do more. if people had common sense they wouldnt have to have rules like that

Dont think its that new. Just depends on who is working near the watch station at that time. Ive seen people told in the past to not go crazy with washing. This weekend i saw a girl washing her body then shampoo her hair, rinse, condition her hair, rinse.....and a girl in front of me said "arent we not supposed to wash our hair in here?". Also that girl had a friend with her who was hogging her own faucet but was done washing. She was waiting for her friend and just standing there.
I think the easiest thing would be bring a bucket or something and fill it up.....or just go to a wash station with cooler vplunteers lol.
I always clean up at the wash stations. I have every year. This year some kid tried to tell me not to. I laughed because I thought he was joking.then I went in and washed up. I guess he wasn't joking.
I think you just got unlucky. Ive washed my hair in previous years but only take a minute. You probably got a volunteer on a power trip.
We were doing our normal Morning Roo routine which involves filling up camel packs and Lady Funk washing her hair. There was absolutely no one waiting and as soon as Lady Funk got out the shampoo, the volunteer guy ran up and said he would cut off her bracelet if she washed her hair there.

I always take essentially a full bath in the troughs early on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. I saw the no bathing signs, and have seen the signs in past years. There was never anyone around regulating the troughs for me, but had I been told to stop, I would have told that person to stuff it.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

Pod 8, they said no bathing in sinks, but had a garden hose ran out back with plastic on the ground. Had a sign to use that for bathing. I did a full shower in my swimming trunks and flip flops using the hose, no drama.

No wonder I thought you were a hottie I've never showered either. I've never actually ventured into the wash stands either. I just get done what I need to get done at the camp site.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
YEah, i was in pod 9, and we had no issues "bathing" in the sinks. It's a courtesy thing really. Me and a girlfriend would pop in there, use one sink together with cups so we could fill them, douse, soap and douse. Done. We looked in the back and didnt even see a hose. So we tried to hurry. Meanwhile, I did see a girl washing her dishes. And y'all, not like, 4 forks and a couple plates. She had a STACK of cooking stuff. A wok, a pan, no less than 10-15 plates, bowls and about a jillion eating utensils... Crazy. Two girls completely soaped up, shampooed (no conditioner, it's roo, people) and rinsed off and she was still doing her dishes.
I think it's simply about being courteous to the fact that there's a line of others waiting to clean themselves too.

I didn't shower the entire weekend baby wipes and gold bond work wonders!
Amen, and jumping in the fountain
I was surprised by how cold the fountain was as well as all other water sources on the farm. If I felt too hot, I just walked in the fountain for a minute and it cooled me off instantly the drinking water was nice and cold, too.
We brought a wagon with a cooler, 7 gal aquatainer, 7 gal bucket, 5 gal bucket a 2 gal drink container and a couple camelbacks to the sink trough on west 2nd and 9th. I pulled the wagon next to the last sink, not even in the trough and hooked up a hose on the last sink to fill our water right in the wagon (the larger buckets and cooler were being filled for fresh water in the RV). We were told about halfway through that hoses are not allowed to be used. The guy said he would let us finish, but not to bring back hose. It reminded me of that rapper dude that interrupted the awards show cause he is a friggin crybaby and he didn't get his way "I'mma let you finish, but I just wanna say something something something something dark side"

hahaha anyone ever take an IQ test????????
Fill the five gallon bucket three times. Dump it once in each of the seven gallon containers, and fill it up once more. Easy.

All the while, there's a girl in a bikini right behind us with a hose, basically taking a shower. Pretty sure the guy never said anything to her. Next time we needed water, we just sent two different people from our group so they could "play dumb" if anyone said anything.
Oh, and then there was the law-abiding citizen attempting to fill up a 7 gallon aquatainer by using a 20oz bottle. I can't imagine how long that task took to accomplish and how much of the water cop's precious water was wasted in the process.

When Phi and I went to fill up we went to the back side, like Mike said to do, and no one was really paying attention. Plenty of people were taking hand showers there and if I ever went back to tent only or car camping I'd bring a hose and just take a shower.

i just bought one of these from dicks sporting goods... it worked wonders this year and i didn't even have to leave my camp to do it, except once to fill it up again on friday after filling it up on tuesday...
