Could I survive Bonnaroo?

We probably can't go anyway. It'll be something like 3 and a half weeks after we've moved.
But I am dying to go, some of my *favorite* bands will be there.
I am old but I still like festival concerts, we went to the Voodoo Experience last fall which was fine.
Actually, out of all the many concerts I've been to, the worst one for obnoxious people and substance abuse was Jimmy Buffet.
So tell me, how is Bonnaroo and what are the best survival techniques?

I went two years ago when Tom Petty headlined. Big mistake. I was absolutely miserable the whole time. If I was still in my 20's, it would be great. But alas, I am not. It's just too much.
 
I went four years ago. Great line-up of bands. It was perhaps the worst experience in my life. What a miserable place to be. 100,000 plus, crazy heat with no shade in sight. Rain came with cold weather. We looked like cattle walking from stage to stage in knee deep mud, barefoot, because shoes would get sucked in. Not a sober person in site. Watched the last show, Trey A., standing in the cold rain in 6 inches of mud. Looking around, I'd say that we weren't the only miserable one. I'd say it is definitely one of the biggest drug parties in the US. Anything you want, just walk down drug row, an entire little village of tents in the parking lot. Bonnarroo was my last festival. It just turned me off from ever doing anything like that again.

My two cents is to use the money which you would have spent on tickets, to buy some CDs of the bands who are playing the event. Take those CDs and play them while sitting somewhere nice, like an open park.
 
Cil...if you thought Buffett was bad...go ahead and make your plans for Bonnarroo and report back to us!
 
:creepy: ...step away from the BOOaroo, Cil.
