When is bonnaroo over

Just being there is enough to have a great time. The last Bonnaroo in had more things to see and do than I'd ever witnessed before, from multiple side stages throughout the campgrounds to a "neon forest" full of funky art, as well as hundreds of vendors and artisans spread all about.

Honestly, the most fun thing I came across wasn't any band or show, but a massive Pride Parade that traveled through the festival like something straight out of New Orleans. And for anyone who still thinks Bonnaroo is just one big hippie drug haven full of degenerates, there is even a Sunday church service you can attend, several charity outreach groups and many dedicated volunteers that make sure trash and recyclables are picked up every day.

For me, at 34, it's sometimes hard to find where I fit into Bonnaroo these days. Sure, those early years were some of the best summers of my life and still rank as some of the greatest shows I've seen.

But I've definitely aged out of much of the music featured nowadays. However, that's also why I love going all these years later, because it's a chance to learn about new artists and see what the kids are listening to. And you never know, you just might end up liking it.

But there's also the camping, the heat and the physical toll four days on The Farm can take on a person, compared to my early 20s, and doesn't get any easier. Having the festival in late September might be the best incentive for going back, with cooler temperatures and a much more comfortable setting. There is also the anticipation in knowing Bonnaroo is coming back, which makes me wonder what fun new things the organizers have planned for its return after a year's hiatus.

This week the Bonaroo festival site was inundated with rain for days, leaving the ground muddy and flooded. Those who lived through TomorrowWorld Mudworld can appreciate how much this can ruin a festival. We saw what can happen when a festival tries to move ahead in this type of scenario, and it bankrupted an entire corporation.

So the festival was forced to cut camping capacity to keep it together. Like us on Facebook to see similar stories. I'm already a fan, don't show this again. Send MSN Feedback.
