Late Night Bonnaroo

Alright, time is creeping by and there are only 57 days until the festival! A lot has happened since I last blogged:  a Bonnaroo friend came and went, tickets have been purchased, new cars (that will be making their way to Tennessee) have been purchased, acts have been added, and just recently, Late Night Bonnaroo has been announced. Last year, Late Night Bonnaroo was my favorite part of the festival.  Though difficult to stay awake for after a day in the heat and running on two hours of sleep, it provides some of the best performances. It is also nice to be out of the Tennessee sun.

Night Time at Bonnaroo

Up this year: Lil Wayne, String Cheese Incident, Bassnectar, Girl Talk, Dr. John with the Original Meters and Allen Toussaint performing Desitively Bonnaroo, Pretty Lights, STS9, Gogol Bordello

Recently, Danielle had a great experience seeing Gogol Bordello in Boston that only enhanced our excitement when Late Night Bonnaroo was announced.

However you have to do it, I advise you to stay up for all the shows you can. What's that saying? You can sleep when you are home and not at a four day music festival? Something like that. Anyway, Bonnaroo provides many means of staying awake - though some more expensive (and legal) than others - it all depends on your preferences. Personally, being around all of the people, the music, some beers, and a Red Bull sufficed to keep me up until six in the morning. Others take a different approach - just a tip:  if you aren't into drugs, think twice before acting when someone asks you to 'lick their hand.' Most likely, they are offering you Molly, a pure form of the drug MDMA that is bound to keep you awake, as well as put you in a great mood.
