I guess nobody else went to this smelly hell-hole of an event. I must say that David Byrne was the highlight of my weekend, but Dylan and Wilco were very nice to see, too. Probably the last time I will go, but it was worth the 3 inches of mud on my shoes and the skin falling off of my red shoulders.

I would've liked to have gone. From all accounts, it was awesome.

Did you stay for Trey Sunday night?

We wish you had been there! We were so over bonnaroo and had seen Trey before that we left around 9 pm Sunday.

it was haunting me all weekend that wilco was playing so close by and i wasn't there...but i wasn't about to shell out a bunch of money and brave the hippies and evil heat just for jeff...from the reports i heard, wilco was, quite naturally, brilliant, but all told the festival was pure chaos.
tell me facts tell me facts tell me facts
tell me facts throw your arms around me

the only thing that will get me to go to bonnaroo would be a smashing pumpkins re-union show.
We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!

I was also sad about this. I was at work and tried to find some sort of wecam thing on the internet that might be showing their performance. I put "bonnaroo web cam" into google, clicked on the first link entitiled "bonnaroo live webcam". Well, it's safe to saw that it was not Wilco. It was hardcore porn. I wouldn't be surprised if the folks at the library one day fire me for looking up porn through campus computers.

This was the second year that I've been, and it was great. I heard David Byrne from our campsite (We were that close!) and i too must say it was aweome. Getting to see Del McCoury was pretty righteous too. And yes it was so worth the cold rain and mud.
