June 2013
I waited for bonnaroo for months and months and months and now it is over. It was such a GREAT experience. It’s sad that it went by so fast. I remember back in 09 when I went, I was only there two days (because I had to come home to graduate) and it felt like a lifetime and now i was there four days and it seemed like a split second. Getting older sucks. Watching Paul McCartney play was amazing. Even though he is old he is still out there rocking out and having an amazing time. He is such an inspiration. Thinking about his concert still gives me chills and I’m so lucky to have been able to be there and to see him play his songs and the Beatles’ songs. It’s so awesome that festivals happen. What would we do without that break from reality? Bonnaroo is a time escape and to feel alive with the people you care about. It’s about expressing art in any which way you feel to. Pretty Lights was also DOPE. He defiantly killed the show and we partied together until the sun rose. I’m glad we all made it back safely. Those who did not, I feel sorry for. You have to take care of your body people. Eat, drink, hydrate, laugh, dance, sing, and love! Our campsite was great. I’m glad we had a tent and a canopy and fans. Everything I needed was at my finger tips. It’s nice to be clean again though. I defianlty felt like a dirty hippie after a few days. But it didn’t bother me too much. I’d rather be a hippie everyday than one not at all. I was defianlty born in the wrong generation. Why can’t things slow down a little? what’s the big rush? let’s take things one step at a time. the turtle wins the race, remember? Flashes of Roo dances in my head. How long will I remember what happened in 2013? Life goes on. I can’t wait until my next fesitval encounters. I was actually thinking of something smaller than Bonnaroo. I feel like Bonnaroo has gotten too big over the years. 140,000 people. After Paul McCartney that people jam was intense. I was like uuughhh are we ever gonna get outta here!? LOL. Something with trees would be good too.I defentialy want to be the old people in a festival that is still rockin out and going to see all the COOL BANDS still. Life is just too short not to enjoy what you’re doing, how youre living and the people you decide to take with you on the ride. Bonnaroo, I love you. SENDING OUT HAPPY VIBES TO EVERYONE <3333
