So maybe I didn't need to pick up on Tuesday afternoon and drive with my best gal pal,
H, seven hours to Clemson. We drove to Clemson so we could rendez-vous with
Lease and drive another 8 hours all the way to Richmond, VA so that we could get there at 11 pm (Wednesday) and meet-up with some good ole Virginia boys, then another 5 hours to Bristol to add two more cars full of jam-loving butts to our happy caravan just so that we could get to Manchester, TN by 9 am Thursday and sit in Hippie Traffic for another six hours, before finally getting to our camp-site. (Camp Snagglepuss)
But then, I wouldn't have been at Bonnaroo.
BONNA-ROOOO!I missed class, sure. I spent money, sure.
But the music was so incredible. What a fucking life-changer.
When I don't have to worry about appeasing your curiousity with photo links, or a couple of tests that are just around the corner thanks to Summer School, I'll fill you all in with the details.
Although, for the most part Bonnaroo is indescribable until you've seen it with your own eyes.
