06.05.08Remember Bonnaroo 2007? You Said It, I Didn’t.While combing through archives of last year, I came across a minor treasure trove of short interviews I did with various concert goers at Bonnaroo 2007. I can't remember these guys' names (they say them in the interview), but I sure hope they'll reconsider and actually come back to Bonnaroo 2008 next week. Maybe this year, they should consider sticking with beer, nahh mean?

06.19.07Bonnaroo Fashion “Do’s” Pt. 2 — Ice, Ice Baby!One thing anyone who has been to the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival can tell you is this: it's hot (no, not like Paris Hilton saying that something is hot, physically hot like a grilled cheese sammich that is still grillin'). Desperate circumstances call for desperate measures, and when you've gotta cool down you've gotta go for frozen water cubes. That's right: it's Reddy-Ice Time. This guy's choice to strip right down to shorts and hang the Reddy-Ice bag over his head shows a sense of style and fashion that is also affordable. Of course, be ...

06.18.07I Can’t Pay Attention ‘Cuz I’m On That Dust — Dust Bowl Ballads At BonnarooNo, this picture was not taken at dawn as the hazy morning sun cuts through the dew. This is Bonnaroo at sunset engulfed in a sea of dust so thick it boggles the mind. Conditions were unfathomably dry throughout the festival this year. You could see people wearing face masks, bandannas, and covering their mouths with shirts in hopes of separating the dirt from the oxygen. People lost their voices, lungs were coughed up. It will take all of us a few days to get the dirt out of our systems.

06.18.07Dancing About Architecture Pt. 1 — Bonnaroo 2007 Shows Festival On The Move, Change On HorizonI am sitting here completely exhausted after the four and one-half hour trip back to Memphis from sunny Manchester. The whirlwind adventure started on a high note as Nathan and I arrived almost 10 hours ahead of schedule to set up camp. Having never been to Bonnaroo before, I was relying on Nathan, the seasoned veteran of three previous outings, to show me what was what. It was a humbling role reversal, the younger person educating the "professional" on the ins and outs. Nathan's insight put things in perspective regarding the changes the festival has seen since ...
