This is Bill Hall’s first year at the Bonnaroo Festival and my fourth, and one of the many things I’ve learned coming here is that as soon as you step on site, you have to let go of whatever standards of cleanliness you normally hold yourself to.
Also, get a good pair of rubber boots.
The first day of the festival was stormy and by the time the sun went down there were giant puddles everywhere. I made the rookie mistake of not turning my flashlight on until I was mid-puddle, but thankfully I had the boots (especially considering that this particular puddle happened to be right outside of a big row of porta-potties).
Once you’ve got your boots and your lowered standards of cleanliness, you’re ready to see some music. I caught some of the Passion Pit show last night, Gomez and Animal Collective today. Tonight it’s David Byrne, Phoenix and maybe Al Green! Also got to meet Ani DiFranco backstage. Hope you’ve been enjoying all the backstage interviews and performances on the Summit.
And you don’t even have to brave the puddles.
