Bonnaroo 2010: Day 2

Jul 102010

Day 2 is the day. It really is. It’s the day you’re the most rested, the best fed, the most hydrated.

We woke up whenever the sun did. Sleeping in the back of the car was pretty good compared to the tent, with the right breeze…and not minding if people can see you through the open windows. Whenever we broke out our schedules to remember who we wanted to see that day, it was already too late to catch Conan O’Brien. I don’t know when those people got their tickets to see him and I have to commend their efforts. Looked like it was going to become a purely music day.

When we made it to Centeroo, we hit up the water fountain first thing. HOT AS HELL OUTSIDE.

Hey I never gave an day-by-day update on what happened at Bonnaroo like I did last year. I wouldn’t take the time, but those posts from last year give me more traffic than anything else on the site. I’m not lying. Thanks, hippies!

The drive down was infinitely better than last year. Instead of driving my Jeep Wrangler, the three of us took a Ford Expedition (cruise control and air conditioning are not overrated). It was so comfortable, I drove the entire 12 hours. Sidenote: We arranged to stop at the first rest stop after Nashville to wait for our 4th member, driving from Virginia (we were coming from New York). We ended up meeting up at the same on-ramp in Nashville without stopping…how’s that for planning? Marine Corps, bitch!
