<p>What can you tell me about Bonaroo? 20 year old son and group of buddies are heading to Tennessee this weekend. It sounds a lot like Woodstock.</p>
<p>You can probably watch it live on the internet. It’s the biggest of new genre of music festivals, featurings primarily indie and non-mainstream radio oriented bands. He should have fun. Wouldn’t be something that would cause me any great concern for a college kid.</p>
<p>Well, I wasn’t at Woodstock but my now 23yo S went to Bonaroo with a group of friends a couple of years ago. They came home exhausted, sunburned and covered in mud, but it was an experience I doubt they’ll forget.</p>
<p>Both my kids went for a few years. Had a great time. if you’ve brought them up right so far, they should be fine.</p>
<p>Lots of mud, heat, drugs, rain, heat, drugs, beer. Did I mention drugs? (also lots of people our age, believe it or not)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. I told him to bring water, sunscreen and wet wipes at a minimum!</p>
<p>Yup, definitely what MOWC said. </p>
<p>Son might want to find a way of securing his wallet to his body (chain to belt loop?) My DS had his wallet stolen, although, hmmm, I don’t know what his state of mind was at the time. </p>
<p>He did, however, have an “amazing” time.</p>
<p>My son has been going for years, but will be missing this year; medical school boards got in the way! You can actually enjoy Bonaroo without the drugs. I would suggest some sort of car converter for cell phones; the traffic getting in takes hours, and if you are on your phone, it will die. My son and his friends take a grill and coolers of food to avoid buying on site. Over the years they have upgraded what they take, including better beer as they have aged into their mid 20’s!</p>
<p>Sunscreen with bug repellent is a must. A hat, rainwear, and a few changes of clothes would be nice. My son has been during all types of weather, from horrible rain, dry dust, and cloudy skies; just be prepared for the weather and he will have a great time.</p>
