Been going to Bonnaroo for a decade and I skipped it this year for my first EF
Been dreaming of making it to EF for as long as I can remember. Been going to camping festivals since 2015 and the goal always was to make it to EF. I went to my first bonnaroo in 17 and changed my life in ways that I can’t even describe. Place means the world to me and it’s always been so close to EF I’ve never been able to swing both. The Roo lineup came out this year and it was my least favorite since I started going and I debated for so long if this was the year I would finally miss my first Roo in a decade to make it to EF. I decided this would be the year I finally did it and I watched all my best friends go to Roo two weeks and it killed me and I was thinking I hope I don’t regret this. Thursday when levity came on the honeycomb set I had such a surreal moment that I was actually in the forest for the first time. I’ve watched the previous levity honeycomb set a million times, it was something I’ll never forget. Friday was one of my favorite festivals days of my life and I’ve had some serious bangers throughout the years. I left my group to go back early at the very end of Shaq on Saturday and when I got out of the fest I sat on a cement block as shaq and tpain played their tribute to Oliver tree just staring at the e forest arch. Got emotional and was thinking to myself I’m really at this place right now, I’d never thought I’d make it but I did and it was 5 days that I’ll never forget. Not even sure why I’m posting this just wanted to share. Not sure if I’ll ever be back but it was an experience that I will value forever. Much love everyone, see ya out there.
