C'est Bonnaroo

Last weekend I tweaked my ankle at some point during the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester Tennessee.

Bonnaroo is a New Orleans term derived from the French phras,e "Bon à rue" which literally means, "good on the street." it was used to describe the quality of the music that night. I can say in no uncertain terms that the music at Bonnaroo was amazing but, that is only part of the fun.

The festival consists of about 80,000 people and a lot of music. It's hot. The people are amazingly friendly. There are a bunch of choices for food. You will lose your friends at least once. You will make new friends, even if just for the week-end.

The vibe at this event is amazing. You can pretty much walk up to anyone and start a conversation. They want to hear about you and where you are from. You share a common interest in the music and it seems so natural.

You can eat almost anything. I had a pulled pork sandwich, a Crifdog, funnel cake, and burritos. It was great.

If you need to get around, simply hop on a golf cart taxi. For five dollars they will take you anywhere in Bonnaroo. If you're not in a hurry, still along and chat with folks as you go.

I had an amazing time at Bonnaroo. I will go back. Everything about it was awesome and how can you not love a Sunday afternoon where you are listening to the Beach Boys.

If you are looking for an amazing music festival, c'est Bonnaroo!
