Bonnaroo

Last week I trekked across country to attend the music festival in Manchester, Tennessee called Bonnaroo.



Except for visiting Emory in Atlanta a handful of times during college, I haven't really been to the south at all, so when I visited my first Waffle House, I was highly amused and enthralled by the various accents that greeted me when I stepped into the fast food eatery.



I am probably the only person that goes to Bonnaroo and comes back with not one festival picture, but shots of Waffle House, shots of a Tennessee bbq spot that I searched out, and...well yeah.



Things that happened at Bonnaroo include me meeting a 25-year old boy scout (year, those actually exist), me meeting a crazy guy that talked about his brilliant movie script that involved a dog president and poisonous pinto beans, and bomb dumplings from Vermont that I discovered amidst various fried food stands.



Moral of the story? Bonnaroo is the bomb, go, but make sure you bring your rain boots.

I would do the exact same thing. If there happens to be music, fine. But ultimately it's a food trip.
