"TBF is an amazing experience.  Once you go, you'll never want to miss it."




Yes indeed!

I have attended Bonnaroo once....................
I can only hope that with TBF I wont see people asking for Meth,
wont see fights, wont get scammed out of my food because you cant take it with you.
Wont have security take (and keep) my backpack because they arent allowed inside and wont have people pooping behind there tents (everywhere) very gross.
And I wont see babies crying in tents with nobody around. And I hope I dont see 6$
bottles of water and 11$ hamburgers ($12.50 with cheese). And I hope I dont see mothers with children get thrown to the ground by security because they refused to give up their backpacks containing diapers and baby food. And I hope I dont see
people shooting up, and I hope I dont see people stealing tents (our neighbors left for a show and when they came back their entire camp was gone.
Lastly the image that will forever stick in my mind when I hear Bonnaroo.....
Everywhere I looked I saw diapers and needles,very sad.............
We are hoping Telluride is a more thoughtful and positive experience.

Illium on Monday morning!

^how I feel now about Wakarusa.  Hopefully this year was better.  I went to the first one and had a blasty blast.  The second year I got to watch my neighbors making crack in the bottom of a soda can.  It was special to say the least.

Freckled Farmer and Vetniles,

  I have been to Bonnaroo and I have been to TBF, and to be 100% honest, you can;t compare the two in any way shape or form (In my opinion), just to hit up a few of the items listed:

Water - Lots of it, cold and free

Food - VERY fair prices and great selection

Security Harrassing Folks - Does not exist, everyone with TBF is very friendly and respectful, Don't be an absolute idiot and show respect and you will be fine

Babies in Tents/Bad Vibes - Again, does not exist

Hard Drugs/Junkies - See above, if they are their, I never see them!

Trash all over the palce - The complete opposite

Bathrooms - Cleanest Honey Buckets I ahve EVER seen at a festival (and I have been to ALOT of them)

  Your in for a treat once you get down there and get settled in, lord knows I was blown away my first time!!!!

I know it will be a completely different experience.  I am excited to say the least.

[The Freckled Farmer]

Thanks all! very positive words.
I saw around 100 dead shows, probably 100 phish shows and many, many others.
I have never seen so much negativity as I did there, again a big dissapointment.
I think we have found our new home at TBF.
I look forward to making it an annual pilgrimage!

This year they are gonna have Portajanes.  A pink outhouse just for the ladies, it has mirrors, and handles on the side so girls can hover.  I guess they don't like to touch there hiny's to the seat.  They were made by a telluride HS student.

[statelax]

Sorry, I work in the Construction Industry, so my 'field talk' tends to come out at times

Honey Buckets = Porta Potties

  Lol that being said, I was VERY impressed with just how clean the festival is as a whole, BIG thumbs up for the Planet Bluegrass Crew!!!!
