Bonnaroo I

Phew! Did you survive the photo overload?

These were from our first day, Thursday.  The line to get in to Centeroo was quite lengthy as it was the days following.  I talked a girl who had attended Bonnaroo back in 2008/2009 and she said that at that time there was no wait!  There were still crowds, but not nearly as numerous as today. 

Once we got in, we walked around a little bit to get our bearings.   There weren't any major headliners Thursday, so we checked out a lot of smaller artists.  It was the first time we had ever seen a caucasian, female rapper; K-Flay.  Next we saw Mariachi El Bronx.  These guys have a really neat background.  Originally they were a punk band called "The Bronx".  They released an album under that name, and then for their second album, they decided to become a mariachi band.  Talk about a change!

There were artists-painters, screen-printers, seamstresses, etc. that set up shop throughout Centeroo.  We had a chance to walk by many of them before going to Moon Taxi.  We were super impressed at Moon Taxi! They really put on a good show and got the audience pumped.  They were followed by another great band, SOJA.  SOJA plays reggae music, and though I am not a huge reggae fan, I fell in love with them.  I was touched by their lyrics.  Last concert of the day was Mimosa, an electronic band, which was a fun way to end the night.
