my favorite Bonnaroo memory is from Sunday afternoon. the weather was perfect... sunny, but not too hot. my girl and i had just scored some very fine blaze, and we had the perfect high going as we walked down from our VIP tents to the What stage. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss were playing "In the Mood". hippie girls were running around in big circles, twirling as they neared each other. my girlfriend had a polaroid camera and we took pictures of random people and gave them the prints - seeing their faces light up was well worth the relatively inexpensive cost of the 30 prints we brought down (oh, and some people gave us some special cookies in return). when we got into the crowd in front of the stage, there was a guy dressed up as Jesus and he was blessing people with water, lol. we got a polaroid pic of him, which still makes me smile. i realized i hadn't taken a picture of my lady yet that weekend, so i told her that, and she stepped back and smiled, and i think its the lovliest picture ever taken of her.
