saturday at bonnaroo

we were woken from our dreams early saturday morning – and i mean earlier than i’ve been up in a while on a saturday – because the heat was already making the tents unbearable.  the sun was out and we knew it was going to get HOT. we started the day by heading into centeroo, where all the vendors set up shop.  they have great vendors at bonnaroo – lots of handmade clothing and accessories, all natural products and surprisingly good food. i picked up a bag that i adore and a beautiful skirt from a shop called the mayan connection – actually all four of us got skirts there :)

as guests we had access to a special area behind one of the stages with a “messy hall” and outdoor seating areas – with hammocks.

right across from the guest area was the artist hospitality area – which looked pretty sweet. we were not allowed in, though…

the first show we went to on saturday was jimmy cliff, who i was really looking forward to seeing. he was awesome –  as he was singing “i can see clearly now,” we were told we had to leave the bleachers where we were sitting because a storm was coming in. we were actually kindof excited for rain but the storm never came. umbrellas were everywhere at bonnaroo – not because of rain, but to provide shade from the hot hot sun.

a free people bag in the crowd…

and our new buddy proudly rocks one in the bleachers.  i love making friends at bonnaroo :)

next up was mumford & sons who were phenomenal! at one point old crow medecine show came out and played “wagon wheel” with them which was awesome. after that we went over to cafe where? to see angus and julia stone.   they were amazing and angus is seriously the cutest thing i’ve ever seen. julia has a gorgeous voice and she can play guitar, keys, the horn and harmonica.  she rocks.

and finally, stevie wonder took the stage for his headlining show.

more coming soon… :)
