Left Houma Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. (the plan was to leave for 10). After numerous stops in New Orleans and after a red beans and rice with a smothered porkchop lunch at the praine connection we finally hit the road for Manchester, Tennesse for the 8th Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.(the plan was 12:00 p.m.)
This is the sixth year I have attended and was lucky enough to host the WWOZ live broadcasted from the Somethin' Else New Orleans Tent at last years festival.
We arrived in Manchester, Tennessee at 10:15 p.m. and after checking in our hotel and a meal at the Waffle House we returned to the room and fell asleep. But not till after listening to WWOZ and the end of the Minister of Swing on the Kitchen Sink and after the Jazz Lunitque signed on. 12:30 a.m.
After setting up Camp 2 in the Guest Camping Area around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday we headed to the Gen-Pop Area (general admission). We rented an R.V. in this section (Camp 2).
4:20 p.m. after getting both camps set up I am sitting down to do this posting and then off to check out Bonarooooooo!!!!!
