My Bonnaroo Romance

Last Summer my sister took me to see the Summer of Love Exhibit at the Whitney Museum which was about Woodstock and the hippie era(obviously). I saw a bunch of pictures of the hippie couples who got to experience woodstock together and I developed a fascination/jealousy for them. Bonnaroo confirmed my admiration/jealousy for them as I saw dozens of couples sitting together under trees or lieing on blankets listening to the music on the stage but in their own little world, whether from being in love or being on acid. Now normally I effin hate couples and PDA but at concerts where hippies rule, love is free and no one judges you I love them and wanted to be one of them. For the first night at Bonnaroo I was alone for longer then I would have liked to been because Annie and her family were exhausted and passed out in the tent and car. So i wandered around a bit it was still fun but lonely. The next day I got split up with Annie as she was off seeing Les Claypool and I was seeing the Racontours (or the "Ra Cunt ers" as I called them for about a day and a half until annie rudly corrected me) So I'm sitting there chillin until this regulation hottie sits in front of me. Well Im a girl who follows her intution and this little tiny voice in my head was screaming "SIT NEXT TO HIM ...NOW!" Plus he had the same fone as me so it had to have been meant to be. I move next to him and in this voice that I tried very hard to make sound confident I asked ""May I sit next to you?" Well....one thing led to another and we hit it off. I found out that he was reading Crime and punishment, a book I had just finished, which bascialy sealed the deal so to speak. Oh and he was an AP kid! The one guy I come on to at Bonnaroo turns out to be an AP kid after all my efforts of avoiding the sick and desperate love hexagons of the ap kind. But he was from the Tennesse Ap kid faction, so its all good. And I liked that he was smart as opposed to my last beaux (circa February 08) who freaked out when I used the word nostalgia. And just like that I became one of those couples at a festival. From an insiders point of view it was quite enjoyable being with someone at bonnaroo, riding the ferris wheel at sunset listening to the music whilst sprawled out on a blanket and having adventures and shenanigans. Lol one of my um idiosyncrasies when it comes to life in general but particularly boys is that I relate everything back to the movie titanic. And we had our titanic moments. For one, like the class differences of Jack and Rose, he was from the VIP section at Bonnaroo and I was from the normal section. At bonnaroo the normal section people aren't allowed in the VIP section but the VIP people are allowed in the normal section, so together we got to see the differences between them or the best of both worlds as Miley Cyrus once said. I snuck into the VIP section with him but we had to climb under a fence when no one was looking which was scary because as he was crawling these two big men come from out of the night and grab his legs. For like 5 seconds we were both in sheer terror that they were gunna pull him away and send him to Bonnaroo jail or something and seperate us, but no it was bonnaroo and everyone was nice and helpful instead they said "here ya go man" as they held up the fence and pushed him under. We had a bunch of Lolz after that as you can imagine. Oh and another time we were like hiding together in this abandoned tent (the medium sized circus kind that is) when all of a sudden this guy comes in on the other side, he didnt realize we were in there well for like 30 seconds this random guys is like messing with his zipper and i thought he was about to jack off but no he starts peeing, Harry and I had to stop ourselves from laughing until his huge fat friend came in and started to pee when all of a sudden in a thick southern accent he goes "LOOK MARK TEHRS PEOPLE IN HERE!" well harry and me ran out after that screaming which added to the dramatic effect. Yea that reminded me of titanic when Jack and rose are running in like the Irish worker section. Oh and taking AP Lang did pay off as I understood the various terms he used.(one of them was syllogism) And he liked the movie Apocalypse Now, thank you Mr. Del Campo and Justin for showing me the cult classic Kids which we discussed and Bosco for telling me about Harry and the Potters which he liked along with Harry Potter as his name was Harry after all. He was also fun when we hung out with annie and did stuff like hoola hoop frolick under the mushroom or dance at the silent disco. Oh yea just to add to the gayness of this post, I didn't go to prom obviously but we had a lil prom slow dance while this slow song was playing.it was nice tho. We met every day at the giant mushroom fountain at 3. (earlier than three would have been clingy and too much later than that would have been a booty call) We had an amazing time while Bonnaroo lasted, we parted yesterday at the car and said our last goodbyes. In the long run it never would have worked, he was from Tennessee where people still think Borat impersonations are funny and I was from New York where people know Mean Girls references are funny, but we will always have Bonnaroo 08.
