Matt sorry for your loss. I am sure others will repeat what I say, but the community here at Inforoo is like no other. You have my support and the support of many, many others in this family. I think the Mods are all ready working on something or I think I saw Adam post something like that, either way talk to them. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Beth and you and your families are in my prayers!

matts - As open and eloquent as I wish to be on a public forum, you have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy.
In all sincerity, please mark me down as someone who is more than willing to lend my skills, time and effort to assist in any organized movement to bolster the safety awareness of Bonnaroo attendees, whether officially sanctioned by the festival organizers, or through a homegrown outside organization.

This just breaks my heart. There was a time when I was in love with Bonnaroo. I felt that it held everything I loved - joy, music, community, open-mindedness, adventure. I will never forget walking back to camp with Matt and him saying to me, "This is our place." And I felt so deeply that it was and in some way always would be.
When we lost Matt, I felt that slip away from me, but I somehow believed that he would be happy that that's where he went, that his soul would always be there with the music and the adventure.
Hearing about these two deaths, and about all the things that went wrong this year at Roo, have truly ended my love affair. I now feel it is truly reckless for Superfly to turn a blind eye to what goes on at the farm and to not care for Roo-goers properly. I don't care that the other 79,998 people did not lose their lives. The fact that two did means there is something that should have been done that was not, and that is wrong. I will not be convinced otherwise.
I guess I have totally lost my faith - in Bonnaroo, and what I thought it was.
Matt, there are no words to express my sadness for you. I believe your mission is a very noble one and I wish you all the best in honoring Beth.

I echo Holls' sentiments 100%. Please let us know how we can help.

To simply say that I am sorry for your loss is not enough my friend. I leave a small piece of me every time that I leave Bonnaroo and when I hear of stories of tragedy that occur on the farm, it stays with me for weeks and months on end. For all of the fun and excitement that happens on the farm, it is a shame that bad stuff still happens
Know this, Beth will be remembered and honored EVERY YEAR I GO along with others who have so tragically perished at Bonnaroo. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask my friend. In this time of grieving and sadness, I wish that comfort, compassion and peace find their way into your heart and continue to help heal you from outside in.
We are a family up here my brother. Beth will be remembered as one of us and know that her spirit will live on.
Music fuels us as we continue to conquer the battlefields of boredom and artistic freedom.
If it moves you, go with it. To waste that moment is a tragedy-The Pondo Army Movement

I cant imagine what you are going through, but I second the sentiment that she wont be forgotten. And somebody needs to let me know what I can do to help with this educational campaign.
