So what is everyone's opinion? I thought it was pretty cool, we were close enough to hear it every time it went off, but it always got some giggles. The Samuel L. Jackson Quotes one was my favorite.

i loved it, however i don't know if i'd love it as much if i was camped right near it. we were close enough to hear its completely random output, but far enough where it wasn't overbearing

I think it wasn't working properly until Sunday and even then it seemed to be sporadic. Cool idea, but in Access camping it was WAY too loud. It was funny and I agree the Fraggle Rock song was the best.
Having camped in Access... HATED IT! I wished on many occasions, for a gun to shoot it! Way too loud... However, while in centeroo I could actually enjoy the damn thing!
I didn't mind it. Although there didn't seem to be any consistency in when it went off as I never heard it every hour, just occasionally on the hour. I remember Monday morning it going off at around 3am when it was relatively quiet in tent only followed by drowsy cries of "Bonnaroooooo"
My favorite was the tv theme songs, realized I was grooving out to Laverne and Shirley. Everytime it went off in centeroo I was like woah WTF oh the clock and would listen to the random output. Funny but yeah it was loud.
I was on the fence about the clock for the first day or so. Come Friday morning, my friend & I couldn't discern a notable rhyme or reason to when it was going off. Some girl walking past overheard this and said "That just means it's Party Time."
So every time I heard it go off for the rest of the whole weekend, I said/thought to myself "Party Time!" and got this smirk on my face.

Speaking of interrupting live music, it seemed like the imbeciles driving the shit trucks relished doing so at every opportunity (SEE Mumford set) with unnecessary honking.

I most definitely have a love/hate relationship with the clock. We were in access camping and for the most part we had to stop all conversation and wait out the clock it was SO loud. Also at the Other Tent there were a few times it interfered with bands playing, it messed with the the sound there...
That being said the little dragon/lizard/dinosaur guy was pretty cute, some of the sound clips were pretty funny, and my FAVORITE part was whenever Frank Sinatra played I would see dozens of people stop what they were doing, grab their significant other and slow dance. It was so cute, I was almost a little jealous I didn't have a significant other to dance with.

I thought it was hilarious. I could hardly hear the "cuckoo" way back in pod 10, so it never woke me up. When I heard it in Centeroo it made me smile huge. My friends rented an on site tent though, and it was LOUD. Like, we could hardly talk over it. They hated it.
