I am really having to stretch to think of things to improve. I genuinely thought it was amazingly well-organized and put-together this year.
1. There was a lot of confusion about the Cinema Tent and tickets when I was there. When I asked around, I was told I needed tickets for the bigger shows (although I couldn't find out WHERE they were giving them out), but that I could just queue for the smaller shows. Not even the people working/volunteering at the cinema tent seemed to know what was going on and I never did find out what shows had tickets and where to get them. So please let everyone know WHAT method they need to follow to get into shows and how to do so!
2. More shade trees close to the stages/tents. Particularly The Other Tent.
3. Better lighting between Pod 10 and Pod 11. Also, please post the different hours for the Pod 11 amenities if they are not the same as the rest. I walked over there the first night for a shower only to find them closed because they didn't have a large crowd.
4. Perhaps more of those urinal troughs? After large shows, I saw a lot of guys peeing on the walls around the port-a-pots instead of IN them. Uber nasty.
I'm def one of those guys who pisses anywhere after it get dark. Whether that be on the back wall of the What Stage lawn, or beside a tent, or behind the food trucks.

Guilty? :-\
Ditto. I'll pee on literally anything. I figure I'm being considerate by reducing the line for the ladies.
Speaking of trees! There is going to be an upcoming program involving trees at Bonnaroo that is going to be VERY VERY VERY exciting! Im not sure if its been mentioned yet or not in this thread.

^What Dave said, I didn't think it was a 100% in place thing. Also I've had a bit of discretion about things like that, since I'm not sure if they wanted us to talk publicly about their plans.

I pretty much considered anything told there to 10 online forum festival fanatics would be assumed shared.
But thats also why i didnt post the details and was hoping one of yall would :-P

Nah, I have tried to limit it to stuff that is already well-known (re: the trees they planted last year) or things that aren't interesting to anyone but us (California is the #9 state).

I cringe when I see people lounging up against trees/fences/sides of vending stands. UGH. So much pee.
When you are peeing on something that ISN'T meant to be peed on, please remember this! People will be leaning or sitting against that surface at some point in time and that surface will be covered with your pee! I am sure you don't want to sit in someone else's pee and neither do I!

For the record I only pee in the places god, and the festival planners, intended. My balance isn't good enough while inebriated to try free range peeing.

As an experienced urinator, I assure you, walls are meant to be peed on.

This is going to come off as very jerky, but to be completely honest with you, at the wee hours of the morning, when im drunk in Centeroo and desperately have to pee and see that the wait for the porto's is insane, the LAST thing on my mind is "Oh man, I wonder if someone will sit against the wall/tent in the coming days". It's more like "OMFG THIS URINE FLOWING OUT OF MY BLADDER FEELS SOOOOOOOOOO quacking GOOOOOOOOOD"

I heard some rumblings about a program last year that they were looking to implement that involved donations from attendees and the money would go towards a tree being planted on the grounds that was "yours" and nameable. Is this the program you all are referring to?

Yessir. But we are unsure if it is more than rumblings yet

Just remember, if you are leaning or sitting against a surface that was not made to sit on or lean against(aka, not a chair), just remember some drunk-ass might have pee'd on it.

Your signature has me busting the quack up laughing. So great.
EDIT: Also, my wife believes men should pee elsewhere and not add to the late night lines for the portas. She's weird.
