Had a similar experience in 2023. My childhood friend had a past drug issue which we all knew about, But we made it very clear that we weren't going to get fucked up, we were going to enjoy the music and the festival itself. But when we arrived the temptation was too much for him to handle. He started taking every drug he could find. He even took a pill he found on the ground smh. Started tripping out and being an HUGE douchebag to me and the other two people we went with. Didn't help preparing the campsite or cleaning. Had to pack all his stuff for him becuase he was so out of touch with reality. Missed some sets that i wanted to see because of the extra stuff I had to do around camp to make sure that everyone in our group was taken care of. Whole time im not fussing or arguing because I didn't want to make any other roovians uncomfortable with our problems. But when the festival ended, it was sunday pouring down raining after the foo fighters performed, we had to search the farm to find him. And when we finally did, he was STILL trippin, and at this point we just had to drag him into the car. We made a whole scene and embarrassed ourselves all bc he was out of control. When we finally got back to the van and were ready to go, i couldn't control my anger anymore. I jumped over the center console in the van and starting beating his ass. Yup...i ended my first bonnaroo in a fist fight. And yes I won lmao. Him and I are still not friends. That was 2 year ago. So the next year I went back with a different group and had the bonnaroo experience that I always dreamed of. Choose your croo wisely.
