All Bonnaroo Saga posts: tag/Bonnaroo 07
This is where I’m going to throw little things that wouldn’t fit in any other space.
I saw the lowest gas price all trip in Virginia: $2.73/gallon. A good $0.50 less than up here.
The whole trip cost me $402:
– $220 Bonnaroo Ticket
– $120 Greyhound Ticket
– $20 Food/Toiletries
– $15 Iced Lemonades
– $10 T-Shirt
– $8 Pizza
– $6 Waffle House
– $3 Bonnaroo Sticker
Pretty sure those are all my expenses.
On the way down, I saw a huge sign on an apartment complex that read: “If you lived here, you’d be home now.”
At some point (I think it was on the way down, leaving Baltimore) I wrote a poem. It popped into my head, and stayed there, so I wrote it down:
In the back of the bus there is no rain
I can see that it is wet outside,
I can see the lightning,
I can see the windshield wipers going,
But I wouldn’t know it was raining outside
Unless you told me.
I like it because of all the social and various deeper meanings that can be taken from it, but I like it most because I wrote it about none of those things.
I took two disposable camera’s worth of photos. I’ll upload them to Flickr once I get them developed.
If you plan on traveling Greyhound, and you’re going to an event, give yourself some wiggle room by leaving earlier than you need to. You’ll need it.
I’d recommend not traveling Peter Pan if at all possible. The first bus I got on was a Peter Pan bus, and we were 10 minutes late, which made me over a day late. On the way back, the last bus I was on was also a Peter Pan bus (driven by Bus Nazi) and that bus was over 15 minutes late. I’m only happy I had no connecting bus to catch.
That is one thing I can say for Greyhound buses. None that I was on were ever late. If anything, they were early.
The people at Greyhound are nice, but they generally can’t do much to help you (except Gary).
When traveling by bus, you get what you pay for.
