The Bus Arrives!

After finalizing paperwork and putting the finishing touches on the bus, Lucas, Whitney, Frances, and Brent set out from Hanover early Thursday afternoon, trucking straight through the night and all the way into the evening on Friday. They pick up Merritt, a chair, some stools, and a couch in Cherry Hill on the way, and all June members of the crew are on the road. After a day of shows by the Cold War Kids, Hot Chip, Lily Allen, The Black Keys, and Manu Chao, the chase car crew is ecstatic to see the bus roll into Bonnaroo around 8pm!

Happy reunions are had, Brent expresses his love for Reggae music, and the bus is proudly shown off to the citizens of Bonnaroo. A Tool concert, a quick stop at Aesop Rock, and then dancing at the hilariously awkward Silent Disco round out the evening for the newly reunited Bus Crew. Two full days of concerts, displaying the bus, and mechanical tinkering await!

The bussers hit Bonnaroo’s Silent Disco. Nice face, Hayley!

Fact-o-the-day: Clean Vibes is helping to make Bonnaroo Music Festival a Leave No Trace festival by assisting the clean-up effort. Last year, they recycled 56% of the almost 500 tons of waste generated by Bonnaroo, and hope to reach at least 60% this year.
