Bonnaroo Behind the Scenes: Let's Get Tertiary
Editor's Note: Reptar guitarist Jace Bartet (pictured below) will be filing behind-the-scenes reports from Bonnaroo all weekend long. Catch Reptar at Flagpole's AthFest showcase at the Georgia Theatre next Friday, June 21.

Almost immediately upon entering Loop 10, however, blinding rain and crashing trees forced me right back off the highway. Once the storm abated, a super-bright double rainbow high-fived my eyes with its promise of good fortune.
