Celebrity Sightings at Bonnaroo

Not that it matters or anyone really cares, but…

It’s come to my attention that aside from the musicians, there were a number of celebrity sightings at Bonnaroo this year. I didn’t exactly have any run-ins with anyone that famous, although I did watch Bela Fleck and Toumani Diabate’s set side stage while standing about ten feet away from Phish’s Mike Gordon and I’m not sure but I also believe I was watching a set on Saturday afternoon (maybe Elvis Perkins) while standing about the same distance from the drummer of My Morning Jacket, although they didn’t play but I’m about 90% sure it was him.

Other than that, I ran into Beatle Bob and said hey to him (still not sure who he is, maybe I’ll google it) and I also noticed Grace Potter a number of times watching shows near me, as well as some trumpet player (maybe from Perkins band) but he joined several bands during their performances.

Aside from that, the first celebrity sighting came early last week when either one or both of the Olsen twins were spotted at a Waffle House outside of Manchester. Other celebrities people noticed at Bonnaroo 2009 include Drew Barrymore (painted up like an Indian chick) and Justin Long, Cameron Diaz and Natalie Portman. I’d also like to note that Springsteen was spotted watching many bands side stage including Band of Horses and MGMT.
