 Matt had one goal at Bonnaroo (beyond the music): he wanted to get more fucked up than he had ever been before.
The benchmark was set back in 2006, Matt&#8217;s first Bonnaroo: shrooms, hash, opium, and four [...]]]></description>

 Greg had a rule about buying drugs at Bonnaroo.
&#8220;Always buy from people who are fucked up,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If they are, it means the shit is good and they aren&#8217;t a cop. And you can negotiate a better deal.&#8221;
It made sense. [...]]]></description>

 Matt kept repeating it on the way to Bonnaroo. &#8220;This is Hamsterdam.&#8221; He said it when we stopped for gas and greasy food at a truck stop in southern Ohio, he said it while we sat on the balcony of a motel two hours from [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Look, there&#8217;s nothing you can say that will calm me down right now. I&#8217;ll be calm once we cross the border.&#8221;

China&#8217;s successful bid for the 2008 Olympic games was trumpeted as a milestone along the nation&#8217;s road to superpower status.
