Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
I can't wait to visit California in April. I would love the get up to VT, NH, ME during one of my trips to CT. To be honest, I would be happy going anywhere!
You mentioned before you don't like Taylor Swift at all. What type of music do you think she should be doing, besides the pop-country whining about boys?
I just don't like her.
What is the best type of pizza you've had? The homemade pizza we make. It's the same homemade pizza my dad has been making ever since I can remember. It's the best.
How often do you wish Sang was a fan of some other college? Oh hush.
Should Elizabeth Warren run for president, or stay in the Senate?
I love that woman. I seriously do. I do hope she runs one day. Not sure if 2016 is the right time for her, but when she does I will be out doing all I can to support/help her. Not that it will do a lot around here.
Do you like reggae?
I don't listen to much reggae, but I do love Legend by Bob Marley. We had a luau for our rehearsal dinner, and somehow No Woman, No Cry got put on repeat. I think it played over & over for an hour before someone realized it.
What's the biggest guilty pleasure in your iPod/CD collection?
Honestly, I'm not sure. Actually, I do know. I have Thirty Seconds to Mars' version of Rihanna's Stay on my ipod.
What's the three best (and worst) shows/sets you've seen this year? I can't just pick three, so I'm picking four.
BEST
Ryan Adams at Newport Folk Festival
Arcade Fire in Atlanta (in the pit & their aftershow!)
The National at Shaky Knees
Damon Albarn at Bonnaroo - loved him!
WORST
Wiz at Bonnaroo - watching some of his set with Brad.
Phantogram at Counterpoint. My back was going out and I was feeling horrible, so probably not their fault.
I can't think of another. I've enjoyed almost everything I've seen this year.
And most importantly: are you coming back to Newport next year?
I cannot imagine not going to NFF/QC now. I have never felt so much at home as I did there.

A month & a half ago. 45 days to be exact. I am still soooooooooooooooooooo sorry Mike D, bonzai, k2b, fawnmart, quacker & everybody else that was in the puke van. I haven't been able to use that Tervis cup since.
Have you ever been puked on (by someone that wasn't your child or a baby, those don't count )?
Yes, Halloween two years ago. Two boys came up to our front door trick or treating. One stuck his bag out & walked away after I put some candy in it. The other one looked at me & puked right on my shoes, front door mat, porch, everywhere. It was awful. He ran back to his mom's van. She rolled down her window & apologized. That was a fun night.
What food do you think is disgusting but everyone else just loves?
Homemade mac & cheese. I hate that stuff. Give me Kraft or Velveeta any day over homemade stuff.
If you had a pet penguin, what would you name it? Herman. I have no idea why. It was the first thing that came into my head. That means it's meant to be, right?
I like your pictures and gifs. More questions then!
Are you more of a shower singer or a driving in the car singer?
Are there any cartoons you don't let your kids watch?
Have you always done Halloween costumes as a family, like the Fantastic Finley Foxes or the upcoming Ferris Bueller Fiasco?
If you could vastly improve one of your five senses at the expense of completely losing one of the others, which ones would you pick?
What's the last thing you bought that you regret having spent money on?
If you could have any exotic animal as a pet which one would you go with?
Lastly, and most importantly, how are you feeling about the CU v FSU tilt next Saturday? I'm getting plenty of (super biased) input from my FSU obsessed family so I want some fresh (probably also biased) insight from the other side of the coin.
I like your pictures and gifs. More questions then!
Are you more of a shower singer or a driving in the car singer?
Car singer FTW! Read in the bathtub, sing in the car - that's me.
Are there any cartoons you don't let your kids watch?
I refused to let them watch Hannah Montana, iCarly, basically the Disney & Nick shows depicting teenagers & silly family hi jinks. I just couldn't get behind three and four years old idolizing teenagers.
Have you always done Halloween costumes as a family, like the Fantastic Finley Foxes or the upcoming Ferris Bueller Fiasco?
For years it's just been the kids doing theme costumes. Then last year before MOEMS, Brad brought up all of us dressing up as Fantastic Mr. Fox characters. After I picked my jaw up off of the floor, costume planning & crafting began. It's harder now that the kids are getting older to talk them into it, but they were all for Ferris Bueller.
If you could vastly improve one of your five senses at the expense of completely losing one of the others, which ones would you pick?
Hmmmm, the more I think about it, the more I think I could give up my sense of smell, if I had to chose. Maybe it's because I've had three kids and numerous pets. Especially if I could make another sense improve. I'm cool with my sight & hearing, so I think I would chose to have my sense of taste improve. I know how wonderful it is to experience a bite or drink of something you love and maybe haven't had in awhile. To amplify that seems good to me.
What's the last thing you bought that you regret having spent money on?
I've been buying a bunch of stuff on ebay recently, but what kills me the most is the money I spent on four wigs (yes, four!) I had planned on wearing at Bonnaroo. I didn't wear a single one.
If you could have any exotic animal as a pet which one would you go with?
Even before Friends began, I had wanted a pet monkey for ages. And I wanted one even more afterwards. Yes, I know all about the throwing of poo & other nasty activities they have. But just look how cute they are!!
Lastly, and most importantly, how are you feeling about the CU v FSU tilt next Saturday? I'm getting plenty of (super biased) input from my FSU obsessed family so I want some fresh (probably also biased) insight from the other side of the coin.
As long as it ends up being a close, hard fought game, I will be happy. I do not want another repeat of last year. Unless it's us doing the ass kicking, which is highly doubtful. Night games in Doak Campbell usually aren't fun for opposing teams. I know, I've been to one where we got our asses kicked big time. I am wondering how much FSU is missing their former defensive coordinator. Our offense looked good last weekend, but it was against South Carolina State. It will be interesting to see which Clemson QB gets more playing time. Brad walked away from the game Saturday with stars in his eyes over the freshman Deshaun Watson. I really hope our defensive is still mad about the Georgia game, because I want to see Jameis eat dirt all night long instead of stolen crablegs.

Of the following Rhode Island delicacies, which ones have you tried so far? Weiners - no
Del's Lemonade (without booze in it) - YES Coffee Milk - no Stuffies - no Cabinets - no the clam chowder that's not New England or Manhattan - no I have some great reasons for more trips to Rhode Island.
What's your favorite things about South Carolina?
Clemson, peaches, Edisto Beach, Charleston, being so close to Asheville/Atlanta/Charlotte, the seasons, the mountains, downtown Greenville
What do you think of MMJ? Love them! Honestly, it took me awhile though. I remember them catching my attention when the movie Elizabethtown came out. And for Bonnaroo 2011 I enjoyed their set while in the pit line for Arcade Fire. It was after that when I started listening to them & the love affair began. Got to see them last year in Atlanta for the NCAA Big Dance concert series, and they were great. And so was the company.
How many CDs do you own? I don't know. I haven't bought an actual cd in ages. I got rid of a bunch a few years ago after I ripped my whole collection.
Do you wish Bonnaroo was held in a different time of the year? No, I like it just as it is. It's the week after the kids get out of school, so that's a big plus for us.
What's the fastest you ever driven before?
Maybe 120. That was a long time ago too. 90 is probably the fastest I have driven in years, and that was on the interstate coming home from Arkansas after my grandfather died.

Besides Ricky Gervais, who is on your free pass list?
If Proposition Joe leaves East Baltimore traveling at 60 mph, what time did you get up this morning?
When, if ever, did you first feel that you were a "grown up"?
Why did you unfriend the last person you unfriended on the Facebook?
Where do you usually eat breakfast?
How do you know the difference between being paranoid and being appropriately concerned that the police (or maybe it's just some random people?) may be watching your every move?
Besides Ricky Gervais, who is on your free pass list?
Brad keeps getting mad at me because I keep adding to my list.
If Proposition Joe leaves East Baltimore traveling at 60 mph, what time did you get up this morning? 6:59am is what time I actually got out of bed; I had been awake much longer. #nosleeptilever And RIP Prop Joe.
When, if ever, did you first feel that you were a "grown up"? When my parents divorced when I was twelve.
Why did you unfriend the last person you unfriended on the Facebook?
I started unfriending people, mostly people from high school, that if I were to see out in public, I would be probably not take the time to acknowledge. That's my barometer nowadays. And just to note, I live about 20 minutes from my high school. So I have seen those people & kept on walking.
Where do you usually eat breakfast? On weekdays, my desk at work. On weekends, the couch. I'm fancy like that.
How do you know the difference between being paranoid and being appropriately concerned that the police (or maybe it's just some random people?) may be watching your every move? Well, as a middle aged white woman, I never feel like police or anyone else is watching me. If I were to do something that warranted being watched, then maybe I could have some justification in my concern of being watched. Otherwise, I'm just being paranoid. Right? Right??????
On a side note, I have a mother who is mentally ill. I have lived my whole live witnessing her paranoid delusions, like that the FBI is watching her, that people were trying to take her kids away from her, that she was the only sane person around & everyone else was insane. After Brad & I started dating she got him on the phone & told him to take me to be institutionalized. It's a tough thing to watch and a tough life to lead & be part of.

I've had a rule ever since I've been here that if you ever hit a girl, you're not going to play on our team. You're finished. And we've had two players here - one was about seven years ago, the other was about nine years ago.
We're not going to have any player on our team that's done that. I can't understand why every coach doesn't have that rule and why every company doesn't have that rule for their employees. I think it could put a pretty good end to this stuff. Really, it's amazing that America has sorta put up with it or compromised, but that is something that should never happen. Our players know that they're gone if they hit a girl. They know it.
I would think that every coach would have that rule, but I don't think they do. I think some of them say, "Well, let's wait and look at the situation." And you do have to do that, but once you know it's happened, you do have to put an end to it.
How does it feel to know you probably agree with his stance on anything?
Do you like hockey? I don't dislike it. It's just not something that I've watched much of, besides when the Olympics is on.
What foods are you craving right now? (If nothing now, then recently?)
movie theater popcorn
What types of beer do you like the best?
Yuengling, Angry Orchard - I am not a big beer drinker.
What types of ice cream do you like the best?
Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate, Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, Haagen-Dazs Sorbets (Peach, Raspberry, Lemon)
Excluding sporting events, what is the largest crowd you've been in? Probably Clinton's 1st Inauguration. More recently the Rally to Restore Sanity.
See that person in the very back? The very, very back? Yeah, that's me.
Got lucky & scored a spot on the rail separating gen pop & VIP people. It was a fun day.
How much wood can a woodchuck chuck, if the woodchuck was high on PCP? It all depends on the dosage.
Woodchuck could be like this, running around like a mad-woodchuck, chucking all wood in sight.
Or it could go this way. You never know. Dosage, man.
Have you ever been involved in a dice game? And did you win any money? No. And I don't play card games either.
How much was a gallon of gas, the last time you filled up your car? $2.97
What Inforoo members have you not met yet, but really want to? I have been so very fortunate to have met & hung out with so many of y'all, either at festivals or concerts or brunch or pool parties. I hate singling anybody out, but I do look forward to meeting Flanz & Delicious Meatball Sub one of these days. And hopefully monster Saturday night!
Presume you're the matchmaker of the "Mingle If Your Single Thread". What Inforoo members (presently single) would you hook up together?
Dude, I stay out of the "Mingle If Your Single Thread". I do have a few people I am racking my brain over, trying to match them with the right person, but it's like birthday wishes. You say it out loud & it won't come true. Don't you know this, LD?!?

No, I had not seen that. I typically ignore anything he has to say. It's for my own mental health's sake.
How does it feel to know you probably agree with his stance on anything?
Well, I guess there's a first time for everything. But is it a coincidence that a cold front is coming thru this weekend? I think not. Hell must be freezing over.
Who was the first Inforooster that you met? moonshine3 in 2011 before I really delved into this place. I randomly sat down next to her at the back of Which to watch The Strokes, we started talking, and we hung out together until the end of the day!
mayonaise in 2012 as soon as I entered Centeroo that Thursday of Roo. We met up so she could give me my RooTu!
How did you decide on your childrens' names? My oldest is named for Brad's uncle that died in Vietnam and his middle name for Clemson. My middle child is named for mine & Brad's great grandmothers. My youngest is named for my Grandpa & his middle name is a common name found on Brad's side of the family.
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A doctor. All my life that is all I ever wanted to do. I started out Pre-Med at Clemson. Mono knocked me out of a 5hr Biology course & that started my second guessing. I wish I had stayed true to my dream.
How many bones have you broken? Broke 3 bones in left leg. Broke right knee. Broke 3 toes on left foot. Broke left ankle. Cracked three ribs.Broke two toes on right foot. Broke tailbone. I think that is it.
This is 6 yo Stephanie doing her end of the year baton recital in a full leg cast.
I went down to that also, with a friend of mine and her dad. We were on the left side and somewhere vaguely near 7th or 8th, whichever one was four blocks away from the stage - pretty far back.

Best film of 2014? Best record of 2014? Beatles or Stones? Should Scotland vote for independence? Should California vote for independence? What do you do if you can't sleep? Would you choose fame and fortune for something you don't care for or be a never appreciated genius in the field of your choosing? If you had 10 days in Europe, how would you spend it? Would you rather host a chat show or be a celebrity chef? Should gambling be legal? Should drugs be legal? Should alcohol be legal
I am disappointed by how few movies I've seen so far for 2014. Captain America Winter Soldier is a close #2, along with Grand Budapest Hotel.
Best record of 2014?
This is sooooooooo difficult, but, for me, I am going with my main man Ryan.
Beatles or Stones?
I love them both, but I am going to have to go with The Beatles. My kids fell in love with the fab four five years ago, when I found the old cartoons for them to watch. My youngest could sing Yellow Submarine in its entirety right after he turned two, and would sing it on request to whoever asked him to do it. I even made him a Beatles bedroom.
Should Scotland vote for independence? Yes, they should vote. As for how they should vote, I am not sure. I've read people discuss how it's the same thing as when America gained its independence from England, but I don't think it's the same. There are some big differences, and I worry for how Scotland will do if independent, but that is for them to decide, not me.
Should California vote for independence? No, I don't have a passport & I'm going to California in April.
What do you do if you can't sleep? Wait for Brad to come to bed then get up, go get on the couch & on the computer. That happens a lot.
Would you choose fame and fortune for something you don't care for or be a never appreciated genius in the field of your choosing? Definitely never appreciated genius in the field of your choosing.
If you had 10 days in Europe, how would you spend it?
Sightseeing NON STOP. Get Eurorail pass & see everything possible. France, Germany, Italy, Spain. Would definitely like to visit UK but I doubt I would have enough time. That would be for another trip.
Would you rather host a chat show or be a celebrity chef?
I hate cooking, so I will go with host a chat show. Especially if these kinds of things happen.
Should gambling be legal? Yes, I think so. Maybe. I don't gamble so I really don't think about it.
Should drugs be legal? Certain drugs, yes. Marijuana for sure. Heroin, I don't think so.
Should alcohol be legal
Yes. God knows we don't want to go back to prohibition times. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be standing with these women.
