hey,
i just pulled out my bonnaroo shirt from last year, and remembered how i bought it - some guy walking around the campsite was selling them for $10. it's the same design as the ones inside centeroo, but on tye-dye, which i don't think was a choice inside (although i'm not sure). anyway, i was just wondering - why was he selling them so cheap? is it stolen? a shoddily made copy (although it's fairly nice)? do people tend to sell bootleg merchandise at the 'roo?
you can normally find bootleg t-shirts for about $10 - but be wary - sometimes the dyes are not set - or there will be bands listed that are not playing - or bands listed twice or their names mispelled

I have a bootleg from 2002 and 2006...they serve their purpose so I'm cool with them. but like post whore said , sometimes they ARE bands listed who didn't play at bonnaroo. my roomie got a shirt like that last year (although who the artist is has left me). either way.

Lots of walking vendors selling bootleg shirts for cheap. It's definitely the way to go if you know what to look out for. Saves a lot of money, especially if you wait until Sunday
Man I wish Bonnaroo would get rid of their shirts like Ultra did! On the last day of Ultra, they were having an "EVERYTHING MUST GO!" sale and me and Tareq got our shirts for $5 apiece. That would be awesome!

The bootleg shirt vendors at Roo do the same thing.

ummmm - you talking about me???? ???
well...you are the post whore around this place aren't you?
I have always got the bootleg ones in the camp ground but they have alot of typos somtimes depenind on what group made them...like 2005 it said "josh" stone and I think the same year it said string cheese and incedent on different lines like different bands...but they do serve the purpose like was said earlier

If you want to avoid the ink fading or running just iron the hell out of it when you get home. The heat is what makes the silkscreen ink "cure" that is set into the fabric and not fade.
Don't wash it the first time with any good clothes either.

i bought a shit off ebay for cheap that said "time for bonnaroo" and had a clock with red eyes, I am not sure if its a bootleg or not, but i plan on wearing it for bonnaroo.
I got a sweet tye-died bootleg in the camping area last year for 10 bucks, it was maroon and black w/ some blue and tan in it too, definately different and it has been pretty sufficient as well!

what would the bootleg guy do if you were like hey man this band is spelled wrong, or this one isnt here this year etc lol ill prob try this, look at the back of the shirt and try to swindle him
I don't think bootleg guy cares....and for 5 bucks I wouldn't care either. The shirt itself is just a reminder...something that will spark nostalgia as you remember Roo 08! The shirt or any other object can do the same thing if there is an association to the event. Doesn't matter if it's a 5 dollar shirt Monday morning or a 50 dollar sweater the first day there . No matter which, you'll still have the memory the event. Look up ^^^ and see how many people said "I remember buying my shirt...".
