My biggest concern is my roo virgin friend. She is so not an outdoorsy kind of girl and is completely new to all things roo. I want her to have fun but she is stressing bout the bugs, the tent, the heat, etc. Also she is really into major planning and doesn't handle changes to the plan very well. I am working on getting her into therapy! (j/k, i figured roo would be like therapy)
I've been in panic mode for a week now. I bought 7 tickets for 6 friends and myself and 3 of them backed out last week. So now I am stuck with 3 extra tickets because they are refusing to pay for them. This is the last time I buy the tickets for the whole group. Ugh... less than a week to go!

Just don't let worrying about someone elses happiness lessen your happiness.

I'm in the same boat, I was looking forward to doing Roo alone this year (imagine that) simply for the reason that I won't get caught up in someone else's mood, whining, or generally bad time. But my best friend decided to come too, and I am super-happy about that. However if he starts to have a crappy time I will "detach" from him. This means I maintain my own good attitude and good outlook regardless of how he feels about everything.

Detachment. It works.

Thanks for the good wishes. But I will be fine. I'm an active member of Al-anon. It's a support group that helps friends and families of alcoholics and addicts deal with them. One of the basic premises is that noone holds a mortgage on our happiness, and just because everyone around you is miserable it doesn't mean you have to be. My mind and thoughts are mine to control, and in fact it is the ONLY thing in life that I have control over.
I have Roo worries because this year I am pregnant. Kind of affects the activities I partake in, and I don't want to be the party pooper of my posse, and I also want to have a good time. I need to eat regularly, will get weird spurts of energy and the extreme fatigue and I am prone to overheating. Good times.
I am also worried that some of those in my posse will babysit the crap out of me. I don't want people worrying over me and encouraging me to stay at camp and all that jazz. I know my capabilities and if I have someone mothering me I may go postal. Don't MESS with a pregnant woman!
I know I can take care of myself - find shady places to rest, flirt myself up the line at the water station or porta potty, I just don't want to cramp anyone's good time or have someone trying to be nice cramp the crap out of mine.
LOL, glad to see someone else infected with roo-itis! Monday I completed a huge project. Tuesday I figured out that I had screwed it up. Re-did it and then screwed it up again. I NEVER have this problem. Just three more days to make a complete ass of myself around the office and then I can just make a complete ass of myself in front of you guys.
I'm practically dysfunctional at work. I can't keep my mind on anything but Bonnaroo.
Trying not to pass judgement here but what makes you think you "deserve" $5 from people? Hey, if some folks want to give you a handout so that you can go to a concert, that's cool, more power to them (and you I guess).
But I find this rather odd. I'm not sure how I would react if someone asked me for money because they didn't have a ticket... ???
Harsh.....
You dont know the sweet little hippiething Dani like we do. Ive got 5 for ya Dani!!!!
i don't know dani but if i see her i will throw in a 5!!! Its in the spirit of 'RoO!!!

Today, a project that I have been working on at my job for almost 18 months was canceled and all I could think was "Great! Now I don' t have to worry about this AT ALL next week."
My panic is revolving around everyting fitting the car properly. There are just two of us but it seems we're bringing a heck of a lot of stuff for two people.
My panic is a couple things shared by several others....MONEY!! But i was also going alone this year so i didn't have to "babysit" anyone or make sure they were not just following me cause they were friends from out of town who i hadnt' seen in ages! Then i had some buddies of mine around here decide they wanted to go so now my lone trip to bannaroo is a 3 van caravan!! We will have a blast though i am sure....how can we not? Also my four year old is getting a little cling-e lately and she is not diggin the idea of stayin at Gran's for 4 days! Oh and dani i got 5 on ya!
I've been in panic mode for a week now. I bought 7 tickets for 6 friends and myself and 3 of them backed out last week. So now I am stuck with 3 extra tickets because they are refusing to pay for them. This is the last time I buy the tickets for the whole group. Ugh... less than a week to go!
POW! Don't you just love it! I found out today that 1 of my friends doesn't have the money to go. So now I have an extra ticket too! This has happened 3 times before (for various reasons with other friends) 1 year I sold it on I-24, 1 year I sold it on Ebay and 1 year I sold it about 100 yards from entering the site. I'll probly try Ebay again and then the side of the road as a last resort!...... Good luck to you in selling yours

work? waddyamean work?? I am at work now...and all I've done since I found this message board a month or so ago is spend all my time at work reading these threads!! I am so happy to be unsupervised!! and by the way, whats $5? Look me up dude, we'll feed ya too!
I have no panic except that my house may permanently smell of corn now, what w/ all the "cooking" I've been doing for my InfoRoo Brunch contribution over the last few days...get their early if you want a taste!
Oh and Dani, I dont know you...but if I see you I'm good for $5 for sure. It's all about the karma baby!!

I'm ready to dive in. I wish the diving board was closer than 6 days from now .. A pool of smelly, awesome people and musical notes floating around on little boats

"$5 for Dani."
I'm gonna write that on a piece of posterboard and hold it up briefly while I'm standing outside my white Ranger P/U truck at the gates during the search. If you see it Dani, come over and I'll give you $5.
People are talking about selling their extra tickets... there's still a slim chance my Dad could hook me up with some comp tickets from his radio station, we are still working on it. In that case, I will have my ticket to sell. How easy is it to sell on I-24? I feel like it might be a bit late for EBay or Craigslist.

this is what im going to tell my friends as it is my first roo and i have, what well call a history. ill be good for most of the weekend but there is going to be a point where i let my friends know if i go MIA for a few hours, not to worry ;D
Dude, I seriously can't concentrate on anything but bonnaroo right now. . .It's to the point where I'm poking myself in the eye with foreign objects. . . I think I just need to be sedated until Tuesday. . . . Dystopian Dream
I LOST MY JOB TOO!!!!!! I'm broke!! Definitely a lot of panic going on over here... HOWEVER-------------I have faith. and hope. and 'Roo is going to be amazing. We will all be okay..
Gas is cheaper in Tenn. than here in NC, so gas I'm not too terribly concerned about, but it's still going to blow. My truck is being worked on Monday, so I think I'm paranoid about it being ready for the long trip. Other than that I'm just concerned about having cool neighbors, weather, and traffic situations. One week from right now we'll be waking up (possibly, haha) for the first full day of Roo!!!
see what she can afford, and if people are as generous as they claim, offer your paypal to inforoo to offset the difference.
