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'm treating my daughter to the Roo. She just got her 1yr medallion in NA. Might be a little intense for us both to do the Roo clean and sober. A little support might come in handy before it's all over...
First time Rooers. I had the high bid on the tix in a benefit auction. We'll be tenting in guest camping. Got a guest RV pass, but can't justify the extra $1500+ in addition to the tix. More room for someone in guest RV....so sad.
I know there is a group that meets that are NA. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the group. So I'm not help. There are folks out there that party at Roo and are sober.
If I remember the name of the group I'll let you know.

PM sent, but for others looking for info there's a current thread about this subject on the official site. community.bonnaroo.com/kickapps/service/displayDiscussionThreads.kickAction?as=12058&w=79174&d=15576 Basically there are several groups some affiliated with NA/AA and others that are independent, but all are there to offer mutual support for those people who choose to experience Bonnaroo clean and sober for whatever reason.
First year, I was in Pre Trial Intervention when I was at roo... staying sober at roo is much easier than it appears.
There is so much music and fun going on, that you'll barely think of doing anything. I had no problems staying sober... the corn, however, that was a bit tempting.
whats the deal with "corn"? Granted, i'm not as "hip" as i probably should be... I assume its slang for something.... weed? coke? acid? meth?
Not sure what you mean.....
I have had to adjust my diet as I've gotten older. I think I ate too much of some stuff when I was younger, and have to be judicious with some and had to stop some altogether. Wheat, shellfish, fried food, sodapop, certain mushrooms, some dairy products, corn and alcohol all fall into one of those categories.
Getting older has it's downfalls, but I wouldn't go back fer love nor money.

I'm a first time roo goer and I'm not NA, but I would think that the wharfrats have got to have some presence at roo. They are a 12 step group that meets up at shows. I think they grew out of deadheads on tour. www.wharfrat.org/
AA 3months - I want to go to a meeting there - do they have them?
I have not found out for certain, but the rumour is that there are. I only saw one post on www.wharfrats.com and that was a person looking for a meeting.
I'll take the advice given here and check at the main info booth in centeroo also.
I'll post here if and when I find where when and whatever. If y'all can do the same, that would be rightous.
Maybe we can meet up at the Inforoo Brunch and if there's not a meeting found by then, we can set up our own.
Much respect to you all. To be engulfed in all the debauchery that is Roo and abstain takes a great deal of will and commitment. Congratz to you all for being strong enough.
We're only allocated so much partying per lifetime. Some of us use it up faster than others. If you try to use more than your allocation, POOF, you disappear in a curl of smoke.

so you are saying I must not have used my allocation?
uhhhh - nope - I think I have used mine up pretty well - I can only handle this about once a year now.
I think it is great that ya'll are going and I hope you find a group to meet up with to keep you on your path

Y'all will do just fine. When you say "ear", we'll just pass it on.... ;D
No worries and no expectations of being treated any different. When I still partied, we had friends that didn't. We didn't give them hell, and they would just split if we were too "silly" to communicate with.
We are soo looking forward to this party. I'm trying to think of some visuals to bring to make the "silly" peoples cock their heads and go "Oh.....dude..." ;D
good luck tho!! 
I'll be good for my girl.
