Well. As a lot of you know by now, I'm not going to make it to the farm this year. I finally gave in and sold my ticket, so it's even more official now. This is, of course...pretty much completely breaking my heart.
SO. Before you all head off on your merry way... I'm gonna need you all to do a few things for me while you're there! ;D So here are my requests:
1. Take lots of photos! I want to see tons and tons when you all get back. ESPECIALLY make sure to take photos at the brunch. Like a big group photo. 2. Girls, rock those Target dresses and all the other cute clothes we've found, made, tie-dyed, and whatever else. And do try to get a picture of everybody on Target Dress Day! 3. Twitter lots! I'm following quite a few people already, if you're tweeting from Roo and I'm not already following you let me know or something. 4. Tell DJ JD I love him! Haha. Seriously though, if he makes it to the brunch like he's supposed to, somebody tell him I said to say hi and that I really enjoyed the clues or something. Because I did love them and I want him/whoever's in charge to know how much fun we all had with them. 5. Jump in the fountain. 6. Dance like an idiot. 7. Eat arepas, gyros, frozen lemonades, burritos, $1 grilled cheese, and all the other yummy roo foods we've all spend the "off-season" drooling over. 8. Rock out extra hard to Gogol Bordello, My Morning Jacket, Ozomatli, !!!, Battles, Vampire Weekend, and Ben Folds. 9. Enjoy yourself extra much at the bands for whom "rocking out" might not be the best description - the Swell Season, Death Cab, Rilo Kiley, and Newton Faulkner especially. 10. Girls: Attempt to flirt with Ben Gibbard, Ben Folds, Eugene Hutz (if you're laughing, go watch Everything is Illuminated), Ezra Koenig, and whoever else I'm not thinking of. Um, but don't do anything creepy. 11. Guys: Attempt to flirt with Marketa Irglova, Jenny Lewis, and whatever cute girls I'm not thinking of. And don't you do anything creepy either. 12. Dance with cute boys or cute girls or whoever you want to dance with. 13. Enjoy the Silent Disco, the Sonic Forest (if by some miracle it's back?), and whatever other crazy stuff you find to enjoy. 14. Make sure to yell "BONNAROOOOOOOOOOOO" and also "COOORNCAAT!" 15. Say hi to each other and have fun at the brunch and all! I hate that I won't get to meet you all, so every single one of you had better go to the brunch and meet everyone! 16. Grin like a madman when the sun first comes up, when you first see that line of traffic, when you first get to your campsite, when you first hear the rolling "BONNAROO"s, when you first walk through the arch, when you first walk through Centeroo, when you first see the fountain, when you see your first show, and all the other "firsts" that make your brain go "OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY HERE." 17. Think of me, Becca, Strum, Clairity, Wooz, and everybody else who can't be with you. 18. Be safe!
And this last one isn't so much a request as it is a demand...

wooozie too!!!!
thanks for this plasticpepper.
i agree with all of this...id like to add - stay up all night, be kind to eachother, make new friends, enjoy every moment, eat a organic corn dog (they are so yum), meet a fellow inforooer, enjoy your time!!!! and come home safely <3
Although I haven't met any of you folks before, somehow I feel that Bonnaroo will be a little less without the Inforoo regulars. But we'll all do our best to send the beautiful vibes to ya'll.
You got it! I'm really sorry that you can't go...especially since we discovered that we were actually by each other at Paolo last year. We'll beb sure to share our experience with all of you who can't go when we get back.

girls be beautiful and dont stop smiling is my only request.
edit you forgot MIA
edit in a few days i get to yell Bonnaroo in Bonnaroo for the first time and not feel like an ashat because i A) Am not in Bonnaroo and B) Have never been in Bonnaroo.
Wow, it's sad to read about somebody not getting to make it, especially somebody who had to sell their ticket, but the way you describe all the little details is beautiful. I'm a first timer and I've been super excited forever, but this literally gave me chills. Karma for making me even more excited than I was before. So sorry you can't go. The second I step out of the car I'll let out a super loud BOOOOONNNNNNNAAAAAAAAARRRRRRROOOOOOOO!!!!! just for you.

Aww. We'll miss all of you guys! Drat. I'd really been hoping to meet all of you. You've been so helpful and nice since I've been on the boards this year. Next year, I hope!

^^Making any appearances at the Pavillion this summer? I am hoping to attend a couple shows there, but I've only got one ticket for Sept. 2nd set in stone ;D
We're going to miss you, Pepper! I was so looking forward to meeting you. Definitely will send you a picture of the Target/Any Dress meetup ('specially since you initiated it)!

Decided to save my money. No shows at the Pavilion of performers already at 'Roo. So far, that mainly leaves Emmylou Harris and George Thorogood. Who knows, though. I might still make MMJ!
;D ;D
I'm on it.
