Friday afternoon, my buddy Brian and I scurried up to the VIP bleachers at Which Stage to watch Umphrey's McGee. We found a couple of open seats, I looked to my right, and said "Hey, I recognize you! You're on inforoo and you're from Colorado, right?" It was Steel_City_X. We introduced ourselves and started chillin and trading stories and havin' a roo ole time. Another one of my camping buddies showed up out of nowhere looking for her boyfriend with some bad news. A gust of wind had turned his brand new shade canopy into twisted wreckage. Storm clouds were looming, and the canopy was my group's sole shelter besides huddling in our tents. Todd (steelcity), Catherine, Brian, and I headed back to the campsite to assess the damage and salvage what we could. Todd let us have some extra arch poles from his site which we used to make a new shelter out of the canopy cloth, an extra tarp, the extra stakes that we bought just for good measure on Wednesday night, and a whole shitload of rope. Within a few minutes we had a new shelter shaped like a small aircraft hangar that comfortably fit 8 people during Friday night's torrential downpour. Not a piece of it budged all weekend until we were ready to take it down. Todd, thank you SO MUCH for helping us out! Mad karma to you. Everyone give Todd some karma! He earned it. As for the wreckage of the canopy frame, we turned it into a lawn scuplture by affixing beer cans, glowsticks and rings, blinky lights, and water bottles with glowsticks inside of them. All the glowing stuff also kept people from accidentally walking into it or tripping over it. We named the scuplture "Charlotte". Pics when I can get to an SD card reader that works.
who did I see in wal mart wed. night with inforoo shirts on? I was the dready kid with an 07 roo shirt on who said corncat and bounced off. I was too spun to think properly.
Not an Inforoo story but I met one of my longtime best friends that I hadn't seen in over 10 years at Roo this year. You may have seen him. He was the dude with ass long dreds, selling Bonnaroo shot glasses.
He came up to me and asked if I'd like to buy a shot glass and since my wife's best friend collects them, I said sure. He stopped, looked at me and says "Tony!". I was like WTF is this and he raised his sunglasses and there was my old friend Steve. What a rush!
We hung out a bit and exchanged info and every now and again, I'd be lying in my hammock and hear someone yell "Fran Tarkenton is a girl." and know he was passing by.
(He knows I'm a huge MN Viking fan and in fact we went to a couple games in the '80's including a 20 below Cleveland game, so he always rags me about the Vikings)

This is not relevant to this year's Roo at all... but last year my friend in our crew actually met her randomly assigned college roommate for the following fall at the Roo. Imagine that... an already immediate bond months before school even begins! They had only just found out the names of the person a few weeks prior to Roo... so I thought that was pretty unreal. Lotsa magic happens at the Roo...
