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!!
<---gullible and smug . also i am definitely not a group thinker....if i were i wouldnt say i am happier at other fests that arent bonnaroo..on a bonnaroo message board.
It's easy enough to latch on to one thing, one turn of the phrase...like you just did...and assume it sums up the whole thought. Any monkey or fundamentalist can do that.
I see what many of you write, yet I would feign to assume that this sums up your entire beings. Anyone can write, anyone can write in private. We don't have the social dictates and rules of true interpersonal communication on these computer boards.
Just like that blogger that so many are going to or already disdain. It seems so obvious to me that she is just trying to be funny and comedic, meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

^ okay thats fair...you have the right to think that she is trying to be 'funny and sarcastic' which i actually got when reading it as well, and i have a right to think that shes being obnoxious while doing so...its all a matter of taste and i dont have a problem with you bob, i really dont
wow definitely not the bonnaroo type. I enjoyed bonnaroo so much I can't wait to go back.
It's great that you had a good time and can't wait to go back. We all love Bonnaroo. Having been to every one and seen the festivals evolution I would like to make a comment on your comment.
The very first one, and my favorite one, was soooooo much different than the fest you see now as far as the type of people who attend. There were more granolas, wooks, neo-hippies, crusties, gutterpunks or whatever you want to call those people. If you were at the first one, I think that many people would have looked at your green hair and said," Wow, definitely not the Bonnaroo type." And you, correctly might have replied "I didn't know there was a Bonnaroo type." Dreads were more the hair of the day at Bonnaroo I. What is hair???? Just hair.
By the way, the first was my favorite because it was the first and new and novel......unreal really.

Yes, you are right too. It IS just a matter of taste. I understand you completely. I generally find "cynical" humor to be a bore but for some reason this struck me as funny....maybe because it seemed so WRONG.
I mean, that is why it strikes a cord. It is not particularly genius or novel but it seems so WRONG and counter to what people often perceive as the group.....vibe...for lack of better word.
In real life, I probably couldn't stand to be around a person like that, i am much to mellow and laissez faire but a blog is not real life and I highly doubt the blogger is as obnoxious as she makes herself out to be. I am sure it is an act. If you read back on some of her other blogs, you will find an allusion to her desire...or dream of doing stand up comedy.

ehhh... I could see some attempts at humor throughout that blog. But, as we all know... the internet is one of the worst places to give a sarcastic, yet hilarious and light-hearted first impression.
It's really not clear that she's joking in the blog if you just read that entry. Without knowing she has dreams of being a comedian (a very worthwhile mentioning, Bob... so thanks for doing that research) it's very difficult to clearly see that she's just joking and putting on a "show".

^^^^^^^ This is worthless research really but if you waste 5 minutes like I did, instead of being outside like I should, and explore her contents or library or whatever it's called, she does have a link to a personal disclaimer
my first thought was "raving bitch" which progressed to "self important moron" and that morphed into "waste of flesh".
if she is trying to be funny, its just not. "Not to insult my fellow festivalgoers, but I’m assuming that none of them have ever even eaten crepes" whatever. DIAF.
the other funny part of this blog is Bob's reply to the posting - that was funnier than the blog itself.

I see her attempts at humor, but that doesn't change anything about what she's saying. "There’s absolutely no reason to talk to a stranger for more than 30 minutes." ...I don't even know what to say. I love how self righteous she is about getting wasted and not partaking in druqs. And I'm so sure she got baked from all the second hand corn. "Luckily, a gaggle of friendly homosexuals gave me a bottle of water and nursed me back to health." Oh, they were homosexuals? Ok good to know. That changes everything. This girl sounds like the biggest Ann Coulter.

don't forget they were "friendly" as opposed to those kinda of homosexuals who are mean and evil

^^^^^^^ Ha, ha....is this Pee Wee Herman? ^^^^^^^^
Well, it seems she is already taken so marriage is out of the question. I am probably too mellow for her anyway. Whatsamore, I will talk to ANY stranger...and longer than 30 minutes if need be.
I have to say, redheads are my favorite. Redheads are the true masters of the Universe.... as a fellow redhead I know these things.
Anyway, I don't really believe most of what she is saying in the blog.
my first thought was "raving bitch" which progressed to "self important moron" and that morphed into "waste of flesh".

Oh dear, I feel sorry for you. Have you deduced so quickly that she is a "waste of flesh?"
You sound like.....well, her.
Are you sure you are not a misogynist?
Lighten up a little......or did she somehow personally affect your festival experience?
I wish she was in my group. She would've been useful in weighing down our flagpole. Plus, with the loud obnoxious screeches likely to come from her mouth after tying her to the flag it would be easy as pie to find camp at night.
And then I'd eat a crepe right infront of her face.
As you can assume, I'm Liz, founder and author of your favourite blog, mondaybear.com.
First off, I would like to thank you all for visiting my blog. My analytic report stated that there was a huge surge in my traffic in the past two days. Great job, guys.
As much as I appreciate those of you who actually -got- my blog (and thought it was funny, on top of that), I completely understand the fact that not everyone understands my sense of humour. It's totally fine. I'm not going to argue with you, because we all know what they say about winning a fight over the internet...
As you should have gathered after reading my disclaimer, no, I am not an egotistical Ann Coulter. I am, however, a happy redhead with a facetious sense of humour.
I had a blast at bonnaroo, and I'm definitely going again, against popular demand. I met a lot of great people there, and I saw some of my favourite bands. Unfortunately, a blog about how how great everyone was isn't as entertaining as a blog about how lame everyone was. The news does the same thing-- talking about how tomatoes are packed with salmonella as opposed to vitamin C.
I don't feel the need to defend myself, but I would like to defend my fiancee. He is a 6 foot tall, 150 pound computer programmer. Not too intimidating. He's never gotten into a fight in his life. But the dude at the concert whom he hit was more than just "rude" and "accidentally" knocking me over. He was belligerent, he grabbed me several times, and knocking me over was the last straw. Defending my honour, Matthew hit him. Unfortunately, the dude was too wasted to feel it.
You can say what you want about my blog. Either way, you're talking about it. Thanks again, Bob, for your support. I love readers like you.

Yeah gutsy move, and I think what happened here was a lot of us got a direct link to your story not your homepage, and had some misunderstandings. In all fairness we had a person from another blog, write a non-sarcastic story recently which included some very pointed and naive comments about what Bonnaroo "IS". So I just want to say after looking at the rest of your page and the post, I do look at the entry in a different light. Thanks for joining up, and welcome to the community.
