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!!
we have done it before. we plan to bring a couple hundered balloons to roo.
So I guess the couple hundred balloons all get picked up by people as well? Or does that trash not bother you?
You've been spouting off negativity this whole thread.
Do you know anything about a bonnaroo crowd? I know that my whole crew DOES pick up trash on the way out of the venue. I see a lot of others do it too. Instead of just bitching about the trash why don't you encourage people to pick it up? Or bend over and pick it up yourself?
and here's a link for USA made glow products if that's still an issue.

I know plenty about the bonnaroo crowd. And I pick up plenty of trash. But I dont pick up trash behind people who plan on throwing it to the ground. I concede that many of the glowsticks will be picked up and carried off but popped balloons? I highly dount that. Its kinda hard to pick up after yourself when you spread your trash accross the entire concert grounds. Popped balloons are trash. Worse than most trash.

Oh, so you only pick up trash that you approve of. Interesting.

No I pick up trash.
I dont follow behind people that plan an organized trash throwing party.
Trash at an 80,000 person event is inevitable. But there is a huge difference between someone leaving their water bottle or paper plate, and someone bringing hundrends of balloons to throw out. Try and wrap your mind around that.

wrap your mind around this...
Hmm, I'm done with my veggie burrito and my water, I'll just set my crap down right here, even though there's PLENTY of trash cans around, and just walk away...
or
Weeeeeeee! balloons ..... oh no it popped! Where did it go? I can't find it 'cause it's so dark and I'm so distracted by the kick ass show. Dammit! .......... OK, shows over and I can see.... OMG look at all this trash people left! I guess I'll pick up this losers plate and bottle he left behind, oh look some more plates, I guess I'll get those too. Hey lookey there, it's a popped balloon, I'll toss that too. Because that helps the whole scene.
So your saying I should pick up your trash that you are putting out on purpose?
If anything I should be proactive and attempt to stop you from throwing trash on the ground in the first place right?
hmmmmmmm
It's not MY trash, It's not YOUR trash, it's Bonnaroo trash. I, for one am willing to do my part. You?
Sure, be proactive. Encourage recycling, using the trash can, and picking up after yourself (leave only footprints, and all that). However, there are group activities that we all share in that make the 'roo experience what it is. Glowing stuff and other fun toys are part of that. does it cause trash? Yup. So what? If everyone does their part it's fine.
Just because your preference is to not participate doesn't mean we can't.
I'll make you a deal. You pick up one popped balloon for me and I'll pick up one empty beer cup for you. (I don't drink beer.)
just look at my avatar dude, i'm a fanatic at shows

while i would certainly not classify myself as an expert (especially compared to the youtube folks who i learned a lot from), i would be more than happy to show anyone whos curious every move/transition i know.
regardless, i will be more than happy to put on a little show for any curious parties, and really hope to run into other poi swingers to learn new nuts.
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

Why are you complaining about trash at 'roo? Theres an entire team of people there who's sole purpose is to clean up at night after everyone leaves. I'm not saying to litter just because someone cleans it up, but why worry about it? All the trash ends up in the same landfill no matter what you do.
its not like its anybodys personal property anymore anyway. when it actually belonged to someone, you would be throwing balloons all over somebodys farm... now you're just throwin balloons all over the bonnaroo site.
cigarette butts are the most common trash at roo, id think.... 20 butts a day per smoker on average.... thats a lot of butts!

cigarette butts are everywhere all the time. in roo and int he real world. i hate them and wish people wouldn't throw them on the ground. whenever i look at the ground i'm bound to see a butt
ya man the balloons get raked up with all the other trash. they rake the whole damn area. i always take care of my own trash. and some of what i can carry on my way of others. but the fact is that whatever is left on the ground isnt going to sit there ruining the place. it gets raked up by people employed for just that job. i dont think balloons is a concern for them.
this is just jason running his mouth about the same stuff he always did. how come hes not booted again? whats this, the 4th account hes on?

I'm a smoker, and while I can understand a certain amount of butts on the ground from careless/inebriated/unthinking folks, you can certainly plan ahead and take care of your trash. No trash can, empty beer can, water bottle nearby? Bring along a ziploc bag and keep it in your pocket for butts. It takes very little effort to take care of all the refuse you produce!

there are a bunch of us that do that - even if I don't have a baggie with me - I will still put it in my pocket until I get to a trash can

Glow sticks are lame! They were cool back in 96 when everyone ate rolls and listened to techno. I pray those tards w/ glowsticks stay at sasha & digweed and are far, FAR away from tool.
