So I spent the past week on vacation in Canada...mostly in Prince Edward Island. One day we took a little sightseeing cruise type of thing with a very awesome tour guide type guy named Erich. At some point Erich went around to see if anyone wanted their picture taken...there were only like 4 or 5 families/groups...he came to my family first and the first thing he said was "Nice Bonnaroo shirt!" I was so amazed to find a fellow Bonnaroovian way up on PEI. And it's the first time I've actually had it happen. I try to wear the shirt at times when I'll be out and about, but I never have any luck. On this trip I was going to wear it earlier but that day we were going to be in the car for a good part of the day so I decided to wait for a day when I'd be seeing more people...and I'm glad I did!
I always hear people saying that every time they wear a Roo shirt somebody mentions it and it has NEVER happened to me before this...so now I can stop feeling left out! It's hard enough to find 'roosters up here (I'm 1000 miles from the farm), so I couldn't believe I found one on PEI. And he said he and his friends DROVE to Bonnaroo (he went in '06). At a rough estimate I'd say that's at least a 24 hour drive. Impressive!
It didn't occur to me until too late that I should have asked if he was on Inforoo....probably a long shot but just in case I figured I'd post here and see. So, are any of you people Erich from PEI (or does anybody know him)?

I haven't taken my wristband off(don't plan to either) and not a single person has said anything about it aside from my coworkers. Either I need to get out more or Cincy really is that lame.

i still have mine on, and no one has said anything to me either. I even wore it on a trip to Long Island - through the airports and all, not one person! Though I had several people ask me about my lip ring (including a pilot), and I've had it for 4 years!
the guy I sat next to on my way up had a moe shirt on, and overall he looked like he could have very well been a roo person - eh! i should have asked!

I was at a Rush concert on Saturday. I saw someone with a 2006 Bonnaroo shirt, and I thought he won. Then later I saw a guy with one of those bootleg Metallica/Bonnaroo logo fusion shirts, so he won.
Also saw someone with a Rothbury shirt, for the record.

My friend went to backpacking through Asia last year. I was on the phone with him while he was in India and we were talking about Bonnaroo. You will never believe it, but he saw someone with a Bonnaroo shirt on while he was talking to me. I couldn't believe, but it happened. Talk about a small worl.
The saturday after Bonnaroo i wore a shirt out to the bar where a local band was playing, and within the first hour, i got 3 bonnaroo acknowledgments.
The Tuesday and Thursday after All Good, i went out to the local bar, same situation, so many people there weere at All Good, and Thursday the band was included in that. Pretty cool.
I a roo encounter down the shore, i was wearing one of the shirts and walking to a bar with my sister in laws and an older couple approached me, asked if i went this year, and gave me a high five without skipping a beat...My Sister-in-laws stood in shock, so that was the coolest part.

Cinci isn't lame... I would definitely give you a shout-out if I saw ya
Last week I was in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. While walking through the Saigon Market with my shirt on I I heard a BOOONNARRROOOOO!!!!! I looked around to see where it had come from. I look across the street and two asian guys gave me the nod, threw their hands in the air, then walked away. It's not the first time I've gotten the Roo acknowledgement but it was by far the weirdest place to get one.
I BONAROOOOed at a guy in a Roo shirt as we passed on the escalators in Detroit Airport a few weeks ago. Two problems: (a) I was in business clothes so he was just looking all around to see where it came from and (b) I forgot to lower my phone before yelling so my wife got it right in the ear.
After a tool concert, I had a pretty long conversation with a very good looking woman (the conversation being initiated by my bonnaroo shirt). Damn, she was smokin'

Yah actually Cincinnati is where I had my first post-Roo encounter. I was at a concert there where I saw a couple of guys wearing Bonnaroo t-shirts. Naturally, I went up and talked to them. We had a lovely conversation.
My first Roo encounter happened at a Devendra Banhart show in Dallas Texas. Had my shirt on and a guy approached me talking about Roo and about how he had seen Devendra perform in Colorado and what I should expect....he then preceded to score party favors from me....sadly i had none. My latest encounter happend 2 days ago at Blockbuster in Little Rock Arkansas. A girl checking me out commented on my shirt and told me she had been the year that Radiohead played.

I bought my son a beeeeautiful Roo 2007 shirt ...the one with the green and orange summery colors of a sun with the bands all around it...wish I had it . But he loves wearing it and gets 'rooed' quite often.
I saw a guy wearing a roo shirt this weekend. We were at The Madison Roots Festival. Naturally, I gave a big bonnarooooo and the guy just looked totally confused. The girl he was with even asked something like "who was that?" Oh well, I tried.
i lost my money at harras in NOLA to a guy wearing a roo shirt but didnt really say anything to him, i wore mine the first day and after a guy knocked my out of poker came over to me and talked about roo and all that, made me feel less shitty losing my money to him.
Spotted at least a dozen Roo shirts (including a Clean Vibescone) at Radiohead on Sunday night at Deer Creek.
I was at that show! It was my first roo encounter as well. We arrived way early and went to the back parking lot. There was a guy (Brock) and a few girls who were tailgating. They all went to Bonnaroo. Brock was still wearing his wristbands (he had one from rothbury as well).
We all watched the show together and we had just met in the parking lot an hour before! It was all very reminiscent (sp?) of Bonnaroo, and it just got me more excited for next year.
also -- this is the first time I've even looked at this board. I didn't know it was here!

Welcome to Inforoo, Jaybone. Here's some Karma to get you started.
Are you in the Indy area? I came down from Fort Wayne.

Hey thanks!
Actually I stay up in Northwest Indiana (Chesterton specifically), right by Gary and Valparaiso, if you're familiar. The Deer Creek venue was about 2.5 hours away, but Radiohead was so worth it.
I've run into several Roo-ers this summer. Either I was wearing my shirt or they were wearing theirs. Anyway, having on the Roo shirt is similar to riding a motorcycle. You always gotta give the other guy a "hey". Last weekend in RI, I met a cool couple at the Newport Folk Festival who were at the Farm this year.
