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!!
well, i figured that with the vast wealth of information here, that people must have some good ideas on how to get through that week/couple days before a festival or big show, when you start getting so excited that you can't really sleep, are a waste of life at work, etc etc.
how does everyone handle it? do you walk the dog 10x a day? surf the internet for any/all things festival related? (this tends to make me even MORE anxious) force yourself to watch every DVD you own back-to-back? try and work 14 hours a day?
how bout secrets on getting to sleep? do you get real drunk? take the significant other and lock em in the bedroom with you for a few hours? take some NyQuil?
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!
Inforoo saved my marriage. If I didn't have an outlet, I'd drive my wife out of the house with my constant B-roo talk. Thanks guys. You're much cheaper than a marriage counselor (and much more fun!)

Drink, see local shows to calm my musical nerves, and play four-five games of disc golf a day to at least get a little exercise so I can fall asleep...

I mix cd's every year for all those in my party as well as some people on inforoo. It helps me stay busy, as well as be creative (as I create themes each year). I also take pride in transitions and the improv of trying to fit these 100+ roo artist in abox set like collection! Its also a great way to introduce myself to new music, find new favorites, as well as introducing my friends to new artist and finding a common concert we would all like to go to!
This year its the 7 deadly sins (200 7) although i wont use 7cd's. Last year had 6 with one being all the cafe artist! (yes I'm sick)
This year its.
Envy on My Mind The All Gluten Rock Diet I take Pride In My Sloth They Blame My Greed on Lust and Wrath (a comedy cd with roo comedianS)
I pace them out and hand to my friends the month leading up to the show!
It helps with those jitters!
I'm a roo junkie, and I feel like Inforoo is sort of like my resin hit! yikes!

I've been on here everyday pretty much since I discovered this place. So, this is my number one way to pass time. I also try to work as much as I can.
I seriously can't stop talking to about Bonnaroo with my friends. I tell them every bit of information I here on this forum. I bet it's driving them nuts.

Obsess and plan.....and obsess some more. You can never be too prepared.....and there are much worse things to spend every waking moment thinking about!
Lets see, well I am going to see Franti and Spearhead this Friday....
Going to Camp Reggae Labor day weekend.....
You gotta try to fill your time....
Look on the bright side, tomorrow we hit double digits on the number of days left.
You that doesnt seem possible, after today only 99 days left. It seems like thiings are going fast (feels like yesterday we had 150 days) but god d*** if it doesnt feel like another year away.
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!
as roo gets closer, I just don't effing shut up. i'm going to make every effort to not overplan like I did last time (cuz plans are effectively thrown out the window), but that's what i tend to do when I'm excited. I already know a few things that are on my to-buy list, just trying to not overdo it.
And yeah, inforoo is my new timesink. and we still have months to go. oy.
I just get excited for artist additions. Hopefully they add some in the next week or so.
I'm already trying to figure out when I'll put up my tent to waterproof it and figure out the optimal shade-tent configuration. Which, again, is out the window until we get there. lol.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this

I just rented the roo 2002 DVD from netflix, and have 03 and 04 qued up. They helped me to simultaniously psych me up for this year while calming the cravings ever so slightly. However, I think the DVD just made my wife even more jittery for Roo this year, so I guess it doesn't work for everyone.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
