Here is a newspaper article that was in The Saturday Independent (one of our local papers here in Manchester) about the many local groups that funds from roo helps.
LOL TYPO didn't anyone at "The Saturday Independent" thumb through the pages before releasing it to the public?
"We are working on a soccer field right now. The youth must wear a helmet or they'll be fined $25 each time they are caught without wearing it."
At first I was like "wtf? lol," but then I read back and saw that they converted a swimming pool into a skate park. But it seems a bit crude to fine people $25 for not wearing a helmet to run around in an empty swimming pool that costs 30 grand in Roo money to drain the water out for skateboarders.
Any further thoughts? Or am I just talking like a prick tonight? B.B. King has the key to the City of Manchester, those Manchesterites really should get his approval before they spend any money they get from the Roo people.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
Heh yeah I don't know why I'm so freakin nuts tonight...the Obama victory has warped my mind! It's gonna be so funky if tons of people at roo like last year are walking around wearing Obama t-shirts and stuff...because they'll be wearing t-shirts supporting the President!! Man what happened tonight is so amazing it hasn't sunk in yet. Sorry, I've gone off on a rant, but pretty much everybody else around here is gonna be talking about it in the morning.
I think they got the sentances swithced around. The $25 fine is if they are caught skating at the skatepark without a helmet. and its only if they are actually skating.
also, its not just an empty pool, they converted it into a full fledged skatepark with ramps and halfpipes and the like. Its a pretty awesome skatepark.
The saturday independent is known for typos galore every week. Maybe I should apply for proofreader position....
And dont forget that the "money they get from roo people" is not donations from roo people, it is the money that the groups make from selling (mostly) beer at the festival. So the "roo people" are getting something in return (beer) for thier money.
A guy that works with me works roo every year for the high school football booster club and they make very little for very long hard hours of work, but most of thier yearly budget now comes from roo sales....
BTW: We did ask BB, he was all for it!

ALWAYS tip the people who work the beer tents at Bonnaroo...they are usually working to benefit some organization like a HS football team or band. My mom works concerts here to benefit my little brother's marching band. It's NOT easy...they work hard and make little money. So always tip!
It always makes me feel good to know that Bonnaroo really helps out that community.
