Someone help me!! '08 was my first Roo and i got soo addicted it's killing me. It was a life altering experience. I think i have watched thousands of videos and i listen to Bonnaroo Radio everyday as well as get on here and the Bonnaroo.com to read what people have to say and add my own contributions when i can. I need some more people to hang out with when i get out cause everyone around me now says i'm Bonnaroo crazy and they are getting tired of me talking about it all the time, except my kids who just ignore me most of the time anyway. I live in Murfreesboro Tn about 30 min from the Roo so everytime i go outside and hear the interstate from my house i think about how i will be on that road in June heading to the most wonderful place i know. It's my "Happy Place" ;D. I got my ticket an hour after they went on sale. Even one of my best friends, who is the one i went with last year (it was his 5th or 6th time to the farm) might not go this year which makes me a bit sad. i dream about the perfect campsite all the time. One that can handle a whole bunch of my Roo family members hangin out at. I have been online looking up all kinds of cool gear for months so that i can buy stuff a little at a time. I could use some more input on what people think about my ideas. I do have other friends that are going but i might be riding alone . So if there is anyone who lives close and wants to hang out some time to talk about Bonnaroo and possibly go with me just give me a shout.
Ahhh Bonnaroo fever, I am in Nashville just holler if you are in town and want to stop for a beer sometime. If your friends aren't going though just make plans for camp inforoo it is a pretty happening place, and you won't ever be lonely.

I haven't been able to experience Bonnaroo-yet!-but posts like this make me superrrrrrrrrrr excited to finally get my chance. Hoping for the life altering experience you felt!
It's pretty much cut my work productivity in half. I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to just a new rumor, slight hint, full blown announcement!!
I'm in Nashville too, and I'm always happy to meet other Roo fanatics! You'll never be alone at Bonnaroo.... and I wouldn't worry about camping alone, it might be the best thing you ever do!
Fellow Murfreesburger here. I'm probably quite a bit older than you (47) but, hey, maybe we can get together next time there's a decent, live show in the Boro and talk Roo.
This is a completely normal condition. I talk about Roo about 9~10 months out of the year (september~november are the only dates I can process other thoughts). My solution was to start making more and more of my friends go over the years, that way they are talking about it to. Otherwise your friends are going to need alot of corn to be able to handle all the Roo talk

I feel ya bro. Just keep coming to Inforoo and posting, that seems to keep me from driving the people around me crazy from talking about Bonnaroo so much.
sittin in fayetteville here and i am totally the same way...been for the last 4 years and now my twelve year old says "banna-mom can I go to the bonna-movies?...whats for bonna dinner...pls wash my bonna clothes..." ddind bonna to everything is her way of saying "i am so sick of it already"...lol if your are ever close to the bama stateline i would share a corn dinner with ya hehe
I'm the same way and I haven't even been to one yet. 09 will be my first bonnaroo and it's all I think/talk about. I'm on this site every single day, sometimes a couple times a day. And I'm constantly searching the web for stuff to bring. I've been wanting to go for the past four years now.

no worries... last year was my first roo and for the last 6-7 months i've had to try really hard to control myself when babbling on about bonnaroo... the other day, i was wearing a new roo shirt that i had ordered online (the fiesta one) and someone noticed, "is that a new bonnaroo shirt you're wearing," since that's apparently all i wear... one of my other friends was around when someone asked me what bonnaroo is and even they commented that i have a lot of roo shirts... i was like "well, i only have four!" but apparently that makes me a fanatic or something.

I ordered presale tix and to feel better about myself I actively recruited two rookies and a vet to buy presale on hopes that Phish would headline... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I too have a problem and I am not sure this group of enablers is the best support group.
Hah im with you guys, ever since last year I dont think a day has gone by where I havnt thought of Bonnaroo or been looking foward to next year. If ya'll are starting an AA group then I would be in it for sure, maybe that would help with the withdraw im going through waiting for a big name to be leaked and the lineup to finally be released.
Since they announced that the lineup is going to be out on Feb. 3, It's all I can think about. I've been hyping to a lot of my friends since I first went in 2006 and have gotten 12 people to try it out and they all love it. This year I've only gotten 3 people that really want to and plan to take the plunge, but that just means 3 more people I can talk about it with the rest of the year. I've actually been having Bonnaroo dreams for the past week. I can't wait.

I am originally from Rochester. I lived there till i was 16 and i miss it from time to time as i still have a lot of family still there. As far as people from NY comming to the Roo i must have met at least 1 or 2 hundred people from NY last year. As a matter of fact our campsite neighbors were from NYC about 8 of them in 3 cars.

I hear ya. The Disco Biscuits are playing in Nashville in a week and i am really gonna try to be there. Warm ups help a little. I also start going through videos on youtube and such of Bonnaroo last year. I love the shows but i also really love peoples videos of thier trip as it makes me feel all warm inside to see the love of my fellow Rooers, my family!
Yah, I have a four day weekend right now. And it just hit me, DAMN I CAN"T WAIT FOR BONNNAROOOOOOOOOOO
This is ridiculous though, 2007 was my first year and I was so stoked when I bought tickets in Dec/Jan that I had to ban this forum from my internet usage from Feb->May.
Last year, I had tickets but did not know if I was going to go... so I only browsed this forum to download music from bands who would be at 2008 roo. Well... I ended up going (thank god) and haven't really been thinking about roo 2009.
When the 2009 tickets went on sale I quickly bought one, and haven't really thought of it since.
Last night a friend of mine who has not been since 2006 told me "Hey, Ima buy tickets", and the other was like... "yah me too".....
Crap, now my mind is only on Bonnaroooooooooooo D: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. So if there is anyone who lives close and wants to hang out some time to talk about Bonnaroo and possibly go with me just give me a shout.
;D
