I'm in for a 3rd year, 2nd VIP RV with my girlfriend, our baby daughter(she was in utero last year's Roo), her grandmother to play nanny and four more friends. Loved the easy in/out to centeroo, I saw so much more music in VIP than I did in GA. We're pumped.
Okay, I'm still in, but my brother Shawn is not going. Instead my friend Christina will be going with me. Here's a pic of us before the Kings of Leon concert in October.
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

gf and i decided today (after A LOT of discussion) that will do VIP again this year. Much of our problems last year were the result of the toxic combination of us having too much fun, and stuck-up neighbors. We would love to be a part of the inforooVIPcrew.
Oh no! What happened? The first year we went VIP, we camped next to a older-ish lady who only stayed for the days and left at about 10 every night to go to a hotel. Her and her friends would complain *really loudly* about us 'partaking' when we were back at camp, which was rare. Who goes to 'roo, pays for VIP and then only is actually there from 10 to 10 each day and bitches about people's party favors?
But other than that, we've had fantastic experiences in VIP, much better than the lot... We woke up to a guy peeing on our tent and then yelling at us for sleeping in *his* tent! Pretty funny now, but it wasn't so great at 5am on Sunday morning.
Last year was our first VIP roo and all of our neighbors were very nice including several late night/early morning sit down visits where several neighbors hung out under our shade tent and we all shared some corn. Even the couple next to us that we did not hang out with were very cordial. They mostly just sat around and had a lot of corn.

I'll be back in VIP at the RV section!
I tow this year is my friend Kellie and her boyfriend George, our other friend Kelly, my friend Vlad who I somehow convinced to go VIP for the first time in the 3 years he's been going, and possibly some others that I'm still working on. And of course...my dad is coming along again...he loves Bonnaroo (we're actually getting matching Bonnaroo tattoos at some point!)
No mom this year though . She has lupus so the switch to the extreme humidity of TN mixed with walking around all day really started to take a toll on her.
Gene & Ginger will be there..we will be staying in our camper like years past, but we are going to the RV show this weekend to look at a new motorhome. We have had our eye on this one, so who knows...we might have a new rig going to Bonnaroo this year.
We might have another friend joining us. He will be riding his motorcycle down from New Jersey and meeting up with us. He might not have a date so we might have a extra ticket.

I have a pretty big list of Alice related links and ideas. I'll try to get it organized so that it's readable (total chaos right now) and post it. Also have an idea for making mushroom stools that can be used both for storage and seating.
The EL wire needs a power source. You can get it with a power source already attached, but it's more expensive that way. Or you can get it seperately and attach the power supply yourself. It's cheapest to do that yourself, which involves soldering. But there is also some that comes not attached, but can be attached without soldering, and that's a bit more expensive. We're using the plain wire and doing our own soldering for our costumes, because we need alot of the wire and we need to be able to break it up. If you only want a small amount and it's all going to be a continuous light, the pre-fab stuff is probably a good choice. I'll post the links I've found for EL wire in a bit.
Hey - one half of the '08 Electric Mushroom girls here. We have some ideas for our theme...wondering if we put together a list of some things we were thinking about if everyone staying at the Taj Ma'Tarp might be willing to take responsibility for one or two items so the SassMobile isn't overrun with all things Wonderland?

Okay, this is really long, but hopefully helpful. There is not alot of affordable, specifically Alice in Wonderland decorative merchandise out there, so taking what there is and turning it into something else seems like a cheaper way to go. Everyone please add suggestions and/or comments and then maybe we can get a master list going and split it up if people want. Here goes:
Cheshire Cat light boxes - The idea for these would be to take a small, clear plastic box. Paint the sides and back black, afix the sticker to the inside of the front, and attach an LED body light to the inside of the back of the box. Open the box to turn on the light, it'll glow through the vinyl sticker and make a cool light/decoration (theoretically) Could have a string or wire attached for hanging. I haven't found a source for cheap boxes yet that doesn't require purchasing a jillion, but it's out there somewhere. Could probably be done for about $5 each. There are other AiW stickers on ebay, but I'm not sure if they are translucent like these.
teacups/teacup lights - plastic teacups from kid's play tea sets. Could be decorative hung on their own, or if anyone feels ambitious, you could get a set of LED Christmas lights, drill holes in the bottoms of the cups, and make them into a light set. Probably best to look for these at a local thrift shop.
signpost - like the one in the Disney movie, but put Bonnaroo in all the directions, put outside the Taj Ma Tarp, maybe with an Alice cutout, if we can find or make one...hang a glowstick or something from the top...
pink flamingos - It would be great if we had a couple stuffed hedgehogs to go with the flamingos, but I haven't seen those anywhere.
playing cards - could also use playing cards to make a light set, just pop them over each light. Also an easy costume to make. You could make it with EL wire lighting up the spade or heart or whatever on the card if you wanted.
mushroom stools - get a five gallon bucket, spray paint it however you want. That will be the base of the shroom. Then you need a circle of plywood. Use one of those floral arranging balls, cut in half, glue to the center of the wood cricle. pad around and over that to make a mushroom top shape. Cover with fabric, staple fabric to underside of wood circle. Then staple the lid to the five gallon bucket to the bottom of the shroom top. Attach the top for sitting, remove to store stuff in the bucket. We could bring multi-colored sharpies and just set them by the entrance to Camp Taj ma Tarp and let anyone who wants to decorate the bases. Cheesy, but fun!
so last year in vip my neighbor was amy grant and vince gill's kids (all great people and invited us to hang out multiple times)...anyone else ever had a vip camping celebrity encounter
And of course, we need a hookah smoking caterpillar. Haven't found one yet, though.
i will humbly volunteer for this position
and your list is amazing. i was thinking about mushroom stools as well, and you have a good idea for making them.
my opinion is that we (the collective we) bring a lot of stuff to roo each year. so stuff that is purely decorative, should be flat and pack easily. light boxes are a great idea. really, anything that involves some assembly during the hot sun hours is great!
i am all about helping out and having a the best site possible. we probably need a second thread to keep it all organized... that way we can keep track of who is bringing what.

Agree with the keep it flat and stuff that can be lazily assembled while sitting around in the sun. I figure I'll use some camp time to write "Drink Me" on all of our beers...
i might need to re-read this book to get ideas. all i think of is tea, the mad hatter, and a mirror.
huh... i bet we could have a "mirror" that's just a frame and some foil. or a tapestry frame.. wait, got it, might be silly: take a white sheet, one that would fit in the frame of an ez-up tent - paint a frame on it, use foil for the mirror (glue it on?) and cut a hole in in so people could walk through the looking glass.
Post by viciouscircle on Jan 18, 2009 18:37:47 GMT -5
That would work! The only thing is that the foil will bake us if it gets any sunlight, so it would have to be well positioned. Shouldn't be a problem, though.
If you want to get a quick review, not as good as the book but better than nothing, you can stream the movie at surfthechannel.com. It really helps refresh the memory.
