Thanks LIGuy. I kinda liked seeing everyone's opinion on this subject. It seems pretty positive for the most part. I'm not afraid of a little conflict. Maybe I'll get to stretch my mind a little and open up a few brain cells I haven't seen in a while.
I like to give a karma for a thoughtful and helpful post on the 'roo board, or a comment that makes me think about something in a new way.
Karma fountain is open. I give my point for this hour to you LIGuy! Plus, I really like your pirate get up, especially your monkey. ;D

Thanx! Can't ya tell I am stoked for the new Pirates movie coming out? Anyways, carry on with the karma talk.
Well, sorry folks. Ironically I'm moving the KARMA FOUNTAIN to this thread, the one that was started in revolt of the KARMA FOUNTAIN. Here's the rules but I'm gonna add a new rule please read:
KARMA FOUNTAIN: Rules and Regulations The rules of the thread are that you give the last person who posted a message karma and then post a message and someone will give you karma. (unless you keep posting over and over again, than the karma goes to the rightful owner who hasn't recieved it yet). All rules are subject to change. Void where prohibited. The fountain will take place rain or shine. We do reserve the right to withhold or revoke your karma if any rules are broken. All rules are not really rules and you do not have to follow them. Karma fountain is a registered trademark of inforoo. All rights reserved. Copyright 2007.
NEW INFO!!!!! We are now currently adding a new addition to the rules and regulations. When you post your message please write us a story about Bonnaroo, a story about you, a story about anything, a favorite quote, an angry message towards me or the fountain, a friendly message towards me or the fountain, a friendly message towards another poster (please no angry messages towards other posters =EDIT 3/31= or SMITING towards other posters), or really truly anything else you see fit. Under this rule you may NOT just post only to get karma. If you do this you will be breaking the rules and therefore your karma may be withheld or revoked.
More info and additions to come soon!!!!!
(oh and you don't have to give me karma for posting these rules and regulations)
MAY THE KARMA FOUNTAIN LIVE!!!!!!!!! Happy posting

This is my favorite rule, so I think I will stick to it.
I will give you a karma from the fountain 'cause you did put the time and energy into making all the rules and getting that capyright and all.
It was such a pretty spring day here today that I vacuumed out my car and left the doors open to get the spring air smell in there. I guess I'll go mop the pollen off the dash tomorrow. hehe
I've said this before... for anyone who truly believes in karma, you don't want to be positive or negative. You reach enlightenment when you are perfectly balanced.
Now, obviously our karma system is a bit different than true Buddhism. But, it's kind of funny that so many people get so hung up on it. And to contradict myself, knowing full well that I will never achieve true enlightenment, please don't smite me!

True enlightenment? Have you been to Bonnaroo yet? I know that I've reached true enlightenment there every time I've gone. If you don't achieve true enlightenment at Bonnaroo I think you might be doing something wrong. Anyways, hope you achieve it this year!!!! And karma to you. ;D

haha.. yes, I've been to Roo (05 & 06), and I've been very happy... but there's a difference between being very happy and reaching nirvana...

Kevin, I think you're tring to bring intelligent thoughts about the true meaning of karma. Do you realize what kind of board the inforoo board is? Yeah, there's a totally different kind of karma here. It is just a silly ol' karma FOUNTAIN where we come to play and not be too serious about things cause we are really just waitin' around for 'roo time to come! I do appreciate your reminders of what the real stuff is all about! Karma fountain karma for you in an hour.
illyb, I tend to agree with your spirit of glee in memory of the great Timothy Leary since we are discussing "roo karma. And my hourly karma fountain point goes to you, 'cause you're the one that posted last.
*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.**
^^^now, that's some real karma--I think you may even get points from the karma fountain in the sky for doing that.
You still get my karma for the hour point right here at the inforoo karma fountain, too.
Here's another idea that comes from another inforooer (you know who you are): Buy up a bunch of $1 rain ponchos at the dollar store and give them out when it starts to rain at a show.
In 2005 when Sunday rolled around I noticed that I had WAY too much water and gatorade leftover so I decided to give some of it away on Shakedown. It was the funniest thing ever, people were like "Wait, you mean it's free, like there's no catch or anything, I don't have to buy something else from you." or I got alot of people who were like "OMG GATORADE, I haven't seen that all weekend!!!!!." then they would all proceed to grab there beverages as if they were in a refugee camp and drink them down like they were in the desert. It was amazing, some people started giving ME free stuff back in return (including goodies ) Probably one of the happiest moments I've ever had at Bonnaroo. The funniest part was that my girlfriend was handing out candy like starburst and stuff and those Shakedown people devoured them like monsters!!!!!. Hilarious stuff!!!! If you ever have way too much stuff at Bonnaroo do yourself a favor and give some of it away it's amazing the responses you get from others. It's worth it just for that!!!!!

I just brought lunch for our secretary (she prefers that title over assistant, so don't get offended) because she had a bunch of errands to run over lunch.
Now, if my real karma goes up for that, does it go down for bragging about it on a message board?
^^^I think your karma should go up either way - that is a nice thing to do
I have no good karma story today - my karma in real life has taken a negative turn somwhow because I have to put of $500 on a new radiator for my van and have someone fix my dishwasher that is leaking - not sure what I did to deserve both things at once

Please, no one "exalt" me for this:
Last year, my gf and I brought hundreds of glowsticks, glow neclaces/bracelets and flashing/strobing light-up balls to Roo. We just walked around, giving them away. At first, when we would offer them to somebody, they would just say "no thanks" and continue what they were doing. After we explained that the toys were free with no strings attatched, people's faces lit-up and they were like "Really? Free? Cool, Thanks! Happy Bonnaroo!" It made us feel good...and it was kinda funny watching their expressions change so much. We've always made 'gift bags' for our four immediate neighbors with stuff like glo-stuff, disposable cameras, hand sanitizer, ponchos, lighters, papers, bubble stuff, Roo related mix cds and various other toys. Strangely, for the first two years, we didn't get much of a reaction from most people. So, last year, we just annoymously left them in empty tents. It was cool, listening to people find them and be like "WTF?". So we'll probably do it the same way this year too.
This year, look for us. We'll be handing-out "Dum-Dums", glo-stuff and other stuff on shakedown. Happy Bonnaroo!

Just wanted to give a throw out to him. One of my all time favorite comics. He died on April 1st sadly enough. The world will have one less laugh without him.
