I might as well formally throw my hat into the ring, so as to not be perceived as a troll in this quality thread.
Ben V. 27 Denver, CO IT Security Engineer 6'1" 180lbs 420 and good beer (I have one in hand at most fests), no tobacco and rarely liquor
Introvert, but I've learned to play a half-decent extrovert. Logical, but heavily influenced by artists and creative people in my life. I ski hard during the winter (37 days this past season) and run/bike during the summer. Pretty fit by most standards. This will be my 4th Bonnaroo, first year doing VIP! I'm traveling solo this year as I've done for most fests. Allows me the freedom to meet cool new people and have fun at my pace.
Top 5 shows I will attend no matter what: Elton John (doh!) Phoenix Disclosure Andrew Bird Darkside
I should probably add that Real Estate, Warpaint and The Glitch Mob are three more I will be seeing no matter what. Gotta have priorities!
Warpaint It's weird, you're like the only person I've seen who actually plans on seeing Real Estate at Roo, I'm getting the vibe that their show is gonna be somewhat sparse. Am I just crazy or is there like no hype for them? (I should note I'm not actually planning on seeing them either lol)

I've really liked their last two albums and I've never seen them play live. They are the only band playing at 7:30 on Friday that I want to see, so might as well give em a chance.

From what I've heard from those who have seen them on their current tour, their music is good but all in all, the performance is nothing too exciting. But if you have nothing else, then definitely check them out. Although I'd recommend MS MR

Naw MS MR will be a snoozefest. Best go check another set.

I'm really not expecting to be blown away by the performance of the century, but it will be enjoyable music that will be a great way to start the weekend!

That image brings back memories of sex education in school. When the teacher brought in a pink unicorn and told us to learn how to put on a condom by putting it on its' horn. Good times.

Your sex ed sounds as weird as mine. We had a giraffe (yes, you read that right) named Harold take us out to a window-less van in the school parking lot to teach us these things. And people wonder why I'm so f'ed up.
It was also a drug awareness program, and we each had to practice different ways to firmly say no. Eventually my friend got to the front and shouted "fuck you, giraffe! I don't need your stupid pills!". Harold didn't know whether to tell him if he should or shouldn't have said that.

I had to watch a goofy video in school about puberty that barely touched on sex itself. It was abstinence only, so the message was basically "This is sex. DON'T DO IT!"
Then my parents gave me a book about how God says that sex is for married grown ups only. Again, no actual details.
I got the talk when I was around five from my mother - in as graphic of detail as a knobbie-headed five year old can process...but graphic enough that I was sworn to secrecy, her forbidding me to discuss with any of my classmates these sooper-sekrit pearls of 'grown-up' knowledge. She explained that she felt I was ready to know, and that only parents can know when there children should be told just how boys and girls are different, and what that difference is there for. She told the truth about everything.
So, fast forward to first grade when our teacher proceeds to exhibit a VHS on the definition of, ramifications and potential perils pertaining to, and the preferred method of dealing with: "BAD TOUCH". Us wee ones were not informed of the subject matter of the promised film - just that is was movie time, "so everybody gather 'round" and sit on your bottoms.
Quickly ascertaining the drift of this informational flick, I became alarmed, remembering my Mother's admonition to keep this particular tidbit under wraps. I quietly stood up from my spot in the sitting circle, unplugged the TV and calmly explained to my teacher how she was wrong to spill the beans and that her Mom was going to be mad at her when she got home.
Let's just say that for a while my 'special place' was standing in the corner of the room, face first.

GABFRABtastic as usual. Good thing I didn't look at that whilst on the company dime.
You're guys' sex ed stories make me wish I had cool stories to share. The only thing I remember was when I started my period in 5th grade I thought it was something that never stopped (really glad I was wrong about that!). I was so confused. Then when I came home my mom had brownies ready for me and I ran to my room crying.....
