Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Those who claim you are not experiencing the true roo if you shower need to keep in mind that some of us have already experienced what it is like to go without certain ammenities and we don't need the "novelty" of going through it again to remind us. As to the comment of avoiding the crap of our daily lives, showering is the last thing that bothers me about my daily life. Sorry but I love my showers and plan to use them. Feel free to grunge it if you like, it will not bother me.
i have long hair, if i dont wash it at least once over those 5 days itll turn into a rats nest. am i less of a roo-er because of it. no, cuz its effin bonnaroo who cares what everyone else is doing. everyone gets soo wrapped up about everything bonnaroo, but the big secret is, once you get there, all this hype, all this talk, all this planning, wont matter at all. and everyone will just go with the flow.

What's with all the hostility about friggin' showers? I don't think anyone on these boards purposely said that you're not a true Roo-er if you don't shower. If they did, then I'm sure it was a JOKE.
Anyway, everyone is probably going to clean their bodies somehow, shower or no shower.
Pay $10 if you want to...I plan on using a wash cloth and a bottle of water for my showers. I'll enjoy a "real" shower when I get home and don't have to pay someone for water!

The good 'ol Emerald City. Nice to see another Pirate. I knew I was bound to run across one.
ya i think too many showers is making people too sensitive. i dont think anyone really cares about other peoples shower habits at roo. for most 10 dollars and 10 minutes is much better spent on a fat burrito and some gatorade to recover. but if you prefer a shower then go for it. im sure showering at roo is an adventure in itself.
EDIT-- and its also nice to know that if i take a header into the mystery mud outside of porta potty row i have someplace to go handle that.

I think I'm gonna try and give them a shot atleast once during the weekend. Showering makes me feel good. But I definitely will be doing what I've always done everytime I've gone and that's sponge baths!!!!!

Tell me about these troughs...? Are they made for people who are getting water to drink, etc.? If so, I'm not sure i wanna be that guy who has a washrag down his pants and back in the water as others wait in line.

I've been to every roo but one and I wash twice a day once in the AM and once as the sun goes down. Feels good to be cool and clean. And the troughs are FREE! You're still part of Roo if your semi clean.

brilliant! except there would be a large quantity of naked people with strangely shaped bodies, or worse......OLD bodies.
They were $10 last year and unless you wanted to wait in line forever I suggest going really early in the morning. The drawback to that is that the water in the tanks hasnt had a chance to sit in the sun and is ridiculously cold. Not like refreshing cold, but almost unbearable cold.
Trough are just that, long sinks with faucets that you can wash at. The water is well water so it is cold, but I think it is fantastic!!! There are pics around somewhere.

I've never taken a shower at Roo but, this year I might. It seems like it might be a great way to prepare for latenight "festivities"! I thought that I had read that they only offered showers in the morning last year. Someone tell me that's not true! PLEASE!
This is from 2002 so the setup is nothing like this now, but I just love this pic for the memories it brings. I took it early Sunday morning as I was working in the medical tent across the way. I had spent all night in that tent and took this pic as I was getting ready to leave.
you know, it just hit me like a bolt of lightning...
the best way to combine getting clean without missing any part of bonnaroo...
the silent SHOWER disco!!
seriously think about it, you get a big room with a bunch of shower heads and washing accessories, and get a bunch of waterproof headphones, and everyone showers together while listening to their headphones and boogeying down! and everyone can even SING in the shower without interrupting anyone else!!
i would definitely clean myself if this was an option ;D
hahaha holy shit karma for making me laugh...and at the same time...not bad!
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
1 st Roo we bought a shower at the shower station for like $10 and it was very good. A little wait in line and co-ed showers. Showers had individual stalls with shower curtains. I showered nude and had no problem it was great.
2cnd and 3rd Roo took portable(zodi system) heated shower with shower tent. Was great we showered 2 x a day and felt great. We shared with all the neigbors as long as they went and got the water for the shower. People loved it and shared their goodies with us and such.
This year going VIP and plan on showering 2x a day in the morning and in the evening.
It really makes you feel fresher and gives you a pick me up, but to each their own with showering. I could care less if you stink or not. I just love hanging out with all.
