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!!
What the best "find" you've made at Bonnaroo? You should consider scavanging the ground after a big set, theres so much stuff left over at the end, and its not stealing because they're not going to get it back anyway.
My best find was a sweet hand carved pipe. I still use that thing.
are you kidding me? i'm amazed that somehow i haven't been the one losing my sh-t...i think we found a semi-decent straw cowboy hat last year that one of my friends wore the rest of the weekend and still has, thats as good as i got
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
This reminds me--I've been wondering whether there's any sort of organized or semi-organized giveaway (or site for unwanted stuff) at the end of the festival.
I know I'm going to have stuff that I don't want to tote home with me: probably a somewhat muddy tarp, maybe hats or clothing, food, camping equipment I didn't like, etc. I'd love to see that someone who needs or wants it can get it.
I don't suppose there's any process for giving stuff away?
P.S. You guys have been lucky! I once helped a friend at a British festival collect a whole bunch of empty beer jugs for homebrewing, but that's the best I've ever done.
Great idea. I say stop by camp inforoo. If I have room in my truck and the stuff is durable, I can take some home and bring it next year for the "Helping Hands" program. I'll just throw it in my barn 'til then. But CHECK FIRST so everyone doesn't start just piling things up in camp.
Of course I could quickly become overwhelmed. Maybe others who live close can do the same thing.
Anythings better than throwing it away.

ive groundscored a 20 at roo and a 10 this past weekend at blossom blast. my only 2 finds. i have seen friends find lots of pipes though. last year i saw someone find a big ziploc full of a wad of cash and enough party supplies to make for one hell of a weekend. we estimated it to be a $3,000 groundscore.
I'm thinking I am going to be doing a lot of scavenging, especially when we are picking up trash after the police. I think there is a lot to be found, and I am def. going to take a bit of time to find it!

I accidently left a chunk of something brown and Lebanese at the What stage after the Dead in '04. I went back to find it but had no luck. I hope it was found and put to proper use.

i thought it was a valid bill as long as it has that strip in it. you can have more then half but if its the half without the strip your screwed. and before that i think you had to have 3 corners. i dont know why i think that but i do.
Not Mutilated Currency includes any bill that is CLEARLY more than one-half of the original bill, and does not require any special examination or investigation to determine its value. Examples of non-mutilated bills include those that are badly soiled, dirty, defaced, disintegrated, limp, torn or otherwise "worn out."
These bills should be exchanged through your local bank and processed by the Federal Reserve Bank.
Mutilated Currency is considered to be any bill NOT CLEARLY more than one-half of the original bill and/or requires special examination to determine its value. Most mutilated currency has been damaged by fire, flooding, chemicals, explosions, animals or insects. Another very common source of damage to currency is petrification or deterioration by burying.
Mutilated currency must be mailed or personally delivered to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Here is how to do it: (Source: US Treasury)

I figured there are secrets in each bill for both sides of the bill, so I figured that this could work as long as you have over half of the bill. It would suck if you had only 49% of the bill...lol!

I figure if I do find any ground scores, I will share with everyone around back at the camp site or around to the people at a show. It would only be right in my book.

Man, I found a bunch of awesome camping supplies and grills after Roo 1. and other assorted gear in the following years.
If you live around here and plan to scavenge on the Monday after the festival, be very careful and have a good alibi. There is some cutoff point Monday or Tuesday where they will cite you for trespassing if they catch you scavenging. It DID happen last year.
From what I learned, people from the outside were coming in and stealing the green bagged recyclables that belonged (more or less) to Clean Vibes. Clean Vibes makes funds for their organization with aluminum cans, not to mention that they do 99% of the dirty work at the festival. Kudos to them!
Another problem that has happened is people ransacking tents/campsites under the rationalization that they are abandoned. Also, property of Bonnaroo and Axis has been pilfered.
If you scavenge and come upon what looks like an awesome abandoned cooler, BE CAREFUL!!!!! Many a camper will use the empty cooler as an impromptu porta-potty. I call them Poo-lers.
If you are not in a hurry to get home on Monday, take a walk and keep your eyes to the ground. You may not find anything valueable but you may find some fun artifacts. You may find a keepsake or a souvenier for one of your friends who couldn't make it.

My friend Burger came running out of the darkness after he had been missing for about 4 hours sweating bullets yelling "I found 300 bucks." The thing is he wasn't telling us he was just telling anybody who would listen. It was fun watching strangers pat him on the back and be like "Nice find man" and "Sweet." His excitment got everybody in his immediate vicinity very excited for him.
I've sent in my application to the Real World. So I'm hoping to hear back from that. I'm putting A LOT of my eggs into that basket, the MTV basket. I'm also thinking about getting a gun, and dealing crack. Being a crack dealer. Not like a mean crack dealer, but like... like a nice one. Kinda friendly like, "hey, what's up guys? Want some crack?"

I lost 20 bucks on the boardwalk. Never did find it.....other than that, I never found anything worth picking up. But I also wasn't really looking. Maybe this year.
