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!!
For the past few years, some of us Roosters volunteer to bring extra supplies for those that can't bring a lot of stuff (flying in, greyhounding, hitching) so they won't be left short. It worked well enough last year that there has been interest expressed in giving this another try. So here we go.
This thread is a place for such people to request any needed staples that we who are driving in could easily bring. People can then PM each other and coordinate a meeting at Roo. This thread is here to help facilitate connections.
Here's how it works. If you need something, request it and someone will hopefully PM you saying they will bring it. Or see if someone has offered to donate it, Pm the donor and arrange a meeting at Roo. It's that simple.
Once a person in need arrives at Roo they can call their donor, find where they are camping and pick up their stuff (or arrange a central meeting place and time.)
Let's spread the LOVE!
Rules: Nothing illegal (obviously); Nothing expensive (Don't abused the good will) Remember, no one know where they will be camping. Be aware you may need to walk some distance to pick up donations. Once a donor/recipient have connected, please post and let me know so I can strike through the request and donation to help limit unnecessary and potentially bothersome PM's.
That's it. Request, Donate and PM away! Post your hookups! It's that easy!
To paraphrase "Let love roll down like waters and karma like an ever-flowing stream"

It's getting a little too close to look at this thread anymore. I fly to TN tomorrow and nobody has offered, so you can go ahead and take my name down. Me and my buddy decided we're just gonna get creative with some tarps, rope, and wooden supports.
Think they'll get upset about us bringing in a couple 8 foot long 2x4's? And a rubber mallet?
I doubt they will care about you bringing shade material. Shanty shade works as well as any other, IMHO. You'll be glad you have it.
One tip, be friendly with your neighbors and they will likely let you tie your tarp into their canopy (bring some zip ties). If both neighbors help out all you'll need is a 2x4 for the center support.
Sorry No one could help (and that I ran out of canopies.)

No worries man, that's some great advice. Hell, in the worst case scenario we put up 5 posts, tie it all off (anchored to the ground AND tied tightly to the 2x4's) and call it a day.
I could of asked for one of your canopies, I saw the post when you were offering the ones from the dollar store for 20-something bucks. I just figured it'd be a little too inconvenient to ask you to reserve one for me while I'm still in FL, and then to work out a meeting time in Murfreesboro in the last 2 days before Bonnaroo.
My friend who lives in Lebanon is a carpenter and does woodworking for a living, so at least I know he'll be able to manage a good shelter.
Thanks again, I would be screwed without this forum.
Ankh... I know this is probably a difficult thing to do, BUT.... if you want to camp next to me and the hubby.. we just bought a HUGE canopy/ezup and always share with our neighbors.... PM me and I will give you my number and let you know where we are camping... we plan to get in line early thurs morning.. in the past we have gotten into Roo @ 1-2 pm after a very long wait, but willing to meet with you and your friend if you want! ( we could even meet with you earlier and throw you guys in our Suburban so you can ride in)... let me know~!
