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!!
in 06 at radiohead. this guy was obviously goofed out on somethin and was dancin around with a huge mag light in his hand. eventually he just lost it and chucked the mag light into the air as if it was a glowstick. some people nearby went up to him and were like "hey man thats not cool" and this dude was like "what! what! wanna go?! wanna go?!! lets do this!" and stripped down completely naked and started egging people on to fight him. had to be escorted out by security. the horror aspect is the poor guy that got nailed by the mag light or the people that almost had to fight this naked guy.
They let him bring a MagLight into Centeroo. They won't let you bring in an umbrella but they let you bring in a heavy ass flashlight? That doesn't make much sense IMO.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
This year will be my first Roo but the people I'm going with have been going since 06 and this happen last year. It's not a horror story in the traditional sence but nonetheless could be a scary experience. Apparently there were a bunch of kids at Roo last year and two in particular were these little like ten year old kids with blonde dreads and no shirts. My friends said they were all whacked out on fungi and those kids came up to them holding lassos and lassoed them together and started maniacally laughing. Who know's where there parents were but it really freaked my friends out and kinda ruined there dose. I'm trying to keep the horror to a minimum this year but this will not deter me from finding the fun.
HAHA I love that kid. I see him at festivals all of the time. He is so much fun. Last year I was helping him fill his water gun. His parents are nice too. I don't think there is anything wrong with him playing with people. I think there is a problem with people not being able to handle it because of drugs.

I can't wait to hang out with that kid again.
Wait, so you really don't see anything wrong with a parent giving a 10 year old kid magic mushrooms???

I think (hope) THEY were his friends, not the little kids

I remember that guy (though I didn't see him chuck the flashlight), stomping around naked whipping people with his shirt. When the security came up behind him, grabbed the back of his head and drove his face into the turf the whole crowd cheered.

Read the post again. I think what the OP meant was that his FRIENDS were all whacked out on fungus - not the 10 year-olds. At least, that's how I read it...
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "
i cant believe all the people saying this is the first time ive heard jerkstore. anyone ever hear of seinfeld?
Personally, I HAD heard the term used and have seen the Seinfeld episode like a billion times. What I said was that I had never heard it used as an adjective to describe someone who hit other people in the eye for no reason. The other people that commented on that were, I assume, also saying that they had never heard it used in that way either.

I think it's more amazing that in a discussion of a cultural reference somebody would have so little self awareness that they would let themselves embody the derogatory term under discussion.

And just to clarify....the kids were not on NO NO WORDS. I guess I could have phrased it a little better but it seems like most got my point. And to the point about my friends not being able to handle it (it being a strange kid LASSOING YOU TOGETHER while...well you know) I guess they were knee deep in the "crazyland" and it freaked em' out. What can I say. It such a personal experience so I can't really judge.
"There is an ancient celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public bar-room, and you will quickly see: Bad people drink bad beer. Think about it."
I dont know if anyone remembers this but this one kid at bisco 06 lost his mind and with this wild look in his eye just started swinging his fists hitting everyone around him then soemone hit him in the face really hard and he left. Then about 5 min later he comes barreling into the crowd from the side and started doing the same thing I'm pretty sure some kids dragged him out and beat the nuts out of him and then handed him over to security. lol, I saw him a week later a bisco show in jersey and he had a serious black eye, like swollen shut and I asked him what the hell happened and he got really defensive about it and walked away, I thought that was pretty funny. good thing is I havent seen him at a show since then.
This is particularly funny in light of your comment above about how Metallica and Kanye West playing Bonnaroo was a horror story. But of course, heady bands like Bisco would never bring the bad vibes, right brah?
Tell it like it is Bi atch I have to admit I thought the same thing. And say what you will Metallica was awesome last year and this is coming from a 41 year old HIPPY who has toured extensively with both the Dead and Phish. Kanye ...on the other hand.....did NOT portray a good 'roo vibe irreguardless of how I feel about his music He personally was lame Metallica was not. James was way cool with the crowd very respectful and thankful for being there brought forward a great show with an incredible setlist (old shit) and befriended the crowd to his band , I thought. Hell and Kirky even came out and jammed with his good friend Les at the superjam I mean they DID the Bonnaroo thing and I was real glad they were there.
I don't care what you say about me, just spell my name right---P.T. Barnum "As I was walking up the stairs I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish to God he'd go away."
This isn't really a horror story, but it did suck...
After the awesome, rain soaked My Morning Jacket show last year my friend and I made it back to camp and found that my tent had been jacked. Someone removed all of my stuff, pulled the stakes and TOOK the entire tent! I had to crash in the bed of my truck for the remainder of the festival. It sucked at first but I still had a great time. After all, they did leave my stuff behind.
A guy that was camped next to us had his cooler stolen, and another guy camping with us had his back pack stolen... and it was full of clean clothes! He had to get through the rest of the festival and the ride home without a change of clothes! He made a good time of it though. Hopefully we can keep all of our stuff this trip.

As for the kid running around flailing at Bisco...
My brother and I were the ones that dragged that kid out of the tent. We did not punch or injur him. The first time I grabbed him by his throat and took him out of the tent and told him to stay out. Once he came back in, I put him in a arm bar and dragged him out of the tent until I found security and handed him over to them. Nobody punched him in the face. If he had a black eye a week later, it was from a separate incident. Needless to say though, this kid was the most out of control piece of crap ever. I clearly remember him having big white sunglasses.

Maybe it's not a horror story, but it was f'ed up:
The Tool show in 07 was insane to say the least. I had to get out of the crowd and get some air. I finally found some grass space way in the back and layed down and closed by eyes for a minute. When I sat up, there was a baby carriage next to me, with a wide-eyed little girl starting at me and all the my glow bracelets. I looked around, but there was no other adult in site who seemed to own the toddler. Despite the fact that I wanted to get back into the mix, I felt completely responsible for this child. So, I entertained her for the remainder of the show, until her whacked out mother finally came back and just wheeled her away. I was stunned. But I was glad I was there, at least.
