I've quit talking to my non-roo friends and made a new roo friend. Thank god my gf is going or I would turn into a hermit who lurks on inforoo all day. When I get to work in the morning, it's the first site that I go to and the last site that I look at everyday. It's been like this since Feb?
A Thieve's Parade 2/24 Conspirator 2/26 Kevin Smith 3/11 Keller 3/17 Papadosio 3/18 JJ Grey 3/25 Bela Fleck/Edgar Meyer 3/26 Toubab Krewe 3/27 O'Death 4/11 Budos Band 4/22 EOTO 4/28 Summer Camp 5/6-29 All Good
Yeah I annoy the crap out of my boyfriend. In the car this weekend, I had phish playing, and I told him how excited I was for roo. He was like "I know. You tell me. all.the.time." I can't help it, it's my first roo and getting to see phish again makes it that much better (for me, at least). And while I don't look at it at work (I work for my dad, and I'm usually in his office with him, so it's a NO NO), it is one of the first things I do when I get up in the morning.
Man... I'm so pumped. I just read through the thread and all you people that are wigging out about how close it is and haven't even been to 'roo yet... just wait until you have to count down until your return. It's 10x worse (and better at the same time).

I wish I could put myself in an artificial coma for the next 20 or so days, wake up, and have it be time to drive to roo. That would be so awesome.

in nyc, right across penn station/madison sq garden, there is a fuse building with electronic displays that change with ads.
on my way to work this morning, i saw an ad for bonnaroo, with the circles, and dates, and gave a nice loud BONNNAROOOOOO!!!! right away and felt so good. i had the biggest grin on my face as i walked to work. got lots of stares, but its all good in ny.
I would, but I have to finish preparing! I'm making all my crazy Roo outfits.
Me too! it helps to quell the excitement...a little. not really. actually, it just makes me more excited. every time i pick up my fairy wings or make a new "piece" to wear, i get all happy and jumpy! this is my third time going, and i still think and talk about it incessantly from the time i buy the tickets all the way until the glorious second Thursday in June when i can shut up and just enjoy myself at Bonnaroo!! i'm just glad my boyfriend is as excited as i am about going he wouldn't miss it for the world either, he can just contain himself better than i can!
and to all of you first timers...welcome. you are correct to be going insane with excitement. this is natural. you are in for such an amazing time!!
oh, and to the OP...my advice to you is not to wait outside the gates before Thursday AM...go to the Wal-Mart parking lot and kick back in the pre-Roo festivities for the evening and then get in line Thursday morning. it's a good way to get the Roo party started before you even get on the farm...and the bathrooms are much cleaner!

jeeesus christ its in sprung into full force. Today i set up my tent to make sure it will not leak in case of rain. That worked great, but now im just ready to go and i think these next 20 something days are going to be the slowest ive ever encountered.
^ gonna do my dry run here this weekend. i've gotta find everything so i'll feel completely ready. i miss these threads when the roo gets closer. ;D a place to get my excitement out.

I tried to do that last Friday night but I ended up waking up Saturday morning with a headache.
I'm pumped as hell too... We definitely plan on getting the same camping spot as last year, which made everything a million times better... Come visit us at the front of Tent Only by the arch!
The only thing that I'm not crazy about is the long ass drive. I'm not a fan of marathon driving sessions.
new college graduate. jobless. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT THINK ABOUT ROOOOO!!!! HELP! all I do is stare at this website and itch myself waiting to be at Rootopia...
My crew and I are gonna paint our Tent with the colors of the puertorrican flag, so thats the level of excitement we have. we are gonna tear that place apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found this thread... perfect timing because I need to vent. I cant fucking wait. This ig going to be one of the best Bonnaroo's ever!!! My 4th Bonnaroo since 2006 My 1st Bonnaroo in an RV!!!!!
I love camping and getting down and dirty, and I almost feel bad for taking an RV, but God damn it is going to make bonnaroo so much more bearable... sleeping until 11 in ac, making breakfast, then going out for the day... and its with 6 of my good friends in a 7 person RV.
Jesus Christ!!! the MArs volta and NIN are going to blow my head off!!!
And thursday night... at first I had no clue who the fuck was playing, now Im a fan of nearly every artist... MURS, Portugal, Passion Pit, the Knux, Tobacco... Its only 3 weeks until departure... and my days off work I go crazy thinking about the shit... its hard to occupy free time when all I want to do is get the fuck up and leave right now...
Well... I feel a little better...Im extremely excited today because my roomie and I are both getting our tix and the RV pass... Bonnaroo ... here we come

im in the same boat, its driving me crazy. thank god i have another trip planned for a week that i'm going on soon otherwise i'd be a quacking nutjob by now.
Still need to get a nice canopy... still have the one from last year, but the people who brought the really nice one aren't going this year, so we need one.
That's it, really, aside from food, drinks, and personal accessories.
I look absolutely ridiculous with long hair and it takes quaking forever to grow but after roo last year i decided to grow it from nothing for the sole purpose of rocking it at the farm. I've been judging time waited by length on top.... but now i don't have much longer to make excuses in my head for it being a long way away! But seriously i look ridiculous...
^I've been contemplating lopping off my really long hair, as well, before Roo... I know what you mean. But I've had long hair since 2006, so I think it'd take a while for me to get used to it.
I just can't take the heat with long ass thick hair anymore.
I've got damn near everything I could need and several things I probably won't need at all. About to go roam around Lowes and find some of the last things I need. I'm so totally stoked. Every conversation I have with anyone eventually turns to Bonnaroo. It's like a sickness. A totally awesome sickness. BONNAROOOOOO
