we pretty much have everything we need. i am still looking for one shower curtain and i have to order the grill. just got bloody mary mix and box wine and a third cooler today (50qt, we already have two 50qt and it doesnt seem to be enough so we got an extreme 5day) still need to seam seal. and make sure all this carp fits in the car with the three of us. heh.
ive been so busy w/ work since school got out i havent had time to plan really. i packed up a general necessities box (sunscreen, aloe, ibuprofen, earplugs, etc) and made a list of stuff to get... gonna hit up the value village and the dollar store tomorrow with my buddy to get some more stuff. hopefully borrowing a tent and air mattress from the bf's dad this weekend.
I'm vain. Planning my Roo outfits for each band's show. Heheh. I modified a NIN Beside You In Time shirt to have corset lacings, and made it super tight. Planning a crazy outfit for Animal Collective and others, as well... Gotta think of something fancy for Yeah Yeah Yeahs....
God I can't fucking wait!!!!! Once a year, we all come together for awesomeness indescribeable to the outside world. It's insane.
Waitin' on the UPS man. Most of our stuff is together in The Pile, but I've got some sun cover caftans and a massive hat coming in the mail.
Also, we just hit up a bulk LED toy online store and spent a little more than we ought to have...can't wait until THAT gets here! My 4 year old and I will have to "pretest" some of those toys!
Probably a stupid question, but can you expound upon this a bit???
haha, last year i had a bag of jerky in my backpack and it was confiscated @ the gates of centeroo. the reason was "you cant bring this in." and i just kind of looked at the guy confused as he took it away. then the following day i had some corn in my pocket, two bags in fact, and instead of being taken they were removed from my pocket, examined, and then kindly stuffed back where they came from. so i just think its hilarious what they will take from you and what they dont care about.
Alright, so it's winding down, getting closer and closer... I need to:
Split a canopy with my group... a nice one.
Get the beer/liquor situation set up... make decisions on what to bring. I already know I'm bringing 24 PBR, 12 Dale's Pale Ale, and maybe a little thing of liquor.
I'm thinking of bringing a blow up mattress... anyone ever brought one of those to Roo? Is it a good idea?
Same strategy of bringing a few battery powered fans...
Since we have gone before we have had lists and made sure to modify them as needed. This year will be easier because it is just us (Ginger & Gene) in our camper.
Well we need to go grocery shopping, we have a excel spread sheet with all the items we need. It is broken down to Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and snacks. We already purchased the water, vitamin water, Gatorade and some other non perishable items.
Camper checklist, check tire pressure and lug nut torque. Also check your spare tire, it's the most important tire !! Start refrigerator, turn water heater on, check propane, get gas for generator, flush fresh water tank and system, grease wheel bearings.

Just reserved the RV, bought 2 Roo tickets, and 1 RV pass last night!!!
4th Year at Roo 1st Year with an RV
I feel like I have barely any prep to do besides pack up clothes and a canopy... with an RV we can just stop for food and drinks on the way and load it up... extremely excited about sleeping in until 11 and making breakfast before heading to centeroo...
Although, I'll probably miss camping... It's fun getting down and dirty all weekend... having a shower at my disposal for the first time in 4 years at Roo will be a totally different experience.
last night i bought a glow "party pack" and some other led toys... bought bubbles and streamers at the dollar store today!!!! also been packing up my body glitter/paint and making my roo dancing outfits!!! i turned 2 gold and silver lame' 80's tshirts into dancing shorts for girl talk!!!
is it bad that i have all the "fun" stuff but no tent yet?!
everything is finally dragged out into the living room in one cohesive pile, for the stuff it in the car test tonight. still need to seam seal the tent - anyone recommend a specific brand? also kiddo brought bubble stuff to the beach last month and got it gross - so it needs to be cleaned (just thought of that).
still no luck on a picnic blanket that is water-resistant on one side. booo!!!!!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.
Just bought another bladder pack and an inflatable mattress. I saw a decent little canopy for $100 dollars... planning on splitting that with some friends.
I've managed to accumulate most everything I need! All I need now is a lantern and a case or two of water to freeze. Got an 18hr drive ahead, so I'm getting any perishable food items once I'm in TN.

Can't really think of anything else.
I used a blow-up mattress in 07. It worked great, no problems at all.
I am pretty much all set, new coleman just came in the mail yesterday and my new tent was a breeze to set up, also I lined up a place to stay for a few days after Starscape. All I really have to do now is save all my money and not go to any shows which is very hard to do with so many good ones between now and when I leave. I am really bummed I have to miss Brothers Past on the boat tonight
