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!!
If you are remembered for something after you die what will it be?
If you had one large bucket of water and everyone at the inforoo brunch was on fire (except yourself) who would you pour it on?
What is your favorite number?
I couldn't think of a good answer to this one at the moment, although it's a good question! For now, I took a quick online quiz and apparently I was a redheaded warrior from Mongolia who was hung for treason... so that's my answer until further notice
Hopefully I'll be remembered as someone who always took advantage of opportunities and lived life to the fullest, and had atleast a decent sense of humor on the side!
If everyone is on fire then you're all fucked. I'd use the water to prevent it from spreading and catching the rest of the 80,000 people on fire.
42. Oddly enough, that was my favorite number before ever picking up the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Would I still be quacked in this hypothetical fire if you knew I brought down some Wisconsin microbrews?
Also: does your month end June 1st, or after you've had it for 30 days, or what?
maybe... but I mean, you'd be on fire dude... Do you really think you'll have the sense to start bribing me with beer? Well... you have always been one to have your wits about you, so you probably would. So, since nobody else has bribed me with anything to save them yet... I will save kdogg from the burning fire of Inforoo's demise and use the rest to prevent rest of the farm from burning down
Since Strum just started, maybe we'll give it to July so then we can make it even for the rest of the time.
Edit: Also a question. What band will you avoid at all costs at Bonnaroo (there are no wrong answers here.)
Yeah I figured with Roo taking up a week and whatnot it'll end up being about a month's time anyways but I don't mind at all whenever it ends. It is kinda fun to log in and see questions though!
And to answer your question... I was initially going to say Coheed & Cambria, but I know that there's potential for Warren to come out with them so I can't say I'd completely avoid them if I hear Warren's guitar coming from afar... So instead I'll go with Shadows Fall. I will most certainly not be anywhere near their set
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

^^I'd tell them to hang on cause I know some mad hot chicks that were lookin for a 30 ft RV to party in and then find the wookettes that tried to steal my beer earlier in the day and tell them those guys over there were givin away free beer and doses. Then I'd sit back, crack open a brew, and laugh hysterically at what happened next

^^That would depend on what I snacked on and who's playing, as well as which stage. In general, I'ma have to opt for left of the soundboard though. But occasional trips to the top of the hill are a must!
If you could resurrect five people from all of history, who would you pick?
Have you ever been arrested?
Who's your favorite ninja turtle?
Would these people be old and decrepit as if they had never died or would they be resurrected in a youthful manner? I'm hoping the latter, and my top 5 would be, off the top of my head: 1) Jimi Hendrix 2) Jerry Garcia 3) John Lennon 4) Franklin D. Roosevelt (So he could advice Obama, obviously!) 5) Thomas Edison
Yes, I have been arrested but didn't spend a night in jail. I almost wish I had, just to have the story. But instead I was just told to go back to my hotel room. Damn those underage drinking laws...

I think that Warren jamming with C&C is pretty much a guarantee. I'm looking forward to seeing them without Warren. Preferably with.
You said earlier you were obsessive compulsive about the toilet paper deal... any other particular things you're obsessive about?
Most awkward... hmmm... Well, it wasn't awkward at the time but looking back it was really awkward. During my sophomore year in college I was visiting some friends at UVA one weekend for some fun times and debauchery. After many drinks my friends informed me that it's apparently a mandate that you have to streak their lawn before they graduate, but he had no intentions on doing so. Obviously I convinced him that he had to do this and get out of his shell a little bit and let loose (he's typically a tight-ass who seldom drinks or does anything extremely fun). So we night nice a shwasted and set out to the lawn where, surprisingly there are lots of people already doing the same thing. A group of 4 or 5 of us take off running, but I'm the only one who is unfamiliar with the terrain on this lawn. After about 50 yards I'm in full sprint and all of a sudden there's no ground beneath me and I fall 2 feet or so down this bank, because apparently the ground is tiered down the lawn. It doesn't hurt too bad so I regain my balance and keep running, only to find in another 50ish yards there's yet another drop that I was not expecting, only this one has a lovely brick crosswalk at the bottom of it and I just busted ass upon landing. Get up and the adrenaline and booze is allowing me to finish running despite immense pain in my foot. As I return to the starting point and go to put clothes on with my foot bleeding and a few scraped on my arms I look up and who do I see? None other than my brother, who didn't even know I was at UVA that weekend and there I was... butt naked and an injured mess. Kinda funny looking back on it, but at the same time.... awwwkwaaaaarrrrd!
Best pet I've owned would be a golden retriever I had for the majority of my childhood and teenage years, named Buster. He got pretty sick in his old age and was plagued by some nasty arthritis that prevented him from even stepping up the front porch to come inside the house, so we had to put him to sleep when he was 14. Good life for a golden retriever though
1 Brother, mentioned above. He's 25 now and is doing big things in DC making the big bucks.
I tend to think that my intro music would change daily, as some days you'll find me all mellowed out and a zombie whereas others I'm high strung and a rageaholic. But more often than not I'm the type to be exploring and trying out anything if it's new and seems like a good time (within reason, obviously...). I think I'm gonna go with "42" by the Disco Biscuits. It kind of has all of the above intertwined, and who doesn't love a song with my favorite number as a title? Specifically, I'd enjoy the 4-18-09 version as my intro music
Country life, most definitely! I'm not cut out to be a city kid. I need my mountains, and I need to be able to wander without getting car fumes blown in my face every other minute.
My only other OCD that comes to mind is my music. I absolutely hate when I look at people's itunes or what have you and see songs titles or artists uncapitalized, or incorrectly labeled or anything. I also hate when I only have "track 1, track 2, track 3, etc" for albums/concerts although sometimes there's really just nothing you can do about it... It still drives me nuts though.
Who would be in your ultimate band living or dead - Vocals, lead guitar, 2nd guitar, bass, drums, and keys if ya want em?
Vocals- Jerry Garcia (with a guitar in his hands, too ) Lead Guitar- David Gilmour 2nd Guitar- Jim James Bass- Mike Gordon Drums- Carter Beauford Keys- Aron Magner
I have no idea how that would turn out... but it sure sounds funky!

^^How is that dodging questions? I narrowed down to the time of day at which you would hold this metaphorical gun to my head and what my answer would be!! I thought I answered that question to perfection? Now, if you simply asked which band I preferred I might've given a more direct answer I guess
and freebyrd, I'm gettin to your question... I'm getting hung up on the funeral song at the moment
Ah... well, if he can't help his own brother out I shan't feel too bad about it.
I've got one of those job-withholding brothers myself... and I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to work at a head shop on top of my political science knowledge.

I was actually just thinking about this the other day! There's a couple of answers I came up with. The first is probably far too in depth for what you were expecting, so just ignore this paragraph if you choose to not be so bored. My particular major in college is a weird, rather unique major that is an intended as an all-encompassing study of science, technology, and a tad bit of engineering. Appropriately, it's labeled as Integrated Science and Technology. Within this major, each student picks one particular concentration from the following- Engineering & Manufacturing, Environmental Science, Biosystems, Energy, Information Knowledge Management, and Telecommunications. Me being the ambitious student I was chose two instead of one- Environmental Science and Biosystems. I really really really wish I had done Engineering & Manufacturing instead of Biosystems, because as it turns out nobody really cares if I know how to genetically modify plants and animals anymore, because the world has been there, done that. I would've rather studied how to operate and manage production plants and whatnot, because from my experiences I've seen a lot more jobs looking at environmental consultants on production performance. That would be right up my alley if I had focused more in the E&M concentration.
To answer your question with a more simple answer... Psychology. I took a few classes my last semester just as credit-fillers and was so interested in the subject that I actually had near perfect attendance in a 300+ person lecture hall... which is more than I could say about my much smaller major-specific classes. Social Psych and Industrial Organizational Psych are just too cool, in my opinion
Which psych classes did you take? I'm quite curious myself.
I took two semesters (regular/AP) in high school - added bonus: teacher was former CIA - then tested out of college intro level. When I discovered I couldn't take any upper-level psych courses without a math/stats-intensive pre-req, I kind of lost interest in pursuing it.
Did you get to write any cool papers for those classes?
