I didn't know if there was already a thread for this but I just wanted to say thanks for everything. I have never been to Roo and frankly I was very skeptical when buying the ticket. But after reading these boards day after day after day I have no doubt that this will be a great experience. I read how excited you guys are about roo and it gets me anxious, ya know. These boards are like the world's greatest pep talk. So thank you. Not only for the wealth of knowledge on the subjects of camping, personal hygene, parking, when to arrive, terminology, wookies, gold bond, etc., but also for that genuine fire that you have. And thanks for starting a fire in me.

Ditto Ditto!!! Went soloroo last year, and after I bought my ticket a year ago, (today, I think) I was like, what am I friggin'insane? 14 hours into the middle of no where in a car by myself? Best leap of faith I've ever taken... can't wait to do it all again

Yeah I have to thank all the vets on this board also. Without this board I know my brother would be ready to kill me, and also you have helped out with getting through the boring work days. Thank you and once I get the schedule I think I will be officially ready for roo.

I'd also like to chime in with a hearty thanks to the vets. My buddy RV'd last year, but this year (my first) he suggested VIP camp. Since I've done the whole hot/miserably humid and/or intermittant flooding on a scale large enough to inspire Noah to build a boat hundreds of times, he put me in charge of planning. I found EVERY piece of USEFUL freaking information imaginable in ONE place.
Several of you have also caused me to spew soda/water/coffee all over my monitor at work. Repeatedly. Hope to meet some of you clowns so I can return the favor in some way, shape, or form.

I was terrified and excited at the same time about going last year. Then right when I got there...I was instantly tranformed into a Bonnaroovian. Now, all that really gets me uneasy is the long drive there and back.
In the spirit of giving advice to you new roo'ers, I have just one thing to suggest upon your arrival. Get out of the car, throw tarps over the area you want to 'claim' for your site, and crack open a beer and sit and relax for a moment. You'll be tired after the drive, the wait in line, the anticipation.... But take a minute to just be happy before you start trying to assemble things and get frustrated and argue with your camp mates. It's better to breathe it all in and set your camp up with a happy heart! My best wishes to you all.

I'm a roo vet (been to all but last year) but this is my 1st year on this site. I want to thank everyone for a place to vent my excitement so I don't drive my wife crazy. Special Thanks to the Mods for doing such an amazing job of managing the site. You guys are GREAT! Love to all!

Last year was our first, I can't wait for this year. There was a lot of time looking around saying OMG about 5,000 times over the weekend. Is going to be fun this year to know where most of the stuff is and when to be there.
For all the first timers here look at our pics, there is a ton of stuff there and it's all a blast.

Bonnaroo is pretty fun, get ready. This will be my fourth year and I wasnt even planning on going this year. I wanted to go back to Florida for a week since I havent been there since I was a kid. But once the lineup came out, I realized that I was going again.
Maybe Florida next year, unless they put out another great lineup.
