I know there was a thread for this last year, cant find it. See anybody famous at roo this year? Where at?
I ran into triumph insulting people on shakedown and also saw fishman chilling at shakedown saturday night as i was walking to NIN. I also saw raab himself going through the arch in line. I wanted to shake fishmans hand or say hi so bad but he was talking to some peeps and didnt want to interupt.
I saw Sophia Bush, I think that's her name. She's on One Tree Hill. My friend knew more about who she was than I did. And Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.
Pretty sure I saw David Byrne at the Daily Show All Stars late late Saturday night. Can anyone confirm this? He stayed for a few minutes and sat to the right of the stage.
My girlfriend and I saw Triumph making fun of people at the Xbox arcade tent. "What better place to stay inside and play video games than an outdoor music festival?" While only very mildly famous, I'm almost certain that we were sitting next to this girl (Sierra) who was on the most recent season of Survivor while we were watching Jimmy Buffett. And when we split up for a short while on Friday, my girlfriend saw the Beastie Boys riding through Centeroo on golf carts.
we saw bon iver (justin vernon) eating breakfast by himself saturday a.m. at waffle house.
Somehow that seems about right for him.
I don't know how "famous" he is, but I was excited to see Patrick Callahan, the drummer for My Morning Jacket, standing to the side at Andrew Birds set.
Saw Janeane Garofalo walking around by that tent. Pretty cool. I would have never known it was her though had I not gone to the comedy tent the night before. She's such a tiny thing!

My friend and I stopped dead in our tracks on Sunday, we thought for sure it was the drummer for MMJ. But we were in a hurry to get somewhere so we continued on...
I bumped into Jimmy Buffett Friday night near the Solar Stage...almost literally. I came around the corner and had to side step to keep from knocking into him. Not wanting to be 'that guy' I shook his hand, told him I was looking forward to the show, and kept on walking.
"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 was interviewed by Triumph while walking down Shakedown. I was completely hammered and don't really remember the conversation. My buddy got some video of it before the made him turn off his camera.

He was at Badu, as well. I was hoping that Jim James would be there, too, and do a Tyrone duet, but alas...
I'm so bad at noticing celebrities, I don't think I'd know half of the Roo performers if they were standing next to me with a nametag on. But we think we may have seen Beyonce's sister... she looked an awful lot like Beyonce, at least, and had a special wristband.
EDIT: Someone in the collaborations thread said Solange Knowles performed with Chairlift, so I guess we really did see her!

I met Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords/Daily Show) in the pit at Wilco. She just happened to be dancing right next to me, and I just happened to be wearing my Conchords shirt that day. I tapped her on the shoulder and waved, and she smiled and waved back. She was incredibly nice and after the show she let me get a pic with her. Absolutely the highlight of my roo this year.

Todd Barry walked past us while waiting in line for the Daily Show. Also I apparently ate a burrito right next to Ted Leo while waiting for the Elvis Costello set and didn't even realize it. Damn me and my love of burritos!
I saw Grace Potter a few times back stage and almost ran into her on the way into media access on Saturday, she definitely looked to of had a good time the night before, haha. Aside from that I saw Janeane Garafalo, Ani Difranco, singer for Delta Spirit and the singer from Galactic at a press conference, which was pretty sweet.

I am so jealous of all you people seeing famous people! I didn't see anyone, although honestly I wouldn't have recognized anyone anyway. So maybe I did see someone. I could basically have shared a burrito with Trey and not realize.
