I left my chargers at home or else I wouldn't have waited. It sucked, but was necessary. I didn't really miss anything I wanted to see so it wasn't so bad. I wish the people with chargers standing in line would have known an alternative so they wouldn't be making the line so long. A lot of people in line had their own chargers.

the safety towers in the pods had outlets at them as well. many of the volunteers had stereos playing while they sat in the tower so i figured there had to be an outlet somewhere. And there was. Sat in the shade and charged my phone for awhile
my phone held its charge all weekend, probably because i barely used it. it was great to just put the phone down for a few days and be completely detached from the "real" world.

We were standing in the mile long line to charge our phone and this chick walked up with a petition and asked us to sign it. She asked why we were standing in line and I told her to charge our phone. She was like oh come back to my booth and you can charge it there. I gave her the biggest hug ever and charged my phone and napped in Planet Roo. It was awesome.

This!
We did bring the power inverter for the car so that I could charge my camera battery, but we used the phone only as a clock and to send the occasional text message.
We had to run the car a little to recharge the battery by Saturday, but I think that was in part because we left the back open forever on Thursday while we were sitting in back of it. Otherwise the car charger did fine for us as well!

Bring a car charger or an inverter. We brought some kind of neat rechargeable battery thing that you could charge in the car and then plug stuff into. It was pretty useful.

I charged mine, using my plug-in, using an outlet in the VIP tent. But last year i just plugged into an outlet behind the Kids Jam tent.
The moral is that if you're smart you can find an outlet pretty much anywhere. Plug in, chill for a half hour, and you're good to go! Also, the Fuse Barn sucks.

You can get a few solar charger panels made for cell phones, ipods, etc on Ebay for about $20 each. They're a great investment. We bought a few and rigged up a way to "lock" them to the top of the EZ up to charge during the day. Over night, you can charge your phone or camera battery. These are especially great if you go tent-only and you don't have your car there with you.
Though, if you use your camera like I do at Roo, I'd probably just spring for a couple extra batteries to charge up before hand and take with you.
For road trips, I have a power inverter that plugs up inside the car so I can charge the laptop/what ever else and it doesn't run off the car battery. I got if for about $30 and it has a standard electrical outlet, one cigarrette lighter style outlet, and two USB ports.

Way back in ot-two, we didn't have no cell phone reception at bonnaroo! Nobody could talk on their cellllll phones even if they were charged! That's the way it was and we liked it! We LOVED it! If you wanted to find your friends in centeroooo, you had to use smoke signals or nothing! </grumpy>
go to best buy. buy a car charger for whatever brand of phone you have. $20. I did this both years and without even having to turn the car on during roo I at least had my phone fully charged at the second I parked. I don't even have a nice phone and lasted while on all weekend, plus I could have charged it at night in the car if I had had to. Man it was annoying to be in a group of 13 and only know for sure that 1-2 people were reachable
