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!!
I'm a teacher, and we've had a ton of snow days the last few weeks (9 out of the last 10 school days!). Our year was going to end right before Bonnaroo, but if they have to add any days on to the end of the year it will make it so I probably can't go. BOOOOO!
There's a chance the schedule won't be affected at all, but I am acting like I won't be going this year just so I will be pleasantly surprised when it turns out I still can!
shitty. i have three good friends who have been before but now work in the school system and wont be able to go because theyll still be in school in early june. these are probably the three people i want to go the most too, sucks.

Anyone else starting to feel really left-out and sad that they can't make the festival this year? I keep telling myself the lineup is not so great, but I know I'm just lying. I hope you all have a great time and toast to your homies who are left behind.... thanks

Although I have never been to Roo before I am sure I will make it a tradition....to make my first toast to anyone that isn't around. I mean ANYONE..dead...alive...whomever..
I'm missing Roo this year for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that we flipped the SUV on I24 in Chatanooga on the way there last year- perhaps you saw myself or one of my passengers running around bandaged up all weekend. It's just SUCH a far trip from MA, and one that, with good reason, would make us nervous to travel again so soon. My partners in crime also wanted to try out some new festies, and even though I'd made the last 4 Roos and that weekend will undoubtedly feel empty for me now, Mountain Jam and All Good had substantially better lineups, shorter distances, and cheaper ticket prices. I keep creeping around here because I can't help myself at this point. I feel really confident I'll be back for '11, but I'm not as broken up about missing it this year as I thought I would be, mostly because of the lineup. That said, I'm SO BUMMED I'm missing LCD, Orgone, Brandi, and MMW, among others.
With the release of the tickets this week it's killing me not to go this year...but after buying a house it's just a sacrifice that I had to make.... I will be back in 2011 for the 10th anniversary.
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.

Same here. I was just reading some posts of people in line on the highway to get to the farm and they were COMPLAINING..... Pissed me off.... Oh well, next year will be here before you know it.
I've felt slightly bi polar this week. At least once a day I get a feeling of great sadness that we're not going this year. I plan to support live music locally this weekend and we're already watching Bonnaroo on you tube. You tube is still a new fascination to us because we've had hi speed internet for only 6 months. But I have great plans for a return trip next year!
I'd really advise everyone to check out the NPR webcast. I've listened to The xx, Neon Indian, Local Natives, and now Here We Go Magic, and it's excellent.
Unfortunately - I can't check out any of it until I get off work
This will never happen again...it is disgusting how bummed I am. Its even worse that I coulda made it. I for once in my life played it too safe and got scared at the potential of getting laid off. I did land a sweet job because of it so Im trying to focus on that

Sorry for the double post -- I almost wish I hadn't started listening to the webcasts right before I go to work. Now I'm feeling a little green with envy and will just be thinking about how much I shouldn't be there my entire shift.

I understand how you guys feel. I feel so left out this year and well honestly last year too. Before that I had been to three. I am really really really missing it. It also sucks cause I live 30 min away from the Roo and get to see everyone come and go and only wish. Hopefully you guys will see me back next year.

Oh - if I lived 30 min away - I don't think I could handle not being there
