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!!
To feel like a kid on Xmas Eve? I'm soo pumped up and can't think, can't work, can't do anything but sit and wish it was time to enter the round gate! Every day this week, I get up and say to myself, "I'm not going online to look at sites and pics about Bonnaroo" because I get so distracted and can't get anything done! But I do, and now here I am sitting on Inforoo, wondering what I can do to make the time pass quicker, and what Santa's gonna bring me!?
Yeah....getting laid off from my day job is what allowed me to go to Bonnaroo in the first place (could never have gotten Father's Day weekend off)....see there's always a bright side....but try sitting around for two weeks waiting for Roo...with NOTHING to do until it comes up! This is brutal!

All of those xmas' you've experienced were simply training for Bonnaroo, and Bonna Claus has some amazing surprises in store for the good little kids, to be sure. As far as passing time faster, ~shrug~, basically, just try to stay as distracted as you can, but no matter how much you try, Roo will always creep back in. Last night I was in a beer garden smoking a cigarrette and enjoying the beautiful weather and I hadn't thought about Roo for at least 20 minutes, when suddenly I noticed a guy sitting across the way had on a T-Shirt that said 'Festival Staff', and immediately I thought "There's going to be a lot of guys with shirts like that at roo in a week..." and then the flood of Roo thoughts came rushing back into my head for pretty much the rest of the night, non-stop

Anyway, Merry Roomas everyone!
That's right.. the funniest thing that reminded me of Bonnaroo, was water.. I thought, hmm.. better stock up on water soon!
Yeah, I'm pretty excited. To the point that I got my tent out over this past weekend and set it up in my living room. I almost slept in it, "just to get used to it".

I feel like I'm taking CRAZY PILLS!
Yeah, I set up my whole camp Bonnaroo in my Dad's backyard last Sunday, and then proceeded to hang out in is all afternoon, with a radio and drinks in the cooler, etc... My parents thought I was nuts, but then my Mom started to take pictures, and she even stopped in for a game of cards
It's normal for me... I guess I see it as part of the ride that is bonnaroo. My ticket didn't just get me one great long weekend - it got me weeks of fantasizing and obsessing about my one great long weekend as well.

Great Point!! I must embrace this anticipation and axiousness!! I'll be so sad when it's all over.. but, we mustn't think like that!

Not going to lie, I kinda envy you. Not having anything to do for two weeks sounds very very nice.

Tell me about it, I'm on summer vacation from school, and all I have to do is a part time job at a pizza place.

I've never been to 'roo this year will be my first time. I'm meeting an old high school buddy who lives on the other side of the country and we're gonna camp together. I've never even been and I already know how you feel. I couldn't get to sleep last night thinking about it.
I've been obsessing over Bonnaroo for months. A couple of the poeple at work wnet to Jazzfest so they sorta know, but everyone else thinks I'm nuts. It's amazing what little interest most people have about constructing a flagpole out of PVC. And I've been seeing corncat in my sleep.
I've been vibrating with excitement for weeks now but my husband is a very low key, even-tempered guy. Last night, out of nowhere, he stood up, stretched and said "Bonnarooooooo!"
...For him that's extreme excitement. I know we're close to it now.
aaaaaAAAAAAAGGGGHH!!! I have so much to do!!! WE LEAVE IN A WEEK!!!!
My friends keep telling me they cant wait until i leave so they can quit hearing a countdown everyday.........little do they know when I get back the countdown just starts from 365 again
I leave sunday morning to start pre-show. Ive never been so excited to work. Im ready to have new bonnaroo roomies and neighbors. New friends. New music. New etc .....
I came to stay at the parents house to get ready for roo and they think im crazy running around yellling BOONNAROOOOOOO.. if they only knew .. Do you .. Bonnaroo?
Ive got a final push of work friday night, saturday night and sunday night then I wait til midnight on wendsday when we leave....gonna try to adjust my body to its new schedule soon
This is how bad I have been this year - am an admin on another message board - they emailed me the other day wanting to know if I was still aloive because I had not checked in with them for a few weeks - I have over 10,000 posts over there if that tells you how invoved I am and now I have gone AWOL
I've had to make a pact with at least 2 people to just stop talking about it and at this point I think the people at work are mistaking my extreme excitment for bragging.
I agree I have embraced the coming of Roo as a aprt of it...but boy if I'm still not goin nuts on the inside everytime I look at my ticket, check the website, check inforoo (first and formost), when I think of Roo...heck pretty much all the time
Normally I'm all about the journey--better to travel hopefully than to arrive--but right now I wish I could just time travel and be there and have the tent set up and my sunscreen on and a beer in my hand....
Edited to add....BWAH! I'm a Swamp Butt with this post, and I haven't even 'Rood yet!
;D
