So I may be the most disorganized person on this board, but I figured I might as well find out! Anyone else still have Roo supplies in their vehicle from last year's Bonnaroo? I haven't looked through my trunk in a while, but I know I still have several items in there, most of which I actually never used at Roo last year due to being parked in BFE and only taking the essentials in to Tent Only.
One water gun - used one time before Roo, never used at Roo.
One bucket, with sponge and portable shower - never used. I actually never even saw a water station outside of Centeroo..
One shade-cover for my folding chair, seemed like a good idea until I got to Bonnaroo and realized I didn't want to carry that crap around with me all day.
Clamps and bungee cords - used at Roo but never taken out of my trunk since.
Spray bottles - empty, never used.
One flag pole (extendible golf ball retriever) - never used. I ended up just hanging the flag from the side of my EZ-up as a sun-blocker.
I'm sure there's more, going to have to check it out and get back to you.

Yes! I still have paper plates, and utensils, and paper towels from last year.
I just took out a thing of propane last week. I also don't take my folding chairs or table out all year. They do tend to come in useful. I've found other odds and ends like the plastic bags used to keep stuff dry, glowsticks, which always make me smile when i see them, a jar of peanut butter that i will throw away at some point. I found an exploded can of beer in there as well the other day when i was getting gas and just peaked in.
What makes this even more sad to me is that I went through a full move and still didn't take this stuff out. I don't even try and use my trunk anymore.

A flash light, lawn chair, bandana, ziploc bags, and I had found some cooking tongs..thankfully I had cleaned them before putting it back in my trunk. haha OH and my Tevas! I have not used them once since Bonnaroo... I love them...they just don't go with any of my clothes. They will be used again this year though, for sure. lol

This thread is right up my alley...
Still have ticket stubs from the last 4 bonnaroo's in my glovebox, canopy, tent, air mattress pump.... Im sure there are a few things in there still from 2006...
But I always keep my camping supplies stored in my trunk... once april hits it's at least one festival a month until October, no reason to take them out.

I still have 2 tarps, some bungie cords, a lantern... and probably a few other things in my trunk, but they've been used for camping multiple times since 'Roo.
Funny thing though, I had a flat a few months ago and went to pull the floor of the trunk out to get the spare... there were a good 50 or so glow sticks still jammed in around and under the spare. Haha, laughing about that made changing a flat in the rain not so bad.
haha yeah I also went through a major move (major because I have so much extra crap, as in the case of Roo stuff still in my trunk and all over my house) and didn't even touch most of the Roo pile in my trunk, just let it lay where it was. I did poke through my trunk yesterday and found a few things I forgot up above: one folding chair (specifically this one from REI, I love it: www.rei.com/product/765272) that I use all the time but it has not left my trunk other than during camping trips and so forth since Roo.
I found a much-battered roll of toilet paper that is most likely from Bonnaroo, it could be from a camping trip but I doubt it, it was buried deep.
I found an untouched roll of gorilla tape, which is cool because I needed some haha
Random bits that were most likely from Roo, judging by their apparent age, dustiness, or randomness - such as a used glow necklace and bracelet, a couple dusty PBR cans in the vicinity of the other Roo gear, and one page of the nice laminated schedule that questionablesanity made for me last year and I totally forgot in my car (and I think he did too haha)

I don't know about physical stuff, but I'm convinced my friend's car still contains a distinctive odor from '07. Every time I get in his car I get all nostalgic.
Hmm well I am probably the farthest thing from a hippie and I know the only thing I took out from last years trip was my clothes and other personal hygiene stuff that was all packed together in one bag. Everything else, tent, sleeping bag, baby wipes (which so were not needed), and tarps are all still packed away. I'm going to have to just reorganize soon before taking off for this years! I do have a big trunk and don't use it often except for work and if it doesn't get in my way why does it really matter if it stays in my trunk the entire year? Guess it makes me a disorganized and bad person huh!
My tent and chair I took with me stayed in my car until about December of last year, and the sleeping bag is still in my trunk. So are the tools, since you never know when you'll need a hammer. I had a bunch of clothes and some miscellaneous stuff like my battery powered fan, sun screen, deodorant, etc. in there until a few weeks ago.
It turns out sun screen bottles and deodorant will spontaneously combust in long periods of time in hot weather, + stuff being thrown on top of them. So my floorboards look pretty damn bad at the moment. My car is as clean as it'll get right now, until June that is.
I've actually benefited, several times, by the random stuff left in my trunk from Bonnaroo. Like car-camping, oh YEAH I've got some folding chairs in my trunk! Or oh YEAH I don't have to sleep on the ground, I've got a freaking cot back here! haha
This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together.
