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 think attendance at Roo is going to be about the same as it was last year. I know we don't have Phish or The Boss, but DMB carries a pretty rabid following and the line-up in general is incredibly diverse - one of the best I have seen as far as sheer variety of sound goes, IMHO.
Also as someone else mentioned, Coach was packed and Jazz Fest down here in NOLA has also been a monster success this year. Despite the rough economy, I think plenty of people have saved up and are ready to come out. Really the only slow-down I've noticed on the board is in the lack of first timer threads and questions.
"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. "
This year's line up, while solid, is not terribly sexy. Not much to debate or get amped up about.
At least last year we had the soul-numbing debate over whether the Beasties and David Byrne were headliners, not to mention whether Phish's two sets trumped the Boss's Saturday set to be the official headliner. Also, there was the torment over the Saturday late night conflicts.
Maybe some schedule conflicts will stir things up. Maybe the Flips will end up having to cancel and we'll have the last minute speculation over who is going to fill in (My Morning Jacket? Neil Young? Widespread Panic?) and subsequent disappointment in the answer.
Right now the only real discussion point that really hasn't been beat to death is who the hell is playing Gary Chardonay's slot?
I seem to remember Jess saying the same thing to me. I told him that I was going to be very disappointed if he wasn't bald with a gun in his hand with a rooster on top of it.
They wont let me bring my gun or rooster, and I am the opposite of bald. It is always fun meeting inforoosters for the first time, strum is the one who looked least like I thought though.
Fucking security these days. I remember the glory days
I think people will start picking up the pace next week when the schedule is dropped....
also, everyone knows what I look like....been on the last two DVD's for Bonnaroo. Having said that, I hope to meet more inforoers this year. Only met Enemy (aka Chad) last year at Dillingers. If you see me, you can call me Pondo or say you are from Inforoo...all good mates.

I'm newer myself here, but welcome to the board!!! I eventually did the same thing and got off the fence after reading so many posts.

Welcome. If it makes you feel any better I add absolutely nothing to this board.
Yeah. I complained before I think on their Facebook since I heard someone emailed the KickApp people in charge without any changes/reply, and then I wrote again on the KickApp wall last night or the day before about how they've stopped us from logging in without any warning now and I'm sick of the crappy boards. AND I wrote on Roo's Facebook saying they shouldnt go with KickApps anymore, lol...
So tired of the crap message boards but I still feel the need to go on there. I noticed they started emailing us the inbox messages we get, so hopefully they're fixing it. My main concern is all the spam and the log in page would fool you into thinking you didn't log in completely (press log in again and THEN you can see the link to "My Page" and whatnot).
How do they link you to Inforoo? cause I haven't seen that happen...
Message boards were pretty lame anyway, this is where the good stuff is at. All I got from those boards was a scammer from Africa, "daughter of some minister" with big boobies needing $20k so she can make me rich. My response was less than civil. Idio-> there is NOTHING 'recreational' here man... I haven't smoked anything special since Goa six months ago... If u guys see me tripping balls at the Roo.. come over and give me a hug or something...
The very best way to start Bonnaroo. You will meet lots of people and will see them throughout the weekend.
I love you Bunny! Me & Dallas were just talking about you yesterday!
It is good to see some lurkers posting finally! We need some new blood since things have been so quiet. It can be intimidating trying to post as a newbie. I remember soakin in all I could as a first timer in 08. This is definitely the best placefor info on all things Roo. I am getting so homesick sick for the farm. 2011.
