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 will be 40 this year, and another campmate is mid-40's...but we also camp with my 20 yo son and several of his friends. We love company Come on over and visit with us in tent only!
I'm 43, but the girl I go to Roo with is mid 20's. "We've gone the past several years. One of the most amazing things about Bonnaroo is that age seems to be insignificant. It's all about the community and the music vibe. You would actually think that my 20 something partner would out party this old man. BUT, nearly every year...she's back at camp while I'm still out enoying a show. Age is insignificant....or did I already say that? heehee
Thanks for the messages- got some people interested when the Bonnaroo mesg board was up but lost touch with them. Once we get the line up, I'll post a meeting place for the over 40 Roo'ers (or near 40) to meet. I agree that we are part of a common denominator at Roo but this is one way to meet and greet and get to know each other
I had posted a similar thread a month or two ago and got a lot of responses. Its buried back there somewhere. I'll see if I can find it and bring in the link.
No such thing as a dinosaur if you're at Roo. 42 and 41 year old hubby and this will be our third roo. The kids stay with grandma and grandpa!
LOL katbur2! I just turned 30 last week and my wife is 33 so sorry to post out of place , but....same thing here.. Our 2 children go to "NanaRoo" (something they came up with this year) while we take our yearly vacation in celebration of our wedding anniversary. Can't wait for June!
I suggest the inforoo brunch Friday morning as a meet-up place, then we can meet our younger roo brothers and sisters at the same time. I camp close by the inforoo brunch in tent-only and I can show ya'll then where I am camped. I volunteer my campsite to be the official over 40 hangout spot during the roo!

be careful what you ask for
looking forward to meeting all of my roo brothers and sisters, both old and young.
Miss Voodoo- sounds like a plan! Where will the inforoo brunch be? also we'll need something to identify ourselves- Someone on my previous link had suggested naming our group the >40RooCrew- If you're not shy about your age, I might be able to make some buttons or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I'd be interested in meeting up with >40 peeps. I too will keep a look out for more info on this. We can help each other to not be takin' by phone scammers. Maybe an electric scooter recharge station?

Here's the inforoo bunch thread bonnaroo.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=logistics&action=display&thread=20506. It is held in tent-only on Friday. Inforoo has a big rooster flag, we always camp in tent-only & last year were right next to the inforoo camp. As we get closer to the event, we can come up with a back-up contact plan, as not everyone is feeling up to finding the brunch on Friday morning (but it is WELL worth it!)
From the meaasge string from the other, now defun(k)ct board, there was talk of meeting on Thurs. evening for drinks, I was promised "Strip and go Naked" (not sure if that was a drink, and invitation or a threat?) but I sure was interested.
Thanks everyone who has expressed interest. Once we get the schedule, we can figure out a meeting place on Thurs and definitely meet for brunch at Inforoo camp. Thanks mphsvoodoo for your great suggestions. I'll be getting beads and buttons to identify us (Depends are too expensive) ADDENDUM- Strip and Go naked- definitely a privilege, not a threat

OK, I'm really not down with the whole strip and go naked thing in my camp...I do not want my camping chairs to smell like ass. Now, if it's a drink and it all girly & sweet with a little umbrella, I am cool with that. Cranelady, you can get those little "Hi, my name is ....." stickers for really cheap, and you could then take them to the inforoo brunch to pass out. Someone was supposed to bring some last year but didn't..

Looking forward to meeting all my fellow Over-40 Roo'ers at the Friday brunch. But if I end up being the oldest one there (46), I'm going to hop on my Rascal and scoot right out of there...

How about we meet somewhere easy to find...like the Ferris Wheel ticket booth, OR the hand holding the world art thing at the entrance to the sonic village. I don't care, ya'll pick a place but not the arch, cause it will be too full of people. I will make one of those picking people up at the airport signs so we don't just stand around looking for old people, lol. Something like "Old Farts Linger Here"?
Come on over and visit with us in tent only!
