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!!
We're up for where ever, but this being my first time, give as much directional information as you can, cause I'm old and don't know where I am going...
well, so far, at least among those of us who have admitted our ages Im the senior (!!!!) one at 50. Although I look young for my age, or so I'm told (maybe they're just being nice, idk) it's not hard to figure out that I'm over 40. So I don't know that I need a button to id me ...lol.
seriously, would like to get in on the action. am definitely planning to come to the brunch, dont' know about my Thurs night yet - will have my kids with me so I need to get set up and make sure I know where they're going, and make sure there's nothing they don't want to see with me.
anyone that wants to is welcome to pm me with details or just to swap email/text etc so we can keep in touch. not sure how many among us more mature folk are bringing kids - mine are older and fairly self sufficient but I will want to keep tabs on them while having a good time myself. Dont want them doing a lot of what I hopefully will be doing...lol. I've had 35 years of practice, though and they haven't.
depends idea was a funny one! can't wait to meet all of y'all....

CursedLono does leave with my head jumbled but...don't you guys remember last year (I think) the story about the astronaut woman that drove cross country wearing depends so she wouldn't have to stop? Her goal was to stalk someone or kill someone, can't remember which....The Cougar comment was over my head though. I know what a cougar is but don't quite understand this context of use.

Cougar = +40 year old woman searching for a youger dude. I love cougars. He's asking how many of you woman have stocked up on your depends so you don't have to leave a show to pee, at least I think that's what he's talking about.

also referring back to the astronaut story - the woman wore the depends so she could haul butt across several states to do bodily harm to the woman who done stoled her man
hence the "packing" reference. I think talking about women "packing heat" or carrying weapons. lots of loose associations here but I get it
for some reason I don't have a problem figuring out his posts usually. I have a brother in law who is pretty off the wall stream of consciousness severe ADHD and I think he has provided me with some pretty good training what a trip it is to talk to him on the phone though...
How about meeting @ the grassy area in front of the Solar stage- we can congregate at the haystacks against the post office which is directly across from the Solar stage ( which is past the Fuse Barn. Miss Voodoo- that would be great if you have a sign. You can be like our statue of Liberty. I haven't checked the line up yet- is it pretty quiet between 8 and 8:30?

Realizing that there are going to be conflicts, I would vote for between 6:30 and 7:30 as I plan to be at Miike Snow at 8/8:30.
But what ever works for the masses, I will accomidate.
I'm willing to be flexible within the confines of when I can get set up, etc. Will have a 20 year old and 3 16 year olds in tow (all girls) so anything could happen. Not to mention I havent worked out my schedule totally yet of who I am seeing. everyone just decide on something and I'll do my best to be there. Otherwise I'm planning on attending the inforoo brunch on Friday.

I have a few acts to see on Thursday but will try to show up where you guys decide. I know where the post office is, the ferris wheel ticket booth, the fountain.....Zen-I have two 16 year old girls with me...do yours stay close or do you let them do their own thing? Last year was my first Roo and Thursday overwhelmed me so we all stayed close but by Friday night they were gone and checking in by text.
^^ last year was my first as well, and only the 20 year old (then 19 of course) was with me at the time. It was a last minute whirlwind trip as we didnt' know we were going until 2 days prior, so it was overwhelming! we stayed close the whole time. this year I would be more comfortable letting her or them go off alone with frequent check ins. they're good kids and don't get into a fragment of what I did at their age.
we should definitely stay in touch with one another as time grows closer.

We should We should. The idea of beong completely solo kinda bums me out There are only a few shows me the girls all want to see. Other than that I hope they can find the tent!
>40ROOcrew I thought i lost you guys when the roo message site shut down. Crane lady is that you Ivy? so please someone step up and tell us all when where on Thursday.
Maybe earlier then 8:30 more like 6 ish? there going to be great music Thursday night. Inside Centroo, Sonic stage entry is fine or how about the first beer stand closest to the main entry arch. I'm looking forward to the first cold one inside!!
are there any >40ROOcrew camping in tents only? Tents only is close. It may be nice to meet there Friday morning, after the initial inside meet or for people who miss the Thursday evening meet-up. Inforoo brunch is nice but does get a little busy.
Cool to find you folks. This will be roo # 8 for me; I missed 2007. I'm def up for the Friday brunch thing; I will be happy to serve as the egg chef. I don't know much, but I do make a mean toad in the hole. And of course, we must have livermush. (No lips or snouts, I promise.)
I would LOVE to be in the tent only section - if it were only me and the oldest I would do it for sure, as I know she would be cool with whatever was going on around us. My concern is for the 16 year olds...would that be an inappropriate setting for them? on the one hand, they're not likely to see anything there they wouldn't see elsewhere at Roo. They might see Mom a bit more impaired on a consistent basis than otherwise though....of course if Mom is consistently impaired they won't be able to tell maybe....decisions, decisions.
REALLY looking forward to meeting all you folks AND the brunch. I've already put the kids on notice that brunch time is my time.

See you in Roomania.
Hootdaddy
If you're coming from columbia, skip the livermush please...and just bring some good piggie park BBQ. or lets have some good ole Charleston style shrimp & grits.
I am flexible. I recommended 8 because a lot of ppl didn't get in and set up til 6 last year, and I thought it would increase attendance.
I think the real challenge is to decide what to do when we get together. Should we compromise & pick a thur act to get together for? Might be fun to dance and scream with summa you old farts.
Ok so like older but so what,…lets all get over that part of it
cause i dont care and I’m going to Bonnaroo and I love it and its my 3rd and the music is sooo good and it would be cool to met you all. We can just meet and drink coffee or beer and talk music etc.
Matthews Kings of Leon Spektor, Lips, Weather, Marley Phoenix Cliff LCD Soundsystem Thievery The Black Keys, Beck, Biscuits Stevie Wonder Bassnectar, Medeski Martin & Wood, Baaba Maal, its going to be so good
so as cranelady suggests “How about meeting @ the grassy area in front of the Solar stage- we can congregate at the haystacks against the post office which is directly across from the Solar stage” at eight pm (8PM) on Thursday YIKES 2 weeks from today. If some don’t make it then next day inforoo brunch. I think i'll be self evident so I wont wear a sign.
^ I'm with you on the try to meet thurs night thing and if that does not work I'm definitely planning on the brunch. not sure I can think of an inappropriate comment that wont be shooting myself in the foot as well...haha.
Wow- what a nice response from you seniors. I apologize to those who can't make it, but it seems more people are preferring 6 PM- so let's officially plan for 6 PM - around the Solar Stage- by the haystacks on Thurs. for those of you who can't make it, there will be the inforoo brunch the next morning in tents only pod. Send me a personal message and we can exchange phone numbers in case you want confirmation or directions. Hopefully Voodoo lady will be there with a sign. I'll be the petite Oriental lady with an orange straw hat. Jomon-Glad you found us! cool logo- can we make buttons, posters out of it?
