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 was saying that people who are so quick to judge me like Wolfman Jess are completely wrong as the people who gave me a ride found out. So yea, in that instance turning off the karma points may have been a good thing but would I have gotten a ride anyway without turning them off? Probably but not definitely. It was a week until roo and I had no ride so it was crunch time. I needed to be sure I could secure a ride.
Our encounter was brief, but I am a pretty good judge, of character, and I think I have yours nailed on the head. You are a self entitled spoiled brat, and I would rather have a 10 to 1 frat to wook ratio than people like you there.
Hilarious. So wooks are a good thing now? I thought was a negative term for shady "hippies." Yeah, you really have me nailed on the head. Just like you had me nailed on the head as the guy dancing at Phoenix. You assume I'm a self entitled spoiled brat yet you have no idea about my background and life history. Nice try hot shot. Sell that sh.it to the tourists.
I judge you by your behavior, and you behave like an a$$hole, what is so hard to understand about being treated like one? You have nothing positive to say, you wallowed into camp inforoo bragging about how we all hate you, and you have tried to take a gigantic sh!t in the middle of a memorial thread for a friend of mine who died. You don't like being judged by your actions then change them, until then I will continue to treat you like the security horse droppings that you act like.

I happen to be a believer in that phenomenon called "hippie love". I believe that good karma is infectious and can be spread...as can bad.
Although I was not able to geolocate myself to the brunch, else I would have been there with bells on (translation: I couldn't find the damn thing!), I feel that I have become close to this inforoo community.
Whatever your motives or feelings, it really doesn't matter. The whole inforoo community right now is in a very fragile emotional state because of the loss of an incredible individual, and you have chosen to unleash your seemingly attention- seeking antics in the midst of our collective love for one another and grief for our fallen member.
I urge you to do some serious soul-searching and wherever your travels take you, that you learn some interpersonal skills.
If you take one lesson from this, know that just because a group is a virtual and/or online collection of people, it does in no way diminish our humanity.
Now go, child, and may you learn the ways of peace and love.
Now that I've had a week to think about it for a bit, I made my decision that there's no way in hell I'm going back to Bonnaroo. This year was awful. Fortunately I never had to deal much with all the cops. However, I've read about other people's experiences on here and that's enough to make me never go back. I've been going since 2004. I was all for the non jambands coming in at 2006. I've liked all of the lineups they've had. I miss the old bonnaroo and I realize that it will never come back. It's disgusting to see what it's become.
This thread is to discuss our final bonnaroos are what other festivals we've replaced them with. I'm going to Voodoo in New Orleans on Halloween, sounds like a lot of fun. I'm also going to ATP and Pitchfork. I'm really looking forward to going to all of these fests for the first time.
Man, I had to read over that post a few times because it was blowing my mind and I was sure I just wasn't reading it right. You're never going back to Roo because you read about other people's experiences with the cops? Seriously? ??? Did you have fun at Roo this year? Was your opinion about returning to Roo different before you read the posts about the cops? I just can't fathom how this would be reason enough not to go. Did Roo have problems? Absolutely. There were any number of things they could have done better - same as every festival. I still had an amazing time though and met a lot of awesome people so I'd be happy to return. I'm hoping that Roo will learn from it's mistakes this year and change things for next year.
As far as your initial inquiry on replacing Roo with other festivals: Assuming Roo didn't exist then I'd go with Sasquatch, All Good and Coachella (and Rothbury if it comes back) in the camping category and Voodoo and ACL in the non-camping category.

Dear Corn Idiot:
First and foremost, let me start by saying nobody cares if you like them up here or want to make friends or pretty much care about anything you have to say in general. Sorry that your opinion does not seem to matter much but something tells me you are used to that in life by now.
I am sorry you miss "the old Bonnaroo." If other people can influence your decisions this easily about festivals and shows, then I hope you develop a spine and learn to make decisions on YOUR experiences, not other peoples.
As far as Karma points, dude you acted like an imbecile and a twit and basically had to turn off the points to "catch a last minute ride" and realized that your idiotic behavior up here needed to be "swept under the rug" to do so.
Fell free to leave Bonnaroo. While you are at it, feel free to leave the inforoo. Go somewhere else and perhaps, you will find the moronic cravings you are looking for currently. I usually respect people up here to a point, but a fallen friend (YES HE WAS MY FRIEND!) that you had no respect for has put me in a state that your opinion is useless and about as relevant as a hill of pinto beans...
On your way out of the forum, please take your negativity with you. I hope that whatever the f^ck you are looking for is out there...just hope it is FAR FAR away from here.

Wait, wait, back up a second. I had no respect for Matt? Are you kidding? He was one of the only people who was nice to me at the brunch. He complimented me on the Deadmau5 thread where I aruged with and insulted him because HE SAID IT MADE THE THREAD ENTERTAINING, and he was right. You guys take this inforoo WAY too seriously. It's really disgusting.
The guy I got a ride from has a grand total of like 4 posts. Yeah, I was using you all for a ride.
Wolfman, I was BRAGGING at the brunch? There was nothing I said or did at the brunch that resembled bragging in any way. Now you're just straight up lying, kind of like how you did about me dancing in the mud at Phoenix. Just an FYI, I've done lots of missionary work and I've helped out at homeless shelters very often. Way to be a hippie by judging people you know absolutely nothing about.
Face to Face - Disconnected
You don’t know a thing about me Is there something you should know? I can tell you what you want to hear Let your inhibitions just go
No, you don’t know what you will give up You don’t know what you want It may take you years to find out You don’t know what you need It’s something that may never come to you
Trust is something that comes easy When you’ve never been a victim Lies and promises and words are said It’s you’re decision to accept them
No, you don’t know what you will give up You don’t know what you want It may take you years to find out You don’t know what you need It’s something that may never come to you
In 7 years that I've been going to Bonnaroo there has always been change. What it was in 10' is a hell of a lot different than 04'. The only thing constant is change. It went from 4 tents to 3, 2 extra Cafe' stages, an enlarged Comedy tent, Art of Such N' Such to no Art of Such N' Such, and so many more. (Something Else, anyone!?!)
Without the change people would be b*tching about how stagnant the festival has become. Much like your favorite artists putting out the same record for three records straight. Sometimes you have to take a chance on things and this is the year it seems like they chose to do that. I wasn't a fan of the Lunar Stage OR Spash A Roo', but with some fine tuning they could be ok, just still not for me.
The traffic just was. You can sit and complain about sitting in line or your campsite or you can just suck it up and deal with it.
I'm not sure as to why everyone is suprised by police presence. I saw Deputy Sheriffs coming through campsites on Saturday morning. The first time I've ever seen that. Do you not see a police presence in a city of 80K people? I do. Daily. Bottom line. You do f*cked up sh*t you might have f*cked up sh*t happen to you. There is no law on the Manchester or Tennessee books that say "Except for Bonnaroo". You have to accept the consequences of where ever you are, even on the farm.
I'm sorry about what all you heard, Cornquacker, but I wouldn't write it off just yet.

aww cornquacker - before I committed to Bonnaroo 2010 I was scared about all these stories I read about cops on I-24/under covers at the festivals/heat/portajohns/tent slashes - however I went and I'm really glad I did! There were some problems but above all I had an amazing time, met great people, made fantastic memories and tested myself.
It was great will be back and I plan to see more shows
REALLY? Taking time to post your dislike for ROO on a ROO Message board? Save your time and just leave. We don't need your speech or your plans for the future, just go already. I hate to say it but we will not miss you. BONNAROOOOO!

Jess remembers correctly. You walked up and announced yourself as the most hated poster on inforoo, and had me guess at your handle, which I didn't know because I'd never paid attention to you before. Then you pulled up a seat and while I was trying to have a conversation with Matt, you interrupted every sentence either one of us said. When my patience wore thin, I got up and went to hang out with Pondo and Monkey. A few minutes left you started puppydoggin' me again, and I ended up leaving the brunch early to get away from you. You can remember things like this when you're not shitfaced at 9am. I wish you no ill will, I hope you have a long, happy and fulfilling life. I will not miss you at next year's brunch, and I look forward to meeting everyone I missed this year because I had to leave to avoid you.
Hahaha, I love it when people who can't spell argue with me. It's like you don't even have to try.
Spelling? Really? Sounds like you are the exact type of d*uche that is keeping you from bonnaroo. look within before blaming everyone else, but I for one will rest easy tonight knowing that one less d*uchebag will be at the 'roo next year. good riddance and have fun at voodoo or wherever the quack you will be bringing the vibe down next.
The ole I'm a miserable asshole that no one likes on purpose defense. Classic.
You really think I didn't rack up 50 negative points in the span of a few months on purpose? You think I'm just being my true self on this board? The stupidity here is astounding.
So you are intentionally being a prick for the fun of it. I'm sorry, but what is keeping you from Bonnaroo? oh yea, assh*les like yourself.
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.
I know a lot frat boys that you would think are hippies before being a frat boy. Just Sayin.
Fo real? *looks around* I don't know anyone like that. *sees reflection* Oh yeah. My bad.
Btw, Vector, I read another post where you mentioned being a frat boy - or man I guess lol... just wanted to ask your opinion on what makes an individual a frat boy. Is it just going through the motions, or is there a culture you (not singling you out) are associated with?
