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!!
How did everyone feel about the survey Bonnaroo sent out today? (I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet) I was pleasantly surprised that they took the time to create a survey and addressed the porto issues and the traffic wait time. I also chuckled when they asked who you wanted to see at Bonnaroo 2011... I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours
I mentioned the rude parking people, the Solar Stage sound issues, and tall grass in tent only, but also complimented them on the offering of free water.
I didnt get one either - but I also did not buy my ticket last year from Bonnaroo (scored it off a friend). Hope I get the survey, I'd love to throw some junk in there!
AND ^^^^^^ Yes, JHo. Yes. well...I would add Beck. But otherwise, YES.

I got a survey! I'm pretty sure I gave them wayyyy more information than they actually wanted. I wrote them a freakin' novel! ;D
But it's awesome that they're looking for feedback, and I'm so pleased to see some of the specific questions they asked - they asked about traffic/wait times, info guides, portapotties, stuff like that. They're definitely trying to address some of the problems.
And I made sure to put in a word for bringing back the Sonic Forest and the Art of Such and Such! I wrote a ton of stuff and I've promptly forgotten half of what I wrote, but I mentioned everything I could think of. I've already thought of a couple things I forgot but oh well, such is life.

Well I forgot the rude parking lady and the small forest that I slept on, so it sorta balances out! Between the two of us we may have covered everything we meant to say.

I don't give a shit about the art of such and such. They can implement much better art throughout the grounds rather than have one giant installation. I never went over there in the first place.
Just saw my survey sitting in my mailbox from this morning. Going to fill it out now.

Aside from the portojons, which were obviously an issue, I talked about the Lunar Stage sound bleed and security. Regarding security, I mentioned the ridiculous shakedowns given the heat, and the fact that after being shaken down I saw VIPs hauling coolers, untouched, into Centeroo. My exact comment was: "If you're going to allow VIPs to openly break the rules in front of everyone else, then just put that in the package description for VIP access; you'll sell a lot more wristbands that way."
So I filled it out and everything but it never asked for any personal information. How the hell do I win my tics?
I'm guessing each e-mail address had a specific link-code. Because if you go back to the survey, it will tell you you've already taken it... so it knows.
My sentiments exactly. I really feel like it's a possibility that they'll bring back wsp cause they're real tight with the roo people but what a waste of a pretty high slot if they do
Also my list was
Radiohead Arcade Fire mmj

I didn't get one, I guess Superfly/AC doesn't think I'm special enough It's cool that they're making an effort to get some feedback / suggestions from their fans, though.
They'll be back one year, it's inevitable. There's only so many jam bands big enough to fill a Sunday headlining spot. I don't think they're as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but I can certainly understand why long-time Roo vets would get really sick of seeing them headline every other year. They certainly wouldn't be my first (or second, or third, or fourth) choice for a headliner, but there are worse options. I'm guessing by 2013 or 2014 some of the anti-WSP sentiment will have died down and they'll be on the farm again. I'm wondering if they could ever be demoted to a Which Stage late night, in which case I don't think people would mind nearly as much.

voted for Neil, Allmans, and Muse. Really wanted MMJ Arcade Fire and Radiohead too. but they said 3.
I was quite verbose about, among other things, the line to get in, rude parking attendants, being placed in camping with no facilities of any type except a few portapots a good hike away...and people who came in later than me being placed closer in, water availability, shade/misting tent availability, having some portapotties or something for people waiting in line to get in (I pointed out that at 50 I am not inclined to pee in a cornfield if sober), bringing back Art of Such and Such, and couple more that I cant recall. I wrote quite a dissertation.
;D
I just wonder how closely they'll review the results.
