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'm home from my first Roo...and I have to say that the dust was unbearable, as was the heat, and I thought I would be so relieved to be out of there... but right now I am missing the farm so much!
As a now 6-time vet I can tell you that this was by far the most dusty it has ever been. Don't leave with the impression that it is always that dusty. 2004 will always be known as Mudaroo, and 2007 will from now on be known as Dustaroo.
I just got in... I wish I could have met more Inforoo people... though I did happen to meet quite a few of them!
I tried to find the Inforoo Campsite one night, but i could not find that flag! Our schedule was so hectic. We always ended up bouncing around from place to place. Phenomenal time though! One thing that was the worst...
THE BLACK LUNG. (Fuckin' Dust)
I gotta get in bed or I'm going to pass out face first (again... Yeah, I passed out once while backstage) on the floor.
Good to hear everyone has made it home safely so far. Wife and kids were driving back from forth everyday and I would get concerned with her driving back that late at night after spending all day in the heat. But seems everyone had a great time and hopefully next year I'll be there with them.
She says she sleepy and plans on going to bed early tonight. PFT Not when I have off and can talk to her she still has to send me all the pictures she promised to take.
We left last night around 11 and got home this morning at 10. stupid clock change, stupid farmland that puts me to sleep @ the wheel. Got home safe, just need to unpack.
which sounds like a lot of no fun.
I honestly didn't think the heat was so bad. It was worse for us in 05. And the shade canopy I bought was worth every penny.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
I just got home from my first bonnaroo. I'm exhausted, I smell horrible, and I'm covered in dirt, but I'm completely in love. It was up there on one of the best experiences of my life. Regardless of the heat and the dust, I met a lot of wonderful people and saw really great music. I miss it already (I actually cried on the way home...I'm a sap, I know.) But, I will return next year and I hope to share an awesome time with all of you!
We have been home for a few hours - picked up kids, made dinner and such - I just got out of the best shower of my life and Boz is now bathing.
While I was gone my MIL went grocery shopping, paid the daycare bill, cleaned up my house and had a yard service come and do a whole bunch of work in the yard that I intended to do tomorrow - now I get to sleep all day - YAY!

Home....YAY? YAY for hot showers!!! Booo for no more music!!! Tired but happy!! Got to do everything I wanted and then some....dusty, dirty, exhausted! But ready to go back!!!
Got home last night. Had a blast. Dust was unbearable! Though, I thought the weather was the best so far, not as hot as most Roos and nice cool nights for sleeping.

It was certainly nice to meet you guys. How chance was that that we set up camp next to each other? Fantastic time, you guys were great!

We got home to my sister's house in the country around 1130 Sunday night and boy was that the best shower ever.
Sorry I didn't meet any of you. I was so exhausted and burned out by the heat I really couldn't enjoy myself or get around much. I ended up using a dust mask by Saturday and that helped, although I am still coughing up a good bit. Friday I spent trying to drink plenty of water, about 3 liters or so, apparently way too much liquid without any calories, and eat small healthy meals of cheese, yogurt and fruit and even 1/2 a corn dog for "supper". I still felt kind of shaky and light headed and since I had spent the previous hour before eating, stumbling over and into everyone leaving the comedy tent after the show, I went down to the medical tent in my camp R2D2. My blood sugar was 40 and I ended up in the hospital for the night. I checked out okay. In other words, I hadn't had a heart attack too, so they let me go about 1pm Sat. but there was no ride back and I had to walk a mile or so to get back to roo~ Saw the Police, it was great.
Troo, if this was a relatively cool 'roo, in terms of the heat index, I don't know about coming back, 'cause that heat whipped my tail and I was constantly misting and fanning with a little battery fan!
I don't know how everyone stands the heat, looks like I am real intolerant of it as the years go by. Perhaps an RV experience for the future....
more later. Glad to be back in my cool retreat, but I miss the farm and all the 'roo hoopla terribly already.
Welcome back laura... this year's post-Roo shower was even more pleasant than most. I think Troo was speaking of the temperatures which are about right for most Roo's (90's in the day/60's at night). I cannot stress enough the severity of the drought middle Tennessee is going through right now (13" under normal) and want you to know that this is by far the dustiest it has ever been. The combination of the dust and heat was overwhelming to me and I have never had any respiratory or allergy problems in my life. I can't imagine what someone with any health problems went through this weekend. I'm glad you made it back all right and got to enjoy at least some of your weekend.
As soon as we packed up the van I was ready to unpack it again. Roo '08!
Hope everyone had a safe trip home. It was fun to pick out on the way back up to Ohio all the cars that had been to Bonnaroo... can't miss the thick layer of dust.

Third 'Roo in a row this year, I think you definitely adjust to the conditions....it was hot as hell and dusty as shit of course, but the music was so amazing that I would forget all about those things....

I got home a week ago, and every day I've woken up in my cozy bed (except for the one night waking up on a bathroom floor, but that's another story) thinking "man, I wish I was waking up at 830 covered in sweat on the farm and cracking open a cold one right now..."
I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to...
Took me about a week for my body to fully recover and regain some sleep but I could do it all over!
