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!!
Although I'm not one of you, I have much respect for the people who go to Roo' and end up sober throughout. You're a rare breed!! A combination of the great music, exhaustion, and availability make the drugs almost mandatory for most of us. Some dude, who knows what he was on, had his shirt over his head and plowed into my buddy sitting at our campsite. This dude just wouldn't take the shirt off his head and literally begged us not to cut off his head. He was clutching his head like we were about to rip it off. The guy ended up wandering like 200 yards til he reached a fence, freaked out, and ended up doing a header over like an 8 foot fence, with the shirt still covering his head. It was insane.
I ended up lost and stumbling around the festivities late Saturday night and I came across this crazy scene with people dancing on a trampoline with these huge fireballs and a drum circle surrounding them. This was in the middle of thousands of people waiting for a show to start in one of the tents. I turned around and some girl dressed as a princess had like 20 people dancing and following her like she was real royalty! It was unreal. It reminded me of King Jaffe Joffa from Coming to America. I was thinking..."If I'm fucked up, what the hell are these pyro people on the trampoline on, who the hell is this Princess, and why in God's name am I standing here watching these people???!!" Gee, I wonder.

Haha, silent bob is horribly cliche, you should be ashamed wooz...... I didn't feel awkward or tempted at all. I don't think it was really weird for anyone who was messed up around me either, i think the inforoo camp could attest to this.
At some points I was messed up and at some points I was completely sober. It just depended on what mood I was in at the time whether I partaked in anything or not. The music was great either way, the extracurriculars were fun but not necessary to enjoy the fest. I certainly didn't look down on anyone who turned down a hit as I did the same many timea, and accepted them as many times. Either way, as long as you had a good weekend, who cares what you did or didn't do?! Bonnaroo is about having a good time, whatever that entails and as long as it doesn't hurt someone else.
no drugs for me, ever. My girlfriend was having a good time on acid and weed though. Someone also offered her a hit and she smoked thinking it was weed, but it was opium. S'cool though.
my wife and I were clean the whole time. not into teh drug scene at all so we sometimes felt a little out of place, like the 1% that was weird to many. Last year I drank a few beers but that was all.
nice to see others that did not use any drugs out tere
I haven't touched weed since my early 20's when I quit smoking, it's kinda hard to enjoy it when you're coughing up a lung. We only drank beer and liquor this weekend and only got drunky drunk one day. I have no problem with drugs (not that there are any at Bonnaroo), I do have a problem with those people who think that if you don't do drugs, you're not getting into the "vibe" or that if you drink alcohol, you're getting into the wrong "vibe". Whatever floats your boat. I was happy as a clam and had a great buzz Saturday.
I couldn't get over how many times I was offered drugs this weekend (although not at Bonnaroo, because there are no drugs at Bonnaroo), was quite amusing.
I was shocked at the amount of pregnant women I saw f*cked up on something or other, we saw pregnant woment smoking joints or chugging beers. Whatever your vice is, doing it whilst pregnant is dumb.

Not dumb. Sickening and criminal.
But anyway, I got a genuine question for anyone who's reading this that does toke at Bonnaroo: WTF is with all the cigarettes?! It's not illogical to think that if you smoke one you'd smoke the other, but I just couldn't figure out how nearly every single person I've ever seen light up at all 4 Bonnaroos I've attended smokes a cig right after. What is it about the activity, the sensation or the lifestyle that makes everyone want a cigarette right after? Please explain, I've been wondering this for a while.

Do any of you think it's a little hypocritical of these boards to lock threads that talk about drugs, but leave ones like this open (that still turned into drug talk)? There are many, many threads that talk about drugs. Some are locked, some are not.
Two beers the whole 'roo. One free one on Thurs night and one on Sat. night in the jazz tent. Not so much as a ciggy otherwise. Ate like a horse and drank two cases of water (yes, 2 cases by myself, wife drank almost 2 cases also), but the only mind-altering affects we felt came from the killer music and awesome people around us (and the sleep deprivation).
We've had our share of experiences and tripped through our early 20s but these days we tend to take it a little more chill. .
All that said, if someone we trusted had offered us a drag of something soft and mellow we probably would have partaken, but our outward appearance as very square tends to discourage such random acts of kindness. It's not that most people were overly judgmental about we "weekend warriors" (as the deadheads used to say), though we did run into a few of those, but just that folks are quite reasonably more cautious about a mid-30s couple that doesnt look like they party. No big thang, we just need to make more friends earlier on next year!
Wish we had made it over to camp inforoo ... Will definitely catch ya all there next year!

Where is the consistency in the rules?
/agree
Edit: and I'll expand.. its not just the mods who are responsible for making sure the rules are followed... its everybody, read your post before you post it, no drukq talk means no drukq talk, not lets talk about how we saw all of these things and chose not to do them. Hey, thats your choice and I hope you had a great time, but...

i quit smoking cigs for like 3 years, and then i had some bad things happen a couple months ago so i started again, and ive found that i only really enjoy it after i smoke green or drink a beer... im not sure, but i think since drugs (including alchohol) are pain killers, it makes the cigarette go down perfectly smooth and all you have is the good feeling of the nicotene.... because in general, cigarettes hurt my lungs (and yeah i know.... duh)
As your attorney I advise you to drive at top speed and it'll be a Goddamn miracle if we get there before you turn into some kind of wild animal. Are you ready for that? Checking into a Las Vegas hotel under a phony name with the intent to commit capital fraud with a head full of acid? I certainly hope so...
Anyone have any idea how the kid who died, actually died? Anyways it probably has something to do with this conversation.
I am not one of the drugless roo'ers, but when it came to the one point of the weekend where I didnt feel comfortable being amongst the public we stayed in camp. No offense, but what is the point of this thread? Its not like people who do illegal drugs dont hear enough crap from random friends and family. I smell smug coming from peoples arses because they're proper citizens. Alot of people participate in these things at bonnaroo because its one of the few places you can walk down the street by yourself, staring in the sky laughing so hard your crying without the cops being called on you.
If you stay sober more power to you, but dont start a thread taking the high road because you do.

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

cigarettes give you a slight buzzed feeling... a perfect start to your new buzz you are about to have after the NON-drukqs you just didn't do because there's no drukqs at Bonnaroo. i personally don't smoke cigarettes ever... but it enhances the enhancements is all.
I can't say I was sober the whole time, but I seriously can not fathom how people managed to have energy to get drunk ALL day during that heat, and all night during those shows and then get up and do it again the next day. I would have died. I drank only at night on thursday, and other than that I stayed clear away from alcohol.
