It's Wednesday and I'm still having Roo withdrawals. I probably will for awhile. I like to think about what someone said...think of ways to make your life in "the real world" more like it is at Bonnaroo. That's what I've been trying to do...
my first year, my withdraw lasted a while. I think i was in a bit of a culture shock. Last year, its lasted a little less, but long. I was laid off the day before Roo, so i had time to chill and continue the party, this year i had to go back to work right away

seeing the countdown say that the "Occasion already passed!" is what really got to me... all those days staring at the counter thinking that time couldn't pass fast enough and now it's all over

Last year I had a bit of a quarter-life crisis after coming home from Bonnaroo. This year I'm taking it a bit better, but it still isn't easy. I agree with what bamadancer said about taking the best aspects of Roo and trying to bring them into your everyday life. We can all use a little more love, peace, friendship and music in our lives!
Yeah, hopefully this will pass soon. I've actually gotten teary-eyed a few times since I've been home. But, I'm sure things will get back to normal soon enough. When do they start selling tickets for next year?

I thought I was lame for getting teary after Roo...now I dont feel so bad! It does make me sad to see the "Occasion Already Passed!" up there though It definitely has motivated me to go to more festivals and concerts. I am saving up for Lolla or Allgood, whichever I can save up for first!
They will do an early bird sale in December...start saving!
me and my girlfriend both are really sick... i guess from the dust inhale... but we both have to work litterally all week untill sunday... i just want roo back
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...

i never get sick but i have a tad of the roo flu...i think the dust promoted itself into my nostrils and lungs and fomented the establishment of local evils....i totally lost my voice by sunday and it wasn't just from screaming lyrics

i got sick too... today is probably the worst as far as sniffles and coughing go. i've done enough festivals to not get the post-depression, but i always get sad at having to say goodbye to new friends that i'll probably never see again. my neighbors were some cool cats, real cool, and all i know is what state they're from, and that's what makes me sad. but it's neat in the same way cause you know that there are some mighty fine people out there in the world, and that is very refreshing.
I got a scratchy throat last night and today I am just dragging. I was the only one of my group who wasn't horribly affected by the dust - at least until now.
jambandfan... next time you should get there names... its easy to keep on touch on facebook. I completely agree though, there were so many people that we met at shows, that I have pictures of, and I will never see them again.... but whatever, everyone was awesome and your right that its good to know kind/happy people still exist

ive been sick since ive been back i have the roo-flu have been laid out on a couch/bed since monday
I don't have the roo-flu, however I did find out on my drive home that my girlfriend has this illness called Fifths Disease in which she was only contagious the week before Roo and takes around 10 days to infect. So now I'm itchy and covered in hives and apparently can expect to be this way for 3-5 weeks. Atleast it didn't kick in until after Roo...
yeah I'm deff suffering from post bonnaroo sadness. I'm trying real hard to keep my chin up though but i met so many awsome people and had such an amazing time I never wanted that feeling to end *sigh*.
But hey if any of you guys live near Michigan come check out the Dunegrass Festival... dunegrassfestival.com/ it an awsome festival in my tinny town and I would be more then happy to show people around and save them some awsome camping spots ^.^
I have hot eyes and itchy throat, but spent all of Roo sneezing my head off (if you were one of the nice people who said "bless you" five times to me during the show, i thank you and apologize again for the ruckus).
the big thing is that yesterday back at work, I felt pretty okay and productive. Today however I am utterly exhausted, unable to keep my eyes open and have no ability to do anything productive or useful at all. Thank goodness for inforoo!

I really have not turned on the TV at all since I have been back. I would much rather have convo and just chill with friends instead of watching that damn boobtube. I have already made plans to go see Tool next Friday in Cincy, maybe Black Keys here in Nashville (maybe), saw Dave Attell this last Monday, and maybe seeing Galactic in Louisville on July 21st. I dont want this weird feeling in me to go away, and I like this weird feeling.

It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."
My boyfriend was starting to feel sick just before roo and pumped up on vitamins to help. He felt great for all of roo but after a day back he started getting a sore throat. Maybe for him it's not roo flu but back to work flu!
As for me, I'm definitely going through post roo depression. However, it's evolving into a peaceful and happy sadness, if that makes any sense!
Oh! and I may have been the one you were thinking of with the making my everyday life feel more like it does when I'm at Roo statement - and i plan on doing so ;D - but i ended up deleting the post
