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 would go and drink Natty Light out of a keg and listen to a gospel station on a mono speaker AM radio on that field with each of you on this board even if there were no bands at all.
...Every year I go to Bonnaroo with a pretty big croo, and we all take part in the "Seasons of Roo" together, and it's a freakin blast! But this is the first year that my Roo family might not all be able to make it As sad as I am, I'm also glad that, this year during "Roo anticipation season", I actually started checking out the boards for more than just rumors. It's like a nice little dysfunctional family!
I always have a decent sized crew, but it has never been all of the same people except fer myself. It's strange. I will say I've always had at least one 'Roo veteran and one virgin. I'm excited that this year I'll have a big reunion on the farm with many veterans of my various crews! But I feel you on bein' sad some can't make it. That just means the next time they can go will be that much more excitin'!

I am giddy for this year, to the point of not being able to get school work done.
I went in 2007 and 2008 and this year I will be making a triumphant return with either 1 to 5 Roo virgins. I simply can't wait. I will lead my flock to the promised land and give them the guidance I learned through the "Roo of Hard Knocks".
2009 and 2010 sucked and were the worst years of my life. The economy took its toll on me financially, infighting within my family, etc. But I think more so, my absence from the Roo could be directly related to the sorrow and crappiness of those years.
This year it all changes. I will make my exodus to the most beautiful place on Earth with the most beautiful people on Earth.
So I purchased my ticket a few days ago and was nervous as all get out. This will be my first Roo and will be going solo but since then it has been a long 2 or 3 days. I have a feeling the next 102 days or whatever it is will drag on and on
Yea thats cool. So far from the picture that is being painted for me is that roo people are a lot like the people you run into at a DMB concert. Chill, easy going, friendly, etc. It should be a good time but it is to far away.

Wally World is great, its like a small town there. It's truly a bazaar on the pilgrimage. You stock up on food,drinks,camping gear, tarps, camelbacks(?). A great meeting place from people everywhere. And you will meet unsavory characters like a dirty wookette reeking of beer with a 40 in her hand demanding you buy her shoes.
As far as all the metaphors go, I was listening to Beats Antique when i was writing this. The wookette isn't a metaphor, just something funny that happened last year.

I don't think you used any metaphors, buddy. And if you had just bought her the shoes she would've shut up. Maybe.
If she decided to spend her money on some cheap sandals as opposed to beer and whatever else, I would not have to do it.If that goes against the peace-love vibe, then sorry to disappoint, it's her responsibility. When I politely said I couldn't do it, she got angry and insisted, so no I'm not going to give in to that. Come on buddy.

First Bonnaroo. Already can't stop screaming BONNAROOOOOO everytime I see one of the 2 other people who I am going with. Went to Sasquatch festival last year and noticed the sense of community at music festivals in the US is way better than Canada. I can't wait to meet some new people, see some great music and have the best weekend of my life.

Just givin' you some shit, son. I know she was just an annoyin' wook and you were the one who she unfortunately decided to harass.
