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!!
Got the info--looks like media check-in is at the Manchester/Coffee County Conference Center this year instead of at the radio station. Hopefully that means it'll be less of a fustercluck than usual.
I was thinking that we should establish a Twitter tag to help us share info, goings-on in the press area, and such. #bonnaroopress seems logical.

Starting to worry because I haven't received the media check-in directions yet. My blog actually expired at some point last week, and I was actually unaware of it until I noticed I wasn't getting any new emails for a few days, because my email is connected with my blog. My blog is back up and running, and email's working too, I was just hoping any emails sent during that down time would automatically be resent.
Myself and another mod will be representing Inforoo as press this year. We haven't gotten an email about directions or place of pick-up yet either. Glad to know someone has, and glad as hell that we don't have to go to the radio station. Hopefully it will be less than a 3 or 4 hour wait this time. Highly looking forward to another press opportunity. Doing my band research today for some interview action.
well that seems odd that they would spend the time to care what we were doing before we even get to the fest... now if people were bragging about it that would be different, but us press folks need somewhere to talk about the fest too, and what better place is there to talk about bonnaroo than here?
just curious, hassled on here or through email address? they havent said a word to me and been nothing but polite and timely, but I dont post here just all the time, guess I shouldnt change that lol
Meg is referring to the fact that an Inforooster was contacted by Bonnaroo and told that it wasn't professional for them to be posting on Inforoo about their press passes...
Uhhhh....What? There's gotta be more to that then meets the eye. Cause that seems kinda crazy like.
Last I knew the press still had to put their pants on in the morning like me, so.... what I'm trying to say here is what's the difference? Credentials, ok, I'll give you that, but are people really going to take themselves so seriously that they can't (without being a "professional") have a conversation about the anticipated press coverage at Bonnaroo? I hope most of the press are fans and not folks just there to do a job; seems like you'd get more interesting stories that way, IMO.
Just got my check-in details today. However, it does not look like they have us going around all the traffic, like the exit we were told to take last year (which I won't mention on here) but rather this year we're supposed to take an exit that is pretty much right across the highway from the farm, and by taking that exit that they've told us to take, it appears we'll be stuck in the highway mess. Check in is definitely at the Holiday Inn Conference Center which is right across the street from Wal-Mart. One week to go, can't wait!!!
If it's not out of line to say, let me encourage everyone in the press corps to BRING A POWER STRIP. Bring a cheap one, write your name and email on it, plug it in somewhere in the tent or the trailer, and leave it. Those of us with stuff to charge (that is, all of us) will thank you.

MODS!
I really think if you are going to go in and delete my post and Bamabelle's posts that you should have deleted this one also.
Seems to me if you want to be delete happy it should go all the way across the board, eh??? And the fact is my post wasn't crazy and I tried to take care of it discretely via pm after this post and then the result was that my previous post got deleted without even a response to my pm? Really??
