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 know there are some thanks and positive feedback scattered throughout, but I think it would be cool to see how many people were blessed by the kindness of others.
I'd like to thank... 1) the guy who threw my friend a water bottle while we were running to catch up with our car on Thursday. we got out to walk in the stopped traffic, and then the traffic started MOVING, leaving us a mile behind in the sun. that water saved us. 2) the lovely lady from Manchester who picked us up and drove us awhile in that traffic caravan. sweet to meet a local and her two lovely daughters. very friendly. 3) our neighbors for being cool and considerate. 4) the nice gals from Philly who shared with my husband and me during the Roots. thanks. 5) the people who helped our friend keep the blanket territory during Ben Harper/before the Police. We were able to find him and have space while waiting for the Police. 6) the guy at the medic tent who did such a great job taping up my blister that i was able to enjoy the rest of the weekend. even when it burst, it did not get infected! amazing! 7) the artists. all of them. 8) all the positive people for making my first roo a ton of fun. we were a group of four newbies and all came away with a fantastic experience - hope to do it again.

I'd like to thank:
1. My girl Mandi for being kind enough to go to Bonnaroo and get really sick afterwards, despite not knowing hardly any of the bands playing... that is love. 2. The guy who came around the campsite (Mortimer Duke) at like 7:00am Friday morning with some wonderful windowpane medicine at a fair price. 3. The wookies who managed not to steal from my tent/cooler/car. 4. The guy at John Butler who let me use his lighter in return for a puff. 5. My 19 year old hard-rock loving neighbor who told me and my girl "I hope I'm that cool when I'm your age" (I'm 25 going on 50 apparently). 6. Everyone at Bonnaroo who spread all those wonderful vibes, didn't complain too much, were helpful to others, watched out for the safety of those around you, and didn't judge/stereotype/hate on anyone else; much love to you guys. 7. The complainers for not doing it near my tent or in my ear. 8. Superfly/AC productions for not letting the task of entertaining 80,000 people for 4 days overwhelm them - you guys kick ass. 9. All the helpful people on this board who made my first Bonnaroo a wonderful experience and filled me with pre-Roo knowledge, I'll try to pass on the love as much as I can hear prior to 2008.

Thank you to:
1. The guy sitting beside us at the Police. He was so friendly and made our trip! 2. The shade trees that kept me alive during the day. 3. The people that understand why some of us have complaints and don't complain about our venting. 4. My fellow inforoosters that helped me prepare for Roo. I couldn't have done it without you. 5. The weird neighbors we had. You were crazy and offensive, but I have some funny memories because of you. 6. The people that actually used the trash cans and recycling centers. 7. That slice of veggie pizza that was so tasty at night. 8. My wonderfully amazing boyfriend. I love him so much and I'm glad we got to experience this together!
1. My campmates who obsess about the campsite. We were so comfortable 2. The kid at Keller who had a special treat that he shared 3. The guy who gave me and the hubby water when we ran out. 4. Warren Haynes, for just being 5. Superfly/ AC for providing the canvas to paint my adventure on 6. Inforoo for giving my compulsions an outlet

Just off the top of my head:
-The people selling $1 Grilled Cheeses on Shakedown -Anyone who ever, even for just one second, sprayed water somewhere besides solely on themselves -Everyone I met on the way to shows that kept me company while my friends I came with had sex in the tent inbetween every show. -The thieves that stole my cooler. Thanks for waiting until Sunday night when all my good beer was gone. I hope you love the Beast as much as I do
I'd like to thank everyone who misted me at random points throughout the weekend, the girl who shared her lemonade during Bob Weir, the folks who shared their goodies, the crowds at all the shows I went to (every crowd seemed high energy and kept me from remembering how tired I was), everyone who picked up their trash or others' trash, and all the musicians who make me want to come back every year!

Roll Tide Thanks to Nick and Lynne for keeping me level. Thanks to the arby's guy for the laughter at the police show.

Thanks to: Our neighbors from Nashville for helping us enjoy or campsite experience a little more. The VIP staff for making our stay as comfortable as possible. My camelpak - saved my life this year...didn't have one last year. People who were able to find more positives than negatives out of their roo experience and didn't feel the need to "complain" or "vent" about it. Tool, John Butler Trio, Damien Rice, Gillian Welch, Michael Franti and Flaming Lips for melting my face off!
Thank you to Bonnaroo!! You're a great great thing! Can't wait till next year!

oh man, same damn thing happened to a couple of our freinds (however no one gave them water, but just laughed at them because each time they made head way, traffic moved so they kept running past the same cars)
-thanks to the girl who on thursday going into center Roo said "hey you in the white bandana" and tossed me a water bottle -thanks to the mist tents set up around that I discovered are the secret to Roo life -thank you to the guy at Hot Tuna who added upon our already enhanced state -thanks to the people at The Police that stopped me and asked me to a sit a minute withthem while I was wondering around aimlessly when I got seperated from my freinds -thanks to the Roo gods for havinf my freind randomly find me as they were walking to The Flips and pretty much tripped over me -Thanks to all for an AWOSME time

......the good folks at Superflt/ AC Entertainment who gave us a line up that looked good at first, but blew me away and made me enjoy the weekend even more than I thought I would when I first saw it. You guys have my back.
Ditto! Plus... Trish, Kim, Chris, The Big Hassle Media Team, Tom Morello, and the people around me at the White Stripes who kept the crowd surfers from killing me!

-Thanks to my neighbors for helping me with my tent (an impossible job for a one man crew). -Thanks to the girl I met before Regina Spektor who kept me company and gave me some Cheez-its. -Thanks to the guy who kept me company for awhile before Clutch when I was feeling down about my exhaustion/dust eye. -Thanks to my friend Taylor who gave me $10 when I was running out of money. -Thanks to the people who forced me to stay at the Flaming Lips (after me expressing apprehension about staying since I hardly heard a FLips song before that moment) when I curiously strolled up to their party two hours before their set. -Thanks to the various people who gave me sips of water when I ran out. -Thanks to the Current tent for being a fucking awesome place to nap. -And of course, thanks to Superfly/AC, clean vibes, and the bands who made Bonnaroo possible.
;D
