Patience does not come easy for me and you're right! I just saw one of my favorite bands earlier in the week and they're from Memphis...I could listen to them just talk for hours, haha.
relax, be yourself, enjoy the music and the vibe and you will meet a lot of people. Most everyone is easy going and friendly and enjoys a random conversation with a stranger. It's a microcosm for what the world should be.
converse with someone random in a foreign language.
Can I steal your asperation?! I took German in High School, French in College, and i am now learning Spanish from the Mexican ladies I work with,,, and I want to have a use for it SO BAD! (besides "con permiso" as I squeeze past them in the hall)
1. Finally make in to the Inforoo Brunch! (come hell or high water!) 2. Enjoy what may be a reunion of my 'Roo crews from 2007-2010, fer what may be a final round of shinanigans as we all are plannin' things in life that could keep some or all of us from goin' next year/followin' years. 3. See all of MMJ this year. 2008 I had wayyy too much to drink and all, and couldn't hang after the halfway mark. Won't happen again. 4. Meet more amazin' new neighbors! 5. Would be nice, but not really gonna go fer it, but I'd fer sure like to have sex at Bonnaroo. Prolly on Thurs/Fri though. 6. Enjoy the hell outta my five year anniversary on The Farm!
There might be others...but I'll leave that fer an updated post or somethin'.
This will be my first bonnaroo and i am so excited for it already.
Reading the different stories you guys have been sharing from times past, expectations about what is to come, and the general awesomeness of the event have me thinking about what my first time will be like and what i want to accomplish.
i was going to come up with a list of various goals to accomplish, almost like a scavenger hunt style, (ps has anyone done a roo scavenger hunt before?) but i decided to just go with a few.
1. Meet someone nice from Chicago because i have an totally unwarranted hatred for that city based solely on its garbage airports. I'm hoping a nice person can change my view.
2. Crowd surf. Something i have never done before but i'd like to before this festival is over.
3. actually hug a free hugs person. I've seen them before at different festivals but they never actually seemed willing to give out hugs. i feel the roo vibe will be diff and i can manage to snag at least one.
so those are my 3 random goals for bonnaroo, hopefully i can get them all knocked off in my inaugural expereience.
What are some other goals of the inforoo populous?
#2 crowd surf......Gogol Bordello will be your best bet for that
^^Ha ha well at least it is the kind of pressure you cant do anything about other than show up and be yourself so as far as pressure goes its the best kind.

I think walking away with a bunch of new music loving friends (believe it or not I've had friends turn the trip down because they just don't like music that much~) is going to be the best experience!

I'm guessin' that's a big reason a lot of my friends don't go either. It's hard enough to get some of them to a local concert, let alone drive a long distance and camp out fer 4 days. Oh well, I've had a good but slightly different crew every year I've gone to Bonnaroo. This will be the first year that most of my crews will unite together! Very excited!
1. Attend the inforoo brunch (I'm 1 for 5 so far ) 2. Get backstage...somehow 3. Catch the last set in the silent disco and stay until it closes 4. Sleep til noon
a very important goal is not to accomplish any major screwups by missing something awesome like LCD Soundsystem, only to later realize how incredible they are, followed by an announcement that they are breaking up
Enjoy the quick and well needed break from life that I get in those four days, cause before I know it il be back to 40hrs a week and broke from bills....ohh and have the time of my life of course.
Basically this. I'll be taking a week off of work to make the trip down there and back, and I just hope to enjoy the most of it so the following week will be the worst week of my life due to cabin fever of being back home.

We need to get you somethings, like a day planner, an alarm clock, a compass, maybe a GPS, and a watch, and a cabana boy. You are always missing things. (brunch last year) ;D

new goal is to see at least one show with my friend Kim who just told me shes going for the first time. i was pretty shocked because i have spent so much time trying to convince people to go with me and she decided to go independently of me doing so. Im now more excited about this than any band. BONNAROO!!! my pre roo goal is to figure out a way to get there... hmm...

Oh, I think "have some sort of Roo-fling" used to be on my list and since I have now acquired a boyfriend who probably would not like that I think I will replace it with "make a friend!"
And here is a goal for all of you: find me a beer that I actually like. Although I will admit that that might be an impossible goal.
