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 it's a little on the late side, but it's better late than never, right?
Well, this was my first year at Bonnaroo and my first year starting a new website, so I was very lucky and thankful to get the opportunity to cover the festival as part of the press this year. I was reading Inforoo every few days back in March and April when I was thinking about going and then checked it pretty much hourly at home from when I found out I was going in May.
I wrote up a lengthy trip report on my site about how I was able to go on the trip, my experience doing a hotel instead of camping, mini-reviews on all 40+ bands I saw, and just how I felt about the experience in general. This is probably going to be the most positive report you've seen, especially about the bands. I just loved being there. I also developed a new site design and style just for Bonnaroo and I think its pretty cool.
If anyone cares or has any time to read what I had to say, please check it out. It's way too long to post on here, but I gave a shout out to Inforoo for helping me out on the trip and for the setlists I could post on my site for a database feature.
Here's the main page of my site if you have any additional interest to see what I do on the site: www.themilkcarton.com/
Please message me or delete any parts that are out of line as far as self-advertisement and I apologize beforehand if anything is. Thank you for reading and thanks Inforoo for everything you do! As soon as I finish up my links page, this will be featured on there for sure.

I thought everyone was over this year's Bonnaroo and wouldn't care about reading it
I read it as well. Nice report. It's weird to read one from somebody who didn't stay on the farm grounds though. Almost like you were lording that hot shower over all of us peons
Hahaha, no way! I'm the loser who didn't have the balls to stay on grounds, so I look up to you guys. I *did* enjoy my experience though and no one looked down on us when we were at Roo talking about how the hotel experience was, so I felt like I was still part of the family. I was the one afraid to be a misfit.
Honestly, I almost definitely would have stayed on grounds if I knew I could get my car out whenever I wanted, but I felt some sense of claustrophobia being trapped there and I don't have the luck to get an end space. Not that I thought I would have needed to leave, but just in case. I'm a zombie if I don't get enough sleep as well and I haven't camped since I was in my single digits, so I didn't want to chance it. Excuses, excuses, huh? =p
How can you get sick of reading about Bonnaroo? I sorta like the reviews weeks... months later because it renews all your own memories. Thanks to you for giving me something good to read so I can procrastinate a bit more!

Thanks for reading fellow Ohioan!
Cool...karma to you my Ohio brutha'.
I was messin' with ya'. You should try camping next year though.
I liked what you said about Micheal Franti. The show was my favorite of the bunch. I took some friends with me who had never heard of him and now they're big fans. It was totally infectious.

Oops, sorry about that. I'll correct that so I don't spread any misinformation.
It's hard to keep track of every artist to the depth you wish you could know them and I've since learned that that's the name of the band and not just an alter-ego for the lead yet didn't know my wording in the report said otherwise. Thank you.

Yeah, it's nice to have them staggered at all times to relive the experience and to get another reflection on the whole festival. I haven't gotten tired of reading about Roo, but I thought a number of people might have gone into hibernation already.

We really wanted to stay for more of him and you kick yourself a little for not knowing more about an artist beforehand or getting the recommendation to see them, but we were both happy with what we had to opportunity to watch and now I know where to focus my attention next time he's in town or at a festival.
Camping next year will probably depend on whoever I go with and if the chances are higher of the dust settling down a bit.
