how much cash do you bring?

look, I didn't barge into this thread telling people they are morons for buying concert t-shirts. All i said was that I didn't get it. that is all. apparently the chasm between our perspectives was too daunting for some people to handle and I was prompted to elaborate on my position.
I don't speak from a place of hatred... if anything, i wish a few of you would take a quick step outside of your bias to see how much hatred has been directed towards me.... over a t-shirt bro.
I have spent enough time on various forums to know that once a person has established a certain narrative tone, that the voice they hear when they read those words can often times give off aberrational meaning. for example, due to the ambiguous nature of the exclamation point, if i were to use it to emphasize an ecstatic, joyous sentiment, it would most likely come off sounding like a hitler speech and you would picture me hammering my fist on a podium somewhere.
so yes, I am well aware that minds will not be changed on a forum, or in real life... especially by some stranger obsessing over minutia. so if nothing i type matters, what makes your words so useful?

this is a good stopping point because i can segue into 2 different rants. like a choose your own adventure book you get to pick which one comes next.
1) nihilism
2) the world is not PLUR

No I think you used the word whore

this is going to be my first roo and im thinking about 400$ will be good including gas, food, beer, and other miscellaneous items.

icantenough your clearly an intelligent dude use your noggin towards something more meaningful than peoples motives towards buying a t shirt and you will be well off.

i will reply with zen stories.

skattinn:
Two monks were washing their bowls in the river when they noticed a scorpion that was drowning. One monk immediately scooped it up and set it upon the bank. In the process he was stung. He went back to washing his bowl and again the scorpion fell in. The monk saved the scorpion and was again stung.

The other monk asked him, "Friend, why do you continue to save the scorpion when you know it's nature is to sting?"

"Because," the monk replied, "to save it is my nature."

mrmonotone:
During the civil wars in feudal Japan, an invading army would quickly sweep into a town and take control. In one particular village, everyone fled just before the army arrived - everyone except the Zen master.

Curious about this old fellow, the general went to the temple to see for himself what kind of man this master was.

When he wasn't treated with the deference and submissiveness to which he was accustomed, the general burst into anger.

"You fool," he shouted as he reached for his sword, "don't you realize you are standing before a man who could run you through without blinking an eye!"

But despite the threat, the master seemed unmoved.

"And do you realize," the master replied calmly, "that you are standing before a man who can be run through without blinking an eye?"

Last year I think I started out with a couple hundred bucks.

I did spend the last couple days more and more at the beer tent, and did make one or two stops at the ATM machines last year, and think I spent somewhere around $400-600 total, only buying like $50 in no-nos. I may or may not spend more this year. I also bought a $75 drum, so I won't need to do that again.

Whoa whoa whoa people come on now. What happened to the love and peace? Now this will be my first Roo but come on I thought Roosters or whatever "we/they/you" are called are peaceful people. I have seen many cases of this person calling that person stupid and tearing each other apart. Can't we get to the farm and have some fun and have people from all different walks of life have a fun time together and be friends?

i'm bringing $800.

$75 - gas and food on the way down
$150 - spending $ wednesday afternoon/night in nashville
$500 - various items (food, beer, merch, party favors) while at ROO
$75 - gas and food on the way home

And you continue to do exactly what I accuse you of.
Ya just should've liked t-shirts.

For me though, I plan to bring around 200. The majority of that chunk will go to gas but I only have a 4 hour drive. I only plan on eating the food I brought but one can never be sure. I'll probably get a few band tees and a knock off Bonnaroo shirt as well.

i hope corn and other things arnt over priced.. hope 2 ears of corn this year are bout $80

Oddly enough I also buy shirts that say you are a whore

Who would pay 300.00 for a brand of jeans called "true religion"? It sounds super douchey.

i will be busy getting a backstage silk at that time. i am going to wear it around, proudly displayed and stand in the middle of the street while crowds gather around, begging me to continue regaling them with the story of how I obtained it, over and over again.
people will talk to me, and find me interesting because of it. it will be awesome.
the only thing you have to look forward to is hoping to catch that wooks eye in the supermarket by walking in front of him with your Roo shirt a few times... then he finally looks at you and for those few magical seconds universes collide, volumes of understanding are communicated without a single word ever being spoke, time slows down, and in such a fluid and surreal way the experience climaxes, he slowly rocks his head back like an inverted nod and says "sup".
you will picture yourself giving yourself a high five and under your breath say "totally worth the 25 bucks". tears begin to well up but you shake it off like a man should and continue to reach for the 3 liter of mountain dew code red.

Well I'm going Total Access but I doubt people will want to talk to me or find me interesting because of it. Now if I was wearing True Religion jeans that would be a different story.

I think Pop is disgusting so I'm a bad person to ask.
