Um, or he could have taken it down because people were pissed a bunch of random people were contacting them? You guys are taking this a bit far, tbh. I don't disagree with the fact that he's a bit sketchy, but I'm sure these people don't want strangers tracking them down on Facebook and messaging them.

I would be thankful if a random person alerted me to a "sketchy" situation that I had put myself in, even if I knew what I was getting into, but I would not be happy, if someone put my full name and other information, in a public forum, for anybody to see and track me down on Facebook.
Eh, I don't think Karen was out of line. Frankly, if even 1 person on that bus made it over to some of the threads she linked to, it would do a lot of good. I'm really unnerved about the idea of this guy making money off a bunch of people who have never been to Bonnaroo before, and basically taking advantage of that naivete.
I'm just thinking of it from their perspective. He might have taken it down because he got nervous or he might have taken it down because he got a bunch of people contacting him saying they are being spammed by someone and they want their info off of the site. *shrug* Don't necessarily think it was out of line but maybe taken a bit too far.
It wasn't a bunch of people. It wasn't even a bunch of messages. It was one message sent one time.
So if one of these people learned that they need a shade tent or frozen water bottles for their cooler. Then I would say that is a success and not taking anything to far.
I bring up the frozen water bottles thing because on the ticket website their is a portion for question and answer.
This was his answer on what to bring. Q: Hi,
From researching on the Bonnaroo website, it looks like most people bring at a minimum: a tent, at least one cooler and a folding chair (s). Will it be possible for each of us to fit those 3 things on the bus? Can you get more specific with actual stuff we can fit in the bus so we aren't surprised in Brooklyn the day of.
Thanks.
A: I will be sending a more detailed document out this week. But I am keeping 3-4 rows on the bus empty just in case we can't fit everything in the caboose of the bus. If you're bring a cooler use it as storage if youre bring a chair make sure it can fold. You may have to keep some belongings under your seat if need be. This will be a tight ride but we won't be selling the bus out so we will likely be just fine. -Jnaimehr
Hear you Juggs. However my thoughts at this point have no bearing on the organizer, profit etc etc. Focused on the large number of first time Roo'ers traveling together with what appears to be limited packing space. Just want them all to arrive on the farm safely, hydrated, and with equipment for shade. More than a tad concerned about the excitement of whats to come getting to this group on the way down and they arrive unprepared. I hope a few have linked into IRoo and have read the threads on what to bring! Hope for everyones sake this turns into a positive experience and after the fact we can get some I told you so's...
When we were leaving Monday morning I saw lots of people lined up and three buses pulling up. Doubt it was the NYC Bus & Co because there were about 80 people waiting to get on the buses... but it was the first time I thought of them all weekend. Hope they were all ok.

If people responded to you originally....then I guess ask them. If you didn't get a response from some of them.....then I think contacting them would just be bothering them at this point.
I looked at that carina girl's twitter and it looks like the bus trip succeeded. How well, I dunno
I wouldn't trust her, though - she was a complete shill for the bus guy. She had like 45 posts on here and half of them were her talking about how awesome the bus was going to be.
I think you mean 'shoe', because he walked all over her.
Seriously though, I just want to know how the 100% free rape bus went.
LOL while I was banned from the forum, I had the opportunity to just watch and read the nonsense... You folks are amazing! First, the fact that you (Karen) went out of your way to harass some of the riders who were most definitely creeped out by you and certainly resulted in me having to take down the attendee roster, amazes me! You have no shame!!!
Second, the trip went perfectly, actually it went better than perfect and the kind folks over at Bonnaroo whose names I will keep anonymous allowed the bus to drop everyone off at Tent Only/right in front of centeroo.... Which was according to Superfly the first time in Bonnaroo history that someone (me) pulled that off.... On the return we were afforded the same gracious hospitality and the bus was yet again allowed to pick everyone up from the drop off location. EVERYONE got home safely.
The "newbs" including myself couldnt be happier and we all got to camp right outside of centeroo which to me was prime real estate... People were able to bring whatever they pleased on the bus including coolers, ez-ups, and the survey on the bus and via surveymonkey confirms the fact that everyone was estatic and would ride the bus again.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Karen, you directed them to Inforoo, right? Surely someone joined the board during that time.
These people are normal everyday people, many of which are in college, do you really think they give a shit about hopping on inforoo to talk to you creeps? Seriously?
Itrainmonkeys or anyone from the area, what do you make of the meet up place in Clinton Hill?
I use to live in Brooklyn and had a temp job a couple blocks away from his meet up point. I feel that it's all about his grocery store being right next to the Park and Ride. I mean Clinton Hill isn't the easiest area to access from the MTA or for people driving into NYC in general. The whole thing was just so self centered.
SFA - Not from the area however agree with this. The grocery store located at the pick up point and plugged in the announcement also appears to be this companies earliest contract/client.
I need to walk away from this thread. Had trouble falling a sleep last night. The Q/A suggests the attendees can drink on the bus all the way to TN. (Is everyone at least of legal age.) If this happens they could be dehydrated before they even get to the farm. Hope the Roo gods keep an eye on this group and favor them.
BTW, I am a partner at that grocery store, which everyone was made aware of multiple times... I picked this location because it was safe to hop on and off the bus under the BQE, grab beer, and let me work out of that office till it was time to go... Now I know there are a whole handful of creeps in this thread, so for the record I dont work out of that office so dont come looking for me....

what idiot puts personal information out there in a puclic forum like you did. Harassment is different than informing a group that there leader is not who he says he is and 2 weeks before the "big trip" he did not even know how to get to Bonnaroo.

So you are saying that you got to drive the bus into the campgrounds right up to tent only. They just let your bus drive right in. Then superfly personally told you this was the first time this has ever happened? *cough*Bull-Shit*couch*

You folks are truly a piece of work....
Till next year,

I would like to hear form some of your pleased passengers and not the girl you use to promote this when you first started it. People on here would have been supportive of you, if you would have not been such a pompous ass, people were trying to give you advice and your attitude was shit, you story had holes and you could not fill those holes in and it still does. Good luck with your next adventure.

" or his tale of Noah and the Ark-pocalyse. Those rule.
Plenty of people who'd help me kick your ass off the bus no worries.
