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!!
These past six months have been more trying than usual for me. I'm having some lame health problems and I had to take some time off of school to get a hold on my physical stuff and to maintain my mental sanity. This all required me to move back in with my parents (I love them, but ughhh) far away from pretty much all of my friends.
So this morning when I was on my way home from a crappier than usual 8am doctor's appointment and was wallowing in my own self-pity, it seemed like things were never going to get better. After snapping at my parents out of frustration, I went into my room and checked in on the inforoo boards...and now I feel so much better.
Reading these boards keeps the spirit of Bonnaroo fresh in my mind and heart. Even reading technical stuff about camping makes me happy and excited.
Knowing that in four months I'll be with some of my best friends, camping, laughing, and hearing great music on that timeless feeling farm where I know from experience that my worries and anxiety will melt away, truly makes this day, tomorrow and the next 3 months seem bearable.
Just needed to get that out there. Thanks for keeping my spirits lifted

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, Ray. That's so sweet that you gave him a little 'Roo something to keep with him, I'm sure he really appreciates that gesture.
Who is in the fourth pic Meg posted? Whoever you are you are super cute.

I need it because 2007 sucked for so many reasons and I am so glad it's over. This year is already leaps and bounds above last year ( literally from the first few minutes on) and Bonnaroo will continue that.

I need it because I need to feel what you all have felt. I need to know how it feels to be 'one' with 80,000 other people. To be yourself and know yourself and others around you are being genuine and enjoying themselves. These past two years have been filled with betrayal, backstabbing, lies, and people I should never have surrounded myself with.
The atmosphere and people at Bonnaroo will prove to me that there are other people out there who believe in staying true to themselves and true to others.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. If only you had come any year before this one, things would have been exactly as you were hoping. As you may have heard, all that was changed when this year's line-up was released. Now, the experience at the Roo will only be 9,990 times better than the real world, rather than the usual 10,000 times. ;D Welcome to Inforoo!!!
ok so Jan 07 I lost my husband, father of my 3 year old Piper Rose and stepfather to my precious11 year old Bail-cat. We lost him in a way that doesn't need explaination...but none the less he is gone. Horrible repercussions for my oldest and they are starting with my 3 year old and a depression like I have never known. It was so BIZZARE that Tool was there last year as that was his faveorite band and for them to ever be at MY beloved 'roo (that I usually had to drag him to) would be there...and this year. I fought with whether to go at all (I just can't miss em) and then almost didn't go to see tool. I went and cried from beginning to end (with the help of some Fun-guys)...but i needed the emotional release. This month my cousin who was more like my brother passed on in a single car accident. This was going to be his first roo...he was 24...and he was so excited. I Just need Bonnaroo to help me forget (or at least "cope") with the tragedies we ALL deal with everyday. Life is too short....you never know people even when you think you do....live life like tomorrow isn't promised! Cause it isn't!

Music is the reason we all can make it through the day! Make it live and with 90,000 of my closest bonna-buddies and it is the difference between breathing in the city and BREATHING the fresh mountin air! It's all good but the latter is better for sure!

southgajd, 9,990 is not as good as 10,000 but it's still really good. That's like someone saying, "here let me give you $10,000!! Nah just kidding, you get $9,990!" You know i'm still taking the money! haha
I'm really hoping this year's Roo surprises everyone and it 10,090 times better than the real world, line-up and all.

last year i needed roo for so so many reasons. i was having severe health problems (internal bleeding is a bitch!) i was very depressed, almost suicidal. i found out my husband was doing very heavy, very dangerous drugs, and cheating on me. i met up with some friends at bonnaroo, and from the moment i arrived in tennessee, i was relaxed, at peace, and loving life again. i felt one with everyone around me like never before. it was the beginning to discovering myself again. i have since gotten the health problems under control, have become my true, optimistic self again, and separated from the ex that was bringing me down. i can't think of any place i'd rather be than at bonnaroo...it is my one vacation, my one indulgence each year, and i wouldn't trade it for anything.
i know my story pales in comparison to yours mantaray, but i want you to remember this:
we are always with you.
if you need a friend, just reach out to one of your bonnaroo-buddies. any one of us would love to cheer you up and help make you whole again. much love and karma to you mantaray.

I'm really hoping this year's Roo surprises everyone and it 10,090 times better than the real world, line-up and all.
That's what I'm really expecting. I was surprised, to say the least to see this year's headliners, but the headliners have very little to do with the total experience, for me atleast. Actually, the one headliner I'm excited to see, Pearl Jam will probably the highlight of this year for me. But everyone has their favorites and bands they may dislike. Their just seems to be more negativity, not just here, but from fans everywhere this year. I have no doubt that those who do show up this year will have atleast as good a time as ever when it's all said and done. Until someone comes up with something better, there is still nothing like Bonnaroo.
and im on inforoo right now, trying to get my mind off of things. And to get in a happy place before i try to go to bed.
You're my hunny bun, sugar plum, pumpy upmy upmy upmkin. You're my sweetie pie.
You're my cuppy cake,gumdrop,shyummkums pure, The apple of my eye....
hope that made ya smile...it's what i always think of when i see a post from you. Heres hoping the coming days go smoothly and ya get home to the roo safely! Karma
yeah cakey. I'm saddened to learn about your loss. I would be destroyed if my grandparents passed away. I hope you feel better soon, and that you are very strong in the upcoming days.
I need to escape from phone calls, emails, and the thoughts that constantly sit at the back of my brain. Bonnaroo is my "excuse" to cut myself off from life for a few days. It's my opportunity to wrap myself in music like a warm, fuzzy blanket. To just...be.
That said, if anyone here needs a shoulder to lean or cry on, there is room in my fuzzy blanket for all of you.
