I stopped by on Thursday and you were not there yet Changedman. I told them about Inforoo and they looke dlost until one guy finally spoke up and said you were not there yet. I liked the setup but I hardly ever walked by it much mate.

I went there one hot as hell morning. It was a good escape before the bands start since we didn't have a canopy. I noticed at night yall were empty and playing the Beastie Boys and ringing a cowbell and I wondered if you were covering expenses. At that point nobody wants to sit on stools and drink they want to get back to camp and lay back and sleep and maybe drink there. My advice is open as early as possible and get real chairs (even tons of chairs and no tables since I don't think you had food anyway) . I know people will never leave but I would pay five bucks an hour just to sit in comfort if you had those big fans like the State Farm people had.
As someone who camped near it I can say that the all night last call shouting made me less than inclined to go spend my money there.
I was camped in VIP and was woken up many times by them shouting over the speakers. It pissed a lot of us off, so we would not go there for sure. We know you are there, do you really need to be shouting over a speaker about it all night?
Chalk me up as another person turned off by the shouting and bullhorns. In fact, many times I heard people mumbling "please, shut the fu*k up" as we walked past...including myself. Hopefully, the charity made out alright, though!

I stopped by and had a few beers there. I liked that they were cheaper than in centreroo and the lady who served was very nice. We were camped close by and the music was a bit too loud earlier on in the fest.
I didn't notice any carnival barking but don't do it. Its a huge huge turnoff. If I had noticed it I wouldn't have gone in.
On sunday I walked past and got a bunch of "show us your boobs!" "do it, nobody will care!" kind of cat calls and pretended I was too busy with my camera to hear them. Sigh.
I guess another big turn off - other than what everyone else has said - is that at that particular point, you're not in Centeroo! I could sit in the shade near there with some cold beers from camp. Quite as relaxing? No. Does it make more sense for me? Yes. Haha. Plus, if I'm buying Centeroo beers, I lean towards the Brooer's tent and their better value offerings.

Yea, not being in centeroo made me less inclined to check it out. I thought about hanging there during the day but didn't really want to. Seemed like a cool idea.....but I have so many other things to do. Plus, the sports bar inside centeroo was air conditioned, had games, and high def TV's playing the webcasts.

The sports bar wouldn't let you sit anywhere but the already full stools. Plus, the beers were two dollars more.
I never understood the attraction...stop in and get a festival-priced beer? But I'm, like, ten minutes from my campsite!
Edit: let me elaborate on this. When I'm on the way INTO Centeroo, I have three or four cold beers in my pockets waiting to be chugged, so I don't really need to stop and get one. Then when I'm on the way OUT of Centeroo, I'm blazing straight to my campsite. I have a little room in between, but it's mainly for checking out the schwag vendors and grilled cheeses, and playing with the crowd.
Edit edit: you want to make a fortune at Bonnaroo? Rent refrigerated lockers right outside the arch -- little lockable personal fridges the size of a case of beer.

It was a decent idea but nobody and I mean NOBODY liked the yelling at night. The service was good and I felt like you guys should include reasonably priced food if you do it again. Food will get people there.
