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!!
Also the plane idea is a good one, but unless it's a real cheap ticket then that won't work, cause im saving all my money cause im going to amsterdam and paris this march - and i am b-r-o-k-e
Well for one way from Pitt would be around $100. Not too bad if it's the only way for you to go.
I don't remember much about my graduation except that it was early and hot. We had Peter Scalari as our speaker... y'know, the OTHER one from Bosom Buddies.

the barney song wasn't my class song, thank god. i don't remember why he made us sing it, on stage, in front of everyone. it was horrible. at least i didn't know the words so i just stood there.
anyway, my class song was pink floyd's wish you were here. fortunately, there were a ton of floyd freaks in my class. one of the other choices was the theme song from friends.

Hahaha, our class song was "Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)"...stupid, stupid cheesy song. Although I did joke that it was like my class to have Good Riddance in the title of our class song.
Graduation was no big deal....I just sat there and mostly thought, "Thank GOD I don't have to see some of these people ever again!"
I just sat there and mostly thought, "Thank GOD I don't have to see some of these people ever again!"
OMG - that is sooo what I was thinking - and - guess what?- I have NEVER seen anyone I graduated with since I graduated. I moved - went to college - moved again - no reunions - this past year was the first one I knew about - I talk to one guy via email and telephone about 2-3 times a year - have two others on my myspace - that is it -no desire to ever see or talk to anyone else from high school

im the same... i barely even have friends from college - just a few. none from high school, although there are a few people that i would like to be in touch with. maybe one friend from grade school (crazy huh), but he is off in la la land... i dont know what i'd call him now.
one girl wrote me from jr high after she found me on classmates...i never wrote her back. oh well.
^haha... there was this one particular girl I hated in high school. Her daddy was rich, she was gorgeous, and she was a b*tch. A GIANT B*TCH. I sat there and thought to myself that I was so happy I'd never see that one particular girl ever again...
I'll be damned if I didn't see her at a college party 6 months later. We ended up at the same college for 4 more years. She never stopped being a b*tch but her skin went bad and she got fat... HA!

Hahaha, ain't life sweet sometimes aly?
Anyway, the only people from my high school that I WANT to talk to are the ones I still talk to now...I will probably go back to my reunions though, just to see who's fat/pregnant/on drugs. Too bad that's already happening....I can go through my senior yearbook (I'm almost 22) and I can pick out half the girls and go "married...had a baby...married...had a baby" etc etc. Depressing!! I graduated from a small country high school though, so no surprise there.

I graduated from a small country school also - I started school there the middle of my Junior Year and was always treated like an outcast/outsider - that is the main reason I have no desire to talk to or see any of them - all the emails I received about the reunion last summer just reminded me of that - besides - they scheduled the rreunion for the same weekend as Bonnaroo - oh hell no
Bonnaroo v. 20 year Reunion of people I did not like 20 years ago????
I went to my girlfriends reunion in NJ a few years ago - the 10 year one for high school. it was really strange. a lot of posturing to see who is doing well. the same click's were still in effect. it was kind of sad.
if anything, it made me happy that i didn't bother going to my 10th. i think the allure of going to a hs reunion, when almost everyone now goes to college, is different than it was 30 years ago. my parents were shocked i wasnt interested in going to my own reunion, and to me, the idea of actually attending was never seriously considered at all.
by the way aly, your emphatic "A GIANT BITCH" made me laugh

At my school the seniors finish school about two week before everyone else.. ( we grauduate on everyone else's last day of school ) So we have to wait till all the kids get home, and then wait for all the parents to make it to our school. confusing.
So the ceremony usually starts 6:30 - 7ish
prey for lots of snow days to mess grad schedule up....

same for me.... i graduated in 2003
That was our (unofficial) song too, didn't really have a real one... graduated in 98, think that song came out that school year. I remember people singing it really sarcastically at our senior breakfast lol, good times
Call me crazy, but I think it'd be a pretty bad call to just skip your graduation. I don't think it shows much class when they call your name and no one walks up to get the diploma. Bonnaroo may be important, but so is your high school graduation... not to mention I'm sure your folks would be disappointed. It may be a dreadfully boring ceremony, but you're obligated to be there and should really do that for your family.

at ours if you didn't show up they didn't call your name. and my class was huge. so if someone didn't show up, we didn't notice. i didn't even know everyone i graduated with. but you're right, its def. for the family. if your family is cool with you skipping it, then go ahead.
and i dont think my class had a class song. it was more like we had a prom song, and that was considered our class song? we wanted our song to be Time of Your Life (Good Riddance) but like the previous 3 years was that. [hahah we're a creative school, obviously] so we settled for edwin mccain's i could not ask for more. god, i don't miss high school.
You might be lucky and have the graduation ceremony early in the day. I know I had mine at around 1pm and then I left after that too go to a beach house with some friends for 4 days!
Just tell your parents you really want to goto bonnaroo, and if they want you to walk then you will for sure, but after that you want to head on down to Manchester, TN.
In fact, the second you can just hit the road and arrive around the AMs on Friday morning and pull in and party!
I also have a conflict .. There are 5 months and 12 days that need to pass before i can leave for Bonnaroo 08.... Its almost like i feel like im in jail and I'm counting the days to gain my freedom...
