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!!
I loved it when I had it. I just ended up cancelling it because I didn't use it enough due to work/distance from the venues. But if you live close to the venues in your town, you should definitely sign up for it.
You're not going to get into tons of big shows, but it's a fantastic way to check out club sized and up and coming bands without breaking the bank.
Keep in mind that it's been 6+ months since I've used it, I'm assuming it's still the same. There aren't always tons of passes available for each show, but just set an alarm on your phone to go off at 11 am every day (or whatever time they release them, it was either 10 or 11).
Our hotel in Seoul had one of those high-tech toilets. It had 3 bidet wash options, heated water, dryer, and heated seats. We've been at our hotel in Taipei for about 3 hours now and I'm already missing the bidet.

I'm officially team bidet.
You can buy one and hook it up to your toilet. I have had one for over 10 years now. I don't know what I would do without it. This is the one that I currently have, and it is better than the one I had for like 7 years (which I loved) and didn't make the move. When I requested the original back from my ex, he told me it broke... Yeah whatever. But I found that one and it's perfect.

It's super weird working on a college campus between Christmas and NYE. I saw literally ONE other person on my long walk from the parking structure to my building. ONE.

Hey Chicago people, I will be in that city in March for the Chicago half marathon. My crazy boyfriend and our friends are running so it's looking like I will be the lone cheerleader.
Come drink booze early in the morning and cheer on crazy people that like to run 13.1 miles with me.
2013-15: Well I can't go. Let's have a party and watch the webcast.
2016: If I'm home I'll watch it.
2017: Meh.
How the times have changed.
Samesies.
2006-14: I *have to* go to Bonnaroo
2015: Well I can't go. Let's clear the weekend and watch the webcast.
2016-17: Meh, if I'm home I'll watch some of it.
The only thing I really miss is seeing so many of my friends in one place, but it's just not worth the expense/vacation days/hassle for us anymore. I sincerely doubt we'll ever return.

That's a really strong and sad statement from a moderator I love.
People tell me to be optimistic, or rely on support systems for my mental and physical disabilities and challenges -- but I'll be honest: other than seeing the successes and happiness of the couples associated with inforoo; I find no hope left. The support systems of inforoo chat has been shut down by the password system and the general exclusionism; people (for good reason) are too disenfranchised with bonnaroo to return, I repeatedly am told that even though I'm poor the solution is to move or travel, and I feel like the people who will suffer most through the next political cycle are heard; but also unheard. There is a regurgitation of sadness/upset feelings in accordance to Trump's election and the general sense of division in this country; but I see very few people willing to conflict with their own family members - to challenge authority. Because in many ways they are still within the protected classes, or are in fear of the wrath of said protected class (esp. women without monetary power, which is a missing element to balancing this nations power structure in the course of gender). Many of us feel crazy constantly by the truths they see but are denied. And I don't see much moving or changing, even amongst the people I call my family

At this point, Brunch is the only thing I'd really miss out of Roo. I don't feel the need to go back any time soon, especially with the poor lineups.

I love you Deto, I didn't mean to make you sad! Meeting you and the rest of my inforoo family was the best thing to come from my many years attending Bonnaroo.
Due to life events I just don't see how it would be possible for us to attend in the future.

The small bit I can help with: should I take the password off the chat room? I can do that tonight when I get home. I recall putting it in place to avoid random (literal) wankers, but if that's no longer worth the cost I can easily nix it.

So what do you propose for us?
I don't have a great answer to this, I do want to know if you were being more specific about the question too.
But on the notes of bonnaroo - I can't say shit - the LN buyout was something I too was worried about and it's panned out exactly as I thought it would. They have a terrible streak of running festivals - and I can't tell anyone to spend money. For me? That's just me being selfish and sad - I have no answer for that. As a white man - you already question authority more than most people - but I feel the stark difference in reality as a city kid who has traveled. I feel uniquely capable of addressing the many realities within this country because there aren't so many city kids here for obvious reasons. I don't know how to tell a black person from the NYC/NJ and some other areas that their vote even matters, or that it ever did. Also don't have an answer because while the chess pieces are being moved on the board; who knows who in Trump's staff will just knock them all over... including him. Just stating how I feel.

I think that originally came from tinychat changing algorithms to get more people to go to more rooms. I don't know if the damage is just kinda done at this point; and will also acknowledge the weak lineups half assisted in the slow down of inforoo traffic. The rest might just me being lonely and complaining and I will acknowledge that people have much more interesting things to do. I guess I'm just noting things change - and that the advice I've received doesn't always coalesce with the way things are. Also the death of turntable didn't help.

I'm hoping things will pick up once the lineup hype is at full steam, and hopefully people will be excited about the lineup enough to want to talk about it.
I'll try removing the password tonight and bumping the thread. See what happens!

Also don't want to be uneven: my partner also doesn't really want to go unless the lineup is amazing somehow. The same cost and time issues - but I guess it's harder when it's coming from all sides.

I totally understand. I wish it was an easier fest ($ and time wise) to attend.

Also, Starbucks is closed
So like everything is closed this week, and I didn't bring food with me. A graduate student is doing their thesis proposal in our (locked) building today, and they brought bagels which she offered to share.
Mana from heaven! I've never been so excited about a bagel before in my life. It's a good one, too! Toasty cheese on top.

Can you hear the sound of the crawling flesh? Now can you smell the burning desire? This place is too small to hide All the ghosts that's kicking around inside
I still think about this one night when I played GZA's "Shadowboxin" and everyone in the inforoo turntable room got all hype.
Do you remember the first song you played on turntable? Mine was ATCQ "Check the Rhime". It was a very stressful decision.
I don't remember, but I know someone skipped it immediately. Actually I think it was New Order, probably "Confusion" if I know me. I was mad when it got skipped. How can anyone turn off that song?
