So Jason Isbell posted an email from a talent producer for The Voice saying they ran across him online and wanted to know if he would be interested in auditioning. He joked his audition would be a solo vocal performance accompanied by French horn of "Oh Comely" by Neutral Milk Hotel while wearing a bikini.
That's so insane. Did the talent producer not do a small amount of research on him? Like....I know he's not really well-known but he's got a career and following in the music industry.
Need to get West Virginia on that map ASAP! Though you missed the best time to come through the state (Fall, with the leaf colorations). Check out Snowshoe resort if winter sports are your thing!
Does anyone have any experience or know of anyone with experience bringing a drone to Bonnaroo? I saw a couple last year flying around and I was curious if that was someone in the press whos office supplies one or if it was personal? Would the staff allow one in centeroo? I am considering the purchase of a DJI Phantom and would definitely bring to Bonnaroo if they are permissible.

willsfc should be able to answer your questions. He took one this year.
I lack 13. Most of the Northeast,some midwest, some southwest
Mine are mostly deep South and far NE plus Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, and Nebraska
So I am driving up to Hawaii Friday and would enjoy a lovely young woman like you to accompany me. No sex would be required, but perhaps a little sexuality. Nothing illegal at all, I don't feel like going to prison. However, if you are comfortable with nudity (I'll keep the heater cranked), need a ride, and don't want to spring for the bolt bus, I am a good alternative.

I dont think it'd be a good idea to fly it around in centeroo, I highly doubt security would let you in with it. I flew mine over day parking/the campgrounds to get some pictures (i asked the horseback cops and they didn't care). I'm sure with how popular they are getting, they will address it in the rules soon.
Here is a shot I got on Thursday, Bonnaroo actually retweeted it.

I'd be shocked if they weren't explicitly banned next year. I know I read specifically "No drones" in the rules for FFF this year. They're on their radar at this point.
who are these "extreme cheapskates" who use one tub of water for all four people in the family to bathe in? ewwww. our water bill is like $50 a month for four people... well worth actually getting clean, IMO. I really have to think some, or a lot, of the stuff on these shows is fake.

I really hope it's fake. I saw that episode and think they have way more problems than they showed. Some seriously weird stuff going on there.

no kidding. it got weirder- newspaper TP that gets burned, all of them sleeping in one bed to conserve heating and cooling costs... then there's the lady who served her friends food she scavenged from a trash can. that can't be real. I think I just need to go to sleep.

I understand that in America this isn't a necessity, so it's kind of off-putting. But this is just how life goes in numerous other countries. Families sleeping together, no heat/ac, etc. I mean dumpster-diving is even pretty damn popular in the US, even among people who have no 'real need' to search through the trash for food.
that said.. the water thing is weird. Even the people I know here without running water don't re-use the water they use to wash off with...

well, true. we often end up with a toddler in the bed at our house, and lots of cultures practice cosleeping- but for reasons more to do with family bonding than saving on heating or cooling extra bedrooms. and dumpster diving- I just don't know. I get that Americans throw away all manner of things that are still usable and/or valuable, buuuut I can't imagine digging through all the nastiness of a large dumpster. different strokes I guess.

This. This bothers me. If you can afford to NOT look through the trash for free shit, but you do anyway, then you are taking meals out of the mouth's of those more in need than your self. I'm actually not joking.

I've never done it myself, but I'm not opposed to dumpster diving. When I worked in a restaurant, I was shocked at how much perfectly good food would get tossed at the end of the night. My asshole manager used to tell me to put the food at the bottom of the dumpster so people wouldn't scavenge, and I never did. I'm not wasting perfectly good food just because you can't make a buck on it... manager logic.

Do you have any more pictures from that willsfc , specifically with more views of the groop camping to the left? I think our camp is just out of the shot
willsfc Thanks man. I appreciate the help. Still havent decided if I wanna shell out the cash for a phantom or not yet but I enjoy photography and think I would be able to get some really good shots at Bonnaroo, work, etc. What kind of drone and/or camera setup do you have if you dont mind me asking? You're probably right about flying it around in Centeroo...last thing I'd want is to lose control of the thing and have it come crashing down on some unsuspecting roo'er. Though I did see a couple flying overhead during Elton, Vampire, and Jack White.
Was just informed that Websters Dictionary has updated the definition of the word literally. Apparently now one of it's definitions is the way people say I am litterally going to do this, when they really mean figuratively. Interesting.
Does anyone have interest in a thread being made for discussion on the Serial podcast?? Episode 9 came out today and I like everyone else who has listened, I'm hooked. For those that don't know what I'm talking about there is a NPR podcast spinoff about a 15 year old murder case that had a conviction of an ex-boyfriend that didn't make a lot of sense to outside observers. I don't want to spoil anything so let me just say it is way more interesting than what I just described and very, very well made.
That actually sounds really interesting. I'll never get time to listen to it but I think I would enjoy it.

If I remember correctly (it's been a while), that lady served everyone their meal and then told them after the fact that it came from a dumpster. I would at least like to know that ahead of time, personally. Also, her guests could totally tell something was amiss with their food. She wasn't using things that were particularly edible, and I think if anything she made dumpster diving look much worse by serving these people borderline spoiled food. Some things should stay in the dumpster
For a more positive view of this type of living, there's a great documentary by Agnes Varga about people using/eating discarded items called "The Gleaners and I". I'd recommend it for anyone.
