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!!
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.
I wouldn't want asphalt anywhere. Not only does the road get hot, the surrounding area gets hotter too. If they pave anything they should use the recycled stuff they get from tires. That way they could have COLORS and it would be slightly sproingy.

a bigger fountain area with more water parkish things... lazy river would be bomb
A lazy river would never work... As disgusting as the fountain water gets by the end of the festival I could never imagine floating in water like that... The lazy river would be absolutely disgusting!

Dear lord it would be vile. Great on Thursday though!
& definitely more shade, i especially like the shade at the centeroo entrance idea
Excellent idea. I have been in some state parks that have outdoor showers that work amazingly even though they are just cold water they still do the trick. I would hope these showers would have concrete around them though because the mud around the water now over the couple of days of use makes for getting cleaned up somewhat pointless.
Personally, I'd just like to see them maybe water the grounds a little while beforehand this year. That way maybe it won't be so dusty. Or even just water them down at 4:00 in the morning everyday. Anything to keep the dust down. (Maybe even a giant ionic breeze or whatever they're called)

It would look like the Oompa Loompa chocolate river in no time!

Or just random sprinkler heads popping out of the ground and going off for five minutes at a time thoughout the weekend. Of course with my luck I'll be napping on top of one!!!

I race alot of motocross and we keep our tracks watered down with big water trucks on dusty days. It helps keep the dust down really well and the trucks can spray the water out just about any which way they want. They are also easy to fill up all they need is a water source, and the well water would provide plenty of water for a truck!

Now that I think of it I do remember the water trucks last year. They really did not come around much though. When they did come around they did not distribute the water well so the road just got muddy and smelly. When you water down areas like that the smell can be horrible!
A temporary disc golf course would turn Bonnaroo into my own version of a utopia.
My idea is to make the entire place camping only, in that there is a giant organized parking area, and everyone walks to thier sites from there. A key component to this strategy would be the construction of the previously mentioned rubber roads (great idea), and allowing bikes. This would eliminate a lot of problems, and with 20,000 cars out of the way, would ultimately save a lot of people extra walking time back and forth from Centeroo.

I bet we will start seeing a lot more luxuries at roo starting with '08. I mean they did buy the farm last year and from what I understand AC Entertainment plans to use the land for other festivals such as a country music and goth festival (that sounds like it could go horribly wrong). but don't quote me on the festival part, I don't have a news article to back it up, but I read it in the knox news sentinel a while back.
but I am confident that we will start seeing things like paved roads, permanent stages, and permanent electrical sources. which is awesome, but at the same time, it kinda demolishes the effect that hippies strive for.... but honestly so does the at&t blue room, arcade, and hair salon.

Not fun for this guy. Granted, I'm basing it on my experience at Woodstock 99 where everybody did just that but for me it was a frickin' nightmare. Besides carrying stuff in the burning sun, there was the added confusion of trying to actually find a place to set up camp at the same time as 80,000 other people. It wasn't as bad at the first moe.down but that was a much, much smaller ordeal and the weather was much more cooperative.
Nah, I'm happy to go in Wednesday night and commute in from BFE each day. (Then again, I don't do much back and forth betwixt Centeroo and the tent -- once I've set out for the day I'm not coming home until after the late night sets are over...)
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I highly doubt Roo is getting any type of perm plumbing in the near future. For 90,000 people they'd have to build a 9,000,000 gal/day wastewater treatment plant. That's major moolah.

My 2 cents on the flush toilets - Camp Bisco last year had like 20ish flush toilets plus a bunch of port-a-potties and only around 6,000 attendees (I think) and the toilets broke and/or overflowed every day. Bad scene. So on a scale 10-20 times that size, I just can't see it happening.
