Welcome to all the newbies! I hope everyone that joined Inforoo enjoys it as much as I do!
I've been on here since last May, but I don't remember if I ever formally introduced myself.
My name is Kristen I'm 19 years young and going on 20! My birthday is the 21st of June. My boyfriend, Jacob, and I have been dating for 5 years. His bday is on the 20th of June, so roo is a big bday bash for us! I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. No man's land. Ha I love the fact that I'm only a hop, skip, and a jump away from New Orleans! I'm a college student at a local community college, MGCCC. My boyfriend calls me a mooch, but I'm a cute one. So it's okay. ;D I love life, and love all types of music.. for realz. I'm extremely open minded, and give everything a chance!
And I'm involved in a wonderous love affair.. with Bonnaroo.

I intro'd myself in the lurker thread by why not do it here too, seeing as I dig this format much more than the other.
This will be my third roo, and I'm making the trek out from NYC(currently living in Belgium!). I am heavily considering VIP this year, money isn't a consideration as much as I'm worried about getting a big enough group of my friends to pony up as opposed to "slumming it" in the regular camp area. Did anyone have two residences, so to speak at any past roo? Found out about the board through Adam when he bought a tobacco pipe from me.
as far as politicking (going all the way back to the first page on that one)? I'm sure a bunch of the Ron Paul fanatics that seem to be everywhere on the internet will have some fliers and crap...

My tent was in VIP, but I also spent some time at Camp Inforoo, over in tent only. VIP and tent only are right next to each other, mebbe a 10 minute walk at the furthest.
Ashley (hippieninaustin). I grew up with mini Dachshunds and absolutely love them. We just had to put down our oldest family dog at age 17 which was terrible but also amazing that he lived that long. Our other one broke his back at age 4 and after many surguries we had to put him down at age 5. It was a hard day. Their names were Fritz and Franz.

haha...those are awesome names
mine is Bailey. she's 9 now, but i didn't get her until she was 7. a family was looking for a good home for her, and i was more than willing to take her. she is the SWEETEST thing ever. i have yet to meet one person who doesn't want to take her home with them after they meet her.
she's still in great health, so that's always nice. i carry her up and down the stairs as much as i can, though(i live on a second floor).
^^^thats good about carrying as much as possible because the back problems suck to go through. Franz was on one of those skateboard things for about 4 months.
Hey I just noticed its 4:20 here! Woo Hoo. Sucks to be at work though.
Haven't introduced myself yet, but already made a couple posts.
My name is Annan. I live about a 1/2 hour east of St. Louis in a city called Belleville. Last year was my first roo who I got to experience with my brother (3rd roo) and a friend (2nd roo). I can't wait for this June. I haven't seen most of the lineup live before.
I am 24. I am currently attending a Junior college for web design. I am also interested in getting into photography after I get my 2 year degree. I love to camp, travel, read, listen to music, watch movies, mess around with computers, hang out with people, and more. Some of my favorite bands: Nightwish, Led Zeppelin, DMB, Alice in Chains, Grateful Dead, Beatles, Wilco, Guster, Les/Primus, Tool, Flaming Lips, Simon & Garfunkel, Shins, Modest Mouse, Dropkick Murphys, Children of Bodom, Moody Blues, and a lot more!
Anyways, I am glad I found this place as there is a lot of activity, advice, stories and more which is cool.
