Well hello there everybody. It's been a few years since I signed up on this thread. I've tried to get to Bonnaroo for the last several years but something has always come up. Not this year though as I have officially bought tickets now! This will be my first year at roo and since New Years this has been my highest priority of anything to accomplish this year! I am a huge live music lover and have been to hundreds of shows over the past 30 years. But with Bonnaroo so close,(I'm from Kingsport Tn), It is hard for me to justify not making it to the farm sooner. But all thats in the past. Bonnaroo 2011 here I come!
P.S. Wheres that old Beer thread? I'm trying to find out what the limit is that we can bring into the camp sights.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Hey everyone! Chef here! I'm surprised that name hasn't been taken. Been to roo twice. '09 & '10. I am known as a metal head and loved the nine inch nails set, and the GWAR set. That being said, bonnaroo has blown the doors down of any Ozzfest I've been too.
I love the vibe here. My wife and I decided on a whim to go to Roo '09 and had to go again in '10. My exact words upon pulling in were "hon its been a year but we are finally home".
I love bonnaroo and love the people that go. Each year we take atleast 3 new people. This year we will have about 15 in our group. Some, vets, about 4 virgins. I'd like to meet some people from inforoo, because honestly you guys have helped me more than you know. I'd love to cook for some people too. I keep my work and home seperate so you won't really see what I look like until we meet, but trust me, I am a chef and I would love to cook some brunch for the inforoosters.
Finally, I really like the diversity here. As a mostly metal head, I do poke fun at the wookies, but only the ones that seem way out there, and full of trust fund dollars. Happy peaceful hippy people are A-ok in my book. I hope to see everyone at roo. I really have had my best adult moments there. -Chef
