Hello! I've been lurking (with minimal posts the past month or so) since Feb or so. I went to Roo this last year and it was an amazing experience.
Name: Summer! What my user name represents/means: nickname a buddy gave me; it stuck From: College Station, TX then moved to surrounding areas of Knoxville, TN and now in an outskirt of Boston, MA Favorite Bands: Oh boy. This is a hard one. I'd say some are The Format, Ben Folds, Blink-182, Grouplove, Sufjan, George Barnett... etc My All-Time Favorite Artist: Maybe The Format. Sad to see them go. Favorite Books: I'm still in the "young adult" book phase.. so stfu. I love John Green (pre-fault in our stars), loved The Book of Fred, It's Kind of a Funny Story, etc Favorite Movies: Zoolander, Humbodlt County, Indiana Jones, Up!, Hugo, etc Favorite TV shows: SOUTH PARK!, Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother, Mythbusters First Concert Attended: First sitting concert was Weird Al Yankovich, first standing The Rolling Stones. First ticket I bought myself was Never Shout Never (shut up, I was 14) Last Concert Attended: Why is everything I do embarrassing? Okay, I saw a guilty pleasure of mine last - Owl City at the Paradise Rock Club 9.13.12 Bonnaroos Attended: 2012 Bonnaroo Wishlist: For the love of God a Camelbak. I had some major problems without one this year.

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.

Lastly I'll say I'm going to win the Inforoo Pickem after only losing 1 game last week, which was my 1 point confidence game! Team name Quacktastic. Now I'll probably lose, but half the fun is talking ish.
I'll be doing Bonnaroo again this year, a bit bitter sweet because I was hoping for a Glasto trip but failed to get a ticket. Oh well, Roo it is!

I started lurking on Inforoo in Dec '11 when I knew 100% I was going to Bonnaroo. I had never heard of Bonnaroo, music festivals, anything of that nature. I Googled the quack out of Bonnaroo EVERYTHING (I dislike being ill-prepared) and found Inforoo! I'm not sure why it took me so long to become a memeber... Maybe I just hate commitment that much

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Hello lovely inforoosters! I've been on the board since deciding to go to Roo 2012 early last year...since then I've been checking the board nearly every day for any small morsel of Roo-related info, so I figured it was about high time that I introduce myself, and perhaps post a bit more!
Name: Justin What my user name represents/means: combo of my first, middle, and last names From: New Jersey Favorite Bands: The Avett Brothers, The Beatles, Eminem before he started rapping in silly voices, Regina Spektor, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Say Anything, Kendrick Lamar Favorite Books: "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green recently won my heart. And Harry Potter, for what hopefully are obvious reasons. Favorite Movies: American Beauty, Little Miss Sunshine, Superbad Favorite TV shows: The Office First Concert Attended: A free Lupe Fiasco concert in Philly when I was 18 (I'm 24 now) Last Concert Attended: Passion Pit last month Bonnaroos Attended: 2012, and hopefully a bunch more! Bonnaroo Wishlist: Like most people, I think Daft Punk would be a great get, as far as headliners go. I'd really like to see Regina Spektor and Circa Survive at Roo, as well as Sage Francis and Jack White.
I'm finding my favorite part of these boards and Roo in general is the opportunity to find new music. I love it!
