Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.

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.

I have been lurkin for some time now, figured it was time to join the party...
Name: Pemberton Roos: 2011, 2014 Music taste: Bluegrass, Jam, Blues and Rock n Roll and some rap First Band I remember seeing live: Bonnie Raitt Last live show I attended: Carolina Chocolate Drops TV Shows: Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead Movies: Star Wars, Ghostbusters Act most excited to see at Roo this year: Jack White (my first time seeing him)
Another lurker here. I have learned a lot from reading Inforoo!
Name: Antares 2014 will be my First ROO! Music likes: Rock and roll, Bluegrass, Blues, I'll listen to just about anything (not so much rap, though - Sorry Kanye & crew!) Don't really remember which band I saw live first - maybe Van Halen or Hall & Oates? (many, many moons ago! I was but a wee child!) Last live show attended: Bela Fleck, and before that it was The Wall with David Gilmore. Favorite TV shows: Cosmos (of course), Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, Agents of Shield, The Soup, Psych Favorite Books: anything in the Clive Cussler - Dirk Pitt series, Wicked series, Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah Favorite Movies: The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, lots of comedies. Acts I want to see at the farm: Elton John, Chromeo, Jack White, Janelle Monae, Carolina Chocolate Drops, there are too many acts to name - I want to see all of them!!! I seem to find a new favorite every time I look at the lineup!!!
I love most kinds of music and enjoy seeing what new artists are doing. I like to camp and enjoy nature. Stargazing is favorite pastime of mine, hence the name Antares, the Heart of Scorpio.
I am getting very excited about my first trip to The Farm and looking forward to hearing a lot of great music and meeting all of my new friends at Roo!!
Name: Kendalyn What my user name represents/means: It's just my name From: Kalamazoo, MI Favorite Bands: The Decemberists, Alt J, TwentyOne Pilots, The New Pornographers, Chris Bathgate, Matt Jones and the Reconstruction, River Whyless, Wishbone Ash Favorite Movies: There are a lot of movies I like but probably none worth just picking out and mentioning Favorite Books/AUTHORS: I read a lot of memoirs and non-fiction. Jon Krakauer is a favorite author of mine and maybe Malcolm Gladwell. Favorite TV Shows: The Walking Dead First Concert Attended: Jethro Tull Last Concert Attended: It was a show at The Social in Orlando but I can't remember the name of who was there. Before that was The Moody Blues. Bonnaroos Attended: 2013 and will attend 2014 Bonnaroo Wishlist: I love this year's lineup but I was hoping Bastille would be there. I'd like to see Alt-J again too.
I grew up in the northern panhandle of WV too (Follansbee) it is definitely Steelers country all through there. Unfortunately, I come from a family of Browns fans (they all reside in the Youngstown/Ravenna area).
Alright, this finally convinced me to post in this thread. I've been posting more lately but mainly lurked on Inforoo for a few years now, and I just kinda jumped in and out and never introduced myself.
My name's Sean, my handle is Déjà vu spelled backwards, which I've used sporadically for many years. I'm from the Cleveland area settled in Ravenna a few years ago, went to Kent State, and know the Akron area fairly well. Some of my Roo crew are from the Youngstown area, some living in Columbus now. Browns fan (sorry), and it still amazes me how many Steelers fans there are around here. I grew up 30 minutes away from here in indisputable Browns country and never imagined that enemy territory was so near. Hmm, what else... I really dig my homies The Black Keys, The Beatles, NIN, The Flaming Lips, ytcracker, lotsa rock and hip hop, Cleveland sports, beer, good food, good beer, Android and Linux, lol. Currently listening to Schoolboy Q and watching Family Guy and shows about gold mining all too frequently.
If I make it this year (got vacation time but not extra money) it will be my fifth Roo, all in a row since 2010. Went solo last year, met some cool people and had some bitchy neighbors, and had a different but enjoyable experience. This year we're puttin' the band (er, group) back together, and we're on a mission from God. I'm also determined to finally make it to brunch.
EDIT: Pardon my deviation from the standard format. Oops, my bad, not gonna edit it all now.

Duuuude... this whole time, I was so sure your name was Jed and you went to UVa. I'm no good with this English thing.
Yeah, I've gotten that before, which is partly why I usually go by other nicks now. I suppose I could switch to KSUSean, but then people will think I went to Kansas State, lol

Yes. That would be incredible. Was lucky enough to see them a few years ago in Orlando, FL. It was one of my all-time favorite shows, and I wasn't even a fan of theirs until seeing them.
Too bad they're broken up and the chances of this are miniscule.
