Hopefully next year they got there shit together .....

What my user name represents/means: My friend wanted to play his on his xbox live account in my old dorm at university, so we had to call the campus IT to help set it up. He asked for our username (like the username for our email, student ID, etc.), but we thought he meant the gamertag. His gamertag was StinkyFingers88, and the IT guy completely lost it and told us what he meant. Embarrassing, but hilarious still.

Ahhh, coincidentally I discovered a name for that same drink IN Gainesville, Florida as well!! We call em suicide bombs cause it's darn near suicide to do them, especially when you're gonna do multiple. And let's be honest, if there's a night where you are drinking one of those, the odds are, you will be doing many more of them. You get my thumbs up! Welcome to inforoo!!!

(I could also just keep listing movies.. there's so many)

Name: Kevin What my user name represents/means: A short description of 2 things sitting on my desk when I created my profile. Not creativity at it's best, but possibly most drunk. From: Texas
Favorite Bands: Really depends on my mood. Anything from The Rolling Stones, The Stooges, Pink Floyd to Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, or Radiohead. My list of favorite bands can sometimes be narrowed down to a top 25, but really that's always alternating out of a list three or four times that. One day I may be jamming out to Motorhead, the next I might be getting into Gnarles Barkley. For the last few days I've had a Butthole Surfers mixed Cd repeating itself over and over again in my car. My favorite band of the week.
Favorite Movies: Todd Browning's Freaks, There's Something About Mary, Tarantino (general), Vertigo, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Shaun of the Dead, 7 Psychopaths, John Dies at the End. I'm a pretty big Horror buff who can name actors in forgotten sequels to 80's slasher flicks.
Favorite Books: Favorite Authors: Kurt Vonnegut Jr, Charles Bukowski, Ken Kesey, Irvine Welsh, Bret Easton Ellis, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Hunter S. Thompson, Stephen King was my childhood hero.
Favorite TV shows: The Simpsons, The Twilight Zone, South Park, The Walking Dead, True Detective First Concert Attended: Hahaha! Poison/ Cinderella- Hollyweird tour. I was 14 or 15, and me and my best friend stumbled across free tickets, we thought we'd struck gold.
Last Concert Attended: Roo '14
Next Concert Attended: Nine Inch Nails/ Soundgarden, then the next month Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Bonnaroos Attended: This year was my first year. I've been trying to make it every year since High School. Nine years later I finally got to make it, and now that I've been I'll be back for many more.
Bonnaroo Wishlist: I think The Rolling Stones would make the ultimate closer. I'd love to see Tom Waits, Outkast, Kris Kristofferson. I think Dave Ghrohl could helm a really awesome superjam. Alice In Chains would be pretty awesome somewhere (they're a couple men down, but Jerry Cantrell can still own and direct a stage like no other, and they still sell Uuber tickets). I could see Iggy Pop (Stooges or no) or The Mountain Goats doing an awesome late night set. For me a part of the fun of Bonnaroo was catching artists I'd probably never see- and getting the chance to be awed- case in point Lionel Richie... So really my wishlist is just for another Roo.

Alice Cooper's going to blow your mind. Saw him for the first time last year. He sounded amazing, and his stage show lived up to the hype.
