Hey! First 'Roo and First post as well! I'm so stoked! Since I've been able to travel and see shows and festivals, I've been out doing the West Coast thing... I'm sure Bonnaroo is going to rock.
Name: Simone
What my user name represents/means: I feel a bit like Alice, I assume... Dazed and Confused
From: Dunlap, TN
Favorite Bands: NIN, Tool, Bright Eyes, Sublime, geez... Way too many to name.
My All-Time Favorite Artist: Trent Reznor
Favorite Movies: Umm, The Gladiator, Apocalypse Now, Dawn of the Dead (Romero)... cheesy horror flicks <3
Favorite TV shows: Nip/Tuck and Ghost Hunters is all I watch.
First Concert Attended: Been to Riverbend a BUNCH, but the first concert I went to was NIN in ATL!
Last Concert Attended: Robert Plant and Allison Krause
Bonnaroos Attended: I'm a virgin! This is my first one, because I've been living on the west coast for years!
Bonnaroo Wishlist: I missed all the good years! Tool, NIN, The Nightwatchman, Sharon Little... waaaay too many to name.
Through some awesome karma as we arrived in the VIP line, we got to meet some of the folks and stay at the InfoRoo Tiki Bar and Camp (notice that bar comes before camp
).
We were 'roo virgins taken under the wings and lost that virginity - and loved every freakin' second of it.
I'm wiped out but damn excited. Already thinking about how to get next year's event on my schedule.
So, here's my list with a few categories added.
Favorite Bands: Pink Floyd, David Gilmour (himself), David Bowie, Tool, Sarah McLachlan, Within Temptation, Bob Marley, Better Than Ezra, Charlie, Dave Matthews, Joe Walsh, Kate Bush, Live, A Perfect Circle, Police, Chili Peppers, Santana and a buttload of others. My All-Time Favorite Artist: David Gilmour Favorite Books: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Favorite Movies: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein (and other Mel Brooks' work), The Matrix, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Airplane, Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers, Blade Runner Favorite TV shows: Discovery Channel shows (Mythbusters, science shows, etc.), Food Network shows, Sports (College Football (take a guess which team ;D ), college basketball, Soccer), Comedies First Concert Attended: Edgar Winter Group in Knoxville, TN in 1972 Last Concert Attended: Bonnaroo 2008 - left today Average # of concerts see a year: 25-30 Favorite adult beverage: Microbrew or imported beer (Ales, Pale Ales, Lagers and some stouts), Tequila (Patron and other quality killya's), JD
It's almost overwhelming at Bonnaroo, the options one has to see and listen to music. And the people were unbelievable. And not just the InfoRoo folks - and believe me, they were incredible themselves. Kids talking to everyone, regardless of age, people just enjoying those 7 notes that make so many of us happy.
