Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
For my 1,000 post, I just want to say how much I love this place and all the people who reside here with me. You definitely make my world so much brighter, and better.
I like the science thread idea. or science/tech. I'm still holding out for my HUD glasses, personally.
also, I really just came in here to say, I love all of you. even those of you I don't know either IRL (which is still most of you) or have had any interaction with on here. when I first came across inforoo I was a bit skeptical about the whole Internet forum situation, but every day something on here makes me smile or laugh, warms my heart, or gives me a new perspective to consider. even the sometimes obnoxious arguing is okay because deep down I think you're all pretty much good people who just love music.
so, thanks for welcoming me into the inforoo community. when my friends think I'm crazy for obsessing over shows and festivals or my grandmother says "I don't know why you go to that boon-a-roo anyway", it's nice to know I can come back to a place where people get it. that's all. carry on
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.

I just want to say thank you all so much for creating and nurturing this community. It was an invaluable resource while preparing. My first 'Roo wouldn't have been such a great success if I hadn't been sent here.
Also, the love you all have for each other is a beautiful thing. This place makes the world seem a little brighter.

I was talking to my husband about the brunch, and everyone I saw at Roo after I got back, and he said "You are so lucky to have that circle of friends that you can count on, and always have their support. I don't have that and I wish I did". It made me feel bad that he does not, but he is so right and am very grateful to have you guys!
It's taken me over five years, but I have finally made 10,000 posts!
I had no idea what Inforoo would mean to me when I joined in February of 2008. At the time I was grateful for the information and advice to help me prepare for my first Bonnaroo. We would have been up $hit creek if I had not read all of the threads touting EZ-ups, tent fans, and a bike lock for our cooler. I attended my first brunch in 2008 and met my first Inforooster, the3penguins, by offering him a ride to the Nashville airport. I have been to ever brunch since, except this year and I will NEVER make the mistake of not attending Bonnaroo again!
Since that first Bonnaroo, I have met some of the most awesome people from Inforoo and several of them have become great friends. Because of Inforoo, I have gotten a job that I enjoy (thanks dreamingtree) and introduced one of my best friends to her now husband Not to mention the numerous festivals, concerts, trips, and pool parties I have attended because Inforoosters. I have also celebrated the accomplishments and life events of so many Inforoosters and mourned the loss of carpedm01 and too many other board members. I have valued each of those events and moments.
So, thank you all for being part of my life. It may sound silly and cliche, but I honestly cannot imagine my life without Inforoosters in it. Here's to many more years and another 10,000 posts!
I posted in the midtown thread earlier, and it got me thinking about how this board is about so much more than just bonnaroo. so I wanted to officially come post in this one to say how much this place and all of you guys mean to me. (I know I said no more sappy posts, but this one is for all of you, so deal with it )
when I first signed up seven months ago, I thought I might come across some new advice for packing/camping, discover whether anyone actually brought kids in VIP, or get a different perspective on some of the artists. I had never participated in any kind of online forum before (a fact that was probably super obvious, since I think I created a thread before I even made any other post), and didn't know what to expect,
I definitely never expected to find a community of awesome people who have become my friends, both IRL (and many more to add to that group next month at MOEMS!) and here. even if we don't directly interact, or we're not social media friends, I really do appreciate you all and the ways each of you contribute to making inforoo such an amazing place. ?to you all!
This past year has been one of the best I've ever had, even though it was set up to be one of the worst, and it's because of you people. I'm not sure I can express how much of a difference you guys have made in my life or how much happiness being apart of this community brings me. I've only met a handful of you in person, and the short time I've spent with you all has been so fantastic that I can't wait to be reunited with you and everyone else whom I haven't officially met yet. I want to thank you guys for being so welcoming and dealing with my shenanigans this past year. You have made me laugh, cry, and reached out to me when I needed it. Seriously, when my uncle passed away last month more people here contacted me than my "real life" friends. Which is both kinda sad and pretty amazing. I could try to single out every single one of you, but you all know who you are and even if you don't think this is applies to you, it does. Because everyone here means a lot to me and everyone has made an impact on me. I love you guys and I can't wait to see you!!! <3 <3 <3
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.
For me, that is huge. Finding this board back in 2011, I was the definition of a lurker. It took winning the QSAROO scholarship in 2012 to bring me out of my shell & begin posting. I started getting to know you guys, meeting up at fests and shows and even college football games. I started posting birthday cakes in the birthday thread, because, well yeah, birthdays are special. I laughed my head off in the headliner thread and really grew to love the smart asses we have/had on here. Something clicked. You became my people. I have slumber partied with you, vacationed with you, celebrated with you as well as been heartbroken with you, danced with you, thrown glowsticks with you, lovebombed with you, played matchmaker with you and even performed a wedding with you.
I wish I could list every single one of you here, every one of you that has touched my heart, made me smile/laugh/cry(in a good way). Those that text me to check on me. Those that take care of me when I drink too much fireball (never again). And I am really going to try to start doing that (thank you token07!!), but for now, know for my 5,000 post, I just want to say how very much y'all mean to me. I love you guys. And I mean it.

I always forget about this one. Now it's bookmarked. Thank you, my dear! <3
Going back and reading past threads all day long, and discovered this one. So much love, so much greatness.
I don't talk about this frequently, but I had a few depressing months late '16 - early '17. Coincidentally, that period was when I actually started writing here. Since then I've been trying to share my love for music with you all. (Also some stupid details about my life.) All that positive feedback I've been getting here has helped me a lot, and there are not enough words that could describe the gratitude I have for y'all.
I love you guys, and I hope I have the chance to meet more of you soon.

After ten years and countless friendships on this board, I'm always amazed how many people joined Inforoo in the middle of depression, and credit it with helping them overcome it. I'm glad it could do for you what it's done for myself and many others.
