Wow. That was freaking nuts. What a biatch. I totally would have burned those clothes up by now. And a repeat question; I saw the pics of wristbands she posted, why did she need yours OP?

Yeah...I have no idea about the wristband pictures...I do not think she had access to the 4 wristbands I had...they were in the envelope they arrived in, tucked in the passenger side visor...where they remained until I handed them out on Wednesday before going thru the gates...was it a picture that was posted a few days before Roo?
She really is. this this and look here are some of her reviews all the above links NSFW (I know, I shouldn't use my Google-fu for evil but it sounds like it was justified in this case.)

HOLY FUCK. Ok. So as some of you may know/read, me and my crew were looking for people to join us for our road trip from jersey to 'roo and stay in our RV. SHONDA responded and actually seemed very promising. Exchanged numerous emails regarding pricing, pick up, who was in the rv, music we liked, etc. Once we gave her our facebook info and tried to arrange a time to get together and meet before the festival, we never heard from her again. poof... disappeared! We emailed a time or two after that with more information (thinking maybe she didnt like what she was hearing and needed more, etc), but that was that for blacklily...
UNTIL sunday she emails us using the email SWEETEBONY4you@yahoo.com asking for a ride back to her. Based off the link listed above where she's pretty much nude, it must have been her! Man our sincerest apologies for getting ripped off man. She seemed lovely in the emails and that easily could have been us.
We'd also like to give a special thanks to jtfrankz who was the only one we managed to get from inforoo and we couldn't have asked for a more amazing, kick ass person to join our crew.

It's really sad that someone would take advantage of people being trusting and kind and welcoming . I don't know how anyone could not feel guilt for doing something like that. I'm so sorry you were on the receiving end of this. Karma will catch up with her eventually, she obviously is not a very nice person.
I'm thinking Blacklily was ready to make payment, just not in the manner you were expecting. Maybe she needs to polish her communication skills before entering into another business arrangement.

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.
hey, Charmingfrog: if you'll PM me your address (or PayPal, if you prefer), I'd like to send you a little token to help make up for your fiscal losses. I'm strapped as hell so it won't be much. But anything is still more than what she paid, right?
We're Inforoosters & we take care of each other. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm already sick of hearing about HER. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to help put a positive spin on this awful tale. Thanks, man.
And we are with you Holls. I'll throw in for this. Same deal here however a good heart was royally screwed in all the wrong ways. And was still gracious - maybe a little over zealous with the multiple posts but for the right reasons. Did some more googling and it appears on MySpace she
TMd
her name. Not a good sign.
Thought about responding from QSAROO however my language would not be appropriate. There is so much kindness, generosity, good will, and love on this board. To quote my partner in all things good.. We live to spread goodness and gifting.. however NO ONE Fuuuuuckkss with the love of this community and walks away unscathed. Karma will revisit Black Lily when it deems appropriate. This is not ours to do. From google searches it appears she might have two young boys. Here's hoping her soul is good and she does it all for them...
Lets take Holls lead, share the love for charming and let this thread go by the wayside knowing our amazing mods will be on the watch.

Well now Charming... Are you as sincere as you say?
The Roosters were/are willing to throw down for you and now.. now... heavy sigh.. word is perhaps your motives are not as pure as suggested. Perhaps you have been on other sites and not been so magnanamous. The intrawebs is an informative place. Please say your are not using the scam to scam. ??
Repeat statement.. NO ONE Fuuucckkks with the I-roo community.

First of all...my apologies for the late response. I spent a good part of the day on the computer...working on pulling photos from the weekend together to share with friends who were not able to make the party this weekend...and yes...also here at Inforoo spreading the Shonda word and responding to posts here and there...but the evening had me getting back on board with things that needed to be done at home, having been away for almost 2 weeks...
Second of all: WOW. I am 100% completely BLOWN AWAY by the fact that there are people here who are willing to kick in HARD EARNED MONEY to ease the financial burden I have incurred this past weekend at what was for the most part yet another magical Bonnaroo (my 6th). Using a scam to scam? Not at all. As a matter of fact, I absolutely will not accept any kind of fundraising on my behalf, though I can tell you it has made me a lil teary eyed (I'm waaaaaaay too sensitive on things like that!) and WARMED MY HEART. Truth of the matter is, I should have gotten the payment up front, so...admittedly...some of the blame for this rests on me. I just have this like...this trusting nature. I like to BELIEVE in people. And that belief is often times gauged by what I WOULD DO. By MY PERSONAL HONOR to others. Often times...whilst out at a bar...having a few...I'll make new friends very quickly...and even when someone attempts to buy me a drink...I often times decline with a "Thank you, but you don't have to do that..." I don't know why. I just know things are tight for everyone financially...it's a weird thing with me. I'd rather be the one buying the drinks. Know what I mean? Just the way I am. So again....BLOWN AWAY. Your words of support have gone a looooooooong way to putting me back on the right path again...Thank you for that...
And yes...I went a little koo koo with posting the story on pretty much every forum...But it WAS for the right reasons. I really just had this fire under my ass to get the word out...to make sure no one else was scammed by her. Apologies for that. She did seem lovely...I mean...I'm not kidding when I say once we were friends on FB, we had HOURS of chat...feeding the excitement of Bonnaroo...but also the excitement of this new friendship...we had ALOT of laughs...she seemed smart, charming, funny...was really looking forward to seeing our friendship grow in the future...in the really REAL world...and also to introduce her to some of the AMAZING people I had joining the crew for Roo. I seriously do have this magical way of surrounding myself with the best people...It's one of my greatest blessings in life, to be honest...
And for whatever reasons...I have picked up on some vibes...that I might have some kind of reputation for being a less than honorable person...but when I politely inquire with those individuals as to why...what the reasons/details are to feed that...I never seem to get a response from anyone. I have from time to time felt the need to defend myself, but I try to choose my words carefully and stay respectful. There was actually an individual here who I felt was trying to make me look like a DB to Shonda when we initially had some contact on the boards regarding the rideshare...directing her to a Tent City offer I had put out in 2010 that was ABSOLUTELY clear and concise...no smoke & mirrors....just an offer for people to accept or decline...I felt it kinda put me in a poor light...I actually looked at many of this persons 1,000's of posts...and to be honest...most of them seemed pretty negative...always shooting SOMEONE down on something...so yes...I defended myself on that...and although there were some not so nice things said...in the end...I tried to wrap it up on the high road. I don't know if that is what people are referring to.
I have a festival group page on FB...called RIKI JEE'S KALOOPAHGROOP...a way to keep all the wonderful people I meet out in the playfield in touch and stay on the same page...because if we partied together at a festival 3 years ago...and LOVED partying together...well...if we are hitting the same party in the near future....let's BURN IT DOWN ALL OVER AGAIN!! I currently have 210 members. All people met at festivals. All people I am honored to have met, and feel confident they would say the same about me. I welcome any and all of you to join...and experience first hand the love and respect I recieve...and more importantly...the love and respect I put out....Aside from that...seriously...if there is some reason why I have this (in my heart, unjustified) reputation...by all means...share with me! I have the uncanny ability to step outside the bubble and see things from other angles...and if I happen to be the bad guy in a story...I'll be the first one to say, "You know what, you're right...maybe I didn't go about this the right way..." Seriously...I would love to have you in The Kaloopahgroop. You all seem like my kinda people... : ) On that note...Thank you again for your kind words and AMAZING intentions. Much LOVE to you all. No messin. Time for sleepsville for me...will catch up in the next couple days...
