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!!
Also, if it works out that we have one tree and are short on a second, I'm all for pitching in more for a second one. Or third, or whatever. Bonnaroo needs trees. My only request is that we end up with 5 trees one of the plaques should contain a Beyoncé reference.
I just looked and noticed their only $100 short of the whoreshack tree. So we very well may end up with 3.
And you can order as many plaques as you want for an additional $75. If you would like a personalized plaque with Beyonce you could definitely have one.

Oh man. The possibilities.
Is it just 75 to get a personalized plaque? Im lost.
Gonna try and tag people from the original list of donators in the OP. I know this isn't going to work for some names. If you see names that aren't properly tagged and could help out by tagging them and alerting them to this thread that would be mucho appreciated.

Gob Hodling says go with whatever the majority thinks is best on this. I'd also like there to be no reference to 80-year-olds or Mr. Rogers on any plaques, please.

I'm good with whatever. The rest of the money going for the whoreshack tree, then we work towards another tree with what is left over? Maybe one where we do in honor of inforoo members we've lost? A kind of in memorium tree? Just thinking out loud.

Steph ... just catching up and there you are writing what I was thinking. Was thinking of Yoderoo and another that had a heart attack last year I believe. I'm jiggy with the group decision. Quacker will be adding to the WS tree which will probably bring that down the home stretch.
I already donated towards the new tree, and like everyone else, I am perfectly happy with the transfer of funds from last year's tree being pushed forward towards more. I also like the idea of having a third tree dedicated to Yoderoo and whomever else. fawnmart- Are you talking about someone who had a heart attack not on the farm? Redrum/Doug I think?
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.

There was a member who had a heart attack in 2012, I believe. I think his name was Rick, and he was not a regular poster. Someone came to inforoo and told us about it a few weeks after the fest.
bonzai, Doug actually passed away from cystic fibrosis.
I think a general memorial tree for all departed Inforoosters is a great idea; hopefully we can get it planted in an easily located spot. This is something of a macabre thought, but I think we ought to leave some space on the plaque for any names that may need to be added at a later date. I should be able to pitch in a little something depending on when the payment is due, but I need to make sure my finances are in order first.

You're right-Rick, who always referred to us as 'Roo-mates,' had a heart attack Friday morning in 2012 while we were having coffee and getting ready to bring a big canopy to brunch for itrainmonkeys. Thank you for thinking of and remembering him! I gave money for the original tree in his honor, and am totally up for giving more if we can dedicate a tree to all the good souls we've lost along the way at Roo.
Thank you Greta and JHO for filling in my mental blanks. It was Greta that I was recalling telling me about Rick.
I was thinking a twist on what sleepy said.. 'in memory of' yet more upbeat if possible? Like an Irish funeral where we all get good and drunk and tell fun stories before we have to sober up long enough to get through the pain of the funeral.. (Well that's what my Irish family does). But in reverse.. remembering with love and happiness ? I dunno.. rambling.

What about something along the lines of: "For those that we wish were still dancing with us until sunrise "

Just wanted to let everyone know that the leftover $350 from this fundraiser has gone to qsaroo/krissyjo to go towards both Mike and Angie's tree's on the farm.
I'm loving all the photos of the trees popping up on my Facebook feed. It's a perfect spot for it, and should grow into a beautiful tree over the years ahead.
The 5th-grader in me can't help but snicker a little bit though, since 'root' has a different meaning down here. I'll give you a hint... quack quack, motherducker!
