Some Brunch FAQs

WHAT is Inforoo Brunch?

Since
2007 Inforoo members, friends & family, and others have gathered on
Friday morning to meet, eat, drink, and be merry. It’s a great way to
start the first full day of Bonnaroo and put a face to avatars and
screen names, visit with friends old and new.



WHEN is Brunch?

Parade – 9:30 | Brunch – 10:00

The
Pre-Brunch Parade goers gather at 9:30 AM at Matt’s Tree, located in
Access Camping directly across from the Clock Tower. At 9:45-ish, after a
moment of remembrance, those gathered Parade loudly from Matt’s Tree,
past the Arch, to Tent Only and Brunch, which starts around 10:00 AM.

Matt
Sloan was a beloved member of this community. At the time of Matt’s
death in June 2010, he was working to rebuild homes in New Orleans that
had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Matt believed that making New
Orleans whole again would require not only renovation of damaged homes,
but restoration of the total environment. It was his vision to establish
a nonprofit dedicated to replanting trees and native landscaping that
would positively impact the well-being of every returning resident. Read

WHERE is Brunch? HOW do I find it?

Brunch
is at Camp Inforoo in Tent Only. The exact location of Camp isn’t known
until people get in and set up. It is normally inside the perimeter of
the Tent Only section to discourage theft by passersby.

1. Look for the Inforoo & Baby Flags. Don’t give up! Tent Only is not that big.
2. Meet others at Matt’s Tree and join the Parade
3. Wait for the Parade to pass by the Arch around 9:45 – 10:00
4. Yell “Corncat” and listen for “Nom nom nom” in response.
5. Trade phone numbers with other Inforoo members. We WILL send out a search party!
6. Follow @inforoobunny on Twitter. I will tweet the location/landmarks on Thursday morning


WHAT should I bring?

That
depends on how motivated you are, how far you have to travel, and your
camping arrangements. Extra tables, shade, coolers, ice, beer and water are
always needed.

Bring Booze. Bring anything tasty to eat or drink; plates,
cups, sporks. Some people make things ahead. Some people bring a
culinary specialty or something from their part of the county
(hushpuppies, muffalettas, sausage gravy, ham rolls, cheese curds, etc.). Those in RVs who
have access to ovens & microwaves have better options. I bring
Mimosas.


If
you are a day parker, have an RV or are in VIP and feel like a field trip, coffee would
be so awesome! Starbucks has coffee to go, not sure if there is a
Dunkin Donuts nearby, or a local coffee shop that offers something
similar.


I don’t know anyone. I will feel weird/out of place/like I don’t belong.

When
I organized the first Brunch I had not met one single Inforoo member,
ever. I feel weird/out of place/like I don’t belong rather often. But
never at Brunch! I have met so many super cool people and made some true
friends for life - because I was brave enough to start this thing that
has become a tradition. If I can do it? You can do it. Trust me.

Word.

This will indeed be a very special bonnaroo memory for me I think. I am really looking forward to meeting you cool people.

I'm going to try and make it a point to come this year. The one thing I'm worried about is that I'm bringing a handful of people and organizing things might be difficult, but I'm gonna try and make it up alone if worst comes to worst.

My plan is to tell my peeps how to find the site (parage/corncat/etc), then if they're not ready when I am, they are on their own. My first year I missed some music I wanted to see because I was trying to wait for people. I've since gotten much more hardened and have been known to leave my boyfriend if he's not in gear when I'm ready.

Yes, especially if its the South Park one that dispenses cooling gel and cab fare.

Whoreshack rule: They can't confiscate what they can't see.

I have had a pocket knife with me every year (it stays at camp), but they have never seen it during the search, so I don't know how strict they are on the rule.

It helps around camp with ropes and zip ties and such.






Also, stabbing smart mouthed senior citizens.

I thought I was stretching it a little with that one. I like to have a little variety going, but I appreciate the vote of confidence regardless.

Only if they deserve it.
