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!!
In all seriousness I personally don't mind the recent threads from newbies. The threads I've seen are at least asking solid questions, and the thread content remains civil and helpful. Sure, the answers are all around this board, but I don't mind repeating stuff I've read elsewhere on here. After all, some of this stuff could at worst help people be better prepared and have a better time, and at best perhaps save someone from a health related emergency.
Again there is oodles of awesome info on here, but some of the long mega threads can be daunting, especially to a newcomer.
Are hot dogs a good food for Bonnaroo? Which brand? What type of meat should they be made of? Should I use bread? How should I cook it? How many will i need? Should i buy regular size? Bun length? Please help. My entire bonnaroo experience is contingent upon this question being answered. Thx.

I don't really mind the logistics type threads. The ones that are annoying to me are "Should I see (band A) or (band B) at (time slot) on (day)?" I swear there are like 10 of those on top of five different schedule threads. That'd be like starting individual threads to talk about each and every track on the new Daft Punk album.

When I first got on here I didn't know much around the way of Roo so this site was incredibly helpful & a good resource. It just so happens I was able to make friends here as well (cue the awww track)

I presume it had something to do with being Canadian?
Yes, I believe it did, tho i dont believe it had any connection to the running joke I've played out, and that was never really all that funny to begin with but had committed too much into it to just let it go. We were all excited noobs once.

I never really mind the repeated threads from n00bs. It's just amusing to pick at them. I think my first thread asked about if my car would get searched because I was underage and had beer... And we all know that every year about 20 of those threads pop up.
But srsly will my desktop run rite if I use this ac adapter and set it all up at my car for late night rave all wknd? BONNNNAAARRroOOOO

Hmm, that woman contacted me on Match.com, saying she was plenty wealthy enough to be my sugar mama, and how she was dying to get her hands on a big wiener. She didn't include that particular pic though, so I thought she was some scammer or an ex-con trying to fool me with inuendo, and I blocked her. I don't know your real name, but if you're here, my bad. I'd totally share a giant hot dog with you, whoever you are.
EDIT: I'll be sure to start my own thread (or maybe one in each section) to make sure this is seen by that cute older lady. And sorry for the clutter, but are E-Z Ups too hard to put up? And does anyone know a good brand? And how many bottles of beer can I take into Centeroo? I wanna load them up in a little trailer that my 3 dogs will pull. Huge bonfire at my campsite Friday morning, since we could use some sort of a group meet-up then, right? The potato salad I plan on making on Monday should be okay left in the trunk til then, no? I'll be arriving lat Thursday night but you'll just have to look for the green RV right in the center of Tent-Only, though I just had an original idea to make it easier - a flagpole!.
I checked the label on these at the store today. I guess sodium nitrite is kosher because it's in there.
No reason it wouldn't be. And it is a good thing in hotdogs, especially if you are going to handle them as poorly as most people handle hotdogs and you don't want botulism or some other nasty bacterial infection. Sodium nitrite is commonly used to cure meats. It is fine that way and it only takes a little bit. You shouldn't eat it by the spoonful or as a condiment, but you wouldn't, and short of that it is safe.

The reason I said that in particular is because of this previous post:

Which seems to dispute that in any amount sodium nitrite is safe. And maybe I don't know, but it seems to me that all the nonfood stuff that goes into processed food is probably not okay to eat.

The blog in question, put forth by an alternative medicine fanatic named Adam McLeod who calls himself "Dreamhealer," so badly distorted what the World Cancer Research Fund said that the WCRF actually issued a response. It seems social media got carried away, with pretty serious disregard for facts. The blogger clearly has an agenda and his creative title was just the first thing wrong with the post in question.
Basically, "dreamhealer" made up the part about the WCRF concluding that "Processed Meats Declared Too Dangerous for Human Consumption," as they made no such declaration, and the WCRF responded that that is inaccurate, saying that his post was "unhelpful and scaremongering." Yes, they recommend eating as little processed meat as possible, but they clearly stop far short of the claims made by dreamhealer.
I should point out that this Dreamhealer also rambles on about things like MSG, even though the aforementioned WCRF research had nothing to do with MSG, and also did not focus specifically on sodium nitrite. And of course our Dreamhealer cites his sources very poorly, jumps to conclusions, does not make clear distinctions between scientific evidence and his opinions, and had has a clear agenda, which is to make money selling advertising, books and dvds that support his case. The WCRF takes a pretty extreme (and somewhat controversial) position already, so please folks don't believe everything you read on some random wacko's blog when even they try to distance themselves from him.
Edit: If you want to believe a guy who writes books with titles like Dreamhealer:- A True Story of Miracle Healing, and The Path of the Dreamhealer:- The Quantum World of Energy Healing, that's fine. But when someone like that tries to talk science and gets a bunch of stuff wrong, I think it is important to call him on so that and question his credibility so others are not led astray unknowingly.
