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!!
wish i could be there to help add to your good times i think every veteran ROOer (and especially infoROOers) should seek out a ROOkie and do SOMETHING to help them (free smoke, beer, water, take a picture)
Let me get my nametag-
Hi my name is Bocephus-I see you are a young lady- would you like to go back to camp to talk about this infozoo? i mean Inforoo?
don't drink alcohol during the day. its not worth it, two of my friends blacked out.
Seriously, as an old-school festie man...this is the ONE piece of advice I always give to noobie friends. Don't drink a bunch of alcohol in the middle of a 100 degree afternoon.

I stayed in my tent through Tiesto... It was raining and I wasn't feeling well. It sounded so amazing as the rain hit my tent. I still regret it. No way am I missing Oakenfold this year. ugh... can't believe I missed tiesto.
Not bringing enough pickles. Try finding a jar of pickles on Shakedown at 4 in the morning with a head full of corn. Not easy.
i snuck in a huge glass jar of pickles last year.... the whole time we were waiting in line to get searched i was all worried about them finding and taking my pickles... heh

don't take 2 xanax bars in the span of 15 minutes.
i did this in '06. i believe it was 11ish at night on a saturday. i was all ready to catch sasha spin. next thing i know, i woke up to 'the shining' playing in the cinema tent. i walked out and the sun was up. it was like 8am on sunday morning.

Water not alcohol . Alcohol does not keep you hydrated it does the exact opposite . So use those water stations and keep a wet cloth handy . The reason for the cloth is you place it on your wrists and the back of your neck . those are easy cooling points on your body .

DO NOT fall asleep in your tent with your hoodie still on. I got chilly on Friday night last year since we got a decent amount of rain during MMJ, and made the mistake of rolling up in my sleeping bag with my hoodie on still. I woke up the next day completely doused in sweat.

in '07 sasha was there with digweed. in '06 sasha was there by himself.

I know I've posted here as I made many crucial mistakes in 06, but they just all came to my head, so I'll go ahead and post them:
Bring lots of water... like, way more than you think you'd need. Just to be safe. Also in the same conceptual paragraph should be Camel Backs. They saved my life the last two years.
Shade... a canopy is a must, or some sort of shade. If you're sitting around during the day, and you not at Centeroo, chances are you'll need a canopy. For as hot as it gets in the day, tents and cars aren't good substitutes at all.
Baby Wipes... should be self explanatory.
Don't go all out the first day... This is, possibly, the worst thing you could do. In 06, we literally got out of the car at 6 AM Thursday, and by the next few hours, everyone was in another world. It's very easy to be tempted into going crazy, day one, but do try to resist the urge.
Electronics... you never know when you may need a car charger. So, there are many adapters (for whatever it may be, individually) you can get to help you out... having rechargeable flash lights and the ability to recharge phones and the like make Roo much easier.
Take it easy during the day, so as to not miss the essence of Roo; Late Night.
Make yourself socially available to all of your neighbors... you will run into some awesome people at Roo, and a few will be your neighbors. This wasn't a mistake of ours, as we made friends INSTANTLY at Roo (as most people should), and it's something I can't stress enough. Try to create a sense of community amongst your, y'know 15 square yards of your and others' campspace.
Bring your own food and drinks (especially beer) ... there is some great beer and food at Roo, but it is all very expensive. Do what you think you'd need, this is a very relative convenience.
Come prepared for the heat... if you burn easily, bring the best sun screen you can, if you get dehydrated, come with water, if you get just plain hot, bring battery powered fans, wear Summer clothing. Act like your going to stay on a beach for 4 days.
Have a good time. Take it easy. Experience the best weekend of the year.
