1. I'm going to have a better plan for karaoke at brunch. I kind of threw it all together and it felt like a chaotic mess at times. Plus I didn't get to socialize with people as much as I had hoped to. Upside - Pretty sure everyone who was there knows who the hell I am now LOL
If it helps, it sounded like y'all we having a good time with it. I went back to chill in my tent but that version of "Wannabe" will remain a Roo memory. :-)
It was on the radio today as i was flipping channels and had to listen for a second b/c of brunch. Cracked me up

Wannabe was literally starting as I was walking away. I hesitated to leave because that song is my jam, but I had to go. I've heard lots about this wannabe rendition since, makes me sad I didn't stay for at least a full minute of it.
Hahaha, I had no idea that Wannabe was so entertaining. Can someone PLEASE let me know who it was that started that song and allowed me to join in? She was awesome the whole brunch and I want to make sure I put a screen name to the face
All the reason to go back. In six months from now this place will be buzzing with line up talks. And people will start preparing groups and gear. Friendships will be made. And then by next year, we'll all be back and get another reset button.
Last year I went with my ex. We had broken up three weeks prior. I also found out that my dad had cancer. Last years Roo sucked for me. And still, looking back now, it was amazing. Because I was still there. And I still went to brunch. And I fell more in love with my family here. And I cried it out to some top shelf music.
I paid for the whole trip for my girlfriend and myself, this was our second year going together, and I found out on day two she was cheating on me. Kind of put a damper in my ability to enjoy the weekend. Feel like those feelings would just carry over if I went back.
Fuck her, she sucks. Don't let her ruin Roo for you, a few years (or months) from now you won't give a shit about her anyways.

Spice girls wannabe? Kick me off this board if you must but I do love the Spice Girls.

I think when I left LindsayMachine was singing the first line.

I think going with what I feel in the moment instead of what I planned on my schedule. I thought originally that it'd be impossible for me to want to leave Skrillex's set to go see Chance the Rapper. But looking back it would have been totally worth it. Skrillex was awesome but I wasn't blown away to the point where I couldn't have left to see something else just as awesome that I wanted to see. In fact I strangely wasn't in the mood for Skrillex at all...if I went with my feelings I would have saw Deafheaven because I needed an escape for a bit and then went to Chance to make me really happy again. Also I had planned to see Disclosure over Ice Cube...but something was off about Disclosure's set so I really should have gone to Ice Cube's set earlier and stayed. Instead I was strangely roaming between Mastodon, Disclosure, and Ice Cube confused going "I don't know where I should be!"

Aboy napping, the trick is to nap before you are totally exhausted.
I would pull the all nighter, and the sun would have me up before 6. I would try ti nap before noopm but it never worked that way. I just rested during some of the day sets. For me its all about prioritizing. I know I wont be able to see everything I want too, so I make sure I'm at full speed to do the must see shows of the year.
So many people tell stories of missing the late nighta. Not me.

This is going to sound a little strange and very much against my MO but I'm going to try and not fall in love with all these bands on the lineup come February. My strategy next year is to try and wait to go into Centeroo after 3pm to be able to have plenty of energy for LN. Going in right when the music starts because I fall in love with all these bands is great, but it wears me down to much to enjoy things once the sun sets. I sat down for Jack White's encore because I was so drained of energy. I'd much rather be able to dance like crazy during acts I knew before the lineup was released.
I doubled the amount of artists I saw this year compared to 2013. I'm thinking somewhere in between 19-22 sets is a good goal for next year. 28 was too much for me this year, especially trying to introduce my gf to Centeroo, dollar grilled cheeses, the ferris wheel, and being social with neighbors.

Yeah this year's Roo Run is probably going to be the only one for me. I usually don't partake in 5k's or races in general (why pay to go for a run?) but the idea of running at Bonnaroo intrigued me and the fees went to a good cause. I'm glad I did it, but I'm going to save my energy next year to power through the late night shows.
I told myself I would do this last year and I told myself I would do this this year and I have still yet to wake up a couple hours earlier and truly walk around the farm and not simply back and forth from my camp to centeroo. Looking at maps of the farm makes me so curious to actually see what the other 80,000 of you are up to in that weird pop-up town. I hear interesting shiz goes down near the woods.

Last year after Tom Petty was done I walked what felt like 5 miles to get to my firiend's campsite in a Pod by the woods, and holy quack I got the weirdest vibe of my life over there....I don't know if it was just being exhausted from the whole weekend, but it was a strange place...not necessarily bad, just strange.

After Petty I went with some and stumbled upon a DJ show in the middle of all the camping and we danced til like 4:30. It was like a third night of LN shows!!! Walking around the farm is a must. I might have to venture it to the woods it is as bizarre as some say

I camped right by the woods...year 3 for me i think? '09? I can attest to this. The Tree-People were fucking crazy.
Just plain crazy ass noise coming out of there at all hours.
In 2015, I'll wonder off alone more. I tried to stay with my group for buddy system reasons, and I missed out on a lot of things that I wanted to do.
Smaller tent and a better EZ Up, for sure. We were in groop, so I had plenty of room, but it was just bug and redic. Also, MOAR TARPS!
I brought way too much "just in case" gear and supplies. I hardly used any of it. It was my first year, and I read the board diligently, but I thought, "I'm a wuss and these guys are pros!" So I over prepared.
I will buy more of those wide-legged hippie pants. I bought one pair from a vendor last year and I want to wear them every freakin' day.
LOL
