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!!
Stay far away from what Bonnaroo did this year. That was a god-awful way to announce the lineup.
I still don't think that was as bad as the "Let's announce bands one at a time at random intervals on MySpace" that Roo did in 2010. I think it took 8 hours to get all the bands finally announced.
Haha, I wasn't aware that Bonnaroo existed in 2010, so I'm glad I didn't have to experience that.

Haha I remember everyone was sitting there hoping for a surprise for the last artist and 9pm rolls around and it was Stevie Wonder who was already known. Very anticlimatic ending.
Obviously this has not been the best rollout of a festival lineup, so I was thinking... What do you all think would be the absolute best way to announce a lineup? let's here some creative ideas.
I liked Gov Balls idea last year where they printed it in NYT. Some kind of interaction with other attendees would be interesting - like a digital scavenger hunt and have people pre-register for it (maybe with a perk for someone who does really well). So you have a few hundred people signing up and provide each person with a clue and they have to work together to solve the artists attending.. I don't know just a quick thought.. of course it could all go downhill if enough people do not participate.
For the first Firefly when they added artists (Knocks, Bassnectar, Modest Mouse and a few more) they put out a hangman style puzzle.
I suppose a crossword would be pretty neat too? Print one out in USA Today or in an issue of Spin, Rolling Stone or Billboard and have people fill it out - of course they'd have to follow-up within a day or so of publishing to officially announce as I'm sure there would be a few gaps or issues.

just crap it out and be done with it. wipe. flush.
I bet it comes out tomorrow, because it never comes out today.
Very true. The stupid ticket contests are really starting to annoy me, but is good marketing I guess to counter their incredible failure with the lineup.

Judging by the reading comprehension skills displayed in this thread, the hold up is likely Firefly having to hire a crack team of linguists to figure out how to properly communicate the lineup to it's fans.

It would have taken much longer, but unlike Bonnaroo they don't have to sift through tens of thousands of posts that the nerds of their fanbase waste their time accumulating.

This could be the most nonsensical comeback in the whole thread. Good work.

Considering that Bonnaroo released their lineup several weeks before Firefly, Bonnaroo must employ an army of the world's top linguists.

Now we get back into the same old cycle where someone comes in, takes a low blow at Firefly/the thread for no apparent reason, people get defensive, etc, etc. Let me go ahead and finish this off so we save time>
Carlzner: I only have 300-something posts, you guys are strange geeks for posting so much.
Inforoo Person 1: No need to call us names.
Firefly Person 1: We only did that because people came in here and insulted our reading comprehension for no reason.
Inforoo Person 2: LOLZ, this thread is a dumpster fire.
Inforoo Person 3: Officially better than the Hangout Thread.
Firefly Person 2: I can't take this anymore, I'm blowing my brains out with a shotgun right after I hit submit.

I wonder how many times this cycle has already been repeated. I'd say atleast 20 times.
I wish the Firefly thread was around when Lost was an active tv show. Your (the Firefly collective) demand for answers, justifications, and satisfying conclusions would have been great.
WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING POLAR BEAR AND THE FROZEN DONKEY WHEEL??? WE DEMAND ANSWERS!!!

The only problems I have with this analysis are: a) some of the incoherent and blatantly incorrect opinions people have expressed in this thread do warrant some level of criticism, and b) Carlzner, Firefly Person 1, Firefly Person 2, and Firefly Person 3 all happen to be members of Inforoo.
The main point is that carlzner is the fucking worst
He does get defensive a lot, but just that; defensive.
It takes someone else coming in and making an incendiary/obnoxious comment about the thread for him to get into it; he's not really ever the one starting anything.

Nailed it.
If we took this cycle out there would only be like 4 pages of actual discussion left. Whether we all want to admit it or not though, the day MikeG randomly showed up was very entertaining. The timing could not have been better.
