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!!
How is this even a consideration? If you didn't care about her and her family, you wouldn't still be together after one year. As great as Bonnaroo is, you should really get your priorities straight. You're talking about seriously hurting the feelings of her immediate family, and her, so that you can go to a music festival.
I am thinking about marrying her but not for a few years. I'm not really about the marriage part. We love each other and live together happily. Don't need much more. She hasn't talked about it because she cannot go. She knows I want to go also very badly. As of now just gonna wait for the line up see how it goes. Just looking for ideas on how to work this out. She loves concerts so I've tried to make a deal I'll buy her firefly ticket if she lets me go... It might work!
The alternative is right in front of your face.
Look, if you have the weekend of Firefly free - go there instead. Your girl is gonna be pissed off if you bail on her to go to Roo. I have skipped the last three Bonnaroos for various reasons. Would I liked to have been there? Yeah. But you know what, you can watch half the sets online anyway. Go to the wedding, catch the webcast for Roo in your free times, and then go to Firefly.
In 2012, I had a ticket to Moogfest and my girl gave me an ultimatum: go to Asheville and come home single. I sold my ticket and stayed home. As much as I like going to festivals, I like being with her more.
I'm in a similar situation. My cousin is getting married that weekend. I need to see the lineup before I decide what to do. It's going to be a painful decision either way, but it's going to be an informed decision.
Not a fun situation. From seeing the leak I am not really happy about the lineup. I may have a different taste in music than you but I'm trying Okeechobee this year. If you're into that you should check it out.
my post was only half true. I'm actually a wedding cinematographer, and I can tell you that anyone that matters IN the wedding doesn't give 2 shits if you're there or not. as far as - being 21 - only dating 1 year - her not talking about it - leads me and my years of experience to assume that........well lets just leave that as that. communication is key and that's a 2 way street. cheers!

I've decided I should go to this wedding. It's a terribly hard decision, but it's the right thing for me to do. The bride's mother, my first cousin, is like an older sister to me. This may also be the last hurrah for a generation in their late 80s (of which my father is one) and I really feel like I need to be there. Roo is quite literally the highlight of my year. Yes, there are other festivals. But Roo has a special place in my heart and is a place where I get to see friends that I just love being around. Oh, well. 10 in 11 years isn't too shabby.
Need everyone's help..... I love Bonnaroo of course like most of you. If I can attend this year it will be my 5th year in a row. I am 21 by the way. Here's the problem though my girlfriend of 1 year. I introduced her to Bonnaroo last year and she loved it. Before we went she thought she was going to hate the hot weather and not like many of the bands playing. She didn't know how great Bonnaroo though. So she now knows my love for Bonnaroo and how great it is. She said it was the best time of her entire life and she never wants to miss another one. Well the problem is her brother (which I'm not very close with) wedding is on the 3rd day of Bonnaroo in Charleston,SC. I would really much rather go to Bonnaroo. Any suggestions guys on how to work this out?? Anytime I bring up the idea of going she tells me to not even bring it up cause it depresses her missing it. Thanks everyone!
Simple, you got this! 1. Find out everything you can about wedding preparations and plans. 2. Call caterer and/or venue. Offer them a bribe of $x00 to say something has come up and the selected date will no longer work, and suggest the following weekend. 3. Go to Bonnaroo, then the wedding the next week.
If it wasn't someone so close (to her) you might have other options, but with it being her brother you have to go. Plan B: settle for another festival. We all love Bonnaroo but surely something else could be fun.
As much as I live for Bonnaroo, this is a no brainer. Go to the wedding and stream the webcast. Plan on talking to someone who is there as well to give you the lowdown on what's going on.
Come back next year ready and prepared to dominate at Roo!
