oh damn, really? i guess i'll have to do the whole fillup before thing. i was hoping to have a little extra in case we were to run out. im paranoid about running out of gas.
Sounds like this isnt the same elsewhere, but in Ohio if you're over 18 (or 19 I forget) you can transport alcohol. But nothing can be open-not even the box. I'd check out the actual state laws (ie Ohio Administrative Code in Ohio). Or just get what you need in Manchester

Yes, that is the first place they'll check. I would suggest, inside your tires (make sure to bring a 12 volt compressor to reinflate after draining), windshield wiper fluid resevoir (be sure to add blue food coloring), or a motor oil bottle (add appropriate coloring and gelatin as a thickening agent).

Maybe thats a good idea. Do you think bringing a small clean plastic gas can full of everclear would work? Would the mofo check the gas can?
ROTFL
Karma (when I can) for reminding me what it was like to be underage .
Maybe. Of course, in my experience, you might be better off drinking gasoline than Everclear... that snake piss cost me $250 in "minor in possession" fines back in '87 (and, arguably, a college degree... but I digress...).

Well maybe you can. I didn't think of that. I'd check the Roo rules though. I was thinking more about the "no open fires" rule.

I'm sure you could find some friendly people at the Wal-Mart parking lot the night before that would be sympathetic to your plight as well.
Theoretically speaking, I wouldn't be so worried about 'smuggling' it into 'Roo; security's got bigger fish to fry. It's getting it in the first place that's going to be your biggest problem.

yeah really, i'm gunng suggest we get our stuff at the walmart. by the way, do you guys rememeber/know if the walmart stops selling alcohol after a certain time? i know in ny you cant really buy it after 8 or something, down here in fl you can get it any time.
Okay though realistically for bonnaroo vets, if I'm doing the speed limit, none of my friends have long hair or beards we really don't look at all like hippies(the three in my car look like guidos), will we get pulled over and searched because there are 4 of us and cooler on the roof? If we do get pulled over whats the probability we'll get search for no god damned reason? I mean it's not like i'll have just taken my hit of the sunshine acid. I do have a very small DSO sticker on my back window though...

I mean, if your not doing anythng wrong, you shouldn't get pulled over, however sh*t happens- your plates are jersey right?

. Exaclty. . Just don't speed do everything right and you should be fine. We had a new york plated RV last year and never got pulled over, actually any year I've gone I've been fine.
Lol. I think I'm just going to get my bottles and hide it in the sleeping bags. I mean drug dogs dont usually sniff for booze and if I refuse a search they can't do anything.
hey sparklybecca why don't you join our planned caravan to the roo? inertiaticc might join too. We could get it goin and if the pigs throw the cheryy tops on we could just creat a road block for whoever they are chasing.

Yeah I plan on it being handles of the highest class of vodka around...Majorska. It only comes in plastic handles!
I am currently imbibing directly from a 1.75 liter of Mr. Boston Vodka. It's among the cheapest and I read somewhere that it won some competition of (rotgut I assume) vodkas. I usually aim a little higher, but am in festival mode and adapting myself to low budget comsumables in hopes of stretching funds over Langerado, Roo, AllGood, and as many more as conditions allow this year.

Blech! straight from the bottle? the smell of vodka makes me gag, i need mixers for all that jazz
Haha I once consumed 1/3 of a handle in one night...I was still drunk at 2pm the next day. That was a fun time. As far as cheap vodka, Leed's is made like a town over from mine.

if you refuse they can hold you and get search warrant for car in they want to be dicks about it
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
Can they hold me for the time to get a warrant if its a long time? what about that reasonable amount deal? I think I'm going to let the roo provide for me. Do people card when you buy drinks?
nope i haven't seen anyone carded in camping area.centeroo might be something else..and with law changes nationwide over last few years they can get warrant by phone from a judge

Trust me when I say that they'll have people on speed dial for warrants, that weekend. You'll have to sit there as long as it takes for your officer's request to make it to the head of the line. You will have to wait. There will be a warrant. All the way round, if you want minimal hassle:
1. Before you leave, be sure that your registration/license/inspection tags are up to date. Make sure that your proof of car registration and proof of insurance are in your glove compartment. 2. Don't be silly enough to have anything verboten visible in or on your car. Weapons, open containers of alcohol...you know what I'm talking about. 3. Obey the speed limit. 4. Follow that TN-specific law about pulling to the left lane, if an officer has pulled someone else along the side of the interstate. Others in this thread have been stopped for not knowing about that and didn't have their "but someone was IN the left lane" argument accepted. 5. Wear your seatbelts. I don't know the rule in TN, but in most states, if they pull you for something else, they can still ticket you for not wearing your seatbelts. If they can pull you for not wearing a belt in TN, you're just giving them another reason to stop you. 6. Be polite and deferential to the cop, when pulled. Call him sir. When you pull over turn off your engine and roll down the window. Be patient. 7. Answer whatever they ask you. Politely. 8. If they ask to search your vehicle, just say yes. If you're carrying, it's up to you as to what to do; better to just not put yourself in that situation to begin with.
That will lead to minimal likelihood of being pulled and minimal hassle if you are.

Okay. So if instead of a cooler, should I put sleeping bags secured in a roof bag int he rack? and even though we're all under 21 we can't get bagged for the alcohol in the trunk?
yes, you will get in trouble if you are a minor and are in the possession of upopened alcohol. It was just another offense that was added to our tally.
So, yeah.. you might want to consider squeezing someone who is 21 or someone who atleast has some type of alternate id (i'm not condoning it or anything) just saying.
IMO, when the no no dogs sniffed our car, the trainers were doing some strange things with them, so my boyfriend and I believed that if you are profiled and they think you might be holding something, they're gonna say that the dog picked up on it even if they don't. A buddy of mine who is a cop say the k-9 units do that all the time, and find things that were hidden with special care.
And once the cops search your car, they'll go through EVERYTHING. They were extremely thorough, looking in our canopy box and everything.
good looking out kristen, thanks. thats the only thing i'm worried about since i'm driving from new york. i have about 15 hours of driving... which means in those 15 hours, i could possibly be dealing with cops.
