I'm going in 2019!

I’m seriously considering it.

I just bought our tickets. This is the first year I've gone without working it since 2010.

This will be my 10th roo, it’s a special occasion!

And I have to say.....

My first year was 2006 and I can literally say it changed my life. It lit a fire inside me for festivals that has enriched my life 10 fold. I went to several over the next few years, including Roo in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012. I returned to the farm in 2017 and 2018 and looking forward to 2019.

A lot of things have changed over that time and I see a ton of people on here bemoaning this (sometimes including myself.) Yes, the vibe is different and the late nights are not quite what they were. Yes, the sets are shorter. Yes the attendees are of a little different ilk and yes, the booking strategy has evolved. But all of these things have helped this fest stay relevant and able to survive and thrive in the marketplace. And I think they have done a good job of keeping the core of the brand in mind along the way (unlike other fests like Hangout...which is now totally different now.)

I wish some sets were longer, and the tents would go past 3am, and more guitar/bass/drums rock act were booked, I miss the Cinema and Comedy tents...but many of the changes have been positive. Easier entry to site, more organized parking and campground layout, shorter and better security entering Centeroo, better sound on Which (but still could be better), brick and mortar restrooms, walking bridge over that swamp between What and Which, the Plazas over the past few years (with more to come).

All of this to say, I enjoyed Roo each time I have been there and have never regretted going. Go in with a good attitude and an open, carefree mind and Roo will never disappoint.

I filled out a volunteer application. I better go, or they'll ban me.

Yep, I've gone RV since 2017. I got too old to handle 4 days of intense heat with little to no sleep in a tent that is baking in the sun by 8am. RV with A/C with the blinds drawn is where its at. We bring multiple grills, corn hole, beer pong tables, TV with Dish and a kick ass soundbar,...we even have a swimming pool with a filter. Our group is all in our 50's now so we need those extra comforts.

Nice....but where do you get all that water??

Will be fourth time for our group of 40 somethings

I don't see it.

This was an extremely valuable first post by the way.

Just bought my plane tickets. That's probably more official than buying my roo tickets.

Time for #14.

Backed out of doing a regional burn to go to Roo and hopefully see lots of friends there. I haven't purchased a ticket yet, but I'm planning on returning!

There’s a thread fer that.

This’s the best we’ve got:

And like I said in there I don’t have the time to try and organize somethin’ m’self. Plus you’re tagged, so it’s not like you don’t know all this already, oh wise one.
