getting a tent only group together again

edit 6/7: YES, THERE IS STILL ROOM! We don't have any set number of spots.

I'm putting together a camping group (aka "Camp Inforoo") for the tent only camping area. Last year we had a cool group of some folks from the listserv and some people who flew in and it was a blast. So I figured I'd float the idea here. For those who might be out of the loop, the tent only area is right across from centeroo and there is as much space to spread out as you want. The campsite we had last year was ~2 min from centeroo and you could see and hear the main stage from the campsite.
The Details:
Who's welcome: everyone*. If you are a 5 yr vet or this is your first time, if you post here every day or you just read the posts once a week, whatever, if you play well with others, you're welcome. *the one exception we unfortunately have to make is dealing drugs. Personal use is a personal matter, but we're not cool with dealing out of the campsite. Not an ethical thing, just don't want the random foot traffic or the attention from the man.
Where: the tent only area right near centeroo. I talked to someone from 'roo who confirmed that the tent only area will be set up the same as last year. Here's a last year's map w/ Camp Inforoo's location marked (just a note, the names of the campsites may be changed from last year, but the layout should be the same).


and here's my flag, which should be up by noon on Thurs at the latest (check the thread for the discussion about setting up camp and getting together before that)


When: the group usually makes camp Thurs am or early afternoon, but showing up later shouldn't be a major hassle. taraanne81 has a stickied thread in logistics about getting people to hold camping spots.
Why: well, we're pretty cool. The more the merrier, trade beer, bbq together, yada yada yada.

If you're interested, first read through the thread. It's gotten long but there have been lots of questions asked and answered and you'll get to know some of the group. Then introduce yourself here (the email list has been scrapped as most discussion is happening here). If you have any questions feel free to ask them here or PM me.

Here's a list of who will probably join us. The actual number may be more as most people aren't coming solo (that sounds like it belongs in the "Sex at Bonnaroo" thread...). I'll try to keep it updated (with the emphasis on "try")



As we're getting close I just wanted to mention a few things.

New people are still welcome to join us in Camp Inforoo, there is no email sign-up anymore (got unwieldy) so no need to PM me. Feel free to introduce yourself in the thread though. It's a good idea to at least give the whole thread a glance over as well, lots of questions have already been asked and answered. When (or rather, if) I have time I'll update the list of people in the first post, but that's a very informal list, so if your name's not on it, don't sweat it, it doesn't mean you're not invited.

Lastly, we need to get the early arrivers organized. It sounds like lucid isn't going to be there hella early so we need to find out who the first ones will be. I should get to Manchester around 8 am and with the way traffic has been at that time should have my camp (and the flag) set up by noon on Thursday at the latest (again barring something weird). So let me know (PM or just reply here) if you are expecting to get to Manchester BEFORE 8 am on Thursday and we can figure out how to identify each other (I'm easy to pick out, I'll be wearing a very loud Hawaiian shirt).
