Here are a couple of pictures of items that I have purchased for Bonnaroo - bust out that digital camera and show us what you've spent your Roo cash on.
Here is the 70qt Coleman 5-Day cooler that I bought at Wal-Mart for $30 at Wally World, a tent fan + light that I got off eBay for ~$20, I got three of those Cutter Citronella bucket candles for $3.50 each, a Coleman North Star battery operated lantern for $30 off Amazon, and a double stacked queen size Ozark Trail air matress for ~$30 at Wally World. We blew up the air matress in our living room and it was like a real bed... very comfortable.
Here is the shade tent I got from Wal-Mart... I was a bit concerned as it was very cheap ~$20, but it is suprisingly stable and came with some good stakes. I don't plan on using the guy lines that came with it... if properly used the stakes should take care of it. Here it is set-up in my backyard yesterday, I managed to do it by myself and it held up to some pretty strong wind without budging.
I apologize for this goofy picture (I was extremely tired and sunburnt from being at the park all day). I got the shirt on Friday and I like it... the Rooster is well drawn and the shirt is good quality. I can always use a good T-shirt.

Well I didn't just buy this, but Roo will be my second time using it. Anyone know if it will be too large? Also, what are those strings for - do I need them?

Spark, saw your first post. That pic came out huge! (think I fixed that)
Okay, just that I haven't seen any other tents with strings hanging off them, and wasn't sure if my was a little ghetto, old school etc. (I'm a rookie when it comes to camping) ; )
Edit: and love the lyrics below your pic...heard that song this morning (DMB, Red Rocks 05')

yes the original is one of my faves and is on my myspace
(www.myspace.com/evilbecca)
I recognized the song when I first heard DMB play it, but no clue who sings the original..(tried to listen to it on your myspace but couldn't - not a big deal)
Kitten, I recently got a pair of prescription sunglasses, and love them too.

Meg: the shade tent looks similar, but my poles and tarp are different - it is a little complicated to setup, but I managed to do it by myself the first time in about 15 minutes.
Crazy: I'm diggin the dress, very nice - and of course the obligatory bathroom mirror picture :-)
I bought this off-brand EZ-Up shade tent from Dick's. It's a 12x12 and I got it on sale for $70. It was super easy to put up and will hopefully gain us a little extra sleep in the mornings. I also bought the FJ Cruiser for Roo.

i looooove your cruiser trix, that's the exact color i'd get, too! it's so prettyful! ;D
Thanks, I'm in love with it.
Where did you find the hat? It's really awesome. Do you think it will breathe well? Oh, and that dress looks great on you!
i found it at a local surf shop, i spotted it online first but i was hesitant to buy it without making sure it was comfy first! it's made out of natural materials (paper!) so i'd imagine it would breathe really well, it's woven and not lined so it has little teeny breathy holes too
and thanks! i'm not a big dress wearer, but roo brings it out in me ;D
Damn! Drinking too much tonight. Would post the pics of the material I bought for the quilt I made but Dame, too incoherent to type anymore. Will go upstairs and listen to a little "Pros and Cons of Hitchiking" Hope people know who put that one out...... I won't give it away until I check tomorrow, and maybe i'll be sober enough to tak a few small pics of my quilts..... (That everyone's seen already....)
Oh yeah, bought the 8 x 10 Sundome yesterday........ Made by coleman its a tent....

actually - ours looked identical to yours last year when we first bought it - it has been set up in my backyard since we got home from roo last year - LOL
and I think there was a reason it was a PITA for us to put up - we tried to get it set up on Thursdaymorning after haveing been up all night due to recreational pursuits.
