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!!
1. Getting some shut eye in That Tent in the morning allowed me a few extra hours of sleep 2. Sit down! Whenever you can! Nobody said you had to stand for every show, sitting under a tree off to the side still allows you to hear the music but it rests your feet for those shows where you want to be up front. 3. If you havent been before, imagine how much walking you think you will do. Multiply by 10. 4. Beef Jerky. 5. Don't buy draft beers in Centeroo if you are getting mediocre(bud, etc) beer, get bottles.(You can stick them in a pocket, someone bumping into you wont spill them, they stay colder longer) 6. If you wear high heels to Bonnaroo and are dressed like you are in Beverly Hills, expect me and my friends to laugh at you when a golf cart knocks a cloud of dust all over you. Its Bonnaroo, come dressed properly and dont get pissed off when you get dirty.(Yes, we did see this on Thursday).
Thats all I've got for now, I'm going to friggin bed...
I was in line for beer and saw two girls that looked straight out of a Whitesnake video - pleather hot pants, clear platform heels and oodles of makeup and hair. they were very impressed with themselves, i hope they didn't sprain an ankle.
I didn't see any heels but I did see some very impractical, yellow patent leather, closed toe flats. The girl wearing them was very "scene" but we thought it was the most ridiculous thing we had ever witnessed and basically laughed in her face.

1. I ended up in the hospital Fri night (super low blood sugar) because I only drank water, water, water. Next time, beer, beer, beer! No, seriously, I should have taken Oat's advice about the Gookinade and brought powder to put in all my water, or at least have brought gatorade to drink. I felt better when I filled my Manchester Medical Center huge coolie cup with ice and OJ on Sun as we were packing up to leave.
2. Megan I believe suggested freezing fruit cups and bringing them in the cooler. This was one of the best things I ate. Frosty in the middle and tropical fruit juice surrounding the fruit. YUM so cool.
3. Come in an RV so I can cool off between the trips to Centeroo!
4. Come in an RV so I have a clean place to pee. I had acquired a UTI in 24 hours from holding it in in order to avoid the port a stanks.
5. Follow the advice about using dry ice in a really large 5 day cooler where everything is solidly frozen and transfer some out to a couple of smaller coolers for day use.
6. Shade from something dark is deeper shade than from my EZ up white shade canopy. In my camp R2D2, there were two huge RV's pulled about 15 feet apart and they had blue shade that completely covered between them. It looked so nice in there.
7. Put a tarp under your tent. It keeps the tent bottom clean and keeps the ants from finding the one tiny hole in the bottom of your tent and coming in just to crawl over your arms and wake you up early.
8. I learned that I am much more of a wimp than I thought I was !~~~ so sad finding this out. I thought those who were talking about "conditioning" for 'roo were being silly. NOT SO!!
9. The headlamp on elastic that could be either red or white light was my life saver at night. I could never have navigated the crowds at the shows or have kept up with all my stuff at camp, but also for the night time porta stank trip.
10. 5 gallon sun shower. Keep it in the shade for washing off my feet (in their Crocs) with cool, clean water several times a day.

Yeah, I learned that lighting charcoal in between 4 tents during a drought is damn risky. We brought kabobs for Friday's dinner, lit the grill and then PRAYED that the wind wouldn't whip the flames somewhere bad (damn, they were BIG!). Thankfully, everything turned out fine and the kabobs were really good. Lesson: Forget the grill, pack more pasta salad instead.

I learned that people with spray bottles randomly spraying people as they walk through centeroo and the crowds at concerts are my new favorite people in the world. I offered every single one of them a beer or two
Love the random sprayers and random massagers late at night!!!!!
I also discovered how wonderful a wash cloth can be. I would soak this in my cooler every morning then put it in a plastic bag and take into Centerroo. This saved my life all day long.
I also learned that Bonnaroo has finally figured out how to give us clean, cold water. I was very impressed to not have to smell the sulfur water this time around.

I smelled the sulfur.
I learned that mist bottles and a wet towel on your shoulders can and will save your life.

Bring two identical pairs of sandals. When one becomes unbearably dirty, hose them off, stick them on the top of your car to dry and put on the clean pair. By the time the clean pair become dirty the pair that was dirty drying on top of your car are ready to put on. Repeat.
i learned, if you go to the Beer/water stands, they will fill up your spray bottles and dip your shirt, towel, or washcloth in the tub of freeeeeeezing cold ice water, for free

I learned that no matter how much I wanted to wear my trusty Birk sandals, those orange Crocs I bought (thanks to you guys!) did the job 100 times better - not once did my feet hurt all weekend.
I learned that even though everyone says you can't do Roo without a Camelbak, I hated carrying the weight of 1-2 liters of water on my back. I ditched it Friday afternoon and just went with my shoulder bag and bought bottled water.
I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to...
