well I think practicality is best in the sense that you don't want to be uncomfortable trying to look cute...but having read all 80 pages you know that haha..... I still ahve to get steady income in before I can really buy anything clothes wise for roo but I am excited for when I can....
Which is wierd for me I must admit haha
I'm pretty broke too but I think I'm going to hit up all the Goodwill's in town b/c they usualy have a lot of cool stuff. Also, we have a Plato's Closet here that has used clothing but it is all still in really good condition...and cheap!

I've never been to Plato's Closet (I must admit that I thought it was a closet/storage store for the longest time). What kind of deals can you find there?

Ooo you can get great deals there. The one in my area is in a pretty wealthy area so they have lots of name brands and expensive stuff. I got a pair of black Italian leather boots for $10 and a pair of Aeropostle pants for $5.
Woah, me too....I thought catching up when the thread was 40 pages long was a chore....you're a trooper little lady!
Not a chore at all; it was worth the read. I've learned that I can be a little more whimsical and feminine at Bonnaroo and not dress so utilitarian and practical.
It's true. Although realistically, thinking about the environment you would think that wearing dresses would just not work, but in fact they are the perfect clothing for the weather. I love wearing the long flowy cotton hippie dresses cos they are cool and also when you sit down, you don't get grass or dirt on your legs

Yeah, practicality is key at roo but the fun part is that at roo, dresses ARE practical! They keep you cool and they allow for awesome dancing...everything you need!

i think on last year's thread becca suggested urban decays glitter eye liner and major props to her because that stuff rocks!
andddd idk if you watch and tila tequila (its my sick little additiction) but there is a girl on the show that uses chap stick on hr eye lids and then presses glitter onto that. i found that it works pretty well but of course i wouldnt use this technique during the day, it would be somethng to add to the late night fun...
So maybe its cliche/cheesy but I really want this shirt:
"Herecomesthesun" is the name I use for pretty much everything, so its pretty hard to resist ;D Its girls' sizes but I think I could do an XXL. Thought I'd share!
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...

Do not do this. Craft glitter (if it gets in your eyes) can cut your eyeball and seriously injure your eye. If you're going to wear glitter, buy glitter that is made to be put on the eyes. Please be careful!
I highly recommend Urban Decay's glitter eyeliner...I wore it for two dance team seasons and LOVE it, but it's a little pricey at $19. If you can't swing that, try Wet and Wild, they have GREAT loose glitter, and all it takes is a little hairspray spritzed on your finger or some wet eyeshadow to put it on.
After 8 years of dance team, I sort of consider myself a glitter expert ;D I will definitely have some on...but only at night. That would be a PAIN to sweat off!
thanks! yeah sat. night i plan on being blinkied and sparklied out, so i am trying to find some body glitter and maybe hair glitter 2. oh and those body gem thingys
yay! i am so excited. i am also a big nerd and already have all my outfits planned. this is my first Roo, but everyone is so knowledgeable that i know we will be really prepared. i am also sucking up my phobia of shoing my very pale chubby arms in a sundress, haha. it seems like this will be the most comfortable way to go.
I always have to be planned and prepared and i have a notebook and i write down suuf i need to buy then i mark it off when i buy it. i also made a box and have been putting my roo stuff in it, so when i need to get everything together i know where it is. I wrote Tara's Bonnabox on the front of it ha ha

Has anyone tried this style of Crocs? I think I'm going to give in and get some for Roo but I want to be cute at the same time and saw these but wasn't sure if they'd cause blisters?
They are the "Malindi" style. I found them on Zappos.com

eap, I'm right there with you! Last year was my first year and I planned out all of my outfits and was so happy. No fumbling around in a hot tent trying to figure out if this top goes with that skirt. And I know, it doesn't matter, but it still does I've done the same thing this year and so I know that I really don't need to buy anything else. Although I'd really like a different tank to wear with one of my karizas....
And I'll also be showing off my pale and chubby arms in my sundresses. But after the first day, they won't be so pale. Even with SPF 45, you'll still get some color.

ugh ladies...I'm sorry that this has nothing to do with fashion...but I need to rant...
I might not be going to roo after all. There was only one person I knew for sure was going and he's saying he doesn't want to go if nobody else is going and he might sell his ticket. I guess one of our friends just decided he isn't going, so there's a few more who were thinking about it but my friend thinks they're just talk and thinks they won't end up going. Which they probably won't if he backs out. I'm so upset right now...we both bought tickets the minute they went on sale and we've been so excited and talking about it so much since then...and he said a few months ago that he didn't care if nobody else went, the two of us would go and we'd have so much fun. And now he's backing out and trying to say it isn't about me and that he's just not that excited this year...even though he was excited until recently so I know it has to be about me and certain things that have transpired between the two of us....he doesn't want to go if it's just the two of us and he won't even admit that that's the problem even though I'm sure it must be. And now I'm stuck because nobody else is going for sure and I don't think I want to go by myself and I'm so mad that I'm going to end up not getting to go because of this....I don't think he has any idea how much it means to me and how much of my life it takes up!
Phew. Okay. Again, I'm sorry for ranting because it's off topic and I'm so upset right now that it's probably not even coherent, but I had to rant about this to bonnaroo people who know what it means to me.

pepper, you should still go even if your friend doesn't! Why not camp out at Camp Inforoo? Don't let your friends decision affect your trip... if he decides not to go, then do your own thing and make the trip yourself. You'll meet new people, make friends, have the time of your life, and on your own! If you do that, there's nothing that can ever stop you from having the time of your life. I'm sure everyone who's camping out at Camp Inforoo would love for you to join them.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
plasticpepper, I totally agree: you should come to Roo anyway!!!! Stupid boys ruin all sorts of plans. You wouldn't be alone I'd bet. You "know" all of us girls from this thread, as well as other Inforooers, if that's any comfort.
You would also be welcome to camp with my two friends and I (all girls). We have a tent, canopy, coolers, all that stuff.... you'd just need to bring your personal things and a sleeping bag. We're pretty cool girls, if I do say so myself
Just something to think about!! But don't let no friends going get you down... you have Inforoo friends!!!

camp inforooo plastic! ive met some of my best friends via inforoo and i really think you will have the same experience as so many of us have had go for it!!

Pepper I think you should still come, don't let another person ruin it for you.....Obviously you have to do what is best for you, but don't be afraid you'll be by yourself the whole time cause you won't...on top of all of us, who would gladly let you crash at our camps I am sure, you will meet all kinds of people, I usually end up by my self and I meet more people then than when I am in a group!
I know it's tough to think about doing it alone... how far of a drive is it? Maybe you could even talk to some of the inforoosters who are coming in by plane or bus and arrange to meet them so you aren't alone in that long wait into roo....or carpool from your area......
Just throwin ideas out there so you know you have options!! Hope it works out pepper!!
