You guys, I'm actually packing right now! This is so stressful trying to figure out what to bring (I'm packing for a month in FL and Bonnaroo) I really hope I bring everything I'll need!!

You will! Just don't stress. :] We all forget stuff sometimes, but at Roo-- we'll all be there to lend ya anything you need.

Big Sale!!!! Ladies, I just got back from Victoria Secret and there Pink undies are on sale 10 for $25! Go. Get new underwear! Step away from the computer and go! Now!
A fountain picture would be awesome! Especially if we all climb in and get soaked. Man, I am going to be SO depressed if I don't get to go. I must find some way to talk my friend into it. And/or bribe him.
Edit: Oh, and if you guys wanted to do it Friday morning that would be right after the brunch anyway, so it should be really easy to organize. When people are getting ready to leave the brunch, we can just all head to the fountain together...whoever wants to be in the picture(s). We can bring as many Inforoosters as we can get, because a group picture of EVERYBODY in front of the fountain would be AAAMAZING. And then we can have one of the guys take a picture of all us beautiful target dress chicas!
Good idea, pepper! And for those not at the Inforoo brunch but still want to be in the TDP (Target Dress Pic), I hope it won't be too hard to find all of us, standing around in the target dresses!! We could also possibly call out "corncat" or something similar so we could recognize each other
ps. I still have my fingers crossed that you'll be there!
Fountain in Centeroo, post brunch, definitely works best for me. I'll be in VIP, as I was last year (I'm old! I break easily!), so it's hella easier for me to find a landmark in Centeroo than anywhere else. And we'll all be nearer the action when the concerts start at noon. Sounds excellent!

Woo! I posted a bit about our plan in the thread about the brunch in case there's anyone who isn't reading this thread who would like to join us for Target Dress Day. I'm still hoping we can get a lot of the Inforoosters to come with us to the fountain, it would be such a great picture and a great keepsake to have!

So I just finished making my daughter and I reversible purses. I made mine for Bonnaroo. The purse was made for use on the subway. It has two straps one smaller than the other. The bigger of slides through the smaller one and almost forms like a lock on the purse. I thought it was a cool idea. This is the first time i've sewn since high school and know I definately have room for improvement but I thought I'd post some pics.
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...
The fountain meeting sounds awesome. I can't wait. I'll definitely walk over after brunch...if I make it. I'm still scraed I won't be able to find the Inforoo tent.
So I liked the magenta/purply Target dress so much, I also got it in navy!
The magenta/purple one had super-crazy straps so I cut them off in front and resewed by hand where they should be. The navy one, I just pulled the straps out a bit and stitched on the edge so they seemed more straight.
FYI ladies if you pan on washing before you go, do know that the smocked straps will bunch all up and shrink a bit, as will the bodice. Nothing horrible, but it does fit a bit differently now.
I figure Thursday I'll wear shorts and a top (did last year), Friday and Saturday will be the Target dresses, Sunday will be the brown printed Old Navy dress I sported last year, Monday will be whatever left that is clean and comfortable for the ride home!
I am taking a hoodie, a hooded v-neck sweatshirt, a pair of cotton drawstring pants, lightweight cotton cargo pants, and a tee or two and then the dresses. Should be good to go! ;D
I didn't want to post about this until I was sure it was legit, but it is because I just received a huge box of make-up that only cost $41.00.
Some of you may have heard about e.l.f. (www.eyeslipsface.com) is selling all of their products really cheap because they are relabeling and need to clear their warehouses. Pretty much all items are $1.00, unless you get kits. I think the most expensive thing I bought was the $20 mineral make-up kit (like Bare Minerals), but everything else I got was $1.00. They also have a great assortment of brushes and eyeshadows. Oh, lip glosses galore, plus tweezers and other basics.
It took about two to three weeks to receive the items because they are very swamped with orders, but they kept me in the loop with emails updating me on their progress with my order. Enjoy!

Sorry to be argumentative or whatever but...that's not true. Everything at e.l.f. is always $1, and they're not relabeling or being bought out by Nordstrom or whatever else you're heard. It's still a good deal, definitely, but it's always that way.
Also I think this is the third time it's been posted in here ;D

2 questions.
1) has anyone used the "helena" camelbak? I'm thinking of getting it because last year I carried my backpack and I figure if I'm going to carry something around on my back it might as well have cold water in it. My question is how heavy does it get/ does it hold a lot of stuff?
2) I had the perfect cotton bermuda shorts last year (they were kind of gym/ pajama type ones from old navy) for the chaffing issue but, my dog ate them... seriously... haha and I cant seem to find anything that would be right (cool enough and good for under dresses or alone). Any suggestions?

Sorry.
FYI, for those who are interested, e.l.f won the 2006 PETA award for not testing on animals.

I think I got mine at Ross (I actually typed "Roo" instead of "Ross" first) or TJ Maxx. If you have an NBC near you, they usually have a nice selection.

Not cheap, but I adore them. They're on the long side so if your skirts are all mid-thigh, they're not going to work. And the cut is generous - I went a size smaller than I am in normal pants.
I wore them one day under a skirt and have also been wearing them as pajamas and they don't ride up at all and are sooooo comfortable. Big fan!
Being a girl, I tend to want to pack as many pairs of shoes as will fit in my bag anytime I travel. But I know I need to limit myself on what I bring to Roo. So, how many pairs of shoes are you ladies planning on bringing?
I'm thinking 4 should do it: crocs, rainboots, sneakers, and a pair of flip-flops/sandals to wear around camp. What do you all think???
I'm probably bringing three pairs: flip flops; Crocs; and hiking boots or rain boots. That way, I figure I'm set for camp/shower, hot/rainy and cold/rainy.

I'll be bringing my Merrill sandals (super comfy), flip flops, sneakers (I don't know what my volunteer job will require so best to have a closed toe shoe just in case) and at least one pair of boots.

Bike Shorts: Fortis told me about these last year from Kmart. Theyawere a godsend - short enough for shorter dresses, not skintight so they didn't hurt/irritate, cotton crotch and solid black so not goofy looking. Oh, and only $9.99: tinyurl.com/5js6o6
Shoes: Last year I took Crocs, sneakers and Reef flops. I only wore the Reefs around camp and on the trip there, and the Crocs to Centeroo. This year in place of my sneakers I am taking calf-height waterproof leather boots (sort of like Frye Harness boots) because they are like slippers, can handle a bit of mud and are warm. May not wear them, but they are like my best friend so are going on the journey with me!
