Hey been reading since i found out that i had to go to bonnaroo, I'm scared to go, so i started reading the boards trying to prepare for the worst experience of my life. After learning about what to bring and what shoes to wear I feel a little more prepared and almost excited! Thanks for everything ladies. P.S. I went to target without even thinking about bonnaroo and bought a cute one, maybe I'll see ya there!
dont be scared... lose your ego upon entering the grounds and you'll have the time of your life.
Abandon every attempt, just be; don't strive, don't struggle, let go every support, hold on to the blind sense of being, brushing off all else. This is enough.
So I had to return one of my target dresses due to all the weight loss. I have to say though, I think I like the ones I bought in place of it better.
I LOVE this one, though it looks pretty blah on the Target model. The colors/pattern are way more fun in person.
And I bought this one cause I couldn't pass up the sale. It's adorable and retro and perfect should I get the urge to go "Grace Kelly" one night. Not a roo dress though, for obvious reasons.
Hey girls (and guys) - Love the pic of that rainy day at Roo. When I was there I wore heavy duty hi-top hiking boots and cut off shorts, T-shirt...if the rain gets cold it's nice to have a camp shirt like REI, Columbia, etc. I'm not into tech clothing but some of it does the trick. I'm bringing the nylon pants with zip off legs 'cause it looks like rain and function rules-when you get cold, rainy, or dirty you just want to deal with it easy... Here's my 2-cents worth; I've been doin' the hippie music thing for a long time and the dresses and short skirts are the bomb! Wear bike shorts underneath and you're set. I'm flat chested so a skinny tank is enough with loads of sunscreen. There are really cool clothes for sale at pretty reasonable prices. I usually buy something that I didn't remember to bring: a tie dye sweatshirt if it's chilly or a new hippie skirt. The thing about Roo is that you can really let loose! This is THE chance to be as outrageous as you can be (it is kinda hot for some stuff like boas; and I've decided that body paint would probably do me in without a good shower real handy!) So go for it! At the dollar and discount store you can get cheap glitter, glow sticks, hats, scarves and hair extensions...I have multi color hair extensions and bandannas, glitter and plenty of tie dye...Crocs are great for most people; I do Birks myself. Flip-flops are not enough for all the walking you'll do. It's really dirty and hot at Roo so don't even think about what you look like other than "free and creative". Keep the handy wipes handy and bring a bucket for outside your tent or to take to the showers for a good foot bath-aaaagh! And trust me: you'll probably wear the same shorts all weekend-don't sweat it! It's all about the music and community - save the makeup, outfits and what you think you should wear for the office- it's such a short time to be there and a long time to be gone!!!! Peace all!!

Well girls...I've officially given up. I just put my ticket up for sale. I haven't been around Inforoo much in the past few days and I still can't really bring myself to read through the stuff I missed, but I'm really bummed now that there's officially no chance so I thought I'd pop in here to at least tell you girls the sad news. You had all BETTER rock out extra hard for me and wear the hell out of all those cute clothes and have all sorts of fun at the brunch and take tons of pictures and...damn, now I'm crying. Oh well.
Honestly I don't know how much I'll be around in the next few days, but I'll be sure to at least pop in a few times.
thanks, I was sorta excited, thinking I'm gonna let loose because I'll be surrounded by nice strangers. Then I found out that like a bunch of people I know are going, now I'm afraid I'll be self consciencous.
i need help..i have a big head and want a floppy straw hats..any suggestions on how to stretch them? they have super cute ones at target but they dont fit
I'm sorry that you won't be there PlasticPepper, I was really looking forward to meeting you! Maybe next year....and I hope you won't let anything get in your way then!

Pepper I hate to hear that! I'm so sorry things didn't work out. Your presence is definitely going to be missed when all the inforoo girls meet up.....Next year doll...next year.
It's ok handgun, I don't have a target dress either....all of them looked god awful on me.... So no worries, you will not be the only inforoo lady without one....
But I will be wearing a dress to the brunch on friday...one I made!
I don't have one either. I wanted to buy a cute blue one I posted a while back but I think I have run out of $$ to get it! Plus thye didn't have my size. I may go take one last look if I have any money .eft after I go get the food and beer.
If anyone would like to exchange cell phone numbers to help each other find the brunch on Friday send me a message. I signed up for Twitter to make it easier but it wont let me send SMS messages.

my inner self is making me go...can my inner self make plastic pepper go? hey soul mate are you going to the brunch on friday and did you make a quilt this year? i thinkyou are the one who makes the fab quilts
I'll be at the brunch. Pepper, sorry you aren't going to make it this year...but there's still time to change your mind! And istovi, I think you can spritz the hat with water (lightly!) and then stuff it with newspaper until it dries. It may change the color a bit, but since it's under the brim it probably won't matter. Good luck!
So I found a Members Only jacket at the local thrift store and I'm kind of excited.
I also refound my hippie dress from the Newport Folk Festival a few years back and, thanks to the tonsillectomy diet, it still fits. Woohoo.
I'm getting excited.
I also found a Memebers Only jacket at a thrift store! - It was several years ago, but I've still got it. It's a kids jacket I think, fits great though! I think I'll be bringing mine too
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...
It was a jacket that was very common in the 80's and then we laughed at people who still wore them in the 90's and now they are very hipster-vintage-cool
