Nobody has addressed what happened to his $250. Has he spent it while waiting or does he still have it, and if he does why cant he buy his own ticket.
PS- I am so broke it is absolutly scary. My tags just expired and I am trying to scrape together the funds because that is the vehicle that we are taking to roo. I'll take some good will.

the only people who have to put down the 250 deposit are the volunteers and workers who are only working just prior to, and during the festival.
all of these folks (and there are quite a few) who have been here for the past 5 weeks setting up DO NOT have to put down the deposit. They are being paid weekly and have site access passes already.
This cat's living life the way he wants to, you gotta love that. I don't know exactly where the line between "free-spirited" and "irresponsible" is, but I gotta think that Kramer is a little of column A and a little of column B. I never really had the opportunity in my short life to be "free-spirited" like this, too many people depended on me, so I gotta admit that I'm a bit jealous. But I think it's awesome what everyone is doing for the guy, and I'm glad he's coming up clean from such a nasty situation.

Some days the world seems rotten ... read the news and find out about murders and kidnappings, war and hate, and violence against others/the earth/animals every single day. Some days I wonder why I don't just hit eonline instead of ap and reuters and NYT and other sites.
But since my first Roo, I've felt that humanity at its best can be found at this festival and, since its inception, on this discussion board. And this string exemplifies the Roo spirit that I see -- generosity, freedom of speech, tolerance for different viewpoints, and hope. Thanks for reminding me -- again -- what a special event this is, because of the special people who are part of it.

thanks for keeping everyone updated on this dmb. this is the post that made me finally register on inforoo, like many others. it really does restore some of my faith in humanity these days.
I have spent the better part of my morning reading the saga that is Camp Kramer. This will be my first Bonnaroo and I cannot be more excited to go. Reading about how kind everyone has been to Kramer has made my day. Even though there were bumps in the road, but it looks as though good has prevailed over evil as it should I can't wait to get to Manchester and see camp Kramer, the homemade t-shirts, and decals. Speaking of the decals, are they going to be made available?
I will say it again, PLEASE DO NOT SPORT YOUR DERAGATORY JIM TOBIN SHIRTS< PLEASE!!!!
I think WE should be the positive party in the whole situation. If we do that (wear the shirts), we will have sunk to his level!
A bit of an update, not really, just a picture, but here is Camp Kramer as it sits today. I think this is the "permanent" Cmap Kramer, at least until the festival starts. I think they are talking about moving into tent only!
Nevertheless, here it is:
Now, go back to page one and look at the original Camp Kramer, yes Manchester has been good to these boys, but you know what, these boys have been good for Manchester as well!
I am still anticiapting getting his ticket this weekend, when I do, there will be pics.
Also, I guess I can let the cat out of the bag. I have been hush hush about where the ticket is coming from, but, with his permission, I will now tell you guys.
the ticket is coming from our very own Teine! He was generous enough to offer the ticket to the Kramer fund at a $50 discount.
Folks, that's a $50.00 donation right there!!!!!! (Go Teine!!!)
I have been on this board for months and somehow I missed this thread. Great story all around. I wished I lived closer than 3 hours away so I could have the chance to come hang with these guys. This really does sum up the Bonnaroo spirit. This story (the good parts) really needs to be mentioned in the Bonnaroo newspaper they do (The Beacon, if my memory is right). I wouldn't know how to make that happen, but, you guys seem to have a way with things. Make it happen!
At rick of quickly losing karma, i agree with Jauggernaut.
Roo is a fun weekend. an escape from reality. it's something you should earn.
reality, for most people, is that you need to work and make money. if you don't, then you must rely on others to get by.
im sorry to all you folks in college, but "free-spirit" is just a hippie word for bum.
if this same guy was just another homeless dude, and had no interest in bonnaroo, you certainly wouldnt be writing about him on the net and, frankly, probably wouldn't even notice him at all.

I'm sorry, but this kind of makes me mad... how do you know we wouldn't care? DMB stated at the beginning of this that he and his wife are just giving people in general.. I can guarantee that if Kramer was just a homeless guy in Manchester, and had nothing to do with Roo, DMB would have helped him out anyway... maybe you don't care about the needy and homeless, but speak for yourself, dude.
some might agree if he were to make a habit of expecting this kind of charity for the rest of his life---however, it was a purely selfish act on my part to help him out--seems like i remember being in his shoes once or twice in my life, and benefitted from the kindness of other---im pretty sure it changed me for the better---now that im in the position to help someone,well, it just makes me feel so goddamn good about myself and others--- i don't mean to be selfish but sometimes you just gotta do things that make you feel good---peace
