I think this year's lineup is AWESOME! ***I'm very proud to see EMINEM get top billing*** Traveling solo and looking forward to soaking up the sun, music, fresh air and happy people! ***Can't wait to meet you!***

I actually don't know of anyone on here that actually bought a ticket. There was this one girl that was pimping the bus. But she has since vanished and the kid that was putting the whole thing together was banned.
Geesh . . . thanks. Just asking/keeping my options open!!
As a fellow Nutmegger, I feel duty compelled to link you to the lengthy thread discussing the NYC bus. Please note not only the completely arrogant summers breeze in a sacgery of the weeniehole organizing it, but also his lack of any sort of details and/or facts.
The thread is a good read. Please don't take the bus. Depending on where you are in CT, I'd advise you to fly in to Nashville, and either a) use the Bonnaroo bus, or b) link up with some cool folks on here coming from/through Nashville. Tickets from CT to Nashville are like 300 bucks round trip - and there's a flight that leaves CT at 7:05 a.m. Thursday and arrives in Nashville at 8:35 a.m. It's the best way to go.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing this as well, but this site has helped me to decide against it.. the guy didn't really seem like he knew what he was getting himself into and all of the people that bought tickets all seemed like they were first timers. Didn't want to risk it. If you can't find a ride from someone else using these boards or other sites, I'd suggest doing Greyhound.

I'd like to thank TutuRoo for giving me a reason to go read through that old thread again. I think my favorite parts are when SuperFurryAnimal posted the pictures of the exploding bus with the caption "100% RAPE FREE" and when the bus organizer threatened to use his supreme hacker skillz to DDOS Inforoo.
Why don't we have a forum dedicated to the most awesome/hilarious locked threads?
Please note that pretty much everybody who has signed up for the bus has never been to Bonnaroo before. They have no idea what to expect.
Also, holy hell:
"jniamehr, 09.04.2011 We ask that everyone be as compact as possible. The caboose of the bus is fairly large and should fit about two suitcases per person."
Ummm...so basically you can bring your clothes and a tent. It's a group of 35+ people going to Bonnaroo who have no experience doing so and don't have the space to bring all the necessary equipment.

Also ask him if all the Bonnaroo virgins that are going on his bus are aware that going down and only being able to take "2 suitcases" worth of stuff each means that they can't possibly all bring tents, sleeping materials, clothing, coolers/food, shade tents, and other essentials, and that basically they're going down underprepared and ripe for a sh*tty time.

I went to their "message board" thingy, and he said that the bus isn't going to be sold out, therefore, they are using the back few rows on the bus for extra storage. But it's still crap... I mean, there are two of us, and we will have our 4-door car loaded down.

Exactly. I think back to my first year, and I didn't realize at all how the conditions were going to be. I basically had a tent, sleeping bag, and cooler full of food/water/beer....and I wound up more or less sleeping in Centeroo because it was too damn hot in the campgrounds without shade. I can't imagine not going without a shade tent now, or other amenities...I just have a feeling this is going to turn out poorly.

So it's the same response as a month ago.
Holy fucking shiz. Is there some way we can warn all his current attendees? I feel like he's leading a bunch of 19-year-old kids into a goddang deathtrap.

Oh wow, seriously? The rape bus leaves three weeks from today, and he STILL doesn't have a solid answer?
I feel like we need to contact these poor kids and offer them refuge at Camp Inforoo or something.
I agree, the bus sounds like Leno. But still, I did my first bonnaroo out of two suitcases and a backpack when I flew in. Put the tent and shade tent (not ezup) in one and stick in any extra things you can, then put food and gear in the other. Clothes in the backpack. For water we just had a collapsable 5 gallon water holder and filled it in the campgrounds water station.
Also, last year I took the Greyhound and had to walk with all my gear. It was terrible, but I'm sure his drop off point will be around the same distance, so it's on the level of Greyhound basically.
Holy fucking Leno. Is there some way we can warn all his current attendees? I feel like he's leading a bunch of 19-year-old kids into a goddang deathtrap.
Maybe. On the website that the event is posted I had to sign up to ask a question. I'm assuming everyone else did as well. I can see if I can get ahold of the other people that have bought tickets and send them a link to the original thread.
Maybe JN is also planning on selling EZ ups outside of Centeroo after his flock of Noobs has been there a day? Oh Bad Dobby!!
I really hope this goes down better than what our guts are saying will happen. It would be terrible for so many new Roo-ers to have a collectively crappy Roo.
A few folks left their facebook pages when they RSVP'd. And imagine that, they are all female.
I'm telling you, it was no coincidence that this guy was only posting about the bus in threads like "2 21 year old girls need ride" or "super hot flexible high school girl looking for a ride." I don't think he's a rapist (well, at least I seriously fucking hope not), but it certainly seems like he's trying to place the odds in his favor for a little whistle-whetting on the Death Bus.
And honestly, that's a good way to do it. Organize a bus trip with like 40 girls and 5 guys? To a place where you're going to be partying non-stop? Fish in a barrel.

True. And don't forget the DJs they'll have spinning on the bus to help promote the Death bus mood! And the fact that you can drink your alcohol on the bus!

Was thinking the same thing JHO. However it does not apply just to this bus load, though their odds of this not going well seem considerably higher. Sounds like a lot of first timers this year.
My concern about this group.. vastly Noobs. Most likely not InfoRooers. If they are reading inforoo and still signed up for this high risk trip given that this is not an established business with experience at Rooing (sorry about the run on.. reading too much Lono lately) then perhaps one could reasonably question their judgement skills. Combined with the lack of knowledge that IRoo'ers share on how to survive roo (ie what to bring). Sounds like a dangerous recipe.
I have visions of a flock of young girls walking around with 2 suitcases of clothes and curling irons looking for the electrical outlets.
If any of the experienced Roo'ers see ^^^ please lend a hand if you can and bring the Noobs into the flock.
Just asking/keeping my options open!!
