Yeah, this whole thing bothers the f*ck out of me. For what it's worth, I just sent Bonnaroo a long, detailed email describing the whole situation, with links to these threads and the Rape Bus's website. I'm honestly hoping someone takes a look into it, because it just seems like a recipe for disaster.
Edit: got a quick response from Bonnaroo:
Thanks for reaching out. We appreciate your concern for your fellow campers and your bringing this to our attention. We've forwarded your email on to the appropriate department heads to look at.
Hear you Juggs. However my thoughts at this point have no bearing on the organizer, profit etc etc. Focused on the large number of first time Roo'ers traveling together with what appears to be limited packing space. Just want them all to arrive on the farm safely, hydrated, and with equipment for shade. More than a tad concerned about the excitement of whats to come getting to this group on the way down and they arrive unprepared. I hope a few have linked into IRoo and have read the threads on what to bring! Hope for everyones sake this turns into a positive experience and after the fact we can get some I told you so's...
When we were leaving Monday morning I saw lots of people lined up and three buses pulling up. Doubt it was the NYC Bus & Co because there were about 80 people waiting to get on the buses... but it was the first time I thought of them all weekend. Hope they were all ok.
I looked at that carina girl's twitter and it looks like the bus trip succeeded. How well, I dunno
I wouldn't trust her, though - she was a complete shill for the bus guy. She had like 45 posts on here and half of them were her talking about how awesome the bus was going to be.

If people responded to you originally....then I guess ask them. If you didn't get a response from some of them.....then I think contacting them would just be bothering them at this point.

I think you mean 'shoe', because he walked all over her.
Seriously though, I just want to know how the 100% free rape bus went.
LOL while I was banned from the forum, I had the opportunity to just watch and read the nonsense... You folks are amazing! First, the fact that you (Karen) went out of your way to harass some of the riders who were most definitely creeped out by you and certainly resulted in me having to take down the attendee roster, amazes me! You have no shame!!!
Second, the trip went perfectly, actually it went better than perfect and the kind folks over at Bonnaroo whose names I will keep anonymous allowed the bus to drop everyone off at Tent Only/right in front of centeroo.... Which was according to Superfly the first time in Bonnaroo history that someone (me) pulled that off.... On the return we were afforded the same gracious hospitality and the bus was yet again allowed to pick everyone up from the drop off location. EVERYONE got home safely.
The "newbs" including myself couldnt be happier and we all got to camp right outside of centeroo which to me was prime real estate... People were able to bring whatever they pleased on the bus including coolers, ez-ups, and the survey on the bus and via surveymonkey confirms the fact that everyone was estatic and would ride the bus again.
Karen, you directed them to Inforoo, right? Surely someone joined the board during that time.
These people are normal everyday people, many of which are in college, do you really think they give a shiz about hopping on inforoo to talk to you creeps? Seriously?
Itrainmonkeys or anyone from the area, what do you make of the meet up place in Clinton Hill?
I use to live in Brooklyn and had a temp job a couple blocks away from his meet up point. I feel that it's all about his grocery store being right next to the Park and Ride. I mean Clinton Hill isn't the easiest area to access from the MTA or for people driving into NYC in general. The whole thing was just so self centered.
SFA - Not from the area however agree with this. The grocery store located at the pick up point and plugged in the announcement also appears to be this companies earliest contract/client.
I need to walk away from this thread. Had trouble falling a sleep last night. The Q/A suggests the attendees can drink on the bus all the way to TN. (Is everyone at least of legal age.) If this happens they could be dehydrated before they even get to the farm. Hope the Roo gods keep an eye on this group and favor them.
BTW, I am a partner at that grocery store, which everyone was made aware of multiple times... I picked this location because it was safe to hop on and off the bus under the BQE, grab beer, and let me work out of that office till it was time to go... Now I know there are a whole handful of creeps in this thread, so for the record I dont work out of that office so dont come looking for me....

what idiot puts personal information out there in a puclic forum like you did. Harassment is different than informing a group that there leader is not who he says he is and 2 weeks before the "big trip" he did not even know how to get to Bonnaroo.

So you are saying that you got to drive the bus into the campgrounds right up to tent only. They just let your bus drive right in. Then superfly personally told you this was the first time this has ever happened? *cough*Bull-shiz*couch*

You folks are truly a piece of work....
Till next year,

I would like to hear form some of your pleased passengers and not the girl you use to promote this when you first started it. People on here would have been supportive of you, if you would have not been such a pompous ass, people were trying to give you advice and your attitude was shiz, you story had holes and you could not fill those holes in and it still does. Good luck with your next adventure.
Karen, you directed them to Inforoo, right? Surely someone joined the board during that time.
These people are normal everyday people, many of which are in college, do you really think they give a Leno about hopping on inforoo to talk to you creeps? Seriously?
I was looking for confirmation on my directions + tips beyond what I had found you dumb @$$
They let the bus drive in... And one of their executives hopped on the bus to welcome us and said that we were the first yes....
What holes are you talking about dude? The only hole I see is you... an a-s-s-h-o-l-e, I am likely one of the most selfless people you will never end up meeting and had you not harassed people via fb and made up creepy sh!t I would ask some of them to hop on, or invite you to our private facebook group but you are way to f'ing creepy man

You are on here.
Im a bit older (24) and on the computer allll day... the youngin's just wanna have fun not put up with a creepy old man like you dude... Not to mention that I basically put myself up on the block when I put together the bus and needed to get pertinent information which this board is really great for till creeps like yourself and a few others start up...
I did. I got to almost all of them. There were a few that didn't plaster their entire lives over a social network.
I'll at least check out some twitters when I get home.
Josh's twitter is just one giant fist bump to himself and he hasn't said anything about it yet so who knows.
No worries Karen, I made the latest tweet about you creeps rather than about me... Its my f'ing twitter what else is it supposed to talk about???
Whats your twitter handle? Ill give you a personal shout out....
FYI, after attending roo it affirmed my belief that you need to be a pretty terrible parent to bring your kids to roo... I love how you worried about a bus load of 19-30 year olds, all of which can wipe their own @$$, instead of stopping and thinking it is a terrible idea to bring your kids to bonnaroo.... Every time I saw an infant, toddler or child I was reminded of you and your plans to bring your kids, and without me saying anything someone else would say "who the F brings their kids to bonnaroo, someone should call child services on her/him/them"
Any roo veterans that can provide detailed/optimized driving directions from NYC to Bonnaroo? Would be much appreciated! Glad I found this board!
Looks to me you are trying to find out how to get to Bonnaroo from NYC. Creepy old man? Creeps like us keep people safe from dirt bags like your self. You make yourself to be this nice guy with no agenda, but you did this for a profit, you did! and the nice guy does not come on here and start calling people ass-holes and such. By the way, what is creepy, is someone faking or trying to be someone they are not. After all the sh!t people gave you are you really glad you found this board? Holes? You did not even know who AC was. Every time a logistics question came up you differed it to, ' Waiting on Bonnaroo to respond'. You are apiece of work. Good luck next year filling your seats. We will be watching you.
Plenty of people who'd help me kick your ass off the bus no worries.
