Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
My boss knows about it but if my job were more serious/substantial I'd maybe refer to it as something else. I've been going so many years that it's become kind of a tradition and not looked at as a "party vacation" or anything.
I don't know, I have a real job, I just work with intelligent people. I say "I'm going to Bonnaroo" and they say "that's awesome, have a good time". I couldn't work with people who had such a limited view of the world that they saw 'Roo as nothing more than drinking / stupid college kids.
That element is there in pretty much everything, the local movie theater has kids slipping booze into their soda, doesn't mean I'm an alcoholic if I go see Lord of the Rings. Just an issue of the people you work with being intelligent / educated / worldly.

I just started my new job two months ago, and they okayed my June vacation as pre-planned prior to my hire. Nobody has really asked where I'm going yet, but I might go with family camping trip if it comes up. Shrug. This place is pretty professional. They didn't druq test on my arrival, but I've been clean for quite a while anyway. Though I can't say I'll stay that way for a weekend in June.
For all the talk of druq testing being a part of the work place, I have never had it done. Ever. Maybe I'm not working at the right places.
Do people assume you're a drugged out hippie if you say you're going to a music festival? I've always told my bosses about Roo; it never really occurred to me that there might be a reason not to.
My bosses know where I go. My immediate supervisor thinks it's funny to always give me a wink and nod whenever it comes up like he knows what I am "really" up to at Bonnaroo.

I found that with the older generation, they just relate all things musical gathering to Woodstock. When they have in their minds that you are going to Woodstock now, they either A) Relate it back to their past experience and say be safe and have fun without asking to many questions or B) Ask a bunch of questions, but dont listen to the answer as they instantly label me a pothead going to do a bunch of drugs. Well ive been a pothead since 8 years before I smoked pot by pure coincidence, so anything I can do to throw off the scent will work well in my favor with management.
Is it because they feel unnatural? I just had an extraction and got a bridge. It feels weird and I can't leave it the hell alone. It's just a temporary though, so I'm hoping that when I get the permanent one, I'll be able to get used to it.
Implants, if properly done, feel like your natural teeth. They graft a metal "root" to your jaw bone, then attach a ceramic tooth to it. Personally, that's the route I'd recommend going, all this other crap like crowns / root canals / bridges / whatever... is just a path to a bunch of pain. As long as your jaw bone is a good candidate for the graft, it's fantastic.
Yeah, I would have gone that route, too, except implants also cost an extra $1000 and I have shitty dental insurance that is already maxed out this year, so I'm paying out of pocket. And as I don't happen to have an extra $1000 laying around, it's a bridge for me.

Yes, the world is full of stereotypes, but it is pretty much a bunch of drinking / stupid college kids music-loving adults who might occasionally indulge. It's our version of "fun". I'm sure there are some who think going to church every Sunday is "fun". Best not to advertise, either way.
Probably shouldn't let my kids go the movies anymore.

Right, but this is America, so is literally every other event / tourist destination / thing we do.
Baseball game? Cruise? Beach trip? Football game? Disney vacation? Wedding? Grandma's funeral?
Show me an event that doesn't have a bar within easy reach. It's just silly to judge Bonnaroo in that light. I think the people who are truly a problem in the workplace are not the people who are going to festivals / having a life. In my experience, the people who are the actual "addicts" aren't going to be living life in that way.

I second that, Bro...
***and for those who were paying attention...YES...I caved to the gif craze

My boss is actually really cool with it. I think she used to be a hippie. I don't really tell the people I work "for" where I am going though
I don't quite get the concept of "used to be a hippie". If one is really a hippie then the outer trappings may change but the inner hippie is always there

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
It annoys me that bosses ask where you are going on vacation in the first place.
Its none of your beeswax!!! If I have the days, let me use them and leave me alone.
My bosses are not content with just knowing where I am going. They make a point to schedule a MANDATORY meeting. This year it is an 8 hour diabetes certificate class. Tuesday before roo. I have to go.

After that class, you can destress with us at Five Points
