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!!
It's one of those momments where you cut a toxic sig. other out of your life but still chill with their cool-ass sibling and are thankful in a way because if you never met the asshole ex you wouldn't have met their kickass family
So that is the explanation I should tell myself about my ex joining facebook and adding all my siblings AFTER we broke up?
Was not aware it was Roo week until going through this thread. Will probably catch some streams on Friday - assuming the streams are still a thing.
Twitter announced they are carrying it as Red Bull is only doing ACL and Lolla. Announcement tweet shows Muse, Lany and alt-j as some of the performers they'll have on.
My intrest in Bonnaroo (or any of the bigger festivals, really) is null these days. I’ll still be out seeing bands and drinking waaaay too much but I won’t be in 100° heat. I’ll be in air conditioning and real plumbing. I’ll also be on a boat, too.
Fuck a festival stream. Close the computer and go see a band you haven’t seen yet. They’re happy you’re there and you’ll feel a lot better for not sitting around.

Random shout out that you found a subtle way to show your Ariana Grande fandom on here.

ooooo.. devastating.
I feel you. The family, and the better folks/friends of my ex still follow me on social media platforms, and I always feel weird about it. I had to delete a mom (she's not tech savvy enough to be on IG, etc. just FB) because I thought that was the smart thing to do. But ya....

Bigger shouts will come when you figure out who the guy is. <3

To each their own. Like you, I've been to hundreds or thousands of sets over the years. But I have no problem with watching some music on television if I'm home anyway. It's not like I'm going to be watching television shows very often, so if there's a cool set or live act on, that's preferential.
I don't bother streaming, but I feel like it's important to note that some places (esp. with Ticketmaster, LiveNation, Bowery connection, etc.) it's tough to go to good shows at a reasonable rate in a lot of cities. Also for some of us, we live in areas without good enjoyable outdoor festivals, and there IS a vibe about that kind of social interaction that can be both irritating and cathartic. There's no absolute good or bad when it comes to outdoor festivals, but the ability to enjoy the bake in the sun is a bit of the fun for some of us crazy people. Also to be fair to bonnaroo and their one step forward, two steps back platform is that there basically is plumbing everywhere now. The advancements in porta technologies!!! We in da future
edit: OH and I will double down on that quickly -- I love camping vs. being in a hotel or being forced to be incredibly aware of my out situation for transportation for say a festival like Panorama. Even with public transpo, you need to think through every detail -- it's harder to play life by ear: i.e. you need to make sure you aren't wasted trying to travel an hour home (let alone if you are at a festival you drive to); did I get enough food and water before I got out? Will this affect my work plans because you have a tendency not to block out the whole weekend like a big fest. Will there be anything available at the end of the shows or will all the vendors shut down during the last act? Restrictive rules about what you can even bother bringing, and staffs that often are inexperienced. - It makes me enjoy the situation so much less. And I'm not going to Mountain Jam, or a Phish fest so.. there ya go.

Not a jab at people that watch streams, I promise. I used to every chance I got. It’s a good way to keep people excited that can’t be there.
I just refuse to plan my whole weekend around it anymore. Living life is greater than watching life, imo. I don’t watch a lot of tv either.

Those shows and drinking waaaay to much is literally in your city. Some as cheap as $8 (and I know free ones with pizza and beer).
Oh for sure. I didn't take it that way, I just disagreed. I'm not likely to sit at home for 36 hours on a weekend in front of streams, but if there is something I want to see (or some stuff to browse through), I'll plan around that. Real life comes first though of course.

Definitely a weird spot now. You wonder if you're still supposed to be looking at this stuff, but you also don't want to look like a dick for just wholesale deleting everyone. Damn digital age etiquette.

I deleted all mentions, photos of him right after it happened. The ones that come up in memories or on this day, I delete when I see them but it was almost 5 years ago now, so there is very little left of him in my online presences.
Oh, and I blocked him and his then girlfriend, now wife, as soon as he joined and I heard he was dating someone. I noticed the siblings and friends he added when I went to block both of them. I told all siblings/friends, that I don't want to know anything because fuck that dude. I wasted 13 years and he married the woman after me after dating her for 1-1/2 years. And honestly after he pulled that shit if my siblings still want to be friends with him, they can kiss my ass too.

The reality of why I'm not on Facebook right now, is that the memories thing was killing me - let alone that it's a place where people either only share the happy moments of their life, a bullshit work complaint, retread from twitter or national news, and there was a time where it was about cat pictures and meeting new people. At this point in life, that seems incredibly asinine and a waste of my energy. And it burns you even worse if you were one of the original facebook million, because they have memories back almost 10 years -- so all of a sudden I will see the ex-gf that I first went to Roo with.. and I'm like.. this is the person who stalked my account years afterwards just to berate me for not being happy enough and not listening to her advice, 6 years after breaking up with me. Saying I was talking shit about her, when I wasn't speaking about her at all. It's a breeding ground for misunderstanding and unintentional stalking. Also the worst things ever said to me have been through Facebook. People I loved as friends who couldn't give a fuck about me really, or never really wanted to know me deeply, I was the black token who had herb and always shared, and whether they want to admit or not (because we come from a mixed neighborhood). The second I brought up they hurt me, a few of them went full on on me and told me I was a terrible person and that they wish the worst for me. Which was right at the peak of my suicidal moments last year when I had to ask for financial help from my friends. To this day I don't go back home to Maplewood, because if I saw him I would want to punch him in the face, and I know who would go to prison for it.

The memories on Facebook are such bullshit for the reasons that you wrote. Posting the best memories or exaggerations or diarrhea mouth (too much info). I used to post a bunch, so I get a bunch of posts from 10-3ish years ago and then for the last 3-4ish little to no memories. It sucks but it is good at the same time for my sanity, and I have edited or deleted the ones that I don't feel are relevant or that have mentions of assholes. The great thing about the last 3-4 years not having a bunch of memories is it means living more in the now and less on the screen; You know the ones that protects people, and allows them to be bigger assholes than they are in real life.
EDIT: for the record. I have some bullshit at work I am dealing with and might be a bit more assholic than normal.

Those shows and drinking waaaay to much is literally in your city. Some as cheap as $8 (and I know free ones with pizza and beer).
1. Is $5 considered to be a standard delivery tip nowadays? If that's the case then I just need to completely stop ordering out. I tip $2 and never considered that to be out of the ordinary.
2. The sole reason I am still on Facebook is because of the people that I want to maintain connections with but have no other way to do so. I can't really stand Facebook much anymore.

God, I hope not. I’ve been tipping the drivers $4 for years thinking I was going above and beyond. Now I replaying every “THANKS FOR THE TIP” in my head, trying to detect sarcasm.
Shout out to people who rip and upload festival streams. The streams from major fests like Coachella and Primavera are generally very well produced and I love grabbing a bunch to watch at my convenience. It's so fun to turn one on when I have people over or when I don't have any shows to watch or something.
It's amusing how few of the long-termers on the board are actually attending the festival this year.
I was thinking this morning about how the boards used to come to a standstill when it was Bonnaroo weekend. Now, there will be a dip but nothing like it was.
I took a peek at the lineup thread. In the past a page would fill up in minutes. Now posts on a single page go back days. Though I'm glad that, even though Bonnaroo has totally jumped the shark, I still come to the board daily to interact with all of you.

I've shamed Inforoo.
Went to trivia night last night and we were leading the local goon squad that usual wins up until the final.
The final was to put these break-ups in order.
-Debbie Harry leaving Blondie. -Diana Ross leaving The Supremes. - John Lennon telling the others he was done with The Beatles (NOT when it was announced publicly). - Peter Gabriel leaving Genesis.
I switched Ross and Lennon and we lost by 8 points.

I'm curious to find out what NASA is going to say in their press conference tomorrow regarding Mars Rover Mission. I know it's been drilling, so maybe they found some type of outlier rock or possibly some type of fossil. I don't know.
Also in Space, New Horizon was awakened yesterday and sent new instructions regarding its anticipated New Year's Day 2019 fly-boy of Ultima Thule. That's a small (20/21 miles in diameter) world orbiting out there in the Kuiper Belt.
^^^NASA has found remnants of organic matter on Mars in soil samples from 3 billion year old mudstone in the Gale crater and has also detected methane in the Martian atmosphere. They are calling it a breakthrough for astrobiology.
