For all your first timers start preparing yourself, your body and your mind between now and next Thursday because this will be the best time of your life..
1--get plenty of sleep, sleep more than you ever have between now and next Thursday because sleep is an afterthought next week 2--get some sun this weekend so you don't get fried in the hot sun 3--lay off the alcohol and other recreational items between now and next week, your body needs a break to prepare itself 4--eat healthy, you will not next week 5--find an extra 100 bucks and stash it away so you dont worry about money 6--start packing now so your not doing last minute packing 7--hydrate yourself 8--do not run out of 2 things so pack plenty---water and sunscreen, everything else you can live without 9--bring your phone charger 10--bring an open mind 11--call your mother 12--exercise, exercise increases your stamina, you will need it 13--have sex, you wont have it at the Farm 14--research the bands so you have a plan 15--tell all your friends so they are jealous 16--put your out office on and change your voice mail 17--realize now that to have the most fun you will be doing some things by yourself 18--check the weather forecast 19--get your important work done by Monday night so the rest of the week is cake 20--see you next week at 21 pilots
23. Be careful who you trust with your money and what you put into your body. Bonnaroo is an opportunists wet dream, so many happy trusting people who are messed up and looking to get more so, that person selling you whatever is only interested in your money and will disappear into the crowd before you realize you've been ripped off.

24. Go take walks in your Roo shoes. The LAST thing you want on the farm is unexpected blisters, because your feet may not be used to the shoes you're gonna be wearing.
25. Dont go crazy decorating your vehicles. AKA "Bonnaroo Bound" and things like that. Every year once we cross the Tennessee boarder we inevitably see a handful of cars with stuff like that plastered all over there cars who have gotten pulled over by state troopers who WILL give your ride a THOROUGH search.
26. Fill your gas tank before you get in the car line. You are going to be there for a while. (Also take a good dump lol...you are REALLY gonna miss plumbing over the next 4 days)
27. On that note, put some TP in your back pack for Centeroo. No guarantee there will be any in the portos.
22. Don't take pictures with your ipad, i will knock it out of your hand.
Yeahh... cause that's the Bonnaroovian thing to do.
You called my bluff, however there is nothing more annoying than waiting for the pit all day to be let into the pits and being inundated with i pads from VIP that have immediate access and are blocking your view, happened last yr with RHCP and Phish sorry for the angst but it was really annoying to say the least

VIP does not have immediate access to the pit at What stage. But yes, people who use iPads to take pics at shows are lame. I take one picture with my camera at every show I see so I know I was there. That is all.

I misinterpreted your intent and was too hasty in my response. I totally get it now - its about enjoying the music and not being behind a device. Apologies for the haste, and enjoy Roo!

28. Do Not Sit against the walls. There are not enough potto potties at 'roo. After shows folks make a b-line to the walls to urinate. Don't hate the messenger.
29. bring a spray water bottle and fill it with ice and water. spray yourself and your friends and strangers. people will LOVE you for it. it makes waiting in line for food/portos gone by quicker
30. bring a ziplock bag with a bar of soap inside to use at the water stations. it's always nice to get your hands and face cleaned throughout the day and night.
31. wrap your cell phone in a ziplock, in case it rains.
32. DON'T LEAVE CAMP THURSDAY NIGHT WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE CAMPED!! I have seen so many people wander off, without their phone or anything, and can't find where they left their camp site.
33. drink a ton of water in the a.m. eat a big breakfast. you don't want to be weak and dehydrated come afternoon with intense heat.
34. befriend your neighbors. but don't let them know every little detail of what you've brought with you, meaning, they could rob you while you're gone.
35. baby wipes, baby wipes, baby wipes. wipe your bum with them, use them in the porto, getting in and out.
This cannot be repeated enough. Gold bond is your friend. Body Glide or that Gold Band anti chaffing stick are pretty good things to take as well, but nothing beats the original. Plus it makes your special parts tingle. Can't beat that.

Speaking of tingling special parts im leaving for Roo in 6 days!

39. If you see something you like, either in the campground or at the merch stand, buy it immediately or it will be gone when you come back. I missed out on several cool shirts because I meant to go back later and discovered they were sold out.
40a. Don't feel obligated to stay with your friends! If you want to go to a different set then just go. Some of the most fun I've had at Roo came when I split off for my own adventure.
40b. Establish meeting places and times so you can meet back up with your group after that awesome adventure you just had.

It took me 3 Roos to realize this. So clutch. Independent adventures can be the most rewarding.
Araabmuzik>Walk the Moon>Django Django>Purity Ring>Japandroids>Alt-J>Camp Reddaroo Rave
Local Natives>Of Monsters and Men>Passion Pit>Wilco>Conspirator>Sir Paul McCartney>the XX>ZZ Top>Wolfgang Gartner>Porter Robinson>Animal Collective>Pretty Lights
Portugal. The Man>Dirty Projectors>Matt & Kim>Dwight Yoakum>the Lumineers>Mumford>R Kelly>Rock n Soul Super Jam>Empire of the Sun>Boys Noize
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis>Holy Ghost!>Tame Impala>the National>Tom Petty and the Hea
41. Don't leave ANYTHING of value in your tent when you're not there. Lock them in your car. 42. If you don't have an app to locate your ipad/iphone or droid if it's lost or stolen, download one now. 43. Enjoy the entire weekend. Don't party too hard first day. Very easy to die in the heat if you don't take care of yourself. 44. If you see something, say something. Yes, Roo is about good times, but if you see something out of the ordinary (even for Roo) say something! Sorry it's that way, but that's the world we live in. Awareness saves lives. 45. Look out for each other. Don't be afraid to tell your friends to ease up a little or hydrate. 46. Don't poop where you shouldn't poop.

40c realize that you or your friends may have gotten caught up doing something else. Don't wait at the fountain for an hour missing music waiting on your friend who is already at another show or eating a grilled cheese or on the water slide. Is a good idea to have a plan but not a good idea to fret over it. Have a back up plan in case the initial plan falls through, (lets meet t the fountqin at 4 if youre not there lets meet at the bach of snack shack in what field at 830) and a set amount of time to wait. 15 minutes should be enough.
