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!!
We had one two years ago and I had a good time. We were smaller then so about 20 or so people made it. I starting this now so we can all discuss when the best time/place to meet. When we reach a time/place I'll sticky and lock a thread in all the sub forums telling people the info. Hopfully we can have a good turn out.
I missed out on the last one, and I know this can be tough to get together with everyone's schedule, but I would love to work something out.
I think the best time to meet has to be Thursday night, because varying musical priorities and the importance of sleep during the mornings makes it pretty tough to come up with a good time once things kick into full gear.
That said, its looking like I won't be there by Thursday night yet again, so I would love to have an alternate or backup meetup planned sometime during the weekend. Whatever we come up with, I think its good to be really specific about the location and time. Something like "the playground" or even "the swingsets" can seem specific enough, but end up being pretty vague when put into practice.
I'm in; I didn't make it last time, so I'd like to meet y'all! I'm pretty flexible on times until I know what the schedule is like.....Did you all meet at the mushroom last time? It's big and easy to find.....or, if the sonic forest is back, that might be a good place?
Another suggestion for a place would be around that shed (?) thing that's over beside the cinema tent. There won't be as many people around that, so it will be easier to recognize each other.

I'm in. I hit last year's meet up and met Raven, but we didn't see anyone else. I agree that a location that's very specific is best when the Bonnaroo crowd in general is so big.
In addition to a meet-up, I think it would be a lot of fun if we perhaps all got together to attend a show. I know it might be impossible to all agree on even one act to see but its just an idea. Any suggestions? Maybe Matisyahu; he's fun and appeals to a broad audience.
I think it would be awsome for the ones ariving on Thursday to meet up at a diner in mancheter and camp near each other..it would be camp Inforoo. Have a flag made..get a few phone #'s of ppl and let them know where we are at..so during downtimes it could be a hangout place...maybe i am wishful thinking.
The way we had it the last time we met on Thursday in the playground. I screamed Infroo and people yelled Bonnaroo back. It worked funny as hell but it worked. I like the idea of meeting at a place where there are less people. We also tried meeting up every day before the music started but that didn't work at all. I'm willing to try. I think a sign would be easier. I'm gonna try to get a caravan together so we can have a decent number of folks together.
Well, we can make out own flag or I can go have one made. As far meeting up the playground is good to meet up with ppl who come in later. I was wondering how we did me the last time..I forgot someone was yelling Inforoo..that was funny. The thing is to get ppl to meet up on a daily basis.

if anybody else is interested in this, we might be up for it.....it would be a good way to get to know everyone, and we could probably all expand our camp areas this way....
Last year I was in on the listserv meetup and it went pretty well. The meetpoint was the arch going into Centeroo, easy to find, centrally located, and because it's outside of Centeroo, there's no problem w/ folks bringing liquid refreshment through the checkpoints. From there it could move to whoever has the largest campsite. Oh, and I vote for Thurs eve. Just my $0.02

I will either be riding down with a few friends or taking a bus but either way i'll be backpacking my stuff to the tent only area to camp. I'd love to catch up with you guys somehow especially if theres a camp we can organize. I might be coming straight from wakarusa and have a day or two to kill so something on thursday would be no prob for me...
That way it gives everybody a chance to hang. Who knows, one day you might be standing there alone, but at least it gives you a chance. It would have to be a very specific location, with a very specific time though. Maybe some sort of Inforoo "call" would be appropriate. Perhaps a gang sign of some sort?
I was toying with this idea the other day and was glad to find it was already a thread. I don't see us coming up with a good meeting time until the schedule is solid. Thursday is nice due to the lack of music, but not everyone will be there, and I can remember how excited I was when I first arrived last year, it would be hard for people remember amidst all the amazingness.
Perhaps we could all wear something to identify each other? A specific colored bandana on your arm (or maybe something less stupid looking, this was just an example)? It would be tight to find yourself next to someone in the pit and say "Hey, you know inforoo?"

yeah i like the idea of meeting people from the internet, when there isn't a chance of getting raped or killed. i love meeting people, especially after you talk on a forum, and... yeah, i'm just a nut ball. then again i guess everyone is somewhat of a wack job. i mean what would life be like if we were all so serious??? i am definitely down, and i plan on comin in on thursday night.
How about this. We try to meet before the late nights sets? I know it'll be strange but meeting in the lull period between headliner and late night give us a better chance to be awake and meet and catch some sets. What do you guys think?
