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!!
So last week Bonnaroo adds their craptacular activities line-up, and this week I finally get an e-mail about it. Am I to believe that this is a substitution for any real announcement this week. Don't send me an e-mail about absolutely nothing. If they don't have a real announcement this week then I'm going to be pissed.
I'm right there with you, I was very frustrated with the most recent "news", which wasn't news at all. The activits listed are at bonnaroo every year. The playground is literally in the ground, i figured it wasn't going anywhere. "Activites" are the sonic forest and silent disco, I want to see additions like that. This was just something to keep us occupied until the next round of artists.

I'm thinking that they must still have a lot of tickets to sell with wanting us to do some marketing for them with the e-card "announcement".... should we all be excited that you want us to market?
I think you're reading too much into this. I think someone just didn't send an email out. And this is a very routine type of news item for them or any company/event. I say this in particular because I'm in public relations and we do this sort of thing all the time.
Heck, I'm always amazed they send emails out on Friday at all- in the news world you never send out news on Fridays unless you want to bury it. (But for selling tickets it's a good day.)

even if its just a need to sell tickets they should have at leats told us the other activities instead of giving us something we already knew. i'm not mad though i'm too excited from this amazing line-up to be mad

maybe some traditional roo music would sell some tickets. i dont know if e cards is gonna do it. i would think the worlds greatest band putting on the worlds greatest live show would have the tickets flying off the shelves. maybe the crowd wont change like i thought, maybe it will just be smaller.
agree that this was a retarded thing to make an announcement for.although i have a feeling its the most exciement we will see for a while. world partyis ok but avetts and mutemath is not doing much for me
i hadnt been negative in a while so theres my outburst.
i still think it will end up selling out

"Ehhhh, give me some traditional music. Ehhh, something I can set my watch to. Ehhhh, this new fangled music makes my bowels shudder. Ehhhh, I'm confused, how did I get here?!"

ive never been able to set my watch to sci, nma, tlg, wsp or any number of other 3 letter intitaled bands. the only thing confusing is the lack of music that i normally enjoy at roo. i love 99 percent of the lineup. its just lacking in one crucial area.
in my opinion
by the way thats pretty funny

I agree with those who say bonnaroo needs to sell tickets. Not many people have done the e-card thing is my guess, so they decided to send an e-mail to see if anyone might have missed it on the website.
i would much rather of paid 20 dollars less for my ticket then see these worthless announcements and gimmicky marketing. it used to just be about good music. that was enough to sell tix. why all of this silly? bonnaroo has become a whore! i still love her though

i dont ever recall getting announcement announcing the fountain and the playground, well maybe in 02. and its not just emails its also the retarded e card crap. quit wasting loot on garbage and pay some more bands or fix the juke box or something decent.
i think it is worthy of complaint. much more so then complaining about a complaint
I don't think a lot of people were particularly upset, just more frustrated with Superfly. For your Bonnaroo newcomer, the e-mail might have seemed helpful, and maybe the videos gave some people a "fun look" into the experience (frankly I only watched 1 and half of them, but they were kinda weak, Bonnaroo is way better than the video shows). But for us (the bonnaroo obsessed), that e-mail was equivallent to someone telling us there was going to be sand when we went to the beach. As I said before, the "activities" they announced are things that are at Bonnaroo every year; this did not qualify as "news" but more of a "reminder".

dudewheresmyroo? You really should stop talking, it would make yourself sound alot smarter... YOU are fueling an all out flame war, YOU are also more of a "drag" than anyone else i've EVER seen on here...
You're also making everyone else who is questioning the changes and/or offering their own criticism look bad by being so damn one sided and self righteous... It sucks when someone simply tries to voice their opinion and all they get in response is flames, i know how that feels. But you're ASKING to be flamed when you present your thoughts the way you do.
No one has you figured out man, but when you come across like you have been, no one is going to take you seriously... If you have something to say, say it in a mature and respectable manner... Dont be a prick about it... Stop ruining it for people who want to discuss rather than argue and create tension....
P.S. Bonnaroo is STILL about GOOD music... Just because you or i see less good music(in our opinions) on the lineup this time around doesnt mean the music sucks and that Bonnaroo is completely f*cked.... and quit the damn MTV thing its just stupid, Roo' is still so damn far from mainstream its silly to say stuff like that....
