The Official Bonnaroo 2009 Coachella Board thread

[hawkingvsreeve]

Yeah it was for false advertising. Cause again, it's all bullshit. It's a pretty box with a clever name for the same shit you would normally take.

[TommyboyUNM]

All that airborne and EmergenC and whatever else they try to sell you is nonsense. The key to getting better is vitamin C supplements, zinc, tons of fluids, and sleep.

The vitamin c you want to take after you eat, otherwise you will just piss it all out. Same with the zinc. Take 1000mg of c, not sure how much zinc. Speaking of pissing, you should be drinking enough water and oj to have you pee be clear. This cuts all of my colds in half.


I dunno, I haven't had a cold in over 3 years. I had bronchitis 2 years ago and that's about it. Just allergies other than that.

That stuff isn't nonsense, but it shouldn't be the only thing you take. Especially if you're already pretty sick.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I'm here to reassure you all that the body heat from the orgy will keep us all toasty :)

[faxman75]

It's nonsense in the respect that they market it as some new invention that will save you from getting sick.

you will do just as well if not better from stuff that already exists in the form of vitamins and fluids, that's all. Vitamin C is cheaper than airborn and works just as well so yeah calling it something new because you sell it as some cocktail of vitamins is kind of silly. There is no evidience airborn works better than regular vitamins or traditional methods of fighting sickness.

I never get the flu. i do get colds but maybe once or twice a year at most.

[amyzzz]

I've been getting the same one day cold for 2 or 3 weeks now. Trading it back and forth with my daughter. Either it's a cold or allergies. Or I need to power clean my fucking house.

[Mr. Dylanja]

zzz's, have I ever heard you swear in person?

[TommyboyUNM]

It's nonsense in the respect that they market it as some new invention that will save you from getting sick.


They USED to market it this way. And they were stupid for doing so. Just like anything, you should probably know what you're putting in your body. I knew what it was before I ever took it. But it seemed to work and I was like "fuck it, whatever." If you're already sick, don't think that drinking it twice a day will make you better.

[amyzzz]

I'm bringing my docs in case of intermittent rain. I live in the fucking desert so I have no idea what to wear if it's raining constantly the whole weekend (galoshes?). But I am assuming if it does rain, it won't rain all day long.

[chiapet]

All that airborne and EmergenC and whatever else they try to sell you is nonsense. The key to getting better is vitamin C supplements, zinc, tons of fluids, and sleep.


yea, I can't take zinc (makes me really dizzy and nauseous - really bizarre) but I take enormous amounts of vit C. Instead of taking a ton at once via EmergenC, I just take a tablet or two every 3-4 hours throughout the day. Either it really works, or it works because I think it will, but it shortens illness every time. Works for me for everything except stomach flus.

And I did know that some drugs dampen the immune system, I am working on getting better so I can still participate. :/



Regarding rain...

D
Rain + tshirts = :pulse
But rain + dayglo makeup = :(

So how about no rain and we just get all the girls to spray their shirts down for you? Deal?


Preparing for rain, there have already been lots of good tips, but just to recap:
- Make sure you have both your rain fly and a ground cover for your tent. Don't just use a big tarp for ground cover. If you need to use plastic sheeting or a tarp, cut it to size (should be just slightly smaller than the bottom of your tent). Plastic or tarp hanging over the edge of your tent = water funneling under your tent. Stake well in case it's windy.

- Poncho, and also consider that if it's wet and windy, you might be colder than usual. I usually bring a hoody for under a poncho.

- Anything sensitive to water (electronics, powders), I throw into a ziploc before putting in my tent or bag just in case the whole thing ends up in a puddle.

- Footwear... I cannot stand rain boots, so I wear normal boots, or if it's only raining lightly flip flops.

- Steve has an excellent point about keeping a spare pair of shoes, socks (pants, etc) in the car in case your tent leaks.

- If we're really expecting rain, a quick-dry towel or two might not be a bad idea. Both for drying people and for drying tent mishaps.

[chiapet]

Amy, I don't have rain boots either, but my doc-type-boots that are weather proofed stay dry "enough".

I don't know when I became so fragile, I'm remembering playing for hours in below zero weather and feet of snow, and would always become soaked to the very core of my being, despite putting feet into boots (and into plastic bags inside the boots!!) but it was always fine.

I want slow motion running under Mushroom Fountain!
kthxbai

[chiapet]

Uh. From me?
Or just the girls in general? :P


I am sure I will spend a lot of time under the fountain but will forewarn that it won't turn out as some sort of male fantasy. Probably closer to 'drowned puppy' look.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Way to kill the thread you sad puppy :nono

[slurpee]

Who spends money at Bonnoaroo?

I thought Bonnaroo was all about making money :)

[hawkingvsreeve]

If anyone is looking for something to watch Thursday night in the 9:30 - 10:30 time frame, you should join me at Chairlift.

Female fronted, sort of 80s retro sounding. Sorta Cure-ish. The girl reminds me of Amanda Palmer, vocally.

Here is a track. Not all are this slow, but this one caught my ear.


uVDAJuOdurQ

[amyzzz]

I will be watching Chairlift with you, Brandon.

[hawkingvsreeve]

As it turns out, they are the band in this ipod commercial.


Wdep-3ANSgI



Full song.

[chiapet]

Way to kill the thread you sad puppy :nono

Kill the thread? You mean everyone wasn't off taking a moment after thinking about me in my soaking wet tshirt? :(

[chiapet]

Brandon, I'm digging them too. There is too much going on at any time at Roo, I can already see it now.

[pancakespancakes]

I will be putting my tent up and stuff from 9:30-10:30. But depending on how long that takes I may give them a gander...

[Blinken]

I found this on Inforoo. It is a list of all the songs played on Springwteens tour so far, and how often they have been played. Very interesting that there is 100 songs on the list, and some cool covers.
http://www.kharlamov17.com/bruce/woad2.gif

[apostle2]

definitely planning on seeing chairlift, I have really been grooving on the cd, specifically bruises and evident utensil. I think they will be a great lead in to passion pit as well

[hawkingvsreeve]

I am missing PP. HOOD INTERNET!

[Blinken]

I am still really hurting on this Bon Iver Vs. RyG conflict. I am leaning towards Bon Iver but it is really a game time decision.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Halfsies.


I am trying to plan my driving itinerary. It's a pain in the ass. When are all of you going to be in Nashville? Just curious.

[chiapet]

I think I'm the first of the flyers - I get in around 6PM. Almost everyone else is 9PM-ish.

[faxman75]

I will be putting my tent up and stuff from 9:30-10:30. But depending on how long that takes I may give them a gander...

How exactly do you know what time you'll be putting up your tent?

[chiapet]

Oh, and Brandon, the speakers should be here today. They're on a FedEx truck somewhere, keeping me from leaving my apartment to get some damned lunch....

[hawkingvsreeve]

Sweet. You guys are staying at a hotel in Nashville right?

[Blinken]

Halfsies.


I am trying to plan my driving itinerary. It's a pain in the ass. When are all of you going to be in Nashville? Just curious.

I am not a fan of half sets, plus most of time I just stay at the first set and forget to leave.

Most of the people that are flying in land around 9pm, although Chia gets in earlier.

[hawkingvsreeve]

See I am a half set person. A roamer. A lone wolf. A renegade. A rebel.

[faxman75]

Sweet. You guys are staying at a hotel in Nashville right?

No that weird city that starts with the letter "m". I think it's on the the first page. Several of us are at that motel 6.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Murfreesboro I think it's called.

I get in to Nashville at 1:15 pm, Brandon.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Ahh. Hmm. Yeah I suppose that changes things.


Edit:

I am asking because I am looking for a place to stop and that M6 seems like a good spot. I would be crashing in the parking lot though, and I have myself arriving at 3am. You will all probably be night night.

[Mr. Dylanja]

My arrival? Yeah, Nashville will come to a stand-still.

[chiapet]

Hey D?

I SAW you mention earlier that you are not sure your friends are going to meet up with us at Walmart. Why are you trying to ruin our plans and break our hearts? Make sure you are at the Walmart by 5:30. You can sleep when you're old.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Hey there is a golf course near by!

[chiapet]

Dylan, PM me your cell number. Please. :)

[hawkingvsreeve]

9 holes with cart for 17 bucks. I am totally playing golf in TN.

THIS IS GOING TO RULE.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Hey D?

I SAW you mention earlier that you are not sure your friends are going to meet up with us at Walmart. Why are you trying to ruin our plans and break our hearts? Make sure you are at the Walmart by 5:30. You can sleep when you're old.

I'm not driving and am outnumbered by non-boardies two to one. I'm staying at The Motel 6 on Wednesday so the cream of the Coachella Message Board will have that time to convince my travel pals to tagalong.


Dylan, PM me your cell number. Please. :)

Woah woah WOAH!!! I've been trying relentlessly for months to score your digits only to be shot down more than a box of clay pigeons. Don't think that just becuase you asked nicely right off the bat you're getting my number! Nuh-uh-uh!

[Mr. Dylanja]

pm sent :pulse

[pancakespancakes]

How exactly do you know what time you'll be putting up your tent?

I plan on getting to Bonnaroo on Thursday evening at around 6:30-7:30ish... and so as soon I get there I will want to go immediately to the music, mainly for Portugal the Man who starts at 8:30, and then they end at 9:30... so I figure that would be the most appropriate time to go back and set up my tent and air mattress and whatnot because there isn't anyone else I really want to see.

[faxman75]

I just find it interesting that you are trying to schedule something that doesn't seem possible to schedule. Depending when you leave Nashville the line to get into Bonnaroo at best estimates is between 3 and 7 hours so giving the precise time of tent pitching threw me off.

[SoulDischarge]

I'm not driving and am outnumbered by non-boardies two to one. I'm staying at The Motel 6 on Wednesday so the cream of the Coachella Message Board will have that time to convince my travel pals to tagalong.


Cream.

[amyzzz]

I was also confused. If we don't have our campsite set up by sunset, I will be very put out.

[TommyboyUNM]

I was also confused. If we don't have our campsite set up by sunset, I will be very put out.


We'll have our campsite set up by 2:30.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Home? Car? Computer? Ipod/MP3?


How will you be connecting them? Through a receiver? Price range?

Home speakers, don't have a receiver/don't know what it does, do I guess I'm just looking for something I could plug iPod, some random drum machines, keyboard, etc...

[faxman75]

D$, didn't you say at one point you had convinced your friends to at least meet at the Walmart? Didn't we choose your Motel 6 because partially because you were staying there?

You continue to make us feel like we are wasting our time with you and your fickle plans. :nono

Or it's just not me following again. Blinken, can you explain D$'s plans to me. You're always on top of this stuff. :)

[feather]

HAHA. I will go to the moon and back for Dylanja...he's worth our time.

Okay so excuse me if this has already been discussed, I'm slow on the thread...but what is our live music camping situation like? I say Brandon does a DJ set from the top of his RV one night.

[faxman75]

Home speakers, don't have a receiver/don't know what it does, do I guess I'm just looking for something I could plug iPod, some random drum machines, keyboard, etc...

A reciever works as both AM/FM stero and a hub for all of your other components you hook up to it via the inputs. For example you have a reciever and speakers. you can listen to the radio. Then you can plug a cd player, dvd player, cassette player and so on into the reciever so now you can listen to all those things through your speakers.

Did I just explain what a home stereo is? You know how those worked right?

[faxman75]

HAHA. I will go to the moon and back for Dylanja...he's worth our time.


He says mean things to me. He should not be celebrated. :nono

[hawkingvsreeve]

Home speakers, don't have a receiver/don't know what it does, do I guess I'm just looking for something I could plug iPod, some random drum machines, keyboard, etc...

You need something to power the speakers, which would be your receiver. How much total do you want to spend?

[hawkingvsreeve]

I will look into laptop only djing and see if i could make it work. The mix I made is the next best thing.

My friend is a control freak with a fragile soul, no, it's not Tommy. I don't know if he'll be down to drive by a big ass line only to return to said line when it's even longer.

I'll/we'll do our best to convince him. Jesus Faxy, do you have a mancrush on me? I'm already spoken for, right Salah? :cat

[LooseAtTheZoo]

You need something to power the speakers, which would be your receiver. How much total do you want to spend?

Max 200 dollars,maybe 250.

I received this email from Bonnaroo


Hey Aaron,

Thanks for getting in touch. Superjam is still going down this year we just haven't finalized the schedule yet so no worries! Its back and better than ever. See you at the farm!

Best,
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival

[Mr. Dylanja]

You mean THE mix that got me laid??

[feather]

We can have a therapy session at Motel 6 if you need it Faxy.

[chiapet]

Okay so excuse me if this has already been discussed, I'm slow on the thread...but what is our live music camping situation like? I say Brandon does a DJ set from the top of his RV one night.

Feather, speakers are being delivered today, so we'll see how they work out. But should have powered speakers + car inverter + ipods and hopefully we do not kill my rental car battery. :)

I mentioned I will have strobe lights as well, right? This is why I need at least a couple of people to bring inverters, too, if they have them. ;)

I'm not above bribery. I will show up at your room at 4:45AM with a case of beer. How shall I bribe your drivers? Are they cute?

Or now that I have your number I could keep calling relentlessly until they give up on sleep and hit the road.

[faxman75]

Jesus Faxy, do you have a mancrush on me?

uh oh...

:o

[Mr. Dylanja]

Superjam = BOOYA!!

Just imagine if Trent was in it. Hell even David Byrne or Erykah too!!

Let's hug it out! Maybe we can hold hands while we watch Karen O, I heard she's attracted to gay guys.

What if D turns off his phone? :nono (and hell yes I will be in on this)

[chiapet]

I'm starting to feel like I'm going to have to wait in a really long time to get to D :(

I considered that possibility, but if he dares turn off his phone now that he knows I will be waking up early solely to BEG him to join us, I obviously will not only shun him for the entire weekend of Bonnaroo but for the rest of his life.

[Mr. Dylanja]

:nono

I jus' wanna PLUR :(

[faxman75]

I don't even want to go anymore......well except for the part where me and D are holding hands and watching karen o.....but wait..I thought we were watching Grizzly Bear?

I also don't want to make Salah mad so maybe instead of holding hands we can just put them in eachothers back pockets like so....

[seandlr]

I wish I was cool and spontanious and just said fuck it, i'm going to Bonnaroo

[chiapet]

After consideration in the shower just now, I think that, even though I'm seeing YYYs again this weekend, I am seeing them at Roo instead of Grizzly Bear. Plans open to change depending on mood of course.

[chiapet]

I also don't want to make Salah mad so maybe instead of holding hands we can just put them in eachothers back pockets like so....

I hate when people do that when I'm trying to actually walk around. So awkward.

I'm talking about Marquee, Marky!

It's not cheating if it's out of state :winkiss

[chiapet]

I thought it was 'out of town'. I live in a really big state.

[SoulDischarge]

Out of the house.

[chiapet]

And that doesn't really matter if you don't live with the person.

[chiapet]

It's probably actually 'not in my bed unless you invite me'.

[faxman75]

I'm not up with dating rules of the millenium. I'll see you at the Marquee D$ and we'll "straighten" this whole thing out.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I see what you did there, +5.

[amyzzz]

who are you seeing at the marquee?

[faxman75]

Karen O>MG!

[faxman75]

Karen O and Co.

That one night is gonna have to be Sunday night :) There is too much going on the other nights. But Brandon will should perform something.

[Mr. Dylanja]

LOL, you've gotten gayer by the post ever since I brought it up!

Is Jason going to that show? I suuuure would love a nice recording of it...

[chiapet]

There's not a ton going on Thursday late night either?

[Mr. Dylanja]

Ragey, can you say WAFFLES?!?!?

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!

[SoulDischarge]

Stop gaying it up in here. Especially since you're not going to put out.

[chiapet]

Aren't they? D jokes about it so much that I'm SURE the thought has crossed his mind. And well, if that doesn't work out, there is always Tommy.

[amyzzz]

sleep.

[faxman75]

Let me guess....they don't have waffles in Canada either


:nono

[chiapet]

Sleep? Why? We're going to get at least 3 hours of sleep on Wednesday. :)

[canexplain]

Murfreesboro I think it's called.

I get in to Nashville at 1:15 pm, Brandon.

yea then you are really close .... murfreesboro is the home of middle tenn state which is the place i took an ex for our first date .... it was ELO .... cr****

[amyzzz]

Gotta rest up for the all night dance party Friday.

[TommyboyUNM]

My friend is a control freak with a fragile soul, no, it's not Tommy.

This thread is turning on me just a week before Bonnaroo. I'm not sure if I wanna go anymore.

At least I have Feather?

Oh and I forgot. Amy called me stupid today. FML.

Thursday night will be Hood Internet dance party into Tobacco dance party. Sunday would be the night.

This software I found is sort of a pain. Trying to figure it out. Will keep you posted.





Also, Gonsh, that is a pretty limited price range for good home speakers if you dont already have a receiver. I was going to recommend stuff but you would be spending around 1000 on the total setup.

[Mr. Dylanja]

There there, Tommy, there there. I'm just trying to invoke a little passion before our erotic salsa dance!

I also loved your OKC/HTTT response for your two live sets. That is a helluva question but I might end up picking the same. If not I'd go Kid A/IR. It's a win win question.

[canexplain]

Ron, how was ELO live? I love that band.

they were a little softer then like yes and elp, but they were a prog band and that was my fav type of music back then so they were really good .... they did this big flying saucer specktakal .. pretty cool ... cr****

Ok these programs suck. Even the ones that want you to pay for them. Frustrating.

If anyone could fit some Orbital into their sets/music player it would be greatly appreciated. My iPod is broke at the moment and late night Orbital would be SOOO good at Roo.

I have Orbital on mine.

You people let this hang for three posts?!?

Shame. SHAME!

I do not have to participate in the owl puns. That I'm allowing them to happen is enough of a sacrifice on my part.

D and Feather I was going to have something for you two for bonnaroo but alas it will not be here on time so you'll just have to be somewhere I am, sometime, hopefully before next Coachella. ;)

Hot. Very hot.

Well, relatively hot. Like most of my countrymen, I'm designed for near-aquatic conditions. And as soon as it stops raining, we can't cope. I was off, so I took a train to the pretty little old seaside town of Bray, and myself and Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest climbed up Bray Head:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Bray_head.jpg

And marvelled at the fact that anybody was ever demented enough to haul all the concrete up there to make that damn thing.

Then I came home, and sat down, and that pretty much brings us up to speed. It was a nice day.

EDIT:

Oh, and I discovered the wreckage of a cable car system I never knew about before. Which was cool.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I listened to that SAME album today :thu

Looks like that's quite the vista from the top there. How old is that cross, do you know?

I bet it's hotter here than it is there :p

[amyzzz]

omg I listened to it too! Well a few songs anyway.

[SoulDischarge]

Veckatimest is an uniter.

[paulb]

yawn

[MissingPerson]

Yes, yes, it's hotter everywhere else, we're just pussies. The US and Australia have both informed us of this.

Inscription says it was built in 1950, which was apparently a "Holy Year". I'm not really sure what was so awesome about 1950 that some dudes decided it needed to be commemorated by dragging loads of cement up a rocky cliff.

I dragged myself through nearly vertical forestry and through all these little animal trails through the wild brush, and only when I got up to the top did I notice the lovely gentle tourist path I was actually supposed to use. Was too tired to be angry.

[pancakespancakes]

I had a near-spiritual experience listening to Veckatimest on my drive through the Big Sur coast, it looked like this:

Now you just sound like you've got a speech impediment. Or a brain injury.

Oh good thing you aren't arowlnd D and I a lot because "ItOWLian" is our first language, and English our second.

MP one of my good friends is in Ireland for two months!!! Maybe you can show her around? Although I would be jealous if she got to hang out with you before I did.

[MissingPerson]

Note to self: Go to Big Sur, in face of advice from The Thrills.

Feather - Next few months, while I'm off from college, I'm probably going to be spending a lot of time on my dad's farm helping out. He gets an extra farmhand, I spend less money on food, everybody wins!

But I'd be more than happy to make the trip back to Town to have a few drinks with your friend, if she's in want of company. I hope she gets weather as awesome as we're having now, rather than, you know, the normal weather.

[Mr. Dylanja]

for people that have read this b4, sorry ... in the late 70's i had a deli in a town just about and hour from the roo ... subway didnt even exist and there was just two places to eat b4 i opened mine ... it was in an old house and i had game boards all over and tunes blaring .. sorry i digress, it was called BIG OWLS, and i had fucking owls all over the place .... to this day when i go back there to see my sis, everyone says Hi BIG AL .... dah .... cr****

I feel like there's a "Hooters" joke in here somewhere, and I just can't, for the life of me, find it.

[chiapet]

I am still waiting for Fedex to show up with the speakers. And I'm getting grumpy because I have not had any lunch yet NOR coffee.

[chiapet]

Wow. As soon as I typed that, Fedex showed up. I should have complained hours ago.

Brandon.... the subwoofer is fucking huge. Like, so big it won't fit in my suitcase. I need to figure out how I'm even going to get this to TN. I assumed it would be a lot smaller than the box because of packaging but really it's pretty big.

I'll test it after I get some dinner.

[canexplain]

chia, what do you think of Sonia Sotomayor .. just wonderin .... cr**** free root beer float sonic wed night ...

[chiapet]

Ron, to be honest, I am embarrassingly out of date with the news on her and her background. I've heard a few grumblings about a 'token' minority selection, but that's mostly from my really conservative relatives.

Ron this is a great story, maybe someday we can visit! I may need some business tips from you later down the road.

[chiapet]

I lied. I went ahead and set them up. Brandon the way these set up is a little odd, and I can see how idiots might think there are no inputs. You have to connect the (wired) remote which has a both an aux cable and a remote with a headphones jack.

I have it turned up just past half-way, bass not even cranked, and it's loud enough that I think my neighbors are going to complain. And they're a bunch of loud-music playing biker punks.

Maybe since I'm playing your mix, one of them will come down to complain and end up putting out.

[chiapet]

Also, Brandon, I am really liking your mix. I had my doubts when you showed the track list but it's pretty good.

[chiapet]

How do you guys feel about disco? Or are we sticking strictly to electronic?

[sbessiso]

All that airborne and EmergenC and whatever else they try to sell you is nonsense. The key to getting better is vitamin C supplements, zinc, tons of fluids, and sleep.

The vitamin c you want to take after you eat, otherwise you will just piss it all out. Same with the zinc. Take 1000mg of c, not sure how much zinc. Speaking of pissing, you should be drinking enough water and oj to have you pee be clear. This cuts all of my colds in half.

Thanks for that advice. I just finished my Airborne so i'll go pick up some vitamin c tomorrow. And i've been chugging OJ like a madman, and water is my favorite drink so im always pretty well hydrated.

Fuck guys I wish I could party in the motel with all of you. There I said it

Fuck guys I wish I could party in the motel with all of you. There I said it


Hehe. I don't wanna speak for anybody else, but I think the point of getting motel rooms is to NOT party the night before Roo.

[chiapet]

yea, I was going to say I think most of us actually plan on sleeping a little, not partying. If we weren't looking to sleep, we'd be in the Walmart parking lot :)

[sbessiso]

Well I'd probably bunk with Feather and I dont think we'd get much sleep done. I just have this crazy image in my mind of the motel that night!

So what time do you guys plan on being at the walmart? 5?

[TommyboyUNM]

Well I'd probably bunk with Feather and I dont think we'd get much sleep done. I just have this crazy image in my mind of the motel that night!

Your goal that weekend is to steal Feather away from me, isn't it SalahBoy?

We'll be at the Walmart by 5:30. If you all haven't read the first page, please do so. Thanks.

[chiapet]

Hey Tommy, one of the guys we camped with at Coachella (formusickind on the board) is going to Roo, but he and his friends are RV camping. Have we come up with any way to help people find our site? Signs/flags/whatever?

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Can someone with Roo experience tell me how much space is generally alloted per car? My group will be driving three cars, and we want to set up two cars flanking the area we are provided, so we can have all the tents/canopy in one area. Am I being clear, let me illustrate

1 represents a car
W is a tent
H is a canopy


1 WW H 11


Will we have enough space? Also, is it better to bring two four person tents or one eight person tent?

[chiapet]

Hey Aaron, I've not been there before, but I'm pretty sure they line up cars along side of each other with the space for camping either in front of or behind the car -- not much between.

[TommyboyUNM]

I have no idea how we're going to identify our campsite, as of yet.

Aaron, last year they were pretty generous with the amount of room they gave us. Doesn't seem like you all with have any problems. Of course, that was last year. It may be different this time around.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Hmmm...okay, that's a little disappointing, but you say we can set up in front/behind the cars, so at least our little areas won't need to be separated by cars.

Anyone else have experience with this/advice?

[sbessiso]

Drew is the expert here, Gonsh. If he doesnt see, shoot him a PM

[TommyboyUNM]

Drew is the expert here, Gonsh. If he doesnt see, shoot him a PM


Yeah, Gonsh, Drew is the only person in this thread who can accurately remember how much room he had at his campsite.

[chiapet]

Tommy, I've heard they're generous, but generous enough to put up 2 4-person tents and a canopy between cars? I doubt it. That would be like 15'+.

Aaron think more like this:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1132/732160574_7e02abefeb.jpg

[sbessiso]

Hehe, thank you Tommy. I just won a bet with myself

[faxman75]

Tommy, I've heard they're generous, but generous enough to put up 2 4-person tents and a canopy between cars? I doubt it. That would be like 15'+.

3 cars, one structure per car. I don't see the problem.

[chiapet]

Right, but he said they were planning on setting up between the cars. I think they can do exactly what they wanted to do in front of or behind their cars. :) As I said in my earlier post.

[TommyboyUNM]

Tommy, I've heard they're generous, but generous enough to put up 2 4-person tents and a canopy between cars? I doubt it. That would be like 15'+.

Aaron think more like this:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1132/732160574_7e02abefeb.jpg

We had more room than that in between cars. If Aaron talks to the people directing traffic, there's a good chance they'll be nice and provide some extra room on "accident."


Hehe, thank you Tommy. I just won a bet with myself


What was the bet, my man?

[faxman75]

Ah so you think they will be able to put all of that behind the cars? I guess I don't get the difference as it's the same amount of space, no?

[chiapet]

Mark, it's just like how we camped at Sasquatch. They didn't give us 15' BETWEEN our cars, but we had space behind - the width of our parking spots. And yea, we would have had space for a canopy plus two tents.

[woogie846]

I'm trying to imagine how huge the camping section is going to be at Bonnaroo, but I don't think I can until I get there.

[sbessiso]

woogie, are you gunna come and meet some of us? I'm gunna go out there and say it would be really nice to meet you

[faxman75]

Gotcha, it looks like they have loads of space behind the cars. I wonder how far apart they put the rows.

[chiapet]

Didn't someone say that the farthest campsites are a couple of miles? I can't imagine walking that after late night sets.

[faxman75]

That would be rather brutal.

[chiapet]

Gotcha, it looks like they have loads of space behind the cars. I wonder how far apart they put the rows.

I was wondering that too because every picture I look at has a LOT of space behind the cars. Which would be great.

When's Jason back in town? I think we need to figure out our shade situation. I can go to a hardware store once I pick up my rental. (I think they all close before you guys get in).

[LooseAtTheZoo]

But because we're caravanning in at the time we are, we won't be that far away, right? RIGHT?

[paulb]

Im wondering how tired im gonna be at 4am when the music is just ending... should be interesting....and will it be like Coachella where u cant sleep in past 9am?

[faxman75]

Sounds good. How much do we owe you for the rental?

[chiapet]

You know, I'm able to sleep past 9 at Coachella. Earplugs and tent fan. I just end up waking up for a second every hour or two to strip off more clothes.

[faxman75]

I sleep til 6:00am or so at Coachella. I hit the showers where there is virtually no wait. It's awesome.

[chiapet]

Mark, I think like $60 each? It was a bit more than I expected due to getting a SUV.

[sbessiso]

Didn't someone say that the farthest campsites are a couple of miles? I can't imagine walking that after late night sets.

I had the furthest spot last year. Its really far, I DO NOT WANT THIS AGAIN

[JSam67]

But because we're caravanning in at the time we are, we won't be that far away, right? RIGHT?

I'm hoping this is also true. And shit, if people aren't meeting up until 5:30 at the Wal-Mart, we might leave later from Iowa. I'd planned on heading to TN shortly after my 11 hour shift ends Wed. morning, but maybe I'll get a few hours of sleep first.

Also, do you guys have iPhones? I don't, but several people in my Coachella crew had them and there was some app that made it much easier to find our vehicle at the end of the night. Thinking we oughta do the same thing with our campsite...

[faxman75]

Mark, I think like $60 each? It was a bit more than I expected due to getting a SUV.

No worries, sounds great. :)

[sbessiso]

And shit, if people aren't meeting up until 5:30 at the Wal-Mart, we might leave later from Iowa.

I was thinking this exact thing. I'm meeting with homegirl in a couple days and we're gunna do some serious Bonnaroo Business

[pancakespancakes]

woogie, are you gunna come and meet some of us? I'm gunna go out there and say it would be really nice to meet you

I will second this. I like woogie. I feel that I have seen involuntarily seen him at many shows in the past already.

[chiapet]

Josh, yea, the GPS maps allow you to mark a location, which would be handy if the network is fast enough to use GPS and if GPS coverage is granular enough to find a location. Worth a try but I wouldn't bank on it.

[JSam67]

I was thinking this exact thing. I'm meeting with homegirl in a couple days and we're gunna do some serious Bonnaroo Business

I need to have this chat with N&S. I still don't know if A&C are going or not, which completely affects which vehicle we'll take and every other detail. I'm getting so frustrated. N&S have absolutely no idea what they're in for, they think this is just going to happen. Whatever.

[sbessiso]

I saw A (of A&C) put two Bonnaroo tickets for sale on ebay. She linked it on facebook. It made me Majorly Sad Panda

[JSam67]

Yeah, they've been trying to sell them but to no avail. I don't know why they don't just go, I know she's jobless but they've already foot the bill for the tix, y'know? I'm different I guess, when I was jobless, it didn't prevent me from going to Lolla in '07, and it was a spectacular decision on my part, I feel.

But hey, if we leave later, maybe Pat can ride down with N, S, and me. It'll all work out, I just wish I didn't have so many questions about my group this close to Roo.

[paulb]

how far is North Carolina from Bonnaroo?

[chiapet]

Depends on where in NC. Western NC is very close.

[paulb]

um....Asheville.........how far?

[paulb]

ok, just checked mapquest

Total Estimated Time: 4 hours 49 minutes
Total Estimated Distance: 284.23 miles

so.............who wants to go to Asheville and see the Bboys in a 900 person club!?

[chiapet]

About 300-350 miles I think?

[sbessiso]

Damn Paul. I wanna go!!

Asheville is a BEAUTIFUL fuckign city. I mean gorgeous, I visited there in 07

[chiapet]

Paul, that is supposed to be a really nice venue too. If I were more into BBoys I'd do it.

[paulb]

u know the venue, Orange Peel?

[paulb]

tix go on sale Friday.... so i guess thats when they will announce the date, and im assuming it will be the wednesday or thursday... in and outs allowed at Bonnaroo with your car?

[Mr. Dylanja]

to strip off more clothes.

ORLY?

[sbessiso]

THIS!

:(:(:(:(:(

come on flapy

[Mr. Dylanja]

Playlist request, The Crystal Method - Double Down Under

Off the new album, Divided by Night

[apostle2]

I'm not surprised the BBoys warm up show is at the Orange Peel, that's AC Entertainment's flagship venue.

gonsh, people are right, there won't be room to put your structures between the cars, it goes row of cars, row of tents, row of tents, row of cars. but, since you have three cars driving in together, when you park just give a couple feet between the vehicles and no one will give a shit. you should have plenty of space. the official rule is 10' x 10' for each vehicle

[chiapet]

10'x10' per vehicle is pretty small, are they more generous than that in actuality?

For example, we have 4 people in our car, at coachella we'd get 16' x 16' and that feels small. :P

[paulb]

ok so Orange Peel has X playing Thursday...fri/sat are booked...and if MMM has a gig in Denver on the 13th... i doubt he'll be in NC on the sunday 14th....so, Wednesday it is! I must be there somehow.

[apostle2]

10'x10' per vehicle is pretty small, are they more generous than that in actuality?

For example, we have 4 people in our car, at coachella we'd get 16' x 16' and that feels small. :P

Truth be told, there is actually nothing official about the camping process WHATSOEVER. haha. the only people you will have to deal with on matters of camping space are your neighbors. you will just stake out the space that you need, and if you are encroaching on space that your neighbor needs, they will tell you. and vice versa.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Heidi, glad to hear everything should work out well. Also glad to hear you dig the mix.

Now as far as getting them there, if worse comes to worse packing wise, feel free to ship the sub to me and I can drive it. Obviously that is another expenditure, but it may be easier/cheaper than trying to bring it on a plane. Let me know what you decide, but it's gotta be decided quick.

[TommyboyUNM]

I listened to the new White Rabbits album tonight. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Is anybody else seeing them with me on Thursday night?

Also, I just finished the new Phoenix album. Didn't like it quite as much as the White Rabbits one, but it was still pretty solid. I think it'll be a good show on Friday night.

[chiapet]

The sub alone is like 20+ lbs I think. It would be more expensive to ship to you (in time to get to Roo) than to fly with it.... the only concern I have is that the sub is much bigger (wider) than my suitcase. But I was planning on getting a new (bigger) suitcase anyway so now I'll take that into consideration.

God help me, I'm going to have one bag full of camping gear and one bag full of electronics and lights and glow, and no clothes at all.

I was glaring at the sub earlier thinking that I could pack at least 8 pairs of shoes in its place. :P

[chiapet]

Yes, Tommy they're on my list. Though Thursday is kind of a clusterfuck for me, I want to see almost everything at all times.

[TommyboyUNM]

Fuuuuuck yeah. Looks like this is what I'm taking. Chia and Faxy, I bought a new backpack after mine took a shit at Sasquatch. It's tough to see the old one go. We've been through a lot together.


http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d136/tommyboyunm/002-9.jpg

[chiapet]

That looks pretty good compared to what I'm doing. I'm -literally- going to have a suitcase full of electronics and glow. I bought one of those large military surplus type duffel bags which will hopefully fit all my camping gear.

[Mr. Dylanja]

God help me, I'm going to have one bag full of camping gear and one bag full of electronics and lights and glow, and no clothes at all.

This shows me you're finally figuring out what the Roo is all about :thu

For me, it means I'm probably only going to last a song or two at Phish. Look at the length of all these songs: only one song less than 5 and a half minutes?! These motherfuckers don't take the term "jam band" lightly, do they?

You would hope so, but it doesn't mean you'll get a sweet spot just because you're early. We were really early one year and got LITERALLY the worst spot, I think it was camp Q. It had to be at LEAST a mile and probably a 25-35 minute walk to a stage. It sucked ASS. I don't know how to get a good spot, there are a lot of theories, but I have no idea.

[sbessiso]

That was me last year, Stevesy.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

[feather]

I don't have boots, is that bad?

[miSTEVEious]

god it sucked so bad

nah don't worry about boots!

[sbessiso]

I don't have boots either. I'm sure i'll be fine

[faxman75]

Boots are not a necessity i'm sure. My feet tend to hurt without the ankle support when lots of walking is involved. They are also water proof which is a nice bonus but again I think there are people who do the opposite and wear sandals all weekend. If there is a lot of mud and rain I may be better off than some but it's not the end of the world.

[shotglass75]

mah boots are comin', should be here on Saturday.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515qwhp1uYL._SL500__SS140_.jpg

Had the exact ones for Glastonbury and my feet were perfect. Dry, comfortable, and no blisters at all. Wear them a day before to break them in. I'll probably be wearing my sandals all weekend. bringing boots and Wellies just in case of a monsoon

Where are all of you guys going to be trying to camp this year? Is it basically wherever they put us or do you have a particular place in mind. I'm shuttling it in around 10:30 and probably going to be doing tent only but I am not sure.

[faxman75]

Had the exact ones for Glastonbury and my feet were perfect. Dry, comfortable, and no blisters at all. Wear them a day before to break them in.



Good to hear. They were only $35 and that included new laces and additional weather proofing. They were slightly used already but I plan on wearing them for at least a day prior because they are "M" which is not wide width so I figured they could use a little stretching out. These are the same kind I previously had for 7 years but finally died at Coachella this year when the soles cracked on both. I also wore them every day walking around europe for 22 days. My feet were quite happy.

[sbessiso]

Wait a second, can someone send me the exact information on these boots and how I can get a pair

its seems there will be rain, i will be packing my israel boots. so i assume if there is rain and therefore mud, there will be a mud fight amongst the whole Roo population? whats the situation like if it rains all weekend? so far friday is at 60% chance

[feather]

nah don't worry about boots!

Good I don't want shoes at all!


Boots are not a necessity i'm sure. My feet tend to hurt without the ankle support when lots of walking is involved. They are also water proof which is a nice bonus but again I think there are people who do the opposite and wear sandals all weekend. If there is a lot of mud and rain I may be better off than some but it's not the end of the world.

BABY... :D


Where are all of you guys going to be trying to camp this year? Is it basically wherever they put us or do you have a particular place in mind. I'm shuttling it in around 10:30 and probably going to be doing tent only but I am not sure.

I want to meet up, fellow Prodigy lover.

Maybe I can use some of my magical powers to get us a good spot. All this talk about it is getting me worried.

I've made it so we'll be getting in line roughly the same time that my ex, her sister and I did last year. That seemed to work out really well. We were 5 minutes (at most) walking distance from Centeroo. It is sorta random, but it worked last year. So why not do the same thing?

And, Salah, don't worry because Drew said I had a good plan with that. And I know how much you trust him on Bonnaroo matters.

No need to worry about it. Even if you get the worst camping spot (which you guys won't) you're still at bonnarooooo.

but if those "magical powers" turn out to work, you want to magic up a spot for me too? :thu

[Mr. Dylanja]

One week from right now I'll owlready be on a plane, WOW!

Very true. & I love to walk. I will definitely save a nesting spot for you if it works!

I hate planes, so I'm flying myself.

[Mr. Dylanja]

You're so FLY, FeathyFeath.

On a Roo note, I set up my tent and my canopy last night with no real snags at all. If I can get set up that fast on the Farm it shouldn't take me any longer than a beer.

What color BALLZ does everyone want? I am going to pick them up tomorrow. (Salah?)

[amyzzz]

I keep making lists. I need to start shopping and/or packing.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I'm used to blue ballz the most...







:nono

[amyzzz]

[feather]

The blue ballz are the prettiest, in my opinion.

Im leaving my neurosis at the door, Feather. I'm going to love the ballz this time, you just see.

I want anything NEON.

P.s.-Im bringing the boa....
