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!!
I'd like to see more Greening as well. It'd be nice to have some restrooms and showers, but with 70,000+ people, that's using a hell of a lot of water. I could compromise with portapotties and SOME showers, which would have to cost between $5 to $10; any less, some people would be taking them every few hours, trying to keep the sweat off( obviously, Bonaroo's not for them). Some cabins for people with disabilities would be nice, and a better med station too. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the way things are. It was mentioned earlier on the board, I like the primitive feeling of Bonnaroo. It's like for that weekend, you're almost completely isolated(goodluck getting a phonecall through), and you don't have anything to worry about except having an awesome time.

Everyone always says there is poor cell phone reception. You know I have never had a problem with calls going to people outside the festival but trying to call people I'm with while inside is a different story.
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont, and we're slowly learning that fact & we're very, very pissed off......."
I wish they'd bury the cables from the sound/light tower to the stage so that they didn't need that lane. It would create a better flow at the main stage and it really bugs me when every I see video or pics of the crowd from the stage.
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!
"That's the big thing about education. People can be book smart, but not really intelligent about anything else. A lot of times they just taking in all this information and regurgitate it. It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."

I don't think bathrooms would be a good idea. They would be a mess half way thru the first day. I like these ideas -- A lake - Swimming would be so nice. And there is the wonderful possibility of a late night skinny dipping rendezvous. A Vegas style buffet!! All you can eat for $8.99 (with A/C of course) would also be great. And while I’m thinking about Vegas how about a Casino Tent with all proceeds going to various charities and good causes. I would love some mid-day poker.
I've sent in my application to the Real World. So I'm hoping to hear back from that. I'm putting A LOT of my eggs into that basket, the MTV basket. I'm also thinking about getting a gun, and dealing crack. Being a crack dealer. Not like a mean crack dealer, but like... like a nice one. Kinda friendly like, "hey, what's up guys? Want some crack?"

that's nice but with a/c, the buffet would cost $24.99. i know that everyone has talked about a nice prestine lake with bikini-laden women but people have noted that there's the whole "drowning" thing and the lake would be a dump. if the fountain looks like nestle quik after a day, the lake would be a thriving pool of bacteria and nastiness.
i think that they should do the ampitheatre thing and make a good permanent structure for movies and comedy acts.

I can see it already.
"Hey Dave, you wanna go for a swim in the new lake?" "No thanks. I think I got my fill of dysentery last time we were in Mexico."

i'm going where the sun keeps shining, thru' the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes. backing off of the north east wind, sailing on summer breeze, and skipping over the ocean like a stone.
i really think that the ampitheater is a great idea... for comedy and movies on big screen (sponsered by the "mirrors" projectors... DLG i believe it is called)... make it about 10K seats so plenty of people can fit... wouldn't be A/C i guess.... maybe mist rains on you the whole time
i'd expect to see more permanent art structures...
i'd like them to plant trees so at bonnaroo 2022 there will be a nice shade all over... bonnaroo 2122 could have a treehouse stage... rush headlines in 2112 lolyyz

I think they should build a solar or wind farm- they could harvest enough energy to power the stages, and have enough left over to sell to utilities during the rest of the year. I think the Solar Stage is cool, but if the Roo weekend is overcast, permanent solar/wind power reserves could prevent blackouts. I'd bet that investment would pay for itself after three years, and makes fiscal sense since I believe AC/Superfly purchases RECs for generator use anyway.
I think this is the best and most likely idea. A completely green-powered Bonnaroo would be great and it's the sort of thing I could see them jumping all over. Aside from that I would bet on revamped main stages (and I'll hope for underground cables of some sort for the sound stages, I always hate those things).

Indeed bathrooms are a must. Showers would also be next on the list. And maybe a shield to block out the sun
"A few years ago in the town of Springfield USA there was a city hall meeting attended by one Montgomery Burns. At this meeting, Mr. Burns unveiled his plans for the town's new sun-blocking device."
This might be a good place to start if Bonnaroo decides to go ahead with the idea
