yea, i think your right on that one.
if thats gonna be the case then these clues are worthless this year. even though the last 2 years had much harder clues then 08, at least we had some contact from DJJD to give us guidance and some hints along the way. It made it somewhat fun since we were able to know when we came to an answer.
If they are just gonna let us run in circles with out any help then its just a waste of time. We prob have already found the right answer for this, but we will never know.

i looked up cancelled space shuttle missions and found this, one of the columbia space shuttle launches that were cancelled
STS-9 (Columbia)-Originally scheduled for launch on 1 August 1980. The crew of 3 were to place the satellites GOES-4 and SSUS-D into orbit during the 3-day mission.
I'm still looking into it more to see if it fits in with the rest of the clues
STS9's first album was "Interplanetary Escape Vehicle" in '99, maybe it was delayed or something?

i dont believe anyone canceled last year.
and there were several bands reported that werent on the bill last year.
311 And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
those both come to mind right away, but i know that there were others that were announced that morning as well that named the morning of the lineup and werent there.

This is my first year doing Roo Clues. I've been super stoked, waiting on them. Now it's just a disappointment. If we don't get feedback, we're just wasting our time. 41 friggin pages & we've gotten nowhere. I thought there'd be more clues. Confirmations. Instead this is just never ending stress (that I keep torturing myself w/ hoping someone gets a confirmation).

Yeah I remember someone posting an email from 311 saying they would love to be there but have never been contacted. I think they were a rumor the last 2 years....

It was posted on CoS (supposedly supported by Rolling Stone) until a tweet from 311 stated they weren't aware they were playing Roo.
And as far as getting guidance on guesses, my vegas bet would be that we aren't going to get any. The point of the exercise for the promoters is to generate buzz about Roo; just getting people talking about it.
The only reason I'm not completely annoyed by the approach is that it's funny reading how far out there people go to tie their favorite band to the clue, and how utterly incorrect most people are when the actual lineup comes out. Well, that and it gives me a lot to read during the day.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
So far, Bonnaroo 2011 has gotten off to a bad start.
negative
I agree, it has not been a bad start. Some of you expect way too much from someone who is new to roo's clues. We have been lurking this site for 5-6 months looking for interesting things to occupy our time with and now that the clues are here we are getting pissed within 48 hours that we dont have something new to cling on to. Personally i think that she will give us a hint or a answer to the clue when she gives out the next clue. if not that then she will more than likely help us out this weekend when (like most other people) she has a couple days to check this less-than-relevant website.
Why has Bonnaroo 2011 gotten off to a bad start? Because we can't figure out the clue? Which apparently is katieontheair's fault. Everybody just chill out. The clues are supposed to be fun. With all the hating on Katie because she isn't announcing the clues and then dropping breadcrumbs to the answer within hours making it easy for everyone, this thread is the only thing negative that I am finding about this years roo so far. We should be thankful that ANYONE took over the clues. I am guessing she is not involved on the board yet is because people are going on and on about what a bad job she is doing, BY DOING WHAT SHE SAID SHE WOULD DO SO FAR. Her first tweet about clues said she would reading a clue at noon. NOT HOLDING A BUNCH OF NOOBS quacking HANDS TO FIND THE ANSWER. Show her what this is community is about, not how bitchy we can be and maybe we would get a little more help. </rant>

regardless of what may be contained in these pages (which I bleive is a lot well processed material) I think 42 pages means we are doing pretty well, who cares if they ever 'confirm' the clues. They will post a lineup in less than a month!!
