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 in 2013!!
I really don't want to post the link, because I come off like an ape, but whatever. This is also the thread where he brags about making a fellow inforooster cry. He also makes it seem like Lono is his sidekick for this event, which I doubt was truly the case.
Enjoy (the fun starts on Page 2, with a guest post by Lono that is just...magnificent):
I will warn you, it reaches a point of redundancy that I'm not exactly proud of, but once you're in the zone, you're in the zone, naw'mean?
Wow, I somehow missed all of this. The post from Lono about Sproat screaming at Hare Krishnas is golden. And the fact that he kept calling people he knew name dropping you and trying to find out your identity.... LOL. That dude is off his rocker

My favorite is the repeated use of this:
This is one of those precious moments of ferocious paybacks, closest to the perfect scenario you made a move but it backfired. Magnified by the fact that you tried to project a persona of confrontation by subverting a poster who in fact you idolized.
Those are actually lyrics from the Company Flow song "Linda Trip." I find it hilarious that they've been repurposed for use as an internet diss for some reason. I think he used it other times, too.

Also, after rereading some old posts I'm convinced that the Inforooer that Sproat got into it with at Bonnaroo was Phi. I only say this because Phi and Sproat had a long-winded argument on here a while back, and haven't clashed since. Sproat makes mention that he agreed to never reveal the person involved as long as that person never said anything at him every again, so that fits. It's my best guess. If so, that's pretty crazy - I don't see eye to eye with Phi about Skrillex, but other than that he seems like a good dude.
Ya Phi may like Skrillex but at least he doesn't go on homicidal rants and try to fight Krishnas that may or may not be figments of Lono's imagination.

Sproat was in the inforoo chat the one time I logged in as were about 10 other people. That dude is psycho. He was saying he was going to beat the shiz out of some people and calling other people Jews. It was so random and insane. He only actually shut up when someone posted sproat's facebook page.

Oh yeah - I think I was there. He kept using the term "Yid" for Jewish people, and for some reason thought Flanzo was Jewish, and for some reason thought that was a bad thing. It weirded me out.
holy cow, that Wu Tang thread was incredible. definitely top 10 inforoo threads for me, up there with '2 guys and a 30 ft RV looking to party.'
and although it was very long ago, props to you Flanzo for at least trying to take the higher road. But I guess there is no reasoning with someone like Sproat.

I didn't go to my first Bonnaroo until I was in my 30s. Personally I don't think I could have handled going to such an event when I was in my 20s. It would have been too much for me to handle due to my many vices and weakness that I am still trying to overcome to this day.
Growing up in an area afflicted with urban decay, I was subjected to many things at a young age. Needless to say, I lived a fast life and grew up through applying trial and error to learn the ways of the world. There were many temptations thrown at me from "party favors" to loose women to gambling to even petty robberies and other silly crimes. Unfortunately, I succumbed to many of these societal ills and my life quickly spiraled out of control in my late teens. By 18, I had various juvenile offenses under my belt that I wasn't too proud of but it was the only way I knew how to live.
By 21, I was really playing with fire especially that any wrong move I made I could be tried and put away as an adult. It was a very tumultuous few years. During that time, I had accumulated huge gambling debts that I was running from not to mention the nasty habit of things I was putting into my system on a daily basis. I had truly become a bottom feeder and had no way out.
Then at 22, I had a spiritual epiphany. I started having random visions of my future on a semi-regular basis. It was a future filled with heartbreak and desolation. This wasn't the glorified life I had one dreamed of by any stretch of the imagination. So at that point in time, I took control of my life and made big changes that shaped my life as I know it now. An alternate future, a trail blazed because I didn't want to go down the road of my nightmare.
I started reading countless works of literature from Og Mandino and John Wooden to Ayn Rand and Noam Chomsky. I started communicating with people who were once in my position and gave them life advice from a experience perspective. I even created a semi-religion at one point and passed out mass literary pamphlets on it to gain the support of followers. I realized I had the gift of communication with others. Not only could I speak well but I could read people's body language and could relate to just about anyone. This led to various well-paying sales jobs that gave me disposable income I could never imagine in a million years. Then it all started to crumble again.
This new lifestyle led to even more temptations than ever before. But it was much more dangerous because instead of being around a bleek urban environment I was around rich and powerful people in suburban sprawl areas. Because these people worked legitimate jobs and had influence, their vices were socially acceptable to a degree. Thus I tricked myself into believing that it was ok to fall to these temptations. So I did; in a major way.
And then I bottomed out. I'll spare you the exact details, but let's just say I went bankrupt and found myself in various rehab situations. But the worst part, I partook in white collar crimes to feed my need for power and the trappings that went along with it. It wasn't a pretty sight. Then it hit me, I actually wanted my old life, as a teenager, back. As bad as that life was, I at least had more control of the situation.
Since then I have gotten my life back in order. I am much more humble these days. But I know the bottom can fall out at any point in time so I take less things for granted. With that said, I finally thought I could handle Bonnaroo. I felt my life was relatively on track and I knew I was mature enough to handle it. I was right, it was an absolute blast and I was able to deal with temptations in stride. Now there is no looking back.
By the way, I suggest you get an RV if you go to Bonnaroo. Old timers like us need our rest. You'll thank me for this.
