So I'm super excited about being in VIP again, and one of my favorite parts besides the sweet A/C bathrooms and free food was the VIP preparty, and I can't wait to get our uber special private concert. Any ideas or wishes for who the band will be this year? If I can remember through the haze of all the free sweetwater I drank, it was Dr. Dog last year. I'm hoping for something a little more acoustic this year like Donavon Frankenreiter, that would be killer.
So lets not let everyone think the VIPers are a bunch of sticks in the mud that can't quite hang anymore....lets put some party back in this thread.
I plan on playing prince charle's favorite game in VIP.
i hope this year they take into account the exceedingly loud volume used during dr dog and the comedians. blah. way too loud for what should be a social event. acoustic eddie vedder would be pretty sweet
Robert Randolph would be awesome but doubtful. Or how about having Chris Rock come over and make fun of us all for paying three times as much for a few free beers and all you can eat cream corn (the actual corn).
Oh yeah, I forgot there were comedians there last year. I remember some red headed chick now, and the speakers were turned up so loud, it was like nails on a chalkboard. It's all coming back, that's why I got so drunk, and the fact that I thought I could make up my 600 bucks in about 100 gulps of beer. You can't shame me for trying.

that would be stellar...
the comedians they had last year left something to be desired.
LOL...
Oh! You got salad! Where from? SO... WHERE'S EVERYONE FROM? Huh? My hat is red? I'm not wearing a hat! HOW ABOUT THAT AIRLINE FOOD? YUCK! No! Your SALAD! Where is it? WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE CONVENIENCE STORE GUYS? Yeah! It's salad! It's good! You get any?
I didn't want to start a new thread for it, so I'll stick this here. I've seen some wondering about the how the catering will compare to last year...I don't know that it'll be the same, but from the Tennessean website:
Whitlock also operates My Food Crush Catering, which was the VIP caterer for Bonnaroo — the huge summer music festival held in Manchester, Tenn. — last year and will be the exclusive VIP caterer for Bonnaroo 2008.
So there you go. If someone else has already posted about it and I missed it, I apologize for the repeat.
Wow, that was a good find. The food last year was actually pretty good. The pain in the ass part was just getting it. What a total cluster F they had last year with lines, and seating and everything. Hopefully that will be solved this year.

That's what I'm hoping. Since they did last year, hopefully they'll have a better idea what works well for this year. Maybe people won't have the problem with getting new food out that I heard. I'm a big girl. I wants muh fud.

so how free to move about are you in VIP it would be nice to have a camp inforoo in VIP.
You are totally free to move about. Plenty of room.
I forgot about the comedian as well. We were throwing light up frisbee at the time, which we will probably be doing again this year. Come join us if you see us. That is about all the organizational skills I have.
Well I dont mind doing a lot of the organizing work. So who is down for a camp inforoo in VIP
We did try this last year but checking in at the HIE was a cluster and so was parking in the camping area so it didn't work out very well. Your success will depend on how well you can organize people to get together at HIE at the correct time. Last year everyone just wanted to get inside once they got their wrist bands and parking stickers. Plus cell service was a problem once people overloaded the circuits so we couldn't contact people very well either. Just some FYI points.

im allll for a vip camp inforoo. im kindof going by myself still. daear is getting me at the airport but is (i presume?) meeting up with all her other friends in GA so who knows if she will even be around all that often. be that as it may, ill be around. and i plan on being out of control the whole time. so, saddle up partner.
I dunno...this'll be the first year my camp is away from my peeps'. My friend doesn't get up until 11 (I don't know how the hell she does it), so I'll probably just meet them in Centeroo instead of trekking out there in the day. Who knows what night brings, right?
I'll be disappointed if I don't spend any time around my VIP camp, though. I got a carpet just for Roo. Do you think you'll camp with me, effin? Anybody who can wedge in there is welcome.
Well I am going to use a 6' weather balloon and several mylar blankets to make a psychedelic faux hot air balloon, at night I will put glowsticks on it. Apparently it can lift two pounds. So anyway even if we dont come in together it can be a good point of reference to meet up at.
We are down for camping with as many ppl as possible. I was with ecupirate last year and groovelogic. (hopefully she's show up here soon). This year we are with Bamabelle, Cajuninsaudi , The Druid and Sassbox, for sure. (and ecupirate if he'll have us!) We have a 12x14 E-Z Up and groovy rugs made from recycled plastic.
If everyone can be a bit patient we can do it! Last year we had like 2 spaces between us and the next camp.
I liked our spot. We were about half way b/t the food tent and the arch. The lights didn't bother us at all. I know others who got stuck way back by the entrance and they had dustaroo all weekend, among other unpleasant things. We are going to try for the same general area this year.
I bet if we just got our wristbands we could go to Wal-mart maybe and have inforoo caravan in. This is my first year VIP so if that is logistically naive let me know .
