Yup, yup, yup and now I feel bad cause the guy probably won't ever come back, he might have been a really nice guy who just needed the support of people he thought he might get it from....he might have stuck around and we could have all benefitted from his presence...but no, now we all look mean.

that was my main issue with this whole thread. bonnaroo means "a really good time", and this sure as heck doesn't portray that image. people come here to talk about a festival they adore and music they love, and hopefully be introduced to a welcoming, heady community. i think it's so distasteful to treat others poorly for absolutely no reason other than you're a little annoyed that a thread was in the wrong forum.
in any case, i'm over it. i hope that guy comes back.
^i totally agree. and purplefuzzystuff, im pretty sure that website is right. i'm not guaranteeing that the link works....but try typing in www.stacyrichardsonphotography.com/blog
help a fellow roo-goer win himself and his bride-to-be a free photographer for their wedding, which they specifically scheduled around bonnaroo this year!
So sad the dude deleated his account on a bunch of rude quacking coments.
Seriously. People deleting half posts about 'banging your wife' Fuck that and fuck you. You know who you are. Had that been said to me I would have deleted my account as well.

^^Well I'm glad somebody knows how to contribute to a thread after personally declaring it spam anyways. Perhaps you should look at your own posts and tell yourself the same thing

well i voted for him as well.
i dont see what the big deal was that he put it here.
i mean seriously who cares? if you dont like the post click out of it. i mean what it took 15 seconds to read the initial post? you lost 15 seconds of your day, big deal.
^Well the big deal is as we get closer to Bonnaroo every single person with something to sell or something to advertise will come on here and put their stuff in forum with the most traffic. Inforoo is laid out the way it is for a reason. Also I still think anyone should read the rules before posting. It is not like I go to someones house and take my dinner to the bathroom to eat it. I agree he seems like a nice guy and they area cute couple, and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this.

well the link said the contest was closed but i voted anyway .... i didnt read the original post, but looking at the responses, the roo board was a little harsh on the dude .... here is the happiest time of his life, he asked for a little help, and people dogged him .... sad .... cr****
I deleted my previous posts b/c a dude was talking about balling my fiance...I mean really. If I upset anyone I apologize again. I am truly humbled by everyone's positive responses so far. If it pleases everyone, may I offer to change the subject and ask for ideas for wedding songs? Or would I be better off going to another forum?
So far I think I am going to loop the theme music from Darjeeling Unlimited that MMJ used last before their set @ the farm and then transition that into Daft Punk's Something about us...anyone have any ideas???

i can't say i'd have any specific suggestions for you without really knowing you and your fiancee's tastes, but i think you're on the right track.
i do have a little suggestion, though. one of the best weddings i ever went to gave out mix cd's as their party favors. it was the same set they had playing at the reception. it included neil young, radiohead, phish, cat stevens...all kinds of goodness. they had specially printed labels with their initials on them for the cd's. i thought it was a great way to have people remember your wedding for a long time.
We thought of that b/c it really personalizes everything...you could even make liner notes and give out some thank yous...but it is tedious and time consuming work. But a really awesome idea nonetheless. I think since we still have a lot to do and so little time, we may give out tree saplings or seeds. LAME but easy to do.

i think those are a cute idea, too. do you have any friends that maybe you could recruit to do the burning, though? i'm not sure what your guest list looks like, but if you divided up the number of cd's between 2 or 3 folks, you'd just have to give them the playlist and they could maybe crank out the albums in time? just a suggestion.
sounds like you've got some good stuff going on, though. good luck with the photography contest!
GOOD LUCK MAN!!! don't let the douchebags on this forum ruin your day or anything. You weren't trying to sell anything, or scam anyone out of money, you just wanted a shot at savin some dough for a nice wedding..nothing wrong wit that!! some people here are so asinine...don't let them represent the views of the forum as a whole though. I know I haven't been here too long, only about a year or so, but most of the people on here are really nice. I think you should stick with inforoo, but i wouldn't blame you if you left bc of that shot at your wife...that was waaaaay out of line. but, it is the internet, and some people grow a bigger set of balls when they can talk sh/t on a keyboard. and oh yea, congrats on gettin married dude!
I voted for you two. You're a cute couple and I wish you all the best for the future. Your story reminds me of my parents' story - they were bankers back in the day and they worked in the same cubicle. They really couldn't stand each other at first, but over time began to fall for one another, and they've now been together for almost 30 years.
As a side note, I think it's really awesome and admirable that your fiance works in special education - Lord knows we definitely need as many teachers in that field as we can get. Have some karma, and I hope you stick around Inforoo!
I'm glad you came back! The wedding music sounds awesome. Are you going to use your iPod for your wedding tunes. That is what we did for our wedding. We made a special wedding playlist and played it over the sound system. That CD idea is really good, hippieinaustin. I wish I would have thought of that when I got married. The seed or saplings are cool too. We gave out bubbles....kind of ho hum and ordinary.
It is not like I go to someones house and take my dinner to the bathroom to eat it.
You can come to my house and eat dinner in the bathroom Jess!
I once lived in a slummy apartment in college where the kitchen and the bathroom were the SAME room... my girlfriend would be cooking on one side of the room, I'd be showering on the other, or ... though we tended to actually eat in the OTHER room, ahhh, to be young and in love, the things you do to be together , all our inhibitions went out the window in THAT apartment to be sure ... but still, one of the BEST memories of my life
Anyways, sorry, memory sidetrack... best of luck to 'ya Gabe and Jeff, hope y'all win!!!
