Dear friends, I wanted to let you know of a couple huge changes in my life.
First, my wife and I are pregnant again! She (Jocelyn) is about two months along. Don't know the sex yet, but when we do you will too. We are very happy.
Second, I'm going back to school. Seminary, actually. That's right, come this fall I'll be in New York working on my Masters in Divinity, on the path to being ordained as a priest in the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church. I know Inforoo isn't the most religious place, and for some of you this may sound strange, but for those of you who know me it probably won't come as much of a surprise. And yes, Orthodox priests can be married. Classes begin two days after our due date (if you guessed that this baby wasn't planned, you are correct). We'll definitely need your prayers and positive thoughts in order to stay sane.
Now, the bad news is that I almost definitely will not be making it to Bonnaroo this year. Obviously this is looking to be a busy summer for us, but the biggest problem is that we just don't have the money for even one ticket. I've been rather depressed about this; I've been to every Bonnaroo since 2004-- it's a tradition for me. Plus, it's the one time of year that I have to meet and spend time with you all face-to-face. The fact that Phish, one of my all-time favorite bands, will most likely be headlining is not helping matters. I still can't even imagine missing out on that. But I don't mean to start a pity party. I just wanted to let y'all know that I know Bonnaroo 2009 will be an excellent time for you, and I hope you make it the best it can be. I'll still be around here, throwing in my two cents whenever nobody wants them and being the snobbiest of music snobs, but the truth is I probably won't be around much after the summer and I don't expect to be able to go to Bonnaroo again. It's sad that I'd be leaving behind that part of my life, but better things are ahead I do believe. So to avoid getting too sentimental, I'll just say that I wanted to share the good news with you all and also let you know that I hope you have a great time this year. And if anyone winds up with an extra ticket... well, let me know.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

Congratulations. More congratulations. And bummer. But if missing roo is the worst of your problems you aren't doing so bad. Where in NY are you going to be going to seminary?
If the funds are the only problem and not the timing and busy schedule, I'd be willing to toss $20 in the pot to help buy a ticket for ya. I know we did this last year for a Inforoo regular. We could do the Paypal thing if anyone is interested.
I don't want to start making Inforoo a place where people come to beg but we all know Steve a regular Rooster so I'm in if anyone else is interested.

Agreed, I would be down with something like that. Congrats on all the good news!

Me too! ('specially since Boz and I are the regulars that benefitted last year) I think you need to be there if you think this may be the last Bonnaroo you will attend!
Oh and congrats! On the baby and the new direction in life!

I was thinking the same thing. I wish I could just buy a ticket for you guys but I'm not that rich right now I would be happy to contribute though if somebody sets something up
Well Steve it's no surprise that Info-Roosters are caring and generous people. List us you Paypal account ID (or PM us if you prefer) and let's get this started. Just be sure and let everyone know when you have the required funds.
And hey, you can add us to your prayer list in return.

count us as 2 of the 30 be glad to chip in this year... congrats on child congrats on school and if we get you there i think you can return the favor by leading us in a prayer at the brunch... cause none of us are angels and we all could use a little spiritualizing every now and then
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

Congratulations,
Sounds like the god, the world, a higher power has plans for you by adding a child to your life. The child will make you appreciate how fragile the world in which we inhabit really is.
The connection between Roo and nearly anything else does not surprise me in the least.
Seminary and a growing family is cool. Never a calling in my life, but I have suspicions that my son may end up somewhere in the ministry. He has an amazing sense of spirituality.
And, I'm willing to throw money towards you being able to attend. I'll consider it a 'random act of kindness" for someone who will be working to help people. Like others wrote, drop me a PM or post information and we will get things going for you.

Wow, I'm blown away. To be honest, the thought did occur to me that y'all might offer to help, but I never would have expected this kind of a response. Let me just say that Inforoo has taught me as much about love and charity as any religious institution. The truth is that even if a ticket were covered I don't know if I could make it. There's taking off work, the costs of moving in July, etc. My wife and I still have some planning and discussing to do. I'd love to accept this generous offer, but if I can, let me get back to y'all in a week or so.
And thanks also for all the congrats and good wishes. Like I said: Blown away!
Steve - just let us know - Inforoo is a great bunch - if it had not been for this crew - Boz and I would not have been there last year - I am more then happy to help out someone else in need!
You could work the parking at Bonnaroo, I could see if I can squeeze you into my group this year. Free ticket plus you'll get paid about $250 for the two nights/days you choose to work. That might help ease the burden. Plus, free travel from Philadelphia to Roo, the only catch is you have to find your way home. Let me know

Hmm...... that does sound pretty awesome. I could actually break even on my expenses if I did that. Manchester's got a Greyhound station, right?
