I know we've discussed Twitter elsewhere and somewhere there's a thread where people were posting their Twitter usernames, but I thought it might be handy to have a big list of the people who are planning to Twitter from Bonnaroo. It seemed to work well for some people last year as far as organizing meetups and sharing info about awesome shows. And for me being stuck at home I really enjoyed hearing a bit about what was going on on the farm.
So if you're planning to send any updates to Twitter from Bonnaroo, post your username on Twitter and maybe some sort of idea of what you'll be tweeting (or at least how often you expect to be tweeting, so people can decide whether or not they want to be getting your updates via text message.)
I'm plasticpepper on Twitter too (twitter.com/plasticpepper), and I'm hoping to do a fair amount of tweeting from the farm - nothing crazy but at least a few tweets each day about awesome things that happen, great shows, funny quotes I overhear, etc. And if anyone needs anything that I might be able to help with, feel free to send me a direct message so I'll get it by text even if I'm not following you.

i don't like twitter yet but i'm sure it's possible to happen one day, i first started with myspace but have moved on and basically just use facebook, i'm generally late on things like these
but since i'm covering the festival, i'll be updating my blog daily, i can't afford a blackberry or anything like that right now so i'm taking my laptop, probably put updates on the blog (www.brokenmic.com), twitter and facebook, although updating on the blog alone will update on twitter and facebook
the plan is to update in the mornings, everything thats happening or has happened (ex. fri morning write about what happened on thurs, on thurs afternoon i may update the whole traffic situation, getting in, setting up camp, walking around centeroo, depends what i'll have time for, and probably mention quickly who i'm seeing thurs night or something)
I'll probably be Tweeting a bit from the Roo. Like Pepper said, it won't be too much, just a few things here and there that I find interesting or useful.
Dude, I seriously can't concentrate on anything but bonnaroo right now. . .It's to the point where I'm poking myself in the eye with foreign objects. . . I think I just need to be sedated until Tuesday. . . . Dystopian Dream
We'll see how this goes. I'm planning on using this as a surrogate facebook update, just updating on awesome or unusual moments at Bonnaroo. Hoping I don't turn into those people that OT's ("Getting ready to brush my teeth.") or gets all emo about it ("Chris is thinking...").

I'll be twittering from Roo!
At first I decided to do it for personal reasons, but I'm a journalist in the St. Louis metro area in Illinois so I realized I could be doing double duty and updating for my reader audience as well.
Mostly just about anything neat that I see. I'm setting up Twicpic so I can post photos from my phone via pic message. It'll be cool. Check me out at twitter.com/lauranette
I am going to tweet from Roo and would love to do tweetpic if I can figure it out. If I have email on my phone I can just email my pic to my tweetpic account? Is that how that works?
I'm still trying to learn and get the hang of Twitter. But, I've installed the best BlackBerry Twitter application, based on reviews (UberTwitter), and I will be tweeting like a mad-man -- posting pictures, reviews, interesting sights, etc. twitter.com/jefflhunt
i am @joshuanordman and will be twittering for my friends... and will be checking out what others at roo are twittering to make sure i don't miss anything amazing
I'll be "twittering" from my blackberry. Follow twitter.com/bonnarooTN they normally will re-tweet everything that has #Bonnaroo in it. Can be a lot sometimes. I am at www.twitter.com/Tyler_Geren .
I dusted off my Twitter account and plan to use it and my Facebook to update on Bonnaroo happenings. Since I live close and will be coming home every night, I'll probably post once or twice a day (morning and evening) and maybe upload a pic or two each day. If you follow me, I'll follow you in return.
i'll probably be doing tweets every hour or so depending on how much battery i have left. i'll talk about special guests during sets, special songs, crowd reactions and general craziness.
i usually tweet a lot during shows, for example:
"karen o must have incredible bo, everytime she raises her arms ppl go crazy." "unfortunately, i left the cursive show like a lincoln park kid leaves a cubs game."
I am going to tweet from Roo and would love to do tweetpic if I can figure it out. If I have email on my phone I can just email my pic to my tweetpic account? Is that how that works?
I haven't read through and someone probably answered this, but if you have a Twitter account use it to sign into Twitpic and grab the e-mail address off the settings page. Just text pics there.
