It's the first time in five years that I'm missing Roo. I was fine with my decision up until this past weekend when I realized that last year at this time I was packing and getting ready for Roo. Now I'm kind of bummed that I'm missing it. To try to get my mind off it, I'm going to an arts fair in Mankato on Saturday. Along with the art displays, there are local bands playing during the day and Mason Jennings is headlining in the evening. I missed Mason Jennings at Roo in 08 due to conflicts so it will be nice to finally get to see him.

I've been looking at Stubhub every day this week following Radiohead @ Tinley Park prices for this Sunday. Still not sure if I'm going, but it's the closest I'd get to Bonnaroo.
Wishing I was there again right now, but at least I have a busy weekend. It's Grand Prix weekend (F1) here in Montreal which brings a huge amount of tourists and the Beer Festival is on all weekend. Saturday Osheaga is throwing a block party which should be good times and next week I'm going to Foster the People, Deer Tick and Radiohead. Nothing beats going to Bonnaroo but at least I have lots of distraction.
It's not that, believe me. Just too much going on. You bet your ass I'll be back.
Same here. I just had to make some choices the last couple of years on travel. Beirut, Belize and Seoul have taken me away for a long time. (but they've all been amazing)

Now that this week hit I remembered why I feel so guilty taking off work for Bonnaroo. The shlt has hit the fan and it's so overwhelmingly busy here. It seems as soon as june hits every year it gets like this. Honestly, even if I had a Roo ticket and plans I'd have to have serious second thoughts about going. I work for a small business and being short by just 1 person hits everyone really hard. TBH I don't think I'll be able to go to Roo at any point while holding this job. But I don't expect that to be for much more than another year or 2.
Last year at this time I spent the whole weekend drinking heavily and watching the webcast, while obsessively reading tweets and being bummed I wasn't there.
This year I'm visiting my girlfriend in Orlando. I don't think I'll watch much of the webcast. I get to make up for it a little bit next Tues and Wed though, when I get to see Puscifer then Childish Gambino in a nice 1-2 punch
Probably watching the webcasts much of the weekend and doing yardwork, but tomorrow night I'm going to see a fan-freaking-tastic local band, The Galt Line, with much of my former Roo Crew.
Babysitting Friday night and watch some of the webcast, I'm sure! Saturday, there's a bluegrass/beer fest that we'll be hiking over to. Mmm. Brewgrass. Sunday, manning a little promo booth for a few hours at a local fair/festival thing for my company. Full weekend, I suppose...
but mainly I'll just be pretending that I'm not bummed about missing Roo.
I hadn't thought about Bonnaroo until yesterday. Then the regret started to hit me. This is only the second Roo I'm skipping in the past 8 years.
I've hatched a last minute plan to wait until Friday or Saturday and try to buy a ticket on craigslist for super cheap. I'll only go if someone is willing to part with a ticket for $25 or so.
If anybody knows of someone wanting to unload a ticket last minute please let me know!!!
Webcasts throughout the weekend, BBQ on Saturday, strawberry picking on Sunday and taking kids to the grad school alma mater for the first time (Notre Dame)
And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts

Doing tons of work...which is actually cool because I'm building my own business and working on exciting contracts. Headed to a crazy progressive dinner tonite. Tomorrow, going to a baby celebration (not really a shower...it's coed with lots of cocktails) for one of my oldest friends. So...a great weekend, but I still feel sad not to be Rooin!
