For all those prognosticating about VIP parking, methinks this year will be very different. First, last year was such a disaster in terms of RV/camping mix plus the lines that it's bound to be different. But more than that I have a hunch why the RV price went up: electric hookups.

OHHHHH MAN, that would be so freakin awesome! I hope that several things in VIP are improved from last year. Replacing generator buzz with portable stereos would up the atmosphere in VIP by leaps and bounds.

Some people arrive on Wednesday, but you can't get enter the VIP camping area until after 10 am Thurday. We arrived last year at 9 am and were parked in an excellent spot (of course, they are all pretty excellent in VIP).
Generator noise is not that bad - depending on your proximity to a generator. Last year RVs were mixed with tents. The year before, they were seperated. Who knows what they will this time.

Have fun!!!!!
Last year they were mixed due to a huge snafu. Normally they are separated.

I hope so, this would kick ass so hard
VIP at 10KLF has limited electrical hook ups. We are doing that this year too. 10KLF charges 50.00 for that hook up. I would be willing to pay that for the same thing at Roo. Not needing a generator would be so sweet!
Second Roo for me, but first VIP. I'll be bringing 5 Roo virgins (maybe more) with me this time. They all balked on the extra $$$ for the VIP, but I told them that they just needed to shell out. Waling 30 minutes back and forth to camp last year took its toll on me.

Hey,
I have not seen a thread regarding food in the VIP tent(s). I was thinking about it after reading some "band riders" on thesmokinggun.com. I remember producing concerts in college and having to provide some pretty ridiculous stuff for bands.
Back to food - I hope something more than cold cuts and cheese plates. I've seen lots of references to the "corn", are we talking mid-western agricultural products, or a distant south american varietal.

The latter. The VIP tent has a variety of food, hot and cold. Salads, Burgers, Fish, Veggies, BBQ, Chips -- along those lines.

will VIP tix still be available in May? i'm thinking of going VIP if i can i afford it then.
They announced last year that VIP was sold out on April 30th. Of course, that was with the Police headlining. There was some theory last year that the Police would bring an older, VIP ticket buying crowd. Who knows if that was true. I didn't notice a difference. (Although it was pretty calm for our naptime during the Police.)
Can it come any faster? Seems like it was just december
If this was the sex at bonnaroo thread I would probably make an awful sex joke insulting myself and finish it off with something alot like thats what she said last time she was laying like a dead starfish. ZINGER
But I honestly came to last years VIP thread like every day, and there was always something new and exciting to read. I guess there were a lot more new people to VIP last year, and now we kinda know the ropes. But come on folks, lets get this thing rolling.
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.
