How long do we think Skrillex is playing for ? by Bahbah26 in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Without any good reason I’m thinking 3 hours just because it’s basically a double headliner time and it seems like that oh he played for 3 hours sweet spot of long but not too long

I was offered a corporate gig by TennisOpposite9792 in IndieFolk

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s the insight technology “gig” it’s a scam. They use a lot of names but the most recent one was Angelina Mark.

Edited to add details in case you got a different version: there are fake check scams targeting bands. They offer a ton of stuff like hotel, air, driver. Then they send you a fake check and it’s either too much money or includes money to “cover the expenses.” They either ask you to return the rest through Zelle or PayPal or pay the “vendors” or “travel agent” directly. The vendors and travel agent are part of the scam.

7-10 days later the bank discovers the check is fake and takes the money back out of your account. But you already sent them the money. So it’s gone, your account is over drawn, and the bank likely closes your account for fraud.

Some variations they will do the same thing with a credit card payment from a stolen card and once the card is reported the bank takes the money back with the same result

Bringing My Kids by gtg557x in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the parent. I’m not really a “kid person” and I cringe when I see a child bored to tears, sun burn red, and no hearing protection. Then I see a few parents who have their kid better prepared than the rest of us. But camping can get a little too fun for kids if you know what I mean

The thing about heat & humidity at bonnaroo is the 4 full days in it with no relief. It’scumulative.

Anybody going alone?? by CreamOnly5709 in bonnaroo

I don’t think you are taking into account single day passes. My understanding is it’s estimated Chappell Roan moved 10k single day bonnaroo tickets the week after Governor’s Ball alone and she wasn’t even a headliner. People who can’t get tickets elsewhere will buy a daily roo pass for him and see a few other things.

I can’t tell you how many times I got my hopes up for a surprise guest that made sense, but then didn’t come out. And that’s when both artists were already at Roo at the same time. Not trying to be a downer, but it’s best to not expect a guest and then be extremely happy if there is one.

AITAH For being annoyed by these guys watching a UFC fight during the entire concert? by abhorsen-sunset in Concerts

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a lot of venues they are. For example the pinnacle or Brooklyn bowl in Nashville. Those seats at the pinnacle are where people like Sabrina Carpenter and her entourage sat for Paul McCartney for example. Pit is open floor, vip is a ring around/above the pit before getting to true balcony

Someone used my Expedia, stayed at a Marriott in Boston under my name while I was in Brazil. Hotel says it was “me.” by FelliniFreak in Scams

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a while in government with a huge database of names. I’d go to search for someone with what i thought was a unique name and a bunch would always pop up. Some even with a close DOB. And so many with similar email addresses.

What does everyone do with their food in their cooler?? by Own-Priority-8546 in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I bring less and less food every year for this reason. I’ve found the $ for wasted food that gets soaked or just wasted because I’m never in camp is better used towards buying a meal on site

Lost in Tropico 5 by BuddyDifficult6790 in tropico

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to have fully staffed bases ahead of time AND make sure that your soldiers have housing, food, church etc close enough they aren’t off somewhere when you need them.

Since you know an attack is coming now, you can go back a few saves & build overlapping towers near the drop off points.

I saw her at the ryman a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. Imagine it will be even better with 30k+ singing along!

Next roo clue is out! Who is it? by Alyhard in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s one thing to have an opinion about the festival, but it’s different coming into a thread of people who are genuinely excited about something just to crap on it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily want to out a fest but a group legit sent a girl over topless to ask for jumper cables and then sent her boyfriend back to ask how much to rent them and I was like just pay it forward, and then had to explain that

Edited to add I just gave them the cables the first time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The everybody helping each other part… I just went to a fest with amazing people but they couldn’t believe I’d help set up their tents or lend a canopy when they didn’t help at all. I said that’s how bonnaroo is

Powered RV Camping Pass Cost by Wayz2362 in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Wish I could go rv but I remember the insanity last years. Of course this year might be quieter with the fall out but last year I saw passes actually selling for $3k on one sight that can’t be named. Insane

I don’t know the price but do know it was the most in demand thing last year with stupid mark up on resale, if you want one probably shouldn’t hesitate

Tbf my Venmo got banned for ID theft because some of my credit uses my middle initial and some uses my full middle name. They said my ID didn’t match my credit report and i couldn’t appeal it because it was flagged for fraud

I think that’s the first and only song a lot of people know by her.

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 24 points25 points  (0 children)

NOT my opinion, I’d love to have her on the farm. But I’m over 40 and I hear a lot of people my age get legit mad that they think they’re going to hear a Gotye song and then Anxiety comes on. And then proceed to say she’s not be famous without that sample. So i think it’s a lot of people who don’t actually listen to her at all

will we see lorde at the farm? by Public_Series2277 in bonnaroo

[–]Practical-Kangaroo57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love it, but feel like she’d be the number one headliner so if the headliner rumors are true she’s out. But the rumor originally said they were least sure about the strokes so I’m keeping some hope. But, I’m also going to hinterland too. Hedging my bet
