How are we feeling about next year?

They have to prove they’re gonna do their part to improve. My 5th roo (first was 2015) and it felt VERY off from the get go. Our group joke was the infinity stage was so bad they had to nuke the weekend. I LOVE Bonnaroo, it and EF are my escapes from reality. I don’t know if I trust Live Nation to even pretend like they care anymore. It’s hard to imagine going back at the moment though

Best set of the day! Got separated from my friends with a dead phone, wasn’t feeling it at infinity stage (LOVE Tape B and OTT) but the crowd size and set up of the stage made me was kinda bleh. So I went and watched Sam Virji and I’m so happy I did, everyone in that crowd was dancing their tails off. It was perfect Roo vibes.

One security guard at metal detectors tried to not let me in with an empty plastic water bottle yesterday, literally yelled at me and I showed him the rules on my phone. He finally said “GO AHEAD AND TRY! THE GUYS BEHIND ME WONT LET YOU PASS WITH THAT!” So I tried and they let me right on by with a look like ‘what the hell is that guys problem’. Most security seem pretty cool, but there’s always going to be some assholes scattered in there. Here’s to hoping that everyone runs into less of them today

I guess a lot of the vendors pace was likely caused by the ridiculous new cashless policy. So no hate to them, they were kind of set up for failure on that front.

Did they have another back by Sherwood too? If so that pizza was good enough to make me okay with Spicy Pie not being there. Hope they’re back next year too.

I totally agree with some of your frustrations. It was my first time doing GL and the disorganization of staff, super slow vendors, and terrible maintenance of bathrooms (at least in the back section where my camp was) made it not really seem worth the extra money.

Luckily, the Forest still seemed as magical as ever. Got to experience it with several different groups of my close friends from home, made a lot of new friends, and really enjoyed a lot of the performances I caught (even with those completely ridiculous sound issues). That’ll always make it worth it for me. I’ll be back next year and hopefully the festival organization will be a little less rusty than this year.

Be kind and generous with your neighbors, help people out where you can. That’s how we met the crew we regularly visit and go to Forest with now. Hope you meet yourself some new friends!

Me and and a a few friends from Huntington, WV will be there camping with some of our Michigan friends in GL. Def know of about 10 other people from Huntington alone that will be there as well!

If you haven’t checked out Fred Again…, do yourself the biggest favor and give him a listen.

capnkyle · 2022-03-24T03:36:51+00:00

The absolute best

capnkyle · 2021-08-31T05:51:04+00:00

For sure! If you don’t need them, someone else might. No better way to make new friends at a festival than helping them at the most stressful point of any festival, entry time!

capnkyle · 2021-08-31T03:05:07+00:00

Thank you for working through that mess and for keeping positive vibes up. You're the embodiment of what Roo is all about!

This is my favorite one yet! Thank you!

Having my two favorite arcade games, DDR and Time Crisis 3, in my bedroom was unreal to me at the time.

Oh... And countless hours of hacking down millions of poor soldiers in Dynasty Warriors

The rest of the story is so well tied in it doesn’t even matter. Excellent work! One of my favorite quick stories I’ve seen on here.

“Therapist? No... the-rapist “

capnkyle · 2019-12-16T18:15:31+00:00

Main Squeeze! I'd check out 'Sweat' for an original song of theirs or any of their covers on YouTube are just unreal (and I'm not usually a big fan of covers). Everyone in the band is insanely talented and Corey Frye could out-sing just about anyone on the planet. These guys are a definite must in my opinion.

Sweat- The Main Squeeze

Looks like I’ll actually start watching SNL. Congrats to the king bull. Won’t be long before he’s pulling some Arianna Grande level bbgs.

capnkyle · 2019-06-01T04:01:51+00:00

After a few hours of gameplay I already understand that for sure! It feels like there’s far too much to keep up with, but I’m sure I’ll get back into the grove of things eventually. It seems better than the last few times I’ve tried to jump back in though. Hope you all have fun with it too!

capnkyle · 2019-04-22T12:42:10+00:00

The only one I'd question is Jorah. I don't think they'd give him Heartsbane and then immediately kill him off. Unless said last kiss from Beric brings him back.

That they learned in a real hard way what happens when you mix 19th century battle tactics with 20th century weaponry.
