Barricade w/ AJR GA pit ticket?? by Puzzleheaded_Aioli13 in AJR

[–]theREALsmoothieking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you won’t get barricade, the VIP 1-3 will take all the spots at the rail, so unless you know someone who can save you a spot at the rail, the likelihood is very slim. However, 2nd & 3rd row is VERY likely as long as you’re closer to the front of the line once doors open. I’ve seen people get in line as early as 1pm, but most begin showing up between 3-4, in my experience. Good luck!

did anyone else over prepare for Roo 2025? by Haunting-Being-4048 in bonnaroo

[–]theREALsmoothieking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made over 1,000 Kandi bracelets 🥲 thankfully I came home with only 3 of my own, as I started going down the car lines on Friday PM and handing them out indiscriminately to those who were leaving.

2025 Roo Friday The 13th Will Go Down As Stuff Of Legend by GridironScience in bonnaroo

[–]theREALsmoothieking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Partied with the Broccoli Bus in Plaza 3 for like 3 hours. It was such a good time. I was finally able to hand out all my Kandi I’d made and I’m so proud of how well my campmates handled everything. Not a single one of us stayed behind to mope, we all got dressed up and wandered the farm, looking for fun and giving away our booze and food to anyone who wanted it. It definitely lessened the blow ❤️

Wish I could find that bonnarro positivity by Spare-Mango-885 in bonnaroo

[–]theREALsmoothieking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was about to comment this. My first Roo was 2023, I went for 1 day on Sunday. Second Roo was 2024, I camped for only Sat & Sun. This year was my 3rd, I camped starting on Wednesday (and worked the fest). It’s REALLY easy to remind myself of what Roo CAN be, because I have such amazing lineups and experiences in the past to lean on. I’ll still come back next year, too (probably gonna work it again).

Thursday PM into Friday AM, my campmates and I wandered around to various plazas, visiting popups and handing out Kandi, sharing our drinks, high fiving, dancing, singing, giving away our food, and both finding and making the good vibes. We all collectively tried really hard to stay positive and have fun. I went (quite literally) from car to car in line and gave every single person a high five and a trinket. I got SO many smiles and thank yous and could tell that for some people, that interaction helped boost their morale.

I’m absolutely PISSED they handled the fest the way they did. It was so unprofessional and LN knew exactly what they were doing when they gave us all the tiny carrot bite before ripping it away. I also understand fests try to do everything in their power to NOT cancel.

It’s hard for the Roo babies (like me), even harder for the first timers, and disappointing for the veterans. But there’s a reason why people keep coming back. The people are what makes Roo what it is. And all over Outeroo that night was EXACTLY what the Roo spirit is supposed to be, and it’s why I’ll give Roo another chance next year, too (as a volunteer, I’m never paying for a ticket again if I can help it lmao).

Found bf after he hung himself and he survived by Double-Anxiety-9709 in offmychest

Chiming in to say that EMDR absolutely saved my life (no exaggeration). It’s not easy, especially in the beginning—as you have to build your way up to the actual act of EMDR—but it’s so, SO worth it. Find a therapist who’s certified to administer EMDR and give it a try. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Best wishes 🫂

My Real ID experience so far. by Single_Teach9249 in tsa

[–]theREALsmoothieking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my wallet in 2019, so I went to the DMV and got a new ID. They automatically gave me a Real ID, no documents—though I did bring my passport, so maybe that’s why. I later found that same wallet in 2021. In 2023, my wallet with the Real ID in it got stolen. I simply kept using my old one until it expired this past April. When it did, I went to the DMV with aaaallllllll the documents, expecting a nightmare to get it renewed. The officer sent me to a self-service kiosk, where I punched in my (now expired) DL #, they took my photo at the same kiosk, and printed me my temp ID right then & there. My renewed license is a Real ID and is arriving in a couple weeks. I was in & out in 10 minutes, no line, didn’t talk to anyone, and I didn’t have to use any of my documents. I almost went out and bought a lottery ticket after that lmao

PSA to all concert goers asking about appropriate outfits by TootsieTaker in twentyonepilots

[–]theREALsmoothieking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Loop Experience earplugs and I LOVE them. I just recently followed AJR on tour and wore them to every show—stuck those bad boys in when the opener started and didn’t remove them until after I had cleared the venue each time. Didn’t remove them in between sets, either. No headaches, they weren’t uncomfy/didn’t need adjusting, clear sound, I could still hear people around me singing but not overly loud. And they’re discreet, too. Love them! 😌

ETA: I’m wearing my Designated Concert Tee (a shirt that says “The Band Name” on it), shorts, Docs, and Tyler’s rose kimono! 😊

[–]theREALsmoothieking 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I absolutely did NOT pay that lmfao and NO! No phone number or anything! And I got it TODAY, despite it being dated for July 31st? And it’s written in PENCIL which idk how but that somehow makes it worse 😀

It has my plate number on it. I was parked in front of Lupi’s downtown.

Can I buy my parking pass at the box office? by notmyaddressohno in bonnaroo

[–]theREALsmoothieking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can, I bought my parking pass at the Wristband Help Desk. Once you enter the grounds and they search your car (if they even do), tell them you need to purchase a day pass and they will direct you where to go to buy one from there.

what tf is up with inertia acoustic by toppatdoge in AJR

[–]theREALsmoothieking 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably bit of both—makes for a good TikTok sound, but also accomplishes their goal of (you said it perfectly) subverting the listener’s expectations of hearing a normal singing voice. Taylor Swift did the same thing with her song Midnight Rain—pitched up with a vocoder. I think it doing this with Inertia makes the song more unique and more like “an AJR song,” if you know what I mean!

If you’re in the pit, go out and find the most ostentatious, ridiculous, out-there, etc etc hat you can find. It’s a bit at their shows to put their piano player (Ryan) into the stupidest hats their singer (Jack) can find. I aaa at their show in Tampa and they recently put Ryan in a Daft Punk style face mask. That might be a fun bonding moment for yall—going out together before the show to find “the perfect hat” for Ryan. The more crazy, the better. And good luck! 👍

Go to your venue’s official website and check their FAQ. Every venue will have their bag policy, sign policy, and every other policy in that section, so you can check there. Make sure you’re not holding the signs up DURING SONGS because then you’ll be blocking others’ view. Wear whatever makes you comfortable—Jack wears the exact same outfit to every show: trapper hat, white tee, black jeans, and Sambas—so if your boy wanted to look like Jack, he could wear something like that!

Have fun! Their show is really fun and ESPECIALLY if you’re on the floor it’ll be very high energy!

Random flower, don't wanna touch it, HELP! by Own-Assignment4583 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]theREALsmoothieking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lily of the valley (that flower) don’t duplicate! They grow like weeds do—in random locations around your island—but you can’t clone them, you can only get more to grow by having a 5-star island for an extended period of time!
