Going again this year, but VIP is not worth it and will do the GA Nashville shuttle on Saturday/Sunday.
I didn't tell this story, but I got a citation last year for selling to a minor. It was Sunday afternoon. I wasnt even running a register iPad. I was hanging in the back stocking beer and ice. The girl running the register has worked with me several years, so I trusted her on the IDs. As I was stocking beer, she would occasionally call out an order. So I would grab what she needed and just set it in the bar in front of her to give to the customer. I have these two cats come up to me and say come here. Told me I sold to underage. WTF. I said look man, I ain't running a cashbox. I ain't slinging these drinks. They said, "Nah, but you placed the beer in reaching area of the minor." I just shut up. Fucking Coffee County ABC. Money making scheme sending minors to every tent at Roo. And it wasn't until they got their liquor license to sell that Bacardi in the Oasis that they were allowed to do that shit. Because it was beer only. Been slinging beers up there for 7 years. Anyways, my boss got me out of it. The attorneys worked a deal with the DA to make a $500 donation to a foundation in Coffee County. I'm sure that is what the court cost would have been. They were doing the same shit at Exit 111.
I know it's a pipe dream, but give me Billy Strings in that 1a-3a slot on Saturday night that the jam bands usually get at That Tent. Oysterhead would be too big to play in a tent, right?
They still not do late night Which act on Saturday? I haven’t been since 16 but that was so stupid and frustrating having that stage empty after Saturday headliners. Would be perfect spot for Oysterhead. Also praying they put Bassnectar on What but I know it won’t happen. Him and Skrillex basically ruined every tent show the nights they played Which. Why is Friday so stacked? Praying there is no conflict in Primus, RTJ, and Glass. If I can see those full sets plus Tool, Friday alone is worth price of admission. The talking heads thing could be cool and I just discovered Marc Rebellet. Miley could be fun and I’ve had good times at Bassnectar before, It just sucks this is all happening Friday. The only Saturday acts I really care about are Oysterhead and King Gizz so that’ll be a fun day to get weird.
They have always done late night Which on Saturday. It's Thursday they don't open Which. Edit add on: they didn't do a late night Which on Saturday in 2016. They have since then.
Leaving that Bassnectar show 2015 is one of my worst memories of Roo. Walked what seemed like 2 hours to get from Which to Pod 1 in flip flops with bad foot pain. Had to detour behind the What and everything.
Got my RV secured today. Never done RV before but being a mid 30s dad can really take a toll these days. Now the long 5 month wait.
The game changer is how close you are to Centeroo. Hopefully I'm camping in VIP this year. Met some folks we camped beside last year. They say me and friend are in again. Constant group chat going. As long as I don't have to sleep in the Broo'rs tent. That shit did catch up to me. But I'm fat and out of shape. Time to change that. Hydrate now
Fell asleep during JRAD last year while being fairly close. My sister said people stepped on me constantly either dancing or walking by. I had no idea.
It was my worst year since 2015in that regard. The year I had to leave everyday to get a new wristband. I have to get my power supply ready so I can use my sleep machine. Dropping some pounds will help more than anything. Having to "work" the Broo'rs tent from 2am until 8a then work VIP Hill from 12-7p took its toll.
First shift, head into centeroo 1 pm - 7pm Nap 8 pm - 230, 3 am or so Awake at 10 or sooner because of sun beaming down on tent That was my limit. Unless i wanted to do lsd or addy or something
Cold? Exit 111 it was below freezing one night. 3 layers of clothes + 5 sleeping bags or blankets of sorts.
Some tough decisions are going to have to be made on Friday. I'd like to see Miley because why the fuck not, if only briefly. Glass Animals/Primus conflicts will blow. Turkuaz Brittany Howard Young the Giant It keeps going.
Glass animals and Primus should be later in the day. I can see Brittany Howard on the Which mid day. Young the Giant could be Which also but I think they get moved to daytime What for some reason. Hmm or BW What and YtG Which
