ok..more info needed

friend and I are getting into Nashville on Friday am, no idea how we're going to get to Bonnaroo (their shuttle is a complete rip-off and we don't need the return anyway).

but, we will want to join our friends that are already there..can we do that or are we forced to camp separately, even though we won't have a car ourselves (will get a ride of some sort most likely)?

Will you being staying in the same tent with your friends or are you bringing your own? I'm assuming that you're bringing your own, which means you won't be able to camp with them

How is it on Monday morning? I'm assuming pretty easy to get out?

The Roo folks will try to restrict everyone to a roughly 10'x10' space in front of or behind their car, but it can turn into a free for all (as someone already said). I'm going in a tiny little toyota yaris, so hopefully that'll leave more room for camp setup!

:( .. really stupid system..a festival is MEANT to be about sharing, party etc..
I mean if we find enough space to put our tent in their 'designated' space, who's to stop us?

mm..might have to ask them to bring 2 tents and set up an extra one for us

much more group friendly in Europe:
leave your cars in a parking lot (you don't need them for the 3-4 days anyway...and you can get out anytime if you need to), then get your gear and find a big enough space on the camping grounds for all your mates..
hell at Werchter last year we managed to get another 2 tents next to Jason's, having arrived 2 days into the festival.

Well this isn't Europe so things are different. No matter what you will still have a great time.

Having your friends setup your tent when they get there so they can claim that space is a good idea. You might be able to get your tent set up by theirs when you arrive, but there's no guarantee on that. Maybe you will get lucky and they will be parked next to people without much or any camping gear.

hahaha... thanks!

Sandra, listen to Jason, go with the flow and make the best out of any 'obstacles'. Remember you'll be in Tennessee... people might not be as welcoming of your observation that all things European are better... as they were in Chicago

All those getting to the Roo early should try and catch Newton Faulkner, he's huge in the UK right now and seems to be touring the US hard so maybe some of you will of heard of him. If not basically he's a rootsy guitarist with an interesting guitar technique of basically playing while using it for precussion at the same time, perhaps the best example being his cover of Massive Attacks 'Teardrop.' He's also very entertaining doing a great impression of the Kings Of Leon and an incredible one man version of Queen's Bohemiem Rhapsody. Not everyone's cuppa tea granted but if you wanna be entertained and enjoy some great acoustic based songs then you'll love it. Okay shameless plug over, he's from my hometown and played my festival a few years back ya see.

Newton Faulkner
Thurs 12th June
That Tent
6:15-7pm

I can second this. I saw him as a support act at the Royal Albert Hall and he had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand. If he can get this going at a festival it would be awesome.

As you said his guitar technique is v. cool

Maybe walk around wearing a sign that says your better then everybody else, I mean that Europe is better.

There's the term ''ugly American'' that is sometimes used to describe us. Meaning some Americans have a moment while traveling in Europe. When they are pissy about certain things that aren't the same in Europe like it is back in the states. Well you could be the first that people use the term ''ugly European'' on.

Oscar is going to Werchter??? I was not aware of this.
And since when were you going to the Beacon, I thought you were flying back to the ugly continent on CANADA DAY!!!

yep, Oscar booked himself a flight and ticket so it's definite.

and I was always flying back on the 2nd in case a 1st July show got added

patrickredeyes..we don't use the term 'ugly American'...we just say Americans

but I'm ugly and I'm European so who am I to contest
