Story Time at the Roo Bus

We borrowed Bryan from the What Podcast this week, and Taco says we can keep him.  We wanted to talk about some of the early days of Roo, and Bryan is one of the best guys to talk with since he's been to every single Bonnaroo!  Sharla and Daniel also talk a little bit about House of Yes and have a few weekly picks too.

Sharla and Daniel are back from travel this week and have a ton to go over!  We gossip a little about the Grammy's and Kendrick's Halftime show, go over some of our plans for our campsite and TOTEM, but also go through what you can expect for each day at Roo.  From load-in, to late nights, to campground parties, we go into what happens on every day on the Farm.

Also remember, if you're in the NYC area, we'll see you on Saturday the 15th at 3PM in the East Village at La Palapa for our next TOTEM meet up!
