Well - since we are a small group for now - I thought it might be nice to get to know each other a little better. Feel free to post whatever you want to tell about yourself here. I'll go first My name is Meg and I am married to elusiveboz. We have been married for 4 1/2 years and have one daughter that is 2 years old. I also have a 14 year old and a 9 year old from a previous marriage. Boz and I actually dated for two years in 1988-1989 but I married someone else. We ran into each other after my divorce and here we are. I work for the VA Medical Center and previously was a criminal defense paralegal for 16 years. anyone else? you can give a little info or alot. I tend to get type happy and actually had to stop myself from typing more to keep from overwhelming anyone - LOL ;D

Hey Meg & everybody else!
My name is Terry, I'm familiar with people from the Inforoo board and kept my name the same so people might recognize it. I used to change my name on every message board I joined....
I've got my tickets and I've never been to N.O. so I'm excited, but I'm also conflicted cause I was really planning on going to Vegoose. As far as problems go, having to choose between which party to go to has to be at the bottom of the list, but that's where I stand.

Hi, I'm Andrea. I've been to three Bonnaroos ('05, '06, & '07) and am considering attending VooDoo. I have a business trip to San Fransisco scheduled around November 6th, so tomorrow at work I'll check my schedule and see if I can swing Voodoo. If I can go, I'll come back to this thread and post some little known facts about me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

My name is Keith. I am neither a true cajun ( I did got to USL in Lafayette though) nor do I live in Saudi anymore but I've been using the name for years so you're stuck with it ...
I'm originally from New Orleans but haven't lived there in twenty years. Since then I've lived all over the world including the aforementioned five year stint in Saudi. Now I live in the Florida panhandle, working as a 'beta tester' for F-15s.
I'm a divorced single parent with three wonderful kids (12,10,7 )who keep me very busy.
2007 was my first 'Roo and hopefully the start of a few more.

Hey hey all, first post here, I'm also on the Inforoo boards, some of you may know me. My name is Charlie, I'm from New Orleans, but I'm currently in school at LSU in Baton Rouge, LA. Been to 3 'roos now, can't wait for more. I'm currently a bartender in Baton Rouge, and really enjoying doing it. Really excited for Voodoo this year, should be a great time.

Houston 10/9-10/12 and San Francisco 11/3-11/8, and my desk just can't take it if I'm gone the last part of October. I'm so sad, but I'll catch up with you guys at something in the future. I promise. Have a blast and take tons of pictures!!

My name is Justin. I currently live in Michigan. I've attend the Bonnaroo since its creation in 02. It's my one big vacation, and annual energy charger. I am addicted to all things Roo. This past roo, I met a girl from New Orleans (read all about it in the 2007 Bonnaroo Love story @ InfoRoo) and well I'm moving down to the Big Easy!
I move Oct 1st and will be all settled in by the time I get to rock out with all of you again. This is my first festival besides Roo, and boy I'm I excited.
The whole move to New Orleans is gonna be a sensory overload. And besides my new found soulmatel, I won't know many people, so if anyone wants to introduce me to Nawlins...I'd be all for it!
Hello Trix!!!
Take Care Everyone, and happy Voodoo chatting!
(looking forward to seeing Rage, Ben Harper, Wilco, Earl Greyhound, La Coka Nostra, and of course all that good Jazz. Dax Riggs, Galactic, Spoon...geez am i excited)
Peace love and Respect! Suitcase murphy

well. this board is quiet! LOL! Yes, it is...too quiet!! But we are still "under construction" so to speak...still getting set up and settled in...so we need all you guys to join in and build InfoVooDoo into what you want it to be! Introduce, mingle, talk, discuss, laugh, have fun, suggest, "what if we...." that's what we want to do! There's a feedback thread and you can post other threads, polls, PM me or justmeg or happybunny anytime with comments, suggestions, complaints (I know I keep things messed up around here most of the time with playing around - LOL! I'll settle down I promise! ;D) Most of all...PARTY-CIPATE!!!!! NOLA is ALL about the PARTY....and we should be too!! ;D

hey guys, Im TelLArOO...as far as InfoRoo goes....here I am just telLAvOO...whatever, you get the point...
Im 27, from Houma...45 south of the New Orleans....and the more you write the more I love it...my city...my music...my love...my life!
I cant wait for all you new people to be in my city...bringing all these good vibes...especially my new found soul-mate!
Ive been to just about all voodoo's, or at least a show per year, since they called it Mojo fest...i think....Im not 100% I was 16 or 17 at the time...who knows there is so much to see here and with everything that has happened since katrina Im really stoked that music, our roots, is what is bringing in so much positive energy.
personally i cant wait, I met my soul-mate at Bonnaroo this year....it was my 2nd Roo and his 6th....and he will be moving here on Oct 1 (suitcasemurphy on here)...just in time for some Voodoo Love...i cant wait to share with all of you on this site and become friends.
if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I love sharing what i know, if I know...
peace, love & Voodoo tel
