I'm Lauren Spuhler, an online producer for knoxnews.com. And on Thursday morning, I'll be heading to Manchester, Tenn., for Bonnaroo 2009 .
It's my fifth year covering the music festival for knoxnews.com and Knoxville.com and I'm very excited about the changes in coverage I have planned:
I'm using Twitter and a cell phone that does live-stream video to cover Bonnaroo for people at Bonnaroo. Twitter will be a quick way for me to send dispatches as I see them occur.
I'll be relying on exhaustive Twitter updates (follow me @bonnaroonews!) and daily live-stream videocasts. You can find both here on our Bonnaroo page on Knoxville.com.
With the help of a fellow user on Twitter , I've helped organize our first Bonnaroo Tweet-up for Friday morning at 11 a.m. CDT at the fountain. It's an early call for some, but I'll be live-streaming the gathering and giving away free stuff. And who doesn't love free stuff?
I'm also looking to retweet interesting things going on, so don't forget to include "@bonnaroonews" in your Twitter updates.
I'll be sharing Bonnaroo photos through Twitpic and our own user-submitted platform im.knoxnews.com. If you're 'Roo-bound, sign up to share your photos with us.
Each day I'll post additional edited videos and text dispatches on this page.
Every year I ask for your advice and suggestions on who to see and what to check out. If you've got any, please share them with me in the comments below.
