Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Jellyfish found an obituary for Chris aka. Yoderoo, and it stated that in lieu of flowers donations be sent to here:
"Covenant Presbyterian Church, 1000 East Morehead Street, Charlotte, NC 28204 for a building fund to build a house in Chris' honor in Reynosa, Mexico."
I will gladly start a fund where we can all contribute in the name of Inforoo (like we did with Matt last year). I have paypal account, and it would be the easiest way to contribute if you also have one; however, if you would like to send something in the regular mail, please PM me for my address. My paypal e-mail address: julieahollis at gmail dot com
Even if you don't have a lot to give, it's ok. I just think it would be a nice gesture and show of community for a fallen member.

I don't have a ton of extra cash right now but would like to contribute. I will make a donation later tonight when I am home from work, or PM you JHo if it won't work for some reason. Thanks for putting this together!
If you can remember to, facebook me and remind me to donate at the end of the month, I have funds, and I definitely want to contribute, but I also have semi-past due bills that I have to catch up on first.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
BTW: we raised $309 for Matt's Trees at the Brunch.
Wow, thats awesome. I really wanted to contribute to Matt's Trees last year, but I was very new to the board, and also very broke. Better late than never though.
Update: Matt's mom is going to send a donation for us to put in Matt's name in honor of Chris. Very sweet gesture.
That's really awesome!
I'll be sending you some on Wednesday hopefully, work messed up and gave me an extra week off after bonnaroo instead of scheduling me so I'm trying to reorganize my finances.
Imagine my surprise when I come to post this information to the boards this morning, and see this post. It warms my heart to see such support for someone ya'll knew, but never met.
Yoder was my roommate and best friend from college. Every year him and I went to Roo together and he will be truly and deeply missed.
One of Yoder's biggest ambitions in life was to start his own festival. He wanted to work, save his money, and coordinate amongst our friends getting one started and have it going. Well, now that job has fallen on to us, his friends in the Raleigh area, to do that in his name.
I'd like to announce Yoderfest - a benefit concert for Yoder at the Raleigh Pour House on August 13th. All proceeds from concert and raffle tickets sold will be donated to his family to help cover his medical costs, and also to the Covenant Presbyterian Church fund that is mentioned here.
We want this to be a huge success. I realize this post is pretty vague, but its simply because the details haven't all been ironed out. If anyone would like to contribute, or is in the Raleigh area and would like to help with marketing, please feel free to contact me at my email: cbadders@gmail.com, find me on facebook, or post to this thread here.
Yoder was a special person. He loved Bonnaroo. He loved music. And most of all, he loved coming home from work and spending hours pouring over the boards, meeting and talking to people here, and being part of the Roo community. I know we can succeed if we all put in the work.
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, prayers, donations, and being part of his Roo family.
