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!!
(And all speak up yes/no.. Especially if there is a specific morning ingredients needed. Quacker does french roast, i do 'regular' tea. Scrog like a specific creamer. Have a friend that needs Coke with caffeine and another that must have diet pepsi- no caffeine. Morning comforts are priority for me. Quacker - 2 am treats. Speak up. Grocery shopping is wednesday for the most part.)
On our list..
Sat aft pickies: Stuffies (tobasco and malt vinegar will be available) Stuffed mushrooms (family/veggie friendly) Bacon wrapped scallops chips and dip
Anytime: Grill will be on through out - have at it hamburger/cheeseburgers and fixin's Saugies (Good Hotdogs ) Meatballs and sausages for sang-wa-chiz potatoe salad (not vegan friendly) watermelon bevies corn Jello shots (I hope!!)
Saturday chow later eve: Lobsta's steamed - garlic butter for dipping Clams Zuppa (cherry stones in a portuguese broth) Lasagne Might do rolled stuffed egg plant Fresh picked corn on the cob
Some type of yummy dessert that we will not be making ourselves
This is all going to have to be Roo style.. every one is family.. 'man' the pot, grill, stove, oven, bevy blender, or whatever so it all comes together like the sweet music we love.
Note on beer: the following beers, just don't be that person... anything Miller or Coors (including Blue Moon and Killians) anything Leinenkugel Bud (Heavy or Lite)
The first few are there due to their support of Republican assholery in Wisconsin. (Too bad Kdogg isn't coming, woulda loved to have had him out here.) As for Bud and Bud Light, if you're really gonna bring that - just get Gansetts instead. Enjoy the local flavor.

And if a little extra travel is deemed worthy, Quacker and I would be happy to host at the house. We have room for folks to crash here without having to worry about dancing with the DUI fairy.
Throwing it out there as an option.
We are going to Newport the end of July and have a partner-in-crime Irooster from the south joining us. ;D

Anyone else going to Newport?
Gah. I'm not from New England and soon to be not on this coast nor am I going to NFF BUT I really wanted to say congrats about that. I keep salivating at the line up.
How late do the shows go on Saturday down at Newport?
Perhaps have something Saturday night after the last set?
cant say LD.. this will shamefully be our first even though its so close! Garageland has been. Wish i had more post roo funds to bring he and his lovely lady up here.
G- leaving the coast?
It would be great to get some NE Inforooers together. ( And any other roosters that might be in the area.) There are a lot of us. The offer stands. We have indoor space and a small but private back yard. Can 'camp' with no dust or 4W Patrols. Especially if Miss V would bring the punch and from what i think i've read, her voice. And seems to me C Jack offered to make some fud's in one of our chats. (FawnMart throws down to CJ ) )

Lets make this happen. ;D
Nothing to do music wise after the shows end. But your in Newport and on the water. Sippy Cups with straws and some Narragansett will fix that problem. There are some fun bars up there but I can't remember one name to save my life. I'll try and come up with a few.

The fact that you can't remember their names is a testament to how fun they are!
Ha! I fell victim to Porch Drinking last night.
So I got The Red Parrot, Salvation, and The Coddington Brewing Company. Those were great bars. I like the feel of Salvation more but Coddington had a better list.

Aw crap!! I want to go to NFF SO BAD but I've got a gig on Nantucket that Saturday night... I'm sure it'll end too late for me to get the ferry back. Dangit!!
I'd totally be up to come down to RI some other time though, if you do it again... my parents are right in Kingston fawnmart, are you guys in South County?

Also, Newport Folk is great. I started going in '91 or so... I think I've been to 6 or 7 of them but haven't been in years...its always a really great lineup.
we can do some hosting at another time this summer.
hmmm....any chance of non-New Englanders getting an invite for this? my case of coffee milk is gettin' low...and you know we can't get good steamers down here, just sayin'

Holls, you show up anytime and we'll chowdah and steamah you till you can't stand it!
You betcha!!!! We'd love to have a gathering of Roosters up here. Seems like NFF weekend wont work but lets think about a weekend that will. To my knowledge the only absolute must do after Newport is August 6th (Mom's bd party.)
I try to keep the house really clean but must warn ahead of time that we have cats (that think they are dogs) in case anyone has severe kitty allergies. Ya'll could sleep outside.
Off to podunk CT for the night but lets keep the planning/thinkun going and see if we can make this happen.
Podunk, CT. Sounds like the entire eastern half of the state in a nutshell (sadly, the part I'm in.)
Back on track... Perhaps have a small thing for Newport on Saturday night, but a bigger gathering some other time? I'm booked Vibes weekend (one before NFF). Also Jul 16 and Aug 13 for shows. Looks fairly open besides that.
And for those of you outside New England - we don't discriminate, you'll just have to travel further to party with us.
I was at Red Parrot once, couldn't say I was thrilled by it.
Buskers on the other hand, while I couldn't remember the name until now... every time I'm in Newport I end up there at some point. Then drink until I forget the name of the place.
So I got The Red Parrot, Salvation, and The Coddington Brewing Company. Those were great bars. I like the feel of Salvation more but Coddington had a better list.
Red Parrot is complete shite.
Buskers for an Irish pub - great food. Gaslight for beers and/or food - ask for the lobster pizza, it's not on the menu. The Mooring is the best place in town. Go to the Barking Crab and get a pitcher and a bucket of crabs - they'll give you a rock to break 'em open. O'Brien's is great, too - laid back and awesome.
Listen to this guy. That weekend was a a little hazy ... at best.

Yes.. that part of CT... Yes we do not discrimate.. ok for after NP, but if we go there we might need to get a limo for sat drop off, pick up, bars... we dont dance with lady Devil U Is.... yes something later, yes we have so 'force' Juggs to come up.. : ) Will focus tomorrow (busy with work) and PM u holls and LD.
I'm up for this as well! Usually, I am good about lurking around on an almost daily basis, but I was at the DMB Caravan in AC since the 23rd so I am just catching up now. I wouldn't be able to do anything the weekend of the NFF- I will be there, but hopefully with family, so I won't be able to get away. But as long as we get together another weekend- I am in!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Hi All, Fawnmart and I are throwing out the weekend of 8/20 as a meetup opportunity. We have some commitments earlier in August but we think this avoids back-to-school conflicts for those that might have them. And there's no better time to enjoy RI than August. Our place is both 8/20 and 420 friendly. We have a decent amount of indoor sleepover room and a secluded back yard for overflow.
There's a winefest (with beers and foods too) happening in Newport that weekend as well as a Newport Storm luau at Fort Adams featuring some local reggae bands.

Let us know if you're interested.
Holy crap, I think I can actually do this...that never happens!! Definitely keep me on the info list if you don't mind, I'd love to hang with everyone...
Holls..... Do it!! You can hear the coffee syrup calling you!! Steamas, lobsta, chowda.. have you had any of the fore mentioned Portuguese style?? Garlic, Chourice, mild spices... Zuppa!! YUM!!!
Will post a pic or two of the aisle of misfits tomorrow so those that might be considering can (hopefully) get a comfort level that we are not crazed stalkers. Just old farts that love music and enjoy the company of good people (and Juggs should we ever meet.)
