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!!
Currently my house mate has people periodically stay over our apartment on our pull away sofa bed from a website called couch surfers. This got me thinking that maybe we should try to create a system where Inforoosters who are traveling to other towns and cities could have a place to stay with another Inforooster. I know many of us are music heads on this board and could use a place to stay just to save on money. Let me know what you guys think?
Here is a list of people who are willing to host. PM the person if you are looking for a place :
-Abrakapokus - Knoxville -Holls - Chattanooga -Lovelucklaughter - Akron, Ohio area -Bunny - D.C. area -Purplefuzzystuff - Charlotte area -Linana - Birmingham, AL area -Chicojuraz - Chicago -Warpedfan11 Russellville, AR -Monie's Monster - Columbus, OH -Baconus66 - Tucson, AZ -Bonzai - Hartford, CT
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.
When I say implement, i mean the couch surfer site screens people by recommendations so you don't get stuck with some slob or god forbid an ax murder( because we all know those are dime a dozen ) As it becomes peak season around here there will be new people that we just don't know that well. Any suggestions to screen new people?
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.
Better yet, if you are interested in hosting just say so in the thread and I will add you to the list when needed. If there is someone looking for a place they can contact whom ever is on the list via PM.

Love this idea My old roommate hosted couch surfers at our apt in orlando back in college. She also went couchsurfing herself through europe and was able to get all over the place on a really tight budget. It's a great concept.
As far as screening, it obviously should really be up to the host. Personally, if I were able to host people I would never invite someone who isn't a regular that I'm at least a little familiar with.
(Unfortunately my current roommate isn't the type to be open with that stuff, so I don't think he'd be cool with me hosting people here. Once I get my own place I'd love to)
Screening a couch-surfing Inforooster is easy when you're friends IRL (or on FB) but still... the majority of us seem to possess *most* of our marbles. Even if you haven't met, chances are you have mutual friends (either IRL or on FB) who can vouch for them.

Everyone is welcome at The House of Juggs. We offer hardwood floors throughout, a guest room featuring 300 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets from Williams-Sonoma, a wide selection of fine vodkas, gins, bourbons and single-malt scotches, as well as a humidor featuring a variety of cigars from South America and the Caribbean. Also, Mastodon.
Cool sounds good, I will see you for the NYE MSG run...
I assume you are cool with dogs as well? I can take them to the show on the subway and leave them tied up outside right?

I would become a squatter if I surfed at an abode so lovely.

We have a small house but a couch that is fairly comfortable in Knoxville. However, I can't promise you won't be woken by small children climbing over you.

It's still quite early but I'm planning on going to The Naked and Famous show in Nashville on April 10th and would like to crash on someone's couch if available. I can't be around kitties or ferrets but other than that I can tolerate about anything else.

If anyone feels like Cleveland rocks....well, you can stay on the couch here. I make a mean breakfast, have an awesome 25 year old Thriller on vinyl we can dance to and my washroom is breeding Bolsheviks.

I really am thinking about doing a nye trip without dogs and with my gf if we can find a couch or living room we could borrow for a few nights. I can bring gifts of good nashville beer and liquor if someone can help me out.

I plan on attending this show as well and live downtown in a loft just a mile from the venue. Couch is all yours if you want it.

Awesome, I appreciate it! I have an extra ticket so if you haven't bought yours yet, don't and you can have this one.
