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!!
as discussed in the girly fashion thread, I had proposed getting together with some fellow inforoosters with the goal of having fun and producing a very simple garment that could possibly be worn to Roo.
I had said that I would look into possibly being able to use my husband's family's lakehouse as it would sleep a lot of people and have workspace/party space. unfortunately, there is some family drama going on (NOT of my making or participation) that makes this less likely of a possibility.
Therefore, I need to know if anyone has space or is willing to host such an endeavor. As an alternative, those interested could perhaps chip in and rent a cabin, etc? but I know many budgets are tight, mine included.
I'm also a bit foggy on dates. the first weekend of March right now looks like it will be the best, with the second weekend a close second. That could change a bit, though, as I am interviewing for a new position (long story).
I WILL promise to go ahead this weekend and research some potential pattern choices. Will update you all on that. I'm thinking right now about a simple elastic-waist skirt or a peasant type blouse - both simple and easy and appropriate for Roowear.
thanks to those interested for your patience as I try to sort out these details.
I know how to sew and have a sewing machine, but can't remember how to thread it...... I have made simple dresses for myself and my daughter, but I guess I just have no real desire to use it anymore.
Oh and I would be happy to offer up my house in Nashville to use if it is the 2nd week of March, but not the 1st week. Just keep in mind I have 4 dogs but they can be put outside or in the garage.
I don't mind dogs one bit. I have missed other opportunities for get-togethers and this seemed like a good thing. When Julie started talking about her new machine the idea wheel started turning. hey, we can sew (or knit or crochet) dog and cat toys too!

Well if you guys arrange it, I am totally fine with it. I have a guest room with a double bed, and a pull out single in my bonus room, and of course couches
I know exactly what I'm looking for and will need to go look through some pattern books to get it.
Love the skirt and I'm plus size so I'd be thrilled to participate. Unfortunately I fell before Christmas and shattered the hell out of my shoulder and elbow. Let me know if you need space in the NC area. I'm in Wilmington and we could probably sleep an extra 5 or so (more if we use air mattresses). If it looks possible let me know and I'll run it past the hubby.
wow, both offers of locations are wonderful. I suppose we need to arrive at an approximate number interested parties that could attend either location...I could do either! For that matter, I could do both...just not at the same time.... lol
hope you're on the mend, katbur! did you have to have surgery?

I would be in as long as it's not too expensive I could co-host if it was at dreamingtree's house... maybe if she lets me?
I can't do the first weekend of March as I'm hosting a baby shower, but I'm seriously free any other weekend.
Oh yell yes, I am all about having a co-host, because really I don't like hosting so much I cannot do first weekend in March, it will be my last weekend with my hubby until the end of May.
the second week in March would work for me! Right now I'm off all day that Friday through Monday night. Some things with work could change but at worst that would leave me with the weekend off. I can work with that. Nashville's not too far.
I feel badly about initiating the idea and offering to host and then backing off hosting, but I can't help having some inlaws who are acting like idiots. So I'll contribute in any way possible. I have a sewing machine, assorted sewing paraphernalia, also a basket full of yarn, crochet hooks and knitting needles. I'll also contribute in the food and drink dept. (I'm not a beer drinker though)
I plan to go and look at pattern books on Tuesday - was going to do it today but am being a slug at home battling a cold.

Don't feel bad, I'm used to having the local Inforoo crowd at my house!
So are we thinking the weekend of the 12/13th? That would be awesome because it's my birthday!
I'm not a beer drinker either, but I will get wine and have some liquor. Maybe if everyone could bring food or snacks of some kind that may work?
I have a dining table with extra leaves to make it pretty big (enough to sit 6-8), so we can set sewing machines up on it. My house is not huge, but I have an open kitchen/living room that works pretty well. And we have a big deck off the kitchen if the weather is nice.
I have a folding table too, if it would help. and at least one folding chair.
You can bring the chair maybe, depending on how many people. But with Cindy's table and mine we should be good I think. Not sure I have room for more than 2 tables
