Hi everyone! so excited to meet you all (especially all my during-show volunteers!)
Name: Yulia Age: 22 What my user name represents/means: my entire family (except me) has been to burning man so to me, festivals always need pseudonyms.

SUPER EXCITED!!!
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.

I've only been posting on the board for a month or so after I looked for a while. Glad to be here and pumped to meet some great folks!!!
Discovered Inforoo last week, and with the big event merely days away I decided it was time to join the smelly side (that would be all of you, from what I understand)
Name: Brian From: New Brunswick, New Jersey About: I'm 25 years old, majored in English and Psychology (college seems soooo long ago...) and now I work in NYC for a technology company (hooray hour long train rides both ways...) I like to read and write and when it comes to posting on forums like this, I can get very verbose. (sorry) What my user name represents/means: It's a nickname I was given in middle school and it stuck with me for many years. The best thing to do with an insult is wear it proudly, yeah? (they were trying to make fun of me as the Nickelodeon show "Pelswick" featured a main character in a wheelchair with a huge nose and eyes of two very different sizes. They failed wonderfully) Favorite Bands: The Gaslight Anthem, DEATH GRIPS, Coheed and Cambria, Citizen Cope, RHCP, Sublime, Dispatch, Matchbox 20, Jimmy Eat World, Eminem, 50 Cent, Drake, Immortal Technique, Kevin Gates, Lil Wayne (up until roughly 2010 when he was still making good rap, feel free to debate that), Rise Against, Muse, Nightwish, Love Spirals Downwards, James Blake, Rage Against the Machine, A Perfect Circle, about a billion more things... All-Time Favorite Artist: Black-Eyed Peas! (Kidding. So incredibly joking that I can really see where it's not funny at all) Seriously though, how to pick just one? Favorite Books: Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Hellspark by Janet Kagan, the Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony Favorite Movies: Reservoir Dogs, Serenity, Office Space, Garden State, Tombstone, Cube Favorite TV shows: Adventure Time, Archer, Futurama, Dexter, Better Off Ted, The IT Crowd First Concert Attended: The Foo Fighters Last Concert Attended: The Gaslight Anthem at the Stone Pony a couple weeks ago Bonnaroos Attended: This will be the first, hopefully of many Bonnaroo Wishlist: JUST TO BE THERE ALREADY!!!!

A BIG Welcome! to all the new Inforoo peoples!
Ahhh, just noticed you are a Gaines-villian, Scrog. I'm just 30 minutes north of you in Lake City. Do you camp with inforoo or join in brunch?? If so I'll have an extry beer for ya.

Right on! I am actually down in Ocala, although I will be in G-ville tonight. In years past, I may have been at brunch, but this year I am not going to make Roo, I have to work on that Sunday. I have been focusing more on Spirit of the Suwanee Music Park with Wanee and Bear Creek. ever go to SOSMP?

Every chance I get! We have been a bit less active there this season to build up 'Roo finances, but were there for most of Wanee, and all of the Purple Hatters Ball. Very few things compare to being able to enjoy a camping festival and swim in the Suwanee at the same time
