Hi Everyone. I have been creeping this site for about two years like most who post here. Decided it was time when I catch myself wanting to argue about sandwiches while reading Inforoo on my lunch break.
Name: Savana
From: Buffalo NY
Favorite Bands: Musical ADD is a real thing but.... Incubus. Twenty one pilots. Andrew McMahon. Elvis Presley. Jack White. Ben Folds. Butch Walker. HAIM. Chromeo. Ryan Adams. Weezer.
My All-Time Favorite Artist: Ek...Incubus.
Favorite Books: Autobiographies.
Favorite Movies: I am not a huge movie person unless it is rocking a great soundtrack. Based on soundtracks alone: Purple Rain. Great Gatsby. American Graffiti.
Favorite TV shows: Breaking Bad. Sons of Anarchy. Scandal. Arrested Development (S1-3, obviously.)
First Concert Attended: This is my favorite question to answer out loud. Hanson. Sixth grade. I was in love with the drummer.
Last Concert Attended: This month (Dec 2014) I have seen Bleachers, Fitz & the Tantrums, Jungle, Robert Delong, Walk the Moon, Neon Trees, Airbourne Toxic Event, Every Time I Die.
Roos Attended: 2014 was my first Roo. I have attended a ton of music festivals, but my first time I took the 13 hour drive. 2015 cannot come soon enough.
Haha I meant that it changes very often of what I am jamming to. I do listen to a good amount of rap, but am not familar with any turkish gypsy punk. Care to enlighten me?
I have seen them twice. I got a chance in 2010 at this wine event, where basically I had a bottle of wine in each hand, and got to hang out with Hanson. It was beautiful. And bacon + cheese is the only kind of sandwich for me.

ohh ok, skimming through that short list I noticed primarily white men, my first thought was you need some hip hop in your life.
As far as turkish gypsy punk, I am lacking in knowledge.
Only thing i know that is close is Gogol Bordello, but they formed in Manhattan, lead singer is pretty damn ukranian though.

That was pretty darn entertaining. If there is anything I am going to take away from actually participating in Inforoo, it will be the new music I will be adding to my playlists. Thanks!
After lurking this site the last few weeks I decided it was time to join. Some friends and I will be attending Bonnaroo for the very first time this year, and I've gotten so many useful tips reading through topics. So let me introduce myself!

Movies: Anything Tarantino, NeverEnding Story, 28 Days Later, Mutants (French Film), Gremlins, Rivers and Streams (love me some documentaries especially if they're about nature/animals), also enjoy some Disney movie marathons because I'm an adult and I can do that. TV: I don't watch a lot of tv but one show I do make time to watch is Game of Thrones. I'm a total nerd I love to play some video games. Books: Tons, I love to read. Blindness, The Alchemist, Botonay of Desire, Stiff, Killer Plants, Killer Bugs, The Curious Incident or the Dog in the Night-Time, The Historian, various Stephen King and Dean Koontz, and various book series.

Hello all, I will just steal someone else's Q and A like the old school MySpace days. Returning to the Farm this year so with a little over a month to discuss the lineup, wanted to get involved in the speculation and then the excitement leading up to June. Also spend lots of time reading the other festivals speculation.

I also saw the Avett Brothers at Americana fest in September. And had my pic taken with them when they played at Grimey's for record store day. I believe it was 2008.
Yeah my cousin was at that too (the Grimey's thing). He said they were SUPER nice and very peppy! Must have been something special to catch them in a shop like that.
