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!!
I'm floating around the idea of coming to Nashville for a few days, after Forecastle to whenever everyone leaves for All Good (July 16-19?). Yeah it'll be the middle of the week - but I'd like to check the place out a little and hang out with Inforoosters.
Come down if you'd like! But it is the middle of the week, and I can't speak for others but I will be working each day (typically 7am-5pm during the summer).
I'm sure we could try to manage an Inforooster meetup for drinks or dinner one night though.

Let us know and we will definitely plan dinner/ drinks etc! But like Julie said, we work in the week so we pretty much confined to evening activities so you may be on your own for doing the tourist thing, but we can for sure give you pointers.
Jul 13-15: Forecastle, Louisville Jul 16 (Mon): travel to TN Jul 17 (Tues): Jul 18 (Wed): Day of LD Jul 19 (Thurs): more beer (Yazoo?)
I'm pretty open ended to returning north between Fri and Sun, depends on what's going on.
Yep Jess is the beer guy so I think that should be your plan for Thursday night for sure. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday evening we can all plan something.
Have you done any of the touristy stuff around our area?
The Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg - this is a nice trip and very interesting if you have not been. The Ryman tour Grand Ol Opry Wild Horse Saloon Country Music Hall of Fame
I have not been to Lynchburg. I thought about it, but by the time I am done with Roo I'm too lazy and tired to do much else.
I have not done too much in Nashville itself either. I went to Yazoo once, some record store, and that was about it. Not a fan of country. But I heard there was a good bluegrass spot in town.

I would swing by Third Man Records if you have never been. Also, check the website to see if there are any shows there during your stay. I've always wanted to go to a show at Third Man, but nothing's going on whenever I've been around.
I always stop by Grimey's on the way in or out of Nashville. It's a nice independent record store and they usually give me posters or something extra when I get a new release from them.

Where are you staying? I can give you the lowdown on most of the hotels because I book travel at my office.
If you have time during the day you should do Lynchburg, JD is a cool, free tour and the town itself is very quaint. I think it's about a 2 hour drive from Nashville.
There are a bunch of places to see good live music - my musician/song writing friends hang out at these places:
If you do plan on staying into the weekend I can easily host a pool party for the occasion!!! You will be the guest of honor too
I live about 20 minutes or so east of Downtown, if you need a place to crash for a night or two, let me know. I work for my parents, about 5 minutes away from home, so taking a half day or something of the sort shouldn't be an issue.

LD, if you decide to come to Jack Daniels, let me know and we can meet up in Manchester and I will take you. Its a great tour that i have done at least 25 times (we always take out of town visitors for work there).
Just let me know man. I can also hook you up with the best burger you have ever eaten!

I'm sure it's about time for a cook-out at my house soon also!! Maybe in April some time......

All Good weekend? Who is actually staying and who is going?
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.

At this point I don't think we're going to AG. Someone who throws pool parties has a birthday around that time...
