I live half a mile form downtown, and I've got a huge backyard. Last year we had campers from UK and Germany. I'd love to keep up the international theme, but domestic travelers are welcome too.
It's cool to shower in the house, as long as we can work out our schedules. Staying here also means you might be able to catch rides to house shows, and do some laundry.
The only difference between this year and last is that now we have some chickens (including a couple roosters). So you'll get an early wake up call. But you're welcome to some eggs if there are enough to around! We usually get 2 or 3 a day, and we don't eat them nearly that fast.
I'd also love it any guests could bring me some beer that I can't get in Gianesville, especially stuff from Three Floyds, Goose Island, Russian River, Schlafly, Great Lakes, and New Glarus.

last year we only had 4 or 5 people. All but one took their showers in a hotel room, so I barely noticed most of the time.
The yard is so big, it can easily hold a dozen tents. So come on down.

I definitely may take you up on that offer, I'm way too broke for a hotel and don't really want to drive to and from downtown from the campground I stayed at last year. I'll let you know!

dude it would be awesome if my friends and I can do this. This will be our first time at the Fest. Also I can bring you some beer from a cool brewery in the town I live in. Look me up on facebook or something.
also the tent I plan on bringing can fit like 6 or more people, so if i have any empty space, more folk are welcome to it.

We've got 1/3 of an acre, and about half of that is taken up by the house (actually two small houses).
And we are just about 3/4 of a mile from Common Grounds, on the same street. I think Boca Fiesta would actually be the closest venue.
Just remember - ROOSTERS, they are loud in the mornings. They don't bother our neighbors, but you'll be outside, and right next to them.

well, I figure we'll keep them locked up while there are many people in the yard. Everyone usually clears out by lunchtime anyway, then the chickens can get their free range time, and they put themselves to bed around sundown.

Cool,
we're coming over to the Fest with 5 people, maybe a few more. Would be cool if we could camp in your backyard.
Maybe we can bring some belgian beers with us, if we can take it with us on the plane.

Here is one of our two Yard Guardians. He looks mean, but it's actually the other one you really have to worry about.
