We opened our doors to travelers in Raleigh NC in May 2016. Starting out in a 2 bedroom apartment, I forfeited my room in order to fill it with as many bunkbeds as possible. Almost immediately, we had travelers from all over the world booking our place. Fast foward to 2018 and we have 2 hostels in Raleigh (NCSU & Downtown) and 1 in Charlottesville.
In November of 2017 we partnered with a studio, "Mystic Alley " 
and band in residence called Sunset Palette to promote acts from around the country while also providing accommodations.
Most recently we had the band "Reptaliens" play while livestreaming the event

While we provide band accommodations, we also host travelers and business professionals as the first of its kind offering in Raleigh and Charlottesville VA
We have 6 bunks available at our downtown location and 4 bunks at our NCSU location.
Looking forward we want to improve our livestream and allow for viewers to tip us with bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.
We are also interested in hosting multiple events (at all 3 of our locations) in order to create a decentralized music festival.
We have begun to work with a local brewery and print artists to provide beer and a rotating schedule of artwork.
We have a large outdoor area (20x30) that we plan to utilize once the weather gets nice.
We are looking for sponsors, creatives, artists, hackers and other event promotion. Please contact me or leave a comment if you're interested in helping out.
