Ah its getting soooo close! Its all I can think about. Since were driving from MD we obviously cant go home between festies. So I think were doin Waka > Memphis for 3 days > Roo.
Any Memphisinians? Whats fun in Memphis? I've never been there!

I live in the little rock area, and have been to memphis a few times. Beale street is pretty cool lots of bars and you can probably find a cool jazz or blues show going on. If you want a show MGMT is playin in little rock June 9. I'm going to Waka, then back to little rock hopefully for that show, work a couple days then off to Roo.

Go to Silky O'Sullivan's (my favorite) on Beale Street and listen to Barbra Blue sing or sit outside in the courtyard and watch the goats climb the goat castle. Hit up any of the little bars/clubs for a good time Don't go past the New Daisy if you go to Beale, it starts getting a little rough and don't walk south of Beale either if it is dark.
Eat at Huey's on 2nd and Madison. They have some great burgers, brews and they also let you sign the wall and shoot frilly toothpicks into the cealing. They have a contest every year where customers donate some a few bucks and estimate how many frilly picks are in the cealing. The winner gets some of the money and the rest goes to charity. Huey's serves Memphis' Ghost River Beer also. Part of the proceeds from every Ghost River Beer sold go toward cleaning and preserving the river.
You obviously are into music if you're going to these festies so check out the Gibson Guitar Tour (ten bucks) it is near the FedEx Forum.
Also, Sun Studio on Union is a must see. Take the tour (ten bucks) and you'll get to see memorabellia (sp?) from Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and all of the others who have recorded at Sun. Very informative, very worth the ten bucks.
Graceland is alright. It is costly, $45 for the cheapest ticket. You do get to get a glimpse into what E was really like and you tour the bottom level of the house, horse stalls, pool, and planes.
You could also check out the schedules at the New Dasiy on Beale and Minglewood Hall on Union to see if they have any shows going on while you'll be in town.
Also, if you want you can go check out the Mud Island Monorail or take the bridge over the monorial (free) over to Mud Island and play in the little water park, ride paddle boats and walk along the river.
On the way from Memphis to Roo, if you have time Stop and eat at Loveless Cafe just west of Nashville, Exit 190ish it is the McCrury Rd exit. They are awesome counrty cooking and homemade biscuits and preserves that are amazing. This place has been on the Food Network quite a few times.
Sorry to go a little crazy with recommendations.... I live an hour from Memphis and LOVE the place.
Last time I was in Memphis we ate at this joint called Gus's Fried Chicken. I don't know exactly where it was at (somewhere near the Lorraine Motel, maybe?) but it was the BEST food ever! Granted, we were starving, but to this day, I've never had fried pickles that awesome.
Oh, and The Loveless is Exit 192 off of I-40, McCrory Lane, near Nashville
My boyfriend and I are contemplating this. We have Rothbury tickets but due to stupid summer classes (i hate college) we can't go. So if we sell our tickets in time, we're doing Wakarusa>home to Murfreesboro for rest>then show up to volunteer for Bonnaroo on Tuesday. Hope we'll have some energy left over!!!

Well Thank you very much Melissa! You seem to know what your talking about haha and this will definitely keep us busy for a couple of days in between! I want to go everywhere now! I'm definitely making sure we hit up the Sun Studio tour. I've always wanted to check out Graceland, but 45 bucks may be a bit steep at the time, depending on how my funds are looking by that point. But hey thanks again for all the ideas!
Has anyone heard if there's a big party in the Ozark, AR area Wednesday night before Wakarusa? Kinda like there is every year in Manchester at the Walmart..
I wanna drive in Wednesday night... I suppose I could just find the nearest Walmart and see haha
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

So it hasn't really been mentioned much but how many of us will be doing the extended camping between roo. I finally decided on doing so as it will be alot cheaper than driving back to MS or getting a hotel, only $29 after all. Just curious how many others may be doing so.

Noon - 4 AM is gonna be pretty impossible!

Also, don't forget Staxx records.
I grew up in Memphis but have been back only once in a long time. Beale Street, Mud Island and all that wasn't around in my day. But anytime spent by the river is always so awesome. I do miss that so much.
For BBQ, if you want ribs go to the Rendezvous. (My Dad's law school picture is hanging up in there, along with tons of other cool old stuff.) For chopped sandwiches I always ate at Tops. I think a lot of people like Corkys, too.
Mid-town/Overton Square used to have some cool shops and record stores. That's more than likely changed as well.... And I'm pretty sure Graceland is a rip off - it was disgusting even before I split.

Yah, everything in Overton Square is pretty much closed down. Mid-town is rough now. There have been a ton of robberies there. It's sad, really.
Oh, and if anyone happens to pass thru Paragould on the way from Waka to Roo let me know and we'll meet up and eat.

I live in Fayetteville, AR so i'll be doing both. prob not the entire weekend of waka though. for those of you looking for something to do for a day or two, you should go float or camp on the buffalo river. there are parties in fayetteville (only 45min from Waka), but you can enjoy nature instead by going 45 mins in the other direction!!!!
I would like to go to Wakarusa as well. I'm in Fayetteville and only about an hour and a half away, but it looks like Bonnaroo will be my only festival this summer. Maybe waka next year.
I'm just as psyched about Waka as I am Roo 'cause it's a new place and all.. Updated site pics over at the Waka board look awesome.
Gonna be a hell of a party! I just hope I can come back and get rested enough in a couple days to turn around and do it all over again at Roo. I'm thinking about getting some B12 shots
I'll be doing starscape to roo to projekt then home till roth>camp bisco. I have always wanted to get to Waka but starscape is just massively awesome and closer to me.
