The Hangout Music Festival Gulf Shores Al

Hmm, Meg's boyfriend is gonna be there

For a 1st year fest, it doesn't look bad at all to me. I like it. If it was local I'd definitely be there, I wish Long Island had a big Festy on the Beach.

And with 26 bands on the lineup so far, there's still a ton to be added... I gotta assume Jimmy Buffett might end up being one of them??

Not that I can get down there, but I do have to wonder if I have any friends who happen to have summer homes near by? ;D

Same here, bama. Free place to stay + short drive = might actually be able to swing this one. Not the greatest lineup in festival history, but there's enough on it that I hope I make it.

Seems like a very strange lineup. Not strong enough to get hippies to travel, not country / mainstream enough to draw the local community. If he does a great job of marketing, he could be successful. Otherwise, I think the poor guy is going to lose a ton of $$$.

They shoud of tried to pickup Widespread Panic.. who is playing 2 shows the weekend before right down the street at The Wharf.

Sorry, didn't have the cell handy. Trying to get the kiddo down. He's still kinda freaked about the shooting.

But yeah, let's make some plans, I'll give ya a yell tomorrow. Gotta check the dates out and make sure all's good and nothing's up that weekend, but should be able to work it out with this much notice.

And as for the early bird tix....the 'rents are heading down there next week....if there's anyone who's ABSOLUTELY sure they are in...I can arrange to get tix....but it's all in. No rainchecks, no refunds, no regrets!

Damnit I want The Black Crowes back at Bonnaroo not these other fests I can't make it to!

I'm heading over to Serda's coffee in a few days to get mine. maybe we can figure something out

That's a great lineup imo, if you live locally. There's no way that I'd drive there for it.

Well The festival itself is going to be in the main public beach parking lot is looks like, Not sure where they will be parking the people (maybe in some of the vacant lots?)

There is also Gulf State park about 2 mi down the road.

when they won a grammy

There is PLENTY of public day parking (FREE) and lots of public restrooms, changing rooms and showers (FREE) all around the public beaches where the festie will be held. Plus the Gulf State Park about 3-4 miles down the Beach Highway from the Hangout has camping hookups, a lodge/hotel and cabins for rent at very reasonable prices. There are a ton of hotels in the general area that aren't outrageous in price and TONS of condo rentals in the area that should be very negotiable on price since that will be before prime season. Worst case...check out hotels in Foley and/or Summerville and Robertsdale which are only about a half hour drive from Gulf Shores...they should be rock bottom prices and just a short drive in.....lodging at reasonable prices should be no problem. it's getting a decent parking spot that's the real issue which is still no problem IF you know the area and where to go. ;D

Well, if you need a place to stay...just PM me....I know you have friends in the area but if something falls through just call me or PM me...you DO have my cell # don't you? You have a place to stay in the Orange Beach house if you need it!

Mehhh
