I don't understand your post, zen? Moon taxi is already on the lineup. Can you throw out any hints on the adds? I'm in need of some jam bands on this lineup...hope I get at least a couple with the additions.
I'm telling zaj that I wouldn't count on 21 Pilots being there. We all know Moon Taxi's coming.
No jam this year, or in the future for a while. That's the vibe around here; HUKA had the big jam band connections, and without them and with Gulf Shores City Council breathing down Hangout's neck, you're not gonna see much of that going on anymore.
I suppose that I understand the social stigma but I'd rather have a few laid back stoners having a good time in town than a bunch of frat boy partiers smashing people and things any day. And really, does cutting off a WSP or String Cheese mean any less drug culture than an entire tent of EDM? Not a question for anyone in particular, I've just been to a ton of hippie type festivals and there are usually way less problems than at something large scale and popular. Either way, I'm going to have a good time.

I'm thinking one of the larger additions will be a semi-large legacy type act. Any thoughts of people who would fit this who are or will be touring, have the dtaes open and aren't playing JazzFest or somewhere else local in the month before Hangout? I'm going to do some digging on this but thoughts appreciated.
Violent Femmes and Wu Tang.........he thought hopefully.

I was thinking larger than the Femmes or maybe more commercially popular that those two (ZZ Top, Doobies, Allmans, etc.) but I would love either of those two on the bill

The fact that there are folks down in the Gulf Shores area who have campaigned (and won!) for less "jam bands" because they honestly believe that it will decrease the amount of drugs coming through the area is simply hilarious to me. That place is a cartoon. Jesus fucking christ.
Yet I will continue going this year because I'm a sucker for Outkast, beaches and other certain illegal activities whilst roaming said beaches. Sue me.

I think it's pretty safe to assume there's more use happening at a WSP show than, say, a Red Hot or DMB show. That's not really an absurd thought. So, headliner wise, I can see their thought process. I think it's total BS, but I can wrap my head around it, which some of you can't seem to do. Think ab the 06 Waka fest that had all those peeps on camera using mules, stash cars, ect. I can see HMF not wanting to become a "drug destination" fest like roo and Waka. People not even going to those fest send thousands of dollars there every year just to buy weight of various items. So yeah, I can understand the thought process. While an EDM tent is pretty "enhancer oriented", I'm pretty sure a fest deep with jam AND an EDM tent is even more counter culture. On that note I'm hoping they add Spread, Phish, Skrilly, Nectar, Clapton
And I'm really hoping they add Umph so I can get super weird on the sand.

HOMF could have all jam bands and would not have as many wooks as waka. And 'Roo is a good example for the opposite reason. They've steadily phased out jam bands and the drugs are still there...But I can understand there is probably a Baby Boomer view/metality of the 'jam scene' left over from GD & ABB glory days. Phish (and Panic to a much lesser extent) had a 'scene' in the 90's, but it's not remotely like that anymore. It's silliness, and I'm still holding out naïve hope that there isn't some unofficial moratorium on jam bands(know anything Pablo?).....fingers crossed for ABB filling legacy and jam slot.
Do you have this information or are you going by the guy on the ProBoards site saying that this was Tweeted by Hangout? I can't seem to find any verification of this tweet.

Can't find anything to back up that there was ever a tweet like that.

Theres no hint to give. Some guy over at the other hangout message board was talking out of his ass. It could happen but I still think we're lookin at the Thursday Pre Party lineup droppin this week and the rest of the adds closer to Roo's announcement.
Hangout just posted the "100 Days" picture on Facebook with a caption that read "In other good news.....We're about to announce the lineup for the Thursday Kick-Off Party! Festival ticket holders will have first dibs."

Not that I'm a huge Girl Talk fan but if that's not the main act for the Thursday Kick Off Party, that could be a good sign for some of those additions. GT in the Boom Boom tent and another bigger act on the Letting Go or maybe this new Red Bull stage they mentioned.
WESTSIDERS: We hit up Bahama Bob's last year. I don't know how late they're open but DAMN those drinks were strong. After about one and a half our group was pretty loopy and we're no amateur drinkers. It's pretty small and they usually have to wait if you want to sit and eat food, but your wait consists of sitting in the sand with a strong beverage from the bar.
Unrelated note: I sure do wish they would add a couple more stops to the Beach Club shuttle route. We've got a house about 4 miles down Ft. Morgan road. It's free to stay there, but that means we have to drive everyday. Sure would be nice to take a shuttle instead. Anyone else staying down Ft. Morgan?
I second (third, fourth, fifth?) what everyone is saying. The atmosphere really does make the fest. It's one of the best "breaks" from reality ever, regardless of what bands you see. Beautiful beach, awesome people, perfect weather and everyone in a good mood. Plus you get to sleep in a bed and take an actual shower in between. Perfection.
edit: forgot some words.
Yea, ill be staying down that way. Family has a house near the Peninsula golf course. Sucks to stay that far away, but its hard to beat a free place to stay Not sure if im gonna get a bus pass this year or not though.
God damn I'm so impatient. It's pathetic to some extent. The fest is still 3 months away and these adds wont make that come any faster but I just wanna know this schedule/full lineup so I can work out what conflicts I'm gonna have.
No offense to Zen but I doubt he knows the additions. On the other message board hes used comments like "i think" and "i have a feeling" instead of the stonger message he sent here. His message about the Replacements there:
SHAKY KNEES GOT THE REPLACEMENTS. I WANT THE REPLACEMENTS
Not that this means much of anything other than the fact we are all patiently waiting.

So, I got an email today from Meyer, who I rented my house from, basically saying they're excited for HMF, I can get tickets thru them, blah blah Then it mentions Thursday where "Girl Talk will be one of the headliners for this event, with more acts to be announced!"

Maybe GT isn't the main headliner..,
I sure hope there are better alternatives. Girl Talk in concert is a joke. You can have your own Girl Talk concert using your iPod. The crowd goes crazy at his concerts but it's something you won't want/need to do more than once.
