krisplettuce...is your DJ system powered by a Honda quiet generator? I've seen some pretty cool systems to get your stuff; beer, music, etc., from condo out on the beach. Of all the fun things to do Wednesday and the following Monday and Tuesday night, it is a beach or pool party with friends. We gotta work that. Kinda like a pot luck on the beach with jam.
Fishing is good, just hanging out in a boat all day. NOTE: I do not recommend swimming in the gulf near the folks fishing from the beach. Think about it...dragging bait in, shark hungry, bites leg instead of lure. One of our condo mates caught a couple fish early in the morning fishing from the beach. You can get a short term fishing license on line at Alabama Dept of Environment.
Good advice. But most of the north Gulf attacks have been from people chumming water. They banned shark fishing off the Pensacola Pier because it's too close to main public beach. As long as you aren't wearing sparkling things that mimic fish scales, and as long as you aren't swimming at dusk or dawn, you're probably not going to have a problem.
gonna be down from Weds-Tues this year. Is there any cool shit we can do in the area on the non fest days?
Drinking? Swimming? Sunshine?
Fishing rules. They catch snapper pretty close to shore there, and certainly there are all the other Gulf fish you might want to catch on a normal trip (say vs. going deep sea and fighting tuna and sharks).
If you were an hour or hour and a half further east, I'd say check out Destin and 30-A/South Walton County. There are some areas that are built into the natural surroundings there (30A) vs. high rise condos and such (Destin, OBAL, GSAL) and way better food than anything you'd find in Orange Beach or Pensacola Beach. A run up to Mobile or even Pensacola is < 45 minutes if there is something going on any of the other nights or if there is some music in either city that's worth doing. You can also go to Fort Morgan or catch a ferry to Dauphin Island, but there isn't much there worth seeing in my opinion.

I'll be in Destin next week!
Family trip or business or honeymoon? Destin pretty much rules. 30-A might beat it a little in cool factor, but that's a nice little area there between Sandestin and Panama City Beach. I have to make a run over to Tallahassee in the next couple of weeks, so I'll probably bookend that around a weekend at my house in Pensacola. Last time I had to go to Tally, I ended up going to Apalachicola to eat Oysters. The beds had been closed for a while, and it was nice to get some super salty raw Apalachee Bay oysters. That part of the state isn't that great as far as beaches because there is a lot of marsh and you have river discharge. But they have great fisheries. Mmm. I want some f'n seafood now.

Family trip. Going fishing and hopefully see some good live music while out at night. Really looking forward to it

I'm from St. George Island right by Apalachicola and we have a great beach. Just take the 98 bridge across to Eastpoint and then hit the bridge to St. George.
St. George Island is great. Me and a buddy did a trip throughout Florida in the mid 80s. We got to the bridge there and it was closed until 6am. There wasn't much there then, but that has changed. Not all of the areas down there were successful (Sopchoppy, Aligator Pointe, etc.) but your island's beach was great. We also went to Blue Mountain on the way home and it was mostly a sign and sand dunes. I love the central Panhandle.

I spend a week there every year. Easily my favorite.

Oh yeah. I ate oysters at Boss. \m/
Nice. Yea, it has grown quite a bit, but still very low key compared to a lot of FL beaches. Growing up it was about 10 of us that would hangout all winter on the island without any tourist, then we'd get about two months of spring breakers, and then into summer, most the rental houses are full. I love that there are no high rises on the beach.
It has been about ten years, but we were huge water skiers and attended US amateur ski championship in that area. Maybe near Seaside. People built a series of lakes designed for slalom and ski jumping. Lot of fun. Beautiful area. The amazing good crab shack on 98, Bayou Bills or something like that was a favorite. Closed down or changed owners last time thru. The crowds and traffic ran me off Destin area. Now I spend my Gulf time somewhere between Pensacola and Gulf Shores.

Good Thursday morning! We are counting down to Hangout Festival and we are on #70, Jai Wolf. From the Hangout website bio: "Mixing a unique future sound with hip-hop and pop elements, Jai Wolf is gaining the attention of fans and influential musicians alike. After Skrillex saw a tweet containing Jai’s bootleg of his hit song, “Ease My Mind,” he immediately signed the remix. Since, Jai Wolf has done official work for Alesso, Dirty South, Melanie Martinez, ODESZA, and more. In June 2015, Jai Wolf released his first original single, Indian Summer. Within three weeks, Indian Summer hit #1 on the US Spotify Viral Charts, and has gained global recognition. Jai Wolf has toured nationally including pitstops at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Hard Summer, and will wrap up the year with a headlining tour in Australia this Fall."
From Techibeats: "Jai Wolf: Sure! My real name is Sajeeb. I’m from New York city – been there for the past 10 years, it’s kinda my home."
Comments? Another mixmaster. Should keep the folks dancing and grooving on the beach.
I'm going to try to catch him at Buku this weekend. He's a little chill for what I usually listen to, but he's not terrible. But Sajeeb? Donald Trump and his supporters will not be happy about this development. :pitchforks and rakes:
outside of Snails and maybe Flume i prob wont be at any DJ sets

is Galantis a DJ? thought they were a band. I never heard of them til you mentioned them on here and i do like them and would gladly take them as an addition.
SX announced a show featuring a jam session with the Roots and Big Grams + Special Guests. Hangout needs to up their collab game and get that going on the beach.
Yea. Gotta here Jason Isbell and Run The Jewels laying it down. LOL!
An Alabama Shakes + Lenny Kravitz would be interesting. I am expecting Miike Snow and the Wailers to get together (scheduled). Not sure how you collaborate as a DJ or mix master - dueling turntables?
