Wow. I'm loving the input you guys are posting. I'm limited in time and funds, so all of my "wishlist" weekends are being judged on the experience of people in this thread. I'm listening to anybody that can put up with the Hangout crap that I hate and still have a good time like I do. So far, next year, I'm definitely going to try and join up with Moten and his group at Peachfest, since it's within driving distance and well withing budget. I'm not a camper chick, but, according to him, it's well worth the climb and effort so it's become one of my "do before you die" trips.
Peach Fest is drivable!? Don't you live near Gulf Shores? SOS would seem to be a much better option for you. I'm really hoping to pull off at least Sat./Sun. for Hulaween this year. I loved the Wanee I went to, but it's always the same weekend as 420 in Atlanta which is an easy uber away.
As for Bonnaroo, I honestly can't even come up with a dream lineup that would get me back there ('02,'07)...I wish they would do another event in the spring or fall on the farm.
I live in north mobile county and used to drive a reefer truck cross country for a living, so yeah, it's drivable. As far as Hulaween, Alex just mentioned it tonight, so it may very well be on the radar depending on the cost and time. I just started a new job, so I'm limited to weekends off until next year so wherever I go at the moment has to be pretty freakin close.
this new group Van Ghost is looking pretty interesting. Headed by Jennifer and Natalie from TAB with an all star lineup backing em up. their first single Follow Me came out two weeks ago and it pretty good, bonus with Dominic from Big G on the track. soundcloud.com/vanghost/follow-me
Googled this because I have seen Jennifer and Natalie play in some other jams and they are always great. Looks like they already put this out The Domino Effect, in 2012, in case you wanted to listen to some more of their stuff. Also looks like Natalie didn't have anything to do with the 2012 project, although she is a welcomed addition in my book. Hopefully we get a chance to catch this.
very cool. itd be great if they hit all the fests this summer. "Follow me"'s been getting alot of play on JamOn
But, the reason I frequent this thread is because so many mocks get thrown around, which I love to do myself. The only problem is the shocking things/opinions that some posters in here have.
But thats whats great about music, so many on this forum try to be snobs and tell you a certain a certain bands sucks and every band they like is amazing. Hell I share very little, if any of the same tastes as Bob here yet we both can go and have a blast without being at even one of the same set. I am not a fan of sooo many bands that are universally loved on this site but we dont have to stalk every active thread to shit on what people enjoy (not you in particular)

I really DONT'T rag on people very hard for their tastes. I only comment on people's taste when they request bands that I've either heard from many people are terrible live or I've witnessed the atrocity in person, but is think I've only really done this to beachbob because, despite his unrelenting efforts to seem genuine, I just can't imagine someone wanting SOOOO many shitty bands when there are other great options. I also tend to call people out when their mocks are way too strong on the top line or they have acts that are almost guaranteed to not be at HOF (Prince, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Rolling Stones, ect.)
i like the talking about the mocks, i think we all do. After the first like 4 lines its hard to gauge where some acts would go so feedback is always cool. I prob interact with Bob less than anyone else on here but the man likes what he likes, im sure not gonna go shit on that like some do.

Are there any pop acts you'd be cool with seeing headline? It's not my favorite genre but I think it would be fun with friends and I would enjoy seeing a pop act as one of the headliners.

Well, now I really hope I get a chance to sit around the proverbial campfire and here some of those cross country stories!...Smokey and the Chickasaw.
Hulaween has 2 day passes, but they're Sat./Sun....I guess you could pull that off if you stay in driving condition on Sunday.

Any response will, of course, be red meat for the trolls, but I'll bite. I've only seen him on the Super Bowl and SNL, but I think I could enjoy Bruno Mars with the wife dancing next to me.

There are a handful of pop acts that I'd be cool with seeing (i probably wouldn't stay for their entire shows, but I'd check half if it didn't have a bad conflict.) Just off the top of my head... Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars are all amazingly talented. That being said, idk if HOF can get any of the first three.
Ed Sheeran. Taylor Swift. Id be down w/ JT. GWAR. Lionel Richie. Mark ronson and Bruno Mars,
I dont mind people's taste in music. I dont like people talking shit about someone due to their taste in music. Theres only two bands I like to talk smack about. KoL and FoP.

Justin Timberlake would be cool but they would need to balance it out with some Switchfoot, Papa Roach or Hinder.

And Smashmouth. Can't forget smashmouth. Let's just early 2000 the fuck out of it.
Don't look now, but #teambeachbob is now recognized in two threads.

Timberlake would be my #1 pop request. Good list. I would be ok with all of those. My wife likes Maroon 5, and I would prefer they wouldn't take a headlining spot, but if they could take the Paramore or Jack Johnson spot I would like that for her. I would also be ok with Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, or Rihana. I would catch Madonna if she played (though she's too big for Hangout I think). I would rather have about 40 rock acts, but if they picked a pop performer I would be good with any of those. I would rather have a pop act than a country act.
