JA into Ozzy. Better post up 3 hours ahead of time. How are the crowds and getting to rail during voodoo.
New Thread Title- Hangoutfest 2016: Lets Talk Voodoo Fest Instead
LMFAO. You can usually get to the rail on the extreme outsides, but it's hard to say until they put out the schedule. I see it the way you have it. Halloween night is probably going to go something like Ozzy vs. Steve Angello (and possibly P.I.L. and/or Santigold who may end up vs. Jane's earlier) and then Jane's Addiction from 7:00-8:30 vs. Duke Dumont or Giorgio Moroder. The wildcard here is Lettuce. I planned to figure out a way to catch Clutch > Jane's > Ozzy, but there is a pretty good chance that Lettuce gets a 5/6 set on one of the alternate stages which could conflict with Clutch. In that case, I'll split the sets and probably see more of Lettuce than Clutch since I am a bigger fan of Lettuce (but still dig Clutch too).
Lettuce is playing and un-promoted show in a dining hall at a local University here on Friday. It's not even on their web site. Just picked up some tickets. That should be pretty wild.

I saw them at Bonnaroo a few years ago and I thought they were terrible live. I was very disappointed because I kind of dig them. Just my opinion.[/quote]
That show was great! How can you not appreciate a Michael Winslow sit in?

Monday morning...time to start the countdown...87 days (7+31+30+19) til Thursday pre-party kick-off by my count and double check. Starting from the bottom of the pre-party and working my way to Weeknd...
SAMO SOUND BOY - aka Sam Griesemer, started out in NY and moved his show to LA. Has 6 EP and 2 Albums. Electronic Dance Music (EDM) seems to be the most commonly used classification for his music.
Or 2.9 months. Guess it is the engineer in me. For the non-engineer...it is getting closer to Spring, and Hangout Music Festival.
For the new folks...are there any new restaurants, stores, etc., to check out this year? I usually try to hit Cosmos or Cobalts. Definitely will hit Shrimp Basket and Doc's in OBA. My son is coming with me this year so got to find sushi somewhere for him.
AnCo is so far from this demographic. Their return is pretty huge in the alternative/experimental/indie scene and they're pretty high a top of line-ups. With other bands like Bully, Bass Drum of Death, Health, Kurt Vile and even Grimes adding some weird indie/experimental noise to very poppy line-up, I'd say:

You, my good sir, must have suffered from a massive blow to the head.
The LN '13 AnCo show is still one of my favorite shows I've seen.
I completely understand lots of people aren't into AnCo, but if you're a fan, I'm dumbstruck how you didn't revel in the glory of that show.
Seriously, even just that Michael Winslow intro gets me psyched.
Ken Sumar Captain Ds is pretty popular amongst friends and family. They gave me a gift card. A couple of their meals are ok....others not so much. I avoid squished anything sandwiches. I thought Shrimp Basket was like the Mickey Ds of the Gulf Coast...LOL. So upscale rich dude...where do you eat? Popeyes?
I didn't see the 2013 Roo show...I saw them in 2009...they played in the afternoon on the Which Stage and were riding high after Merriweather Post Pavillion. Granted, my experience was brought down by it being about 99 degrees with 1000% humidity, and no shade. But even outside of that, it was kind of boring and no one was grooving at all. And the band didn't seem into it either. That being said, if they get added I would give them a another chance...7 years is a long time, and a different setting (beach, breeze, maybe after dark or at least at dusk) could make all the difference.

I eat a Squished Fish Patty on a Bun.
But when I'm at a Hangout, I often enjoy the crisp and refreshing taste of an Abita Root Beer while trying to stomach pop acts. Also, I usually eat at the Alabama Seafood section which is where the best grub has been found at Hangout over the last couple of years. I don't stay in Orange Beach or Gulf Shores. We stay at the home-away base in Pensacola. So I'd be eating George's, Tin Cow and similar mid-scale Pensacola restaurants.
Does anyone know if The Undertow in OBA still has Saturday-Sunday afternoons with AYCE boiled/steamed shrimp and crawfish, red potatoes and corn? That was a pretty awesome deal. Cooked fresh outside. Live music. Cold Beer. Like $10 for AYCE. I would take a detour from the festival for a couple hours at the Undertow AYCE.
Ken Sumar Alabama Seafood Section is really good. I tried the paella last year. Who is it that was all over the spicy pie? Was that you? Wish they would connect the Alabama Seafood Courtyard and the Local Brewed Beer area. Cover it with a huge shade tent with air circulating fans would also be groovy. Maybe some big screens with performers live from around the festival site. I've seen that done at festivals and concerts and it works out pretty good.
I will have to check out George's and Tin Cow when I head down to 'Cola. I have a great time with my cousin and friends on Palafox. The Global Grille is like a once a year thing for me but, wow good. My cousin's girl friend is into tapas so we hit up the little sandwich places. I ran into a street musician and rented his guitar for an hour...$10 and a cold beer. Wound up playing a couple hours at a wine bar sidewalk set of tables, made him $30 and had a hell of a good time. Is the disco still in business on the north end of Palafox? Also a crazy but fun place to go (when drinking).
Something interesting I noticed about possible lineup additions: The Lumineers are playing in Houston and Dallas on the Saturday and Sunday of Hangout, but have Friday open. I think they could be one of the "big" additions to the lineup. They have a new album coming out Apr 8th.

Ah, yes, definitely a different show. I was at that show as well.
That was some rough weather for that show. I still really enjoyed it, as did the crowd around me. I was pretty close to the front though, maybe the crowd was just more into it up there? It was also one of my most anticipated shows that year. When the crowd sung along to My Girls...goosebumps.
And agreed, terrible time slot for them, but one of the members had a wedding they had to attend, hence the early set.
But in general, shows at the Which blow. By far my most hated stage at 'roo.
But definitely take the idea that AnCo are terrible live, and strike it from your conciousness. The live show is where AnCo really come into their own.
These shows used to come near my house constantly at Darien Lake. Now, everything decent goes to SPAC and we're stuck with 20 country concerts per summer. Ugh. Traffic is in my top three bands of all time and I really want to see this. Guess it is SPAC or Bethel.

We didn't get the Paella I don't think, but I do love Paella. V. Paul's near Global Grille is also excellent. There are a couple of chefs we met at the Grand Tasting for the WSRE fundraiser last October. Some were from Orange Beach and had excellent and newer styles of fresh cuisine. I think me and someone were discussing it a few hundred pages back. But you had Fisher's at Orange Beach who were not cheap but good. They have a downstairs and upstairs menu. Chef put out some excellent food. This I the higher end (upstairs) menu:

I will give them another chance...that setup was not the best for them. And, like I said, it was like the surface of the sun hot that day...and I was still a bit hungover I believe...I did wonder at the time why they were playing in the middle of the day. I was back in front of the audio board, so not close but not far.
I don't dig the Which stage that much either...no shade and the sound is not great (I haven't been since 2012, so maybe they have fixed that)...but I did see NIN, Flaming Lips, White Stripes and Ben Folds at that stage and it was pretty good...Punch Brothers and Weezer too.

Nah, Which stage is still the weakest at 'roo. I think the sound is better at this point, as long as you're close. More of a crap shoot when you get further out. Being close for Which stage shows makes a big difference for shows on the Which imo.
That NIN show was amazing. I just hung out after The Mars Volta (another good show) and had a great spot for NIN.

Yes, I forgot about that Volta show...that was killer, once Omar retuned his guitar.

Come to think of it...all of the shows I liked at that stage I was pretty close...especially for Weezer

Dang that would suck! I better start practicing my "Hey" chants.

I have no idea about anything about them except I know that they are a folk-indie band. But they have to be better than 60% of this lineup which already does suck.

Ken Sumar with the way u dog this lineup, I'd be surprised if u'd approve of that add. Theyre fine, which is how I feel for the majority of these other acts. Certainly wouldnt upgrade it at all for me. Given ur general musical tastes, idk it'd surprise me if u'd like them.
