Down here on the beach right now. Absolutely beautiful day. My mom was telling me that the locals, the police, and the city are much pissier than usual. Seems like college springbreakers have really done a number. The alcohol ban came after 2 kids died on the beach from alcohol related causes and the 3rd died from a balcony fall which was also related to alcohol. Last year there were several deaths during college springbreak but I think they all involved automobiles. She said the city hired people to pick up trash on the beach and the road. She also said that they brought in street sweepers to get all the trash out of the road. She said she'd never seen anything this bad before. Seems like families and high school spring break in full effect now.
I'm not counting on any additions at this point. If they happen, cool, but who's to say it wont be another load unlubed meat sandwich. GV, HOF, MTV are all on a bit a short leash I'd be willing to bet. The fest banked on a bunch of children financing a tourist economy and lost. I'd guess next year they'll have a bit of a different line-up, but it's not a risk I'm willing to take. My Spotify Playlist was correctly dubbed "2016 HOF, we had a good run." The setting can only make up for so many shit artist. HUKA really had a good formula for the lineup now we've seen where the last 2 bookers took it. "HOF 2016, rise of the police state."
Anyone going you wanee? So happy with how they handled their schedule.
Seems as if that whole Gulf Coast is clamping down on College spring breakers. Panama City banned drinking on the beach a few years ago.
Hangout essentially lowered their prices from years past with the fees included. Right now the ticket price is $264 plus fees.
They're $289 right now.
If you look at the 'Elevated Ticketing' ticket page, they break down the price. $264 plus $25 in fees. That is lower than last year. Which I think was $269 before fees. Which means they were selling tickets without a ticket increase compared to last year.
I hate to be bearer of bad news but at least we have some closure with this confirmation... I'm in touch with the press contact for an article I'm writing and I'm copying and pasting the following from an email I got from her just a bit ago. I asked her to confirm that the lineup is final since additions have been made in years past:
Yes – the lineup is final! The day-by-day set list should be available in the next week or two, but other than that – you should be good to go.

Is this the press contact for Hangout? If so, she could just be quacking clueless like the rest of the organizers and not know any better (just holding out hope here).

The cake is a lie. We all know we have at least the reach for the beach winner addition!!! Lolz
Who wants to go to Sasquatch or Summercamp next year? This is def my last HoF. Its been fun.
Might do Okeechobee, but car insurance comes due on 3/9, and Buku may or may not coincide. I'm done with alumni tickets ( krisplettuce that PM has been in my outbox for weeks), but I'm not going to rule it out unless the lineup sucks again. Sasquatch is a no go because it's always Memorial Day weekend.
As discussed previously, I have no idea how ticket sales are going. It would be beautiful if giant Los Angeles, California company came to town thinking they could create an uber pop experience to profit off of only to realize that's not what the festival was ever about - at least not exclusively. And those of us in the south aren't all as dumb as the stereotypes. I mean shit, it's already bad enough that probably half of southern Baldwin County doesn't want us there to begin with. Assuming they have not been 100% successful, Why fuck some shit up that wasn't broken? You can just see some uber nerd deciding they have the formula for success when it already existed.

Iafter checking out all of the bands on YouTube and getting an idea of their performances there is a lot here that I will enjoy. There isn't a lot of variety which is the worst part. It's missing the Jam, horns and grit that often came with previous lineups. That being said the music will not be atrocious and it's on the beach. I can't seriously complain a whole lot. I honestly just want adds for something new to be excited for. The lineup came out too early in my opinion with nothing else to drive interest. I still don't think the weeknd is a headliner. Pearl Jam would have been nice and I'm surprised Eddie wouldn't want to head to a fest on the beach. He probably despises BP though. He's like Leo Decaprio light.

Wait what pm?
I guess go to messages and see the one entitled Sup Krisp...
Then there is that other one where me and cmack (funny enough I'm a Dmac's at the moment) sent you cell #s for the weekend.
It is so frustrating the way HOF has handled everything this year. The early lineup drop out of nowhere and it is severely lacking at the top of the lineup (no including Flo). Then, they do not give any worthwhile news or updates. They just leave everyone wondering what the heck is going on. Surely, they know what the schedule is and could have released it weeks ago.

I haven't chimed in with an opinion on the lineup yet in the hopes that an addition announcement was going to turn me around, but I have to agree that I seriously don't see any chance of any game changing additions at this point. The majority of the top end acts are total disappointments for me, but I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the mid and bottom acts that I've been checking out.
Bottom line, I'm coming down with an open mind and hoping when I see the performers I really have a "meh" reaction to that they turn me around with great performances. If they don't, I'm on the beach, I'm getting to see those up-and-comers that I really like and LIFE IS GOOD.
Keg at the whitehouse guys. Together it's going to be a good time.
