Haha. That was last year. It's not coming back again this year as both members did 2 shows. Since I'm only there in spirit this year, I'll hopefully be able to stream some sets I would have wanted to go to anyway, but that schedule probably comes out even after the actual.
They must have had artists drop. No announcement of the previous adds. Just slapped them on there. They said they released the full album with no discussion surrounding adds. Just a strange year...the ladies must been done discussing outfits is it our turn boys?

Update on the west gate keg, looks like there will be two smaller kegs instead of one, Magic Hat #Nine (Number nine...Number nine...Number nine) and an Avondale brew.
Probably. I've never watched an episode, so it's hard to be a fan. Having said that, all my friends love it. Having said THAT, all of my friends are geeks.

Riot Fest, Life is Beautiful, ACL, FFF, Utopia, VooDoo, Hula Line Up 2.0. Still some stuff to distract me from the schedule....but shit we almost 2 weeks away.
You want news? Haha. How about the Old People's Guide to Hangout Fest via the Pensacola News Journal. Lots of popups and a 30 day trial, but f that. Here's for all you old people.
Moon: Old people's guide to Hangout Fest Pensacola News Journal 1:24 p.m. CDT May 3, 2016
Hey fellow old people. I know that Hangout Festival lineup scares you a bit. You look through the roster of 70-plus acts scheduled to perform in Gulf Shores, Ala., later this month and recognize only Lenny Kravitz, and he's just, well, meh.
Yes, I know. You used to be cool. You saw Black Oak Arkansas and Molly Hatchet tear it up at a rodeo arena back in the 1970s. You used to party with the long-hairs backstage back in the day and ended up being a lyric in a Grand Funk Railroad song. That's when you were "Sweet sweet Connie." Now, you're just Mrs. Connie or, as the kids today say, "that old lady down the street who yells at cats."
Yet Hangout Festival leaves you confused and intimated. But you still like music right? You're on your tenth cassette version of Styx's "Pieces of Eight" and still blast Boston loud at home.
Here's a little help:
Act names: One of the top names for Hangout weekend is, well, The Weeknd. That's a strange way for a band to spell its name, right? Well, not only is The Weeknd spelling impaired, it's not even a band. It's one dude. We oldsters thought there was a rule. If you're "The" something, it's a band. If it's a name, it's a solo act. On the other end, Miike Snow is performing at Hangout as well. He's not a he. He's a band. And there is no one named Miike Snow in Miike Snow. Back when we walked uphill to school both ways, bands had normal band names. Moby Grape, Camper Van Beethoven, the Flamin' Groovies, Mission of Burma, Soft White Underbelly — which became Blue Oyster Cult — Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Electric Prunes. You know, normal stuff.

Hangout Music Fest 2016: Need-to-know info
Acts to hear: Promise, you might not know the songs, but at least the genre-and-sound will seem familiar. Check out Alabama Shakes, Jason Isbell (formerly of the Drive-By Truckers), Kurt Vile & the Violators (sad-sacked freak folk-rock); the Wailers (reggae, of course), the Revivalists (New Orleans favorites and popular with Pensacola old people), and Courtney Barnett — who channels two old-people favorites, Nirvana and Liz Phair. And Kravitz, if you must.
For details on the music fest, visit www.hangoutmusicfest.com. (That's a place on the computer. Ask your grandkids to help you out.)
Acts perform different now: Don't be alarmed. There will come a point during Hangout when you'll see one person on stage, and then a whole bunch of music and instrumentation coming through the speakers. Who is making the music? Is it karaoke? No, that one person at the computer on stage is making all the music on his laptop. Guitars, drums, bass? No, that's old school. Who needs to know how to play an instrument when you have Windows 10. (When I was at Gulf Coast School of Music lately, I don't remember them advertising "computer" lessons. They were stuck in the mindset that it takes musical instruments to make music. Fogies.) Sure, there's something to be said for a live band. It's a kinetic, fluid experience — think Townshend's windmill; Neil's mad-man guitar stomps with Crazy Horse; the hair-on-fire passion of the MC5; the fury of the Clash. Yes, you miss that with some of the electronic performers. Though I did watch a video of Calvin Harris, a producer/DJ kind of guy who is playing at Hangout. You should have seen his moves on the computer. Insane! He was hitting buttons and twirling dials like a madman. Reminded me of Hendrix at Monterey or the Who at Woodstock.
also looking at the VIP perks it mentions that you get free wifi. my question is those of you in VIP do you know if they give you a password to connect to? IF so you guys should be pals and share it with us when you get it!

Yea you get the wifi password in the grove. It's a new password each day. They also had wifi last year.
on the website Fetty Wap has 3,253 likes to RTJ's 917
Zoogma has the least amount of likes not counting the pre-party at 53
Hahahhahaha. Hahahahaha. Hahahhahaha. Those are two of the best acts on the lineup. Fetty > Run the Jewels by a 3.5:1 margin? Hahahahahahaha
Edit - yeah I know those types of social media clicks are more likely than not to come from the MMM76 generation than the old fux, but still. I'm laughing at this.

condo/beach parties. really no bars worth or close enough to go to. We stayed on 59 our first year and went to MudBugs but its just a dirty dive bar full of mostly locals and expired beer.
