Regards the cost of Hangout roofoot and moten33, I have 6 years of experience. I either go by myself or pay 95% of the tab for son and friends. I am lucky if someone will buy one grocery bill or lunch. Not complaining. Comes with success I guess. I stay a week. That saves me a little as I usually receive 7 days for 5. Then there is my son's ticket. Gas there and back and around is $200. Food is $100 a day for me easy as this is vacation and I love, love, love Gulf seafood. Then there are the drinks, t-shirts, and other accessories. It adds up. If I make a trip to Foley or stock up or Pensacola for booze, my trip could cost $3,000-5,000.
I can drive to Nashville, see a great show, sleep over in my bed at my son's apartment, nice dinner for about $200. Pilgrimage Fest probably less than $500. I can stay with my cousin in Pensacola and have a great weekend doing the local thing for about $500. It is all about cost vs benefit.
In the days of my youth...Zeppelin lyrics?...I could do the shared stuff, cheap liquor, and have a great time for about $800 too. Enjoy your youth my friend!
Makes total sense...each person's story is different. Just for the record...even though there are 6 of us in a condo and we are sharing stuff, I am 49 years old and half of the crew is older than me. Our youth is long gone but we still thrown down and maybe we are just having a mid-life crisis!!
I think you and I share a good bit of music taste (and yes, those are actually the very first Zep lyrics..."I was told what it means to be a man" is the finish to that line. I dig some jam, americana, classic rock, etc like you do and wish there was a touch more on this lineup, but I will just get that else where...that's an easy get living in the Nashville area. I have heard good things about Pilgrimage (in my hometown!!) and plan on hitting it up in 2017...I would love to buy you a drink and listen to a good guitar solo or two with you there.

Anyone wanna help me with a Hangout article? Just answering some basic True/False questions, some scale of 1-10, a couple open ended questions. Explanations not needed. Just need a diverse group to share some varying opinions on the State of the Hangout Fest (2017 Edition). If you're down shoot me a message on here and I'll give you the questions, possibly will do it as a group discussion if I think it will be beneficial for the article, and it would be your choice if you'd wanna be included. Doesn't matter if you like this year's lineup or are even going.
For starters the lineup has been headed this direction for awhile. Just had taken some time to get the community on board. I've said this before, but the idea is to bring young folks to Gulf Shores. This way they show off the beauty and young folks will choose to come back and vacation with their families when they get older and have kids. It really is a beautiful community. If I lived in the area I would attend, but the draw coming up from Canada just isn't there this year. Of course the entire thing started after the oil spill. I think there was an original concert with Jimmy Buffet no?
Just witnessed Bill Murray leading the crowd in an encore chant at Lupe Fiasco's show. He stuck around for 4 more songs and then told Bill to go fuck himself and let him go home. Bill also threw his beer at the crowd during Next To It. I am redeemed for missing Umph/Lupe collaboration.
Domestic partner doesn't sound as nice. Haha. We are legal registered domestic partners and have lived together for 10 years with no plans of marriage to be specific.
Hahaha gotcha.
There was a beautiful ceremony planned at the Hangout Chapel, but Moten broke out in a rash and ran scared. I wore my best flip flops and everything.

No. 2010 was before oil spill if I remember correctly. Then they used BP money to bring Bon Jovi and Brad Paisley in to encourage tourist to return. Oil spill was 2011?

BP Spill was 4/20/10. Which would of been a month before Hangout. I believe there was a Jimmy Buffett concert that was in addition to Hangout.

Ooops...Spill was April 2010. Been awhile. I already had tickets. Brad and Bon Jovi were summer after first Hangout.
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
A lot of rap on this lineup. I have a feeling that they turn the tent into more of a rap genre based and put the big EDM guys on the beach.....total flip of years past. I can also see Sigur Ros in the same slot as Leon Bridges last year. 8pm on AXStv stage
Billions is showing The Head and the Heart for Thursday as well as the weekend. Before, it was showing only Thursday. Mumford doesn't even have it back up on their page.

I can't like this enough. However, you still should've caught Umph and Lupe on the beach.
