After the show, don't forget to head up to Earnestine and Hazel's, a very trippy and ghost-filled after-hours bar.  Its the kinda place that is nearly empty all night until the clubs close and then it can be packed at 2AM with people grubbin' on "soul burgers".

Alot of movies and stuff get filmed there (21 Grams, I Walk The Line, Elizabethtown, etc).

After Beale St. Music Fest in 2004 or so, after Big Star played the festival, they did a late night set there.  It could be dead or it could be hopping, you just never know until you show up.

I've been making plans with Amy this morning. I can't decide whether to stay for Sunday night and make it to work late or come back on Sunday. I really need to be at work on Monday.

really hoping for the bluesiest tune (and personal albino whale) of all the tunes to make an appearance at the blues fest - Honest Man...desperately hoping, waiting, wondering...

Since Megadeath is playing Friday night too, I'd really like to see Dave Mustaine play with Remnants with them. I can probably keep dreaming, but I'd be totally fine with it. Are you staying downtown, JP? I'll be at my friend's house in midtown. It would be great if we could meetup at some point.

I'd be more than fine with a Megaremnants    I'll be staying with a friend who lives somewhere just outside of downtown though, not sure where exactly. Not sure if I'll be coming in Thurs night or Fri either, but I know I'll be somewhere on the rail all day for NMS Allstars and Florence too. I'll PM you my digits  :beer:

It'd be awesome if MMJ covered Angry Again with Dave.

I could get behind that! Heck, I'd even be ok with a Psychotron cover ;D .

EasyRyder, please do! I'm getting in on Friday. I'll have my youngest daughter with me so she can entertain my friend's girls while we go to the festival. I doubt that we'll go until late afternoon/early evening on Saturday. If you can get to Germantown, try Los Tortugas. They have amazing Mexican food. It might be a little out of your way though.

I'm so looking forward to this! Last semester I closed it out at MSG and this semester I'm ending things up by the banks of the Mississippi! This is going to be a great weekend! I'm also looking forward to Dr. Dog, Al Green, Florence and her Machine, and MEGADEATH! Oh yeah!

Hey Fully, You had a great time in Memphis and then you opened this school year with a trip to RED Muthafuckin' Rocks! Oh yeah. There were two guys hopped up on adderall who stomped all over your toes in Memphis during Dr. Dog, but they've healed up pretty nicely!
