If it's too Cold, you're too Old
That about sums up my feelings on Eaglepalooza. I'm too old.
I hear from the guys at St. Elmo's that they are no longer soliciting bands for Tuesday night shows.
. . . . I was a bunch more excited about the Olive Garden coming to town back when we had only five restaurants in Hattiesburg, and those were all steak places.
Guthrie's is not necessarily the "Best thing to ever happen to chicken (sm)."
Afroman's new album is out. Here's a scathing review of Afroholic the Even Better Times. I haven't heard it yet, but I'm here to tell you that I love Afrodude's raunchy and mysogynistic single Mississippi (Because I Got High) . . . . I get nervous. . . .

Eagelpalooza tonight, sure to be chaos.
Hopefully, fun chaos. There was an article in yesterday's American that states there are still some issues around the event, so we'll have to see how it goes. I get off work at 6 and my building is right in the middle of he mess, so here's hoping I can get home.
Here's the latest on what I've heard about the line-up:
The stage will be on Main Street at Batson near The Oaks Cafe. Vendors will offer food and beverage items, such as hot chili and beer in "limited areas." (Courtesy Mugshots.) Kicks off at 6 pm with a DJ spinning songs, followed by 'Hey Revolution' (???) at 6:30, a DJ at 7 pm, Pat Green at 7:30, a DJ at 9 pm, the SOUTHERN MISS PEP RALLY at 9:30, a DJ at 10 and the show's headliner, DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL, performing from 10:30 to midnight.
Ooooh, a PEP RALLY!

Eaglepalooza SNAFUs
Why can't we ever have anything nice? Here's a story about the travails of Eaglepalooza, which is set for the 18th.
I do think the light opera meets heavy rock in a downtown rumble will be pretty fun. (Ok, the rock will not be so "heavy," but the word works for my journalistic purposes.) Puts me in mind of the Coast Con (Science Fiction convention on the Coast)/gun show debacle of several years ago. Geeks with light sabers meet rednecks with Uzis! Good times, people.

The Annual Authentic Existence Multimedia Minimalist Technology Conference
is an institution in Hattiesburg. Under the auspices of old-school Hattiesburg musician Scott Panther, The Conference is a two-day showcase of the innovative, experimental, loud and crazy.
This is the 11th year of The Conference. Each year, Panther says that it's the last, but Hattiesburg just won't let him retire. The Conference is November 15th and 16th this year, and I strongly recommend that you try to catch at least one of the nights.
Use the comments section below to post your memories of The Conference of years past.

Gulf Coast "Band Aid"
There's an instrument drive on for Coast school bands. If you would like to donate instruments or money, please contact Jacqueline Pierce, who has this to say:
Jacqueline can be reached at JacquelineP@edajones.com.
This is for a good cause, guys. See what you have lying around that you can donate.
The need for monies and instruments for the schools and students along the Gulf Coast is enormous. There is a need not only for today's band students, but for future band students as well. When the families of these future band students don't have suitable housing and have lost so much, they simply won't have the money for flutes and clarinets. This will have an affect not only on high schools on the Gulf Coast, but a long term affect on colleges and university's in the State of Mississippi.
Jacqueline can be reached at JacquelineP@edajones.com.

I don't need a record deal
I stumbled across this site when I got a google alert about Hattiesburg music. Seems that she was planning on speaking here tomorrow (the 2nd), but perhaps it was called off? If anyone knows anything about this, please contact me or leave a comment. Interesting site, too.
