Get ready for magical mystery headliner of Stevie Wonder.
I actually called this but I couldn't tell you the offer was out. They were still trying to work out the details the day the lineup was released. I haven't been able to find out if the offer was made before Wednesday or if someone dropped out.

Yea, Stahr is right. He was first blurt. Also, could Old Crow be one of the Thursday performers? The Avetts can only play Sunday and it looks more unlikely with each date that gets added to their tour. Petty plays Saturday unless a bigger name comes, then that artist will play Saturday. Just a guess.
But, Long, those sit-ins you mentioned would make for one of the best shows I've ever seen. Hangout is kinda harsh on set-times and encores. And last year, there was only one collaboration that I saw all weekend, and that was Alex Ebert from Ed Sharpe and a few other folks, come out with Michael Franti. Anyone see any other collabs last year?
And just one last thing here, and I'll be out of your hair. Remember to be careful on bands putting that they are playing Friday on their tours because a lot of bands just put the first day of the festival on their schedule. But I bet Kings of Leon will play Friday, and I bet they'll be better than I'm expecting.

So other than Island Winds West and East, what are some condos that are super close (w/in a mile) to look into?
Does anyone know whether you can upgrade your GA ticket for VIP at the festival or does that have to be done in advance of the show? Hoping to score cheap VIP tix from the condo but if that falls through I would want to upgrade at the festival.

I'd be happy with Stevie. That would be more along the lines of Paul Simon the first year. Universal appeal, great for group dance parties in the sand. That Simon set 2 years ago was my favorite moment of any festival or concert I've been to for that very reason. I'm not claiming it was the best performance I've ever seen, just that it was perfect for Sunday night on the beach and my friends made the best of it. Gettin a little emotional just thinking about it. May is so far awayyyy

I have really mixed feelings about Wonder. If it's just him, I'm not interested, but sit-ins really interest me. Unless they announce as Wonder and friends with some of the friends listed, I think it'll be a bust. Just because someone that's there could sit-in doesn't mean it'll happen. I was so pumped at Wanee last year for all the potential sit-ins with Further and Brothers, and none of it happened. I'm still trying to find out if someone dropped or if this was the plan.
Made this to trick a friend into believing it was Mumford and Sons. I "unscrambled" the blurred clue with my rudimentary Photoshop skills. Might post onto the Facebook hangout to see if we can get a response after the last week seemed to do so.
re: collaborations Kim Deal sit in with KOL on Where Is My Mind? **** that would be amazing.
I just hope they put The Breeders on the Main Stage. Or at least the Chevy. The Letting Go Stage's sound was too shotty when you got to the back of the crowd to me. You had to be up as close as you can to get a good listen.
The first thing I do when I get to gulf shores is search for a cheap VIP ticket. You know damn well there's gonna be an Anders and a Moon Taxi set in the grove...maybe even a Jim James set. Any of those would be awesome to see while Slightly Stoopid is taking a shit on the main stage.

Of those properties listed as available these are within walking distance:
Gulf House Gulf View Island Sunrise Lighthouse San Carlos Sand Dollar Seawind The Whaler
I stayed at Island Shores in 2011, Seawind in 2012, and San Carlos this year. Each year I'm getting 1 building closer to the gates! It's about a 10 minute walk from those buildings.

You're right...
I rented through Meyer the first year (on 12th street and west beach), then Kaiser last year (10th and west beach)...this year jumped over to VRBO and found a sick house with a pool 1/4 mile from the east festival entrance. I think I may have found my permanent spot...VRBO really has the best options and most of them aren't jacked up to a special one-week concert rate like the commercial companies.

Stevie Wonder isn't capable of being a "bust." You gotta be totally clueless to think the legend, Stevie Wonder, with a band of tight professional and session musicians wouldn't be a huge throwdown on the beach! Stevie at Roo was f'n ridiculous........dude came out raging a Keytar.
Also, the band is called Furthur, and Bob Weir sat in with the ABB for The Weight > It Makes No Difference reprise on 4/20/12.
I'm well aware of the spelling, wasn't paying attention that it was autocorrect. I've never checked out any Wonder. You're right he's a legend, I'm not sure what I had my little mind made up to see. I should have been more specific about the sit-ins. I was thinking more sit-ins with Furthur. The way the Weight went, I'm not so sure that was planned, especially the way Gregg was that night.
Last time I saw Stevie Wonder I was working for NASCAR in Los Angeles and while I was in my office... I started hearing some funky tunes coming from the front of our building. I looked down and saw a whole band and they were playing Boogie On... so I was like... no way that's Stevie... let's see what's going down. I took the elevator down and went out front... guess what? It was Stevie quacking Wonder with his full band playing a surprise hour long show in front of my office to announce his next tour. It was the single greatest day of my summer internship and one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. He closed with Superstition (obviously) and brought tons of 40 something office women on stage to boogie. Amazing!
