Of all the weekends...

The lineup for the 2011 Beale Street Music Festival (BSMF) was announced today and it made me elated for about 10 minutes, then I more closely looked at the dates.

MGMT. In my backyard. Freakin' awesome. Rockin' out on Friday night, after Cake, after The Flaming Lips---yes please!

The whole lineup looks much more awesome than last year. I'm not a fan of Earth, Wind and Fire or Bret Michaels. Bigger headliners this year, or at least in my musical world.

I could totally take a nap all morning to recover from getting up 4 AM to watch William and Kate get married. However, the Captain is a groomsman in his best friends wedding that weekend 2 states away. Doh.

I shake my fist at those that plan REALLY COOL things in the Memphis area the one weekend I can not and will not change my plans.

For those of your that are going to be in the area, or wouldn't mind a drive (I promise it will be worth it!) check out the website. Just don't send me a postcard telling me how awesome it was.

Fingers crossed for next year.

Cheers!
