So I went to the Memphis in Mud Beale Street Music Fest this past weekend and my BFF was flying in, but because of the tornadoes and floods his flight got cancelled. DAMN! I still went and my God it was the BEST year yet.
I started out over at PFC’s apartment partaking in some pre-festival festivities. We all walked over the the location and very soon after I was separated from everybody.
I was wearing three sprays each of 4X IO and Ishine. The sun was shinning at a nice 82. It was the perfect weekend for a music fest. There wasn’t even that much mud there, but the place was jam packed with Southern girls all wearing next to nothing.
I started off watching Cage the Elephant at the prompting of a girl named Mo. They were damn good. I must have talked and danced with 5 or 6 girls at each show. Then I was walking over to see Cake when I heard the wailing of incredible Blues guitar. I couldn’t just walked by as it was calling my name. I checked out a dude named Big Bill Morganfield and he was so incredible I ended staying his whole set and missed Cake.
Next it was off to a bunch of other sets with a bunch of other bands. I kept drinking and dancing and just having a great freaking time. I finished off the night meeting up with my wing for Jason Mraz, but then quickly got “lost” from him while dancing with some girls. After three songs I moved onto Jimmie Vaughn for three songs then capped it off with Stone Temple Pilots for the remainder of their set. They were amazing and everybody was grooving. Even though I was alone I ended up next to two girls and a dude who was dating the blond from the looks of it. Well the brunette started dancing with me and she was getting frisky. She had a beer so I knew she was at least 21 so I went in for the kiss. Score and before long we were making out.
At the encore she was like give me your phone. Sure why not I thought, when she added she was only in town for the show and after her friends dropped her off she expected me to come to her hotel (I’m assuming where she was staying). In the park and everywhere else in the world at&t reception is horrible. Its such bad service they have an app for that too 
. Well all day my phone had been attempting to send out my texts and twitters and kept cycling over and over so little did I know my phone was just about dead. She put her number in, handed me the phone back and I put it in my pocket and preceded to make out a little more. Funny because I don’t even recall her name.
When we split up I promise to call (she made me pinky swear) I headed off and of course the very first thing I go to check after I leave is her number but guess what? Well you don’t have to guess, because I already told you: my iPhone bat was dead. I met up with my wing at a pre-determined locale and walked the mile to the Jeep. I plugged the phone in to charge it and it was apparently so dead it took a few minutes to charge enough to come back on.
Well after it came on you won’t believe it, but I guess it went dead right after she put the number in and it DIDN’T save it! FML!
OK so Saturday was another great day and same mix. I did bring a pen and paper with me this time just in case and ended up getting a couple numbers. Then out of the corner of my eye, as I am leaving I catch me a very familiar face and I was like score, only it wasn’t actually her. After the show I went to club Rehab to catch DJ Baby Anne which was off the hook. Then Sunday we got hit with more tornadoes and we are now evacuating all the towns around us as the Mississippi is about to crest at its highest level ever. I think we might be safe in my town as we haven’t gotten the word we need to get out.
Sunday/Monday starting at 2:30 in the am I was invited to a private party for all the bands. I hung out with some really cool people. Overall no hookups to say, but man what a freaking good time. I slept until 4 pm on Monday recovering. Yeah Ishine and IO is the ultimate party mix and Ishine is very attractive and every single time I have worn it without any type of rone or none I’ve ended up with better more consistent results.
