I wanted to be cheap, as Russian Hotel Boy had suggested, and park at Burger King. But I didn't want to have to do the 15 minute walk to the venue. The stores near the venue warned of towing for those who were not customers. So I went ahead and paid…

But after I got in the car, and started to drive, it began to drizzle! Nevertheless, I tried to stay positive. I stopped at the crackpot hippie store, a place that sold rock n' roll memorabilia, incense, tie-died stuff. Their motto is "stop by toda…

As I packed my suit case and got ready to check out, the rain had finally slowed and come to a stop. It was done! Maybe things would be alright. Athough, it remained quite cloudy. I brought some stuff to my car before checking out, since I had a lot…

When I woke up an hour and a half later, it was still raining! I ate my breakfast in denial (forgot to take a pic of my breakfast!). Turned on the tv. Since it was Sunday, there were a lot of infomericals, Washington news shows, and religious progra…

I pulled into this little bayou area to take pics as well. There's not only ocean but pockets of waterways as well.

After I got settled in my room, I called Mama Tempe and Baby Sis to let them know I had arrived. Mama Tempe had originally made me feel so guilty for wanting to embark on this trip. But now she was super-excited for me. (Typical. She did the same th…

My hotel, the Holiday Inn Express in Gulf Shores. This hotel was fantastic! Brand new. Great breakfast. Really nice, helpful staff. Only three miles from the beach/concert venue. The (very cute) guy checking me in was Russian. He looked a …

Just north of Gulf Shores, the stores are getting more beachy Strawberries, anyone? Since my mom has a fascination with Piggly Wiggly, here's one for her: Mellow Mushroom Pizza store with a creepy tall hippie sign out front. (Notice the palm tre…
