THE 2010 HANGOUT BEACH MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES TRANSPORTATION PLAN

WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SAFETY, SUSTAINABILITY / ALEX B, GIFT OF GAB, BIG GIGANTIC ADDED TO LATE NIGHT

Gift of Gab

The Hangout Beach Music and Arts Festival has added a late night show on Friday, May 14. Alex B, Gift of Gab
(Blackalicious), and Big Gigantic will take the stage on
Friday night, pleasing the insatiable ears of those who wish to
go big, instead of going home. After 11 p.m., the party will move away from the beach and into The Hangout. Tickets
are $20 in advance, and $25 day of show and are available through the festival website.

In the interest of public safety, traffic flow, and environmental conservation, The Hangout Beach Music and Arts
Festival is announcing its public transportation plan. A shuttle system is now in place, and ample bicycle
rentals and parking will also be available. For non-local festival attendees, zimride.com is hosting a Ride Share application for the event.

Public Transportation: There will be three shuttle routes running north, west, and east from 10am-12am on Friday May 14 – Sunday May 16. Each shuttle ride will cost patrons $3.00, which may be payable in cash upon
boarding. Weekend all-you-can-ride passes are also available at $10.00 per rider. These wristbands may be
ordered online through the festival website, and they may also be purchased at the festival box office and on each
shuttle bus.

Road Closures: Portions of Hwy 59 will be closed midnight on Thursday May 13 through 6am on Monday
May 17. Highway 59 will be closed for public access for all points south of 1st Street. Beach Blvd will be closed
from East 1st Street to West 2nd Street. West 1st Street will also be closed south of West 1st Avenue.

official bicycle provider for The Hangout Beach Music and Arts Festival. To rent a bicycle, contact 251-974-2025 or
visit their website at www.obbicycles.com. It is recommended that bikers bring and use their own locks.

Carpooling: Non-local festival travelers are encouraged to carpool in the interest of conservation, and a
Ride Share application is being hosted by Zimride. Travelers may find a ride or someone to pitch in for gas by
