Fun Fun Fun Fest 2012 - My Schedule + Top Picks
Like any festival, who and what you see is a matter of preference but unlike the rest I take Fun Fun Fun Fest very seriously. As some one who has seen first hand how bloated and annoying the festival experience can be it's nice to see how much care is spent on every detail during FFF. The next three days features some of the most progressive and respected acts out right now and if you haven't made up your mind on who to catch yet, here are my Top 10 picks (below) that are not headliners as well as my full schedule (above) for the weekend.

Fun Fun Fun Fest Announces Scavenger Hunt Across Texas
Fun Fun Fun Fest announced the details of their 2012 Scavenger Hunt today and this year the contest will span across four Texas cities. Set for September 22nd across Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio the contest sends contestants to various locations across their respective hometowns to mark intriguing and sometime questionable tasks off their lists in order to win tickets and other prizes from Fun Fun Fun Fest.
In past years, fans have gone as far as placing a bartender’s toe in their mouths to getting FFF tattoos on their necks during the course of this fascinating event. All in the name of the festival that unerringly delivers the best in independent rock, electro, hip-hop, metal, punk, and comedy each year. Other items on past lists have included pictures of team members moshing inside a dumpster, petting a fake duck, dousing their faces in queso, and riding a pedicab nude.
This year’s list will be provided at check-in at each city, and the finish line will be revealed on the list. Fans can register for each city’s Scavenger Hunt at http://funfunfunfest.com/scavenger-hunt.
Advance online registration is highly recommended to get your team bonus points. The hunt lasts between 3-4 hours. As always, there will also be several clues on each list that will benefit a variety of local food banks and homeless outreach organizations. In Austin, the beneficiary will once again be CARITAS of Austin.
