Whoa-MG! Happy Valentine's Day to us.
Yesterday the social media accounts for Fortress Festival promised a big announcement set to detonate this Wednesday, Feb. 15th...

At FWN we proudly specialize in speculation, hype and delusion; subsequently we'll be following through on all of the above with news of yesterday's tease.

Who? What? When? Where? How? Somebody throw us a bone here!
It's cool. We got you.
Here's a few possibilities for the Fortress Festival announcement tomorrow:
1. "I feel just like a local god when I'm with the boys"
My gut and my heart are telling me there's goin' to be a another local act added to the lineup. Ya know? Like, a big one. Toadies, Leon Bridges, DRD, something of that ilk.

2. "Blame it on the rain, yeah yeah"
A SPECIAL FORTRESS FESTIVAL TASK FORCE HAS UNCOVERED MILLI VANILLI REALLY DID SING ON GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE ... CLEARING THEIR NAME AND CLEARING THE WAY FOR A MOST EPIC COMEBACK VIA LIVE PERFORMANCE ON THE FORTRESS FESTIVAL STAGE!!!*
*so one of the 'illis passed away and I'm roughly 100000% certain they did NOT sing on that record.. but eff it, one can dream
I want both these hats btw
3. "Yeahhhhhhhhhhh boyyyyyyyyyyyy!"
This festival deserves a hype man, a herald, an emcee!!!
Bring on Andrew W.K. or Bernie Sanders! Or maybe that Texas Law Hawk lawyer kid, or that dude Gallagher that smashes watermelons.
Anyone, truly, I'll take any of 'em.
Gallagher as Fortress Festival Master of Ceremonies? Sign. Us. Up.
So there you have it, three seriously realistic possibilities in play for tomorrow's announcement.
*fills out application to Clairvoyant College*
UPDATE: So... we received a form rejection letter from Clairvoyant College - apparently, we suck at this. On Wednesday, Feb. 15th Fortress Festival released the daily schedule and began the sale of single day tickets.

about the word writer person:
Prewitt Scott-Jackson writes Dad poetry & short fiction when he's not hyping and typing for Fort Worth Noise. His writing can be found in Ghost City Press (New York), Five 2 One Magazine (Los Angeles), Prairie Schooner (University of Nebraska Press) and Sick Lit Magazine (Texas), among others. He prefers short walks on the beach because – and I quote – “It’s really hard to walk on sand.”
