The drinks on Beale Street are in excess and available right on the sidewalk during the Music Festival. Syringes of Jello Shooters are hawked every few feet by beautiful girls, and Beale Street's "Big Ass Beers" are everywhere. Silky O' Sullivan's is a popular spot, featuring their massive drink called "The Diver" which is served in a bucket with an abundance of straws so that everyone in your party can enjoy the potent brew. "If you drink one, you're guaranteed to go down!" Wet Willy's lies at the far end of Beale next to Dyer's Burgers, where you can buy any frozen concoction that you can imagine to help fend away the early summer heat. I suggest a beverage called the "Call a Cab", which is one of the more potent drinks you can buy on Beale. When you visit, prepare yourself for a variety of outlandish characters that you'll run across. The party seems to bring out the loud and proud from every nook and cranny, and you'll see them all in their sublime glory along the street. These individuals appear in droves and contribute their own specialized form of celebration. Fixtures that seem to show every year include the charismatic "Pimp Daddy" who poses for every photo opportunity that comes his way, especially if it involves the ladies. Maybe you'll see the young man who hands out "Free Advice", which is usually fairly good. Athletic men flipping down Beale Street in acrobatic displays of skill and leprechauns dressed in green dot the thoroughfare. Jugglers, singers, and bead-throwers all join the mix to form a motley crew of joyful partiers. Perhaps you'll even find a way to stand out from the crowd next year! Don't be afraid! It's Beale Street, where (almost) anything goes!
