This weekend marks the return of Fun Fun Fun Fest to the Austin scene for the 7th time. With three days, four stages and so many acts to choose from — legendary hip hop reunions, hot indie bands, cutting edge comedy — deciding what shape your personal FFF Fest schedule takes on can be tricky.

We went straight to the source — Transmission Events, the folks behind Austin's Little Fest That Could — to get the scoop on the best bets for your scheduling dilemmas. The fest's founders, behind-the-scenes masters, and a few faces from Austin's favorite bars, are giving CultureMap readers the inside look at their top picks for the Black, Blue, Orange and Yellow stages.

And yes, Run DMC makes the cut. A lot.
