Austin City Limits Music Festival...
You pay for the tickets a year in advance...before you even know the lineup...
You sit, stand, walk, eat, and nap out in the hot sun for three full days...paying outrageous prices for food and beverages...and inhaling smoke, dust and God knows what else being kicked up by the constant movement of thousands of feet...
And it is ALL worth it!!! (IMO)
I don't know more than a few of the bands...and of those I know some only by name, but it is just a great experience!! If you like to hear new things and all different sounds, it is great! If you want just country...or rock...or whatever you hear on the radio...go somewhere else, I guess. I love ACL because there is such a variety there...and it therefore draws such a variety of different fans. People watching is a great part of the whole weekend. Of course, the music is the best part. There is also lots of free stuff...like a tent where you can get spray on tattoos and crazy hair-dos...and then there are the merchandise tents with cd's and tshirts...and the shopping area where local vendors sell their products. It is an altogether great experience, even if you are too tired to move by Sunday evening...
Here are a few pics from the weekend
Jenny Lewis...my competition ;)
A few of our group...just hanging out!
And a couple of my crazy hair-do on Sunday...
It was a great time...and yes, we have already bought our tickets for next year!!
