Last weekend, Richard and I went the Austin City Limits festival at Zilker Park.
Our ACL experience started out with a bang (and a lot of smoke) as one of the beer trailers caught fire. It ended with Bob Dylan and even now, his voice is no whimper.

Along the way, we saw:
- Joss Stone
- Kaiser Chiefs
- Queens of the Stone Age
- The Killers
- Spoon
- Indigo Girls
- Muse
- The Decemberists
- Blue October
- Damien Rice
- Devotchka
- Amos Lee
- Lucinda Williams
- Ghostland Observatory
- Wilco
- LOTS of friends we hadn't seen in ages. Isn't it funny that in a crowd of 60,000 we managed to run into people we know and love?
Things we didn't see:
- Fire ants (Richard was particularly happy about this)
- Arctic jackets--cooler festival than usual, but still on the warm and humid side
- The aforementioned Pete Yorn
- Shade
And KATIE!! Even though we were at many of the same concerts.
Thus, I am left to believe that sometimes you find things you didn't know you missed when you aren't looking and sometimes, you miss the things you like the most even when they are right in front of you.

Great blog and nice pics! And YAY for you in going to ACL! I'm all pumped up b/c you saw: The Killers, The Indigo Girls, The Decemberists, Amos Lee, Lucinda Williams (!!), and Wilco (!!)!!! What a great trip. I'm also enjoying your stories, but I must say that I love your profile the best. Good work; this rocks!
