ACL Fest


Clarence got me and my friend, Lora tickets to ACL Fest!
For those of you who may not know ACL is Austin City Limits and they have a music festival every year and it is AWESOME! You can check out more info at: www.aclfestival.com

It's for 3 days, 8 stages, & 130 bands - it's non-stop excitement!!

So,... here's Lora and I on the first evening. We hadn't been there for very long, so that's why we still look "refreshed"!



Our tickets included access to the exclusive, Grove area! Here's the "Grove" - it's the only shade, and you must have a wrist band to get in. Plus - free drinks, food, and FLUSHABLE potties! That was an extra special bonus - NO porta-potties!




Day 2 - chillin' at the Grove!





On Day 2 we learned something - the dust is HORRIBLE! Imagine 65,000 people waling around on dirt, stirs up some CRAZY dust! Everybody was hacking, sneezing, & sniffling!
Lora got it REAL bad, so the next day - everyone seem to come better prepared and we all dressed up like....


BANDITS!




There were TONS of bandits! And, although t was a little funny, it sure did help out a lot!

I thought this pic was funny - everyone fighting over a piece of shade!




See all of the people against the GREAT Austin sky line!



One of my new fave bands that I was lucky to see, was Fly Leaf!
They are a Christian Rock Band & they were FABULOUS!

By the last night, we were SO tired!
We did not feel like fighting our way to the front to see Foo Fighters.
So,... here they are - believe it or not.
They still gave a GREAT show!!!!





YAY ACL Fest! Good times!!!!
