ACL

The mud is everywhere!!! I lost one of the two pairs of shoes I brought with me to Austin. By the time I got to them they were rank. The other pair just got a good bath, but alas the yellow converse are smashed in the trash compacter now. Sad face.

The three days at ACL were awesome. First day was nice and cool. The grass was sweet. I actually told someone it was the softest grass I've ever felt. None of that itchy crap. The second day however was a biblical storm. It poured. I think I gained ten pounds of water weight just from my shirt. The third day was a freaking mess. I've never seen more mud in my life. Three inches throughout the whole park. It was so wet however none of it ever stuck to your shoes, and the cleanest mud you'll ever see. One of my friends drove by the day after and said the entire park looked like a rodeo pit. There goes the new and improved park.

Best performance out of the whole weekend had to be the last I saw. The Dead Weather was beyond words, but I'll try. I've never seen a better set. The crowd was kind of dull at first, I don't think they had heard them before. The girl from The Kills, Allison Mosshart, had to be on something. I'm not talking the weed half the crowd was on, but the heavy shit. She was freaking out, laying on the stage, and generally going crazy. If she was at church someone might of said she was possessed by the Holy Ghost or the devil. At one point she stopped singing and just danced around. Sounds horrible I know but the performance was spectacular.

So in all the weekend was a total success. Saw a man crowd surf in green latex from head to toe. Had a homeless guy ask for some spare change "for a crack rock". Spent some time with good friends and made some new ones.

Oh and the bands I saw so you can see how cool I am:
The Knux, Avett Brothers, Coheed and Cambria, Thievery Corporation, Kings of Leon, Citizen Cope, Mos Def, Ghostland Observatory, Here We Go Magic, B-52's, White Lies, Arctic Monkeys, Toadies, and The Dead Weather.
