Just life in general...

So, clearly, this whole blog thing is hard when there isn't too much going on. However, the past month has been busier than usual, so I'll blog about that.

ACL


ACL was a lot of fun this year. Part of the fun (a huge part) was that I had gotten $50 3-day passes last year right after the 2009 festival. We were slightly disappointed with the lineup at first, but seeing as it only cost us $50 each for the whole week, it was well worth it! Incidentally, I won the same $50 tickets for the 2011 festival...woohoo!! We go to ACL every year (since 2003) and this was by far, the best weather EVER. It was also pretty relaxed as we didn't have to rush between stages to see a ton of bands.

Friday I saw Spoon, Ryan Bingham and Phish. Phish was NOT my thing and honestly, I wanted to kill myself by the time the show was over.

Saturday we saw LCD Soundsystem (awesome) and Broken Bells. On Saturday night of ACL, we went to an aftershow at Stubb's to see the Black Keys - they were awesome!

Sunday we saw Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Flaming Lips, the National and a bit of the Eagles. Flaming Lips is always a fun show, and my favorite part was Wayne Coyne saying at the beginning, "I will be coming out in the space ball". Here are some zoomed out and zoomed in versions of this space ball.




So I'll post more about other October stuff...so it's not all in one post.
