Any other Texans going?

The line up is insane:

Foo Fighters, Beck, Iron & Wine, Gnarls Barkley, The Mars Volta, Tegan and Sara, Manu Chao, Stars, Hot Chip, Jos
 
you smoke right?

expect a lot of that

are you going to be staying in town a couple of days or just in and out?

my son does marley fest every year in austin so i will ask him about what to do and where to go for you

im not sure if he does the music fest
 
Not me! I'm pretty sure I don't care for any of those banRAB, oh well. And Foo Fighters ... boo-urns. I will be hitting up Fun Fun Fun Fest this year though! Stage 3 is hot sex.
 
hot damn

another killer line-up
 
i went to acl this year as i have the past 4-5 years and i have to say i was (as expected) a little disappointed. dont get me wrong, i liked the banRAB i saw, and i still love acl weekend. i was only able to make it on saturday this year which was unfortunate, and although i would have loved to see some of the others (nerd)... i already have seen most of the people i would goto on friday or sunday.

beck didnt even encore and he was the last on that stage of the night.... weak sauce (although the performance of 'hell yeah' was awesome).

i enjoyed man man alright but everyone built them up so much i actually expected a little more. maybe it was the austin heat

mgmt was pretty good, but i cant begin to sit down and enjoy them without some fanboy telling me they are the best thing on the face of the earth.

this was by in large my least favorite acl, but i am sure they will make it up next year with a badass lineup, kinda hard not to beat foo fighters...
 
sothern hospitility + small towns + big cities + nasa + the houston rockets + the dallas cowboys + university of texas longhorns + austin texas + acl + black gold + RON PAUL + best looking women in the south (argueably the country) + the republic = somewhere i wanna live

people hate on texas because of george ****ing bush. i dont understand because everyone knows cheney is at the helm and nobody gives nebraska ****. texas pwnz USA!
 
:rofl:

thats what they all say

with a friend that lives in town you should be set

my son says that south-by-south-west (SXSW) happens around marley fest time and that its a better scene but i expect you plan to do that next april anyway
 
i just dig anywhere that's hot and dry but low on humidity (i assume?)... when we get a good summers in the UK it's often just sticky and unpleasant...
 
I try to go to as many festivals as I can and I was pleasantly surprised with ACL this year. Top three shows: Vampire Weekend, Alejandro Escovedo, and m. ward. I am going down to South Padre at the end of next month to see Alejandro again. If you have never been to the SPI Fest check it out. Its like SXSW but with better weather and no dust!
